Do your life a favor and mix it up. If you're not at least trying the cueritos you cannot be my friend. I love it by the taco. I don't care how many arteries it clogs I'm eating it. read more

Tried this restaurant out for the first time . Place is simple easy to make decisions . Tacos , burritos or plate choices, chicarones or Menudo is available too . Can buy by the pound or by party sizes . Me and co worker tried 2 lbs of Carnitas mixed with rice and beans and pico de gallo and hot salsa with fresh corn tortillas is was plenty of good food . I recommend this place for sure here in Rancho Cordova . You won't be disappointed read more

The staff isn't very friendly. I waited 10 mins before they even treated me. You would think they would great you and say we will be right with you but they don't. The food though is delicious carnitas flavorful moist and delicious as is their salsa. My grandma got the braised pigs feet and loved them. I would definitely recommend their food I just wish they were more welcoming read more

In pork we trust. Don't be like me when you go here! Order a por product, not their carne asada. When a location has a product in their name, I should have taken that as direction on how to order! Don't be like me. I ordered a grilled carne asada burrito and added avocado, sans beans. Given the avo was only $0.50 extra, I should have been weary. I was happy at the cost, but the amount they put in the burrito was laughable. I even got up and asked if they forgot to add it, but they said it was in there. After a few bits, I found the teaspoon they added. Not ideal, but lesson learned. The asada was okay. But I tried my friends carnitas and it was really good, crispy and not dry! If I am to come back, I will get any option with carnitas. Lesson learned. I was so happy to see they had Pepsi products on tap, which is my absolute favorite surprise when I go to a new restaurant. They have a salsa bar, but they cover the top portion with saran wrap, so it lead us to believe we were not to grab our own. The staff asked us which salsa we wanted when they brought us their food. Their mild salsa had more of kick than I anticipated, but I was actually able to hang! I also did get to try their homemade chicharron and the crunch was legit, but the flavor was on the blander side. I don't eat this often, so I could be uneducated in how these are supposed to taste -- take this review for whatever you want too. There was a small language barrier, but we were all able to get our orders completed. Please be patient and aware of this before you go in. Overall, it was consistently crowded in here, so I know the local community likes this spot. My burrito was okay, but their carnitas was better. I'll order better next time, I promise! Pork and more! read more

Crazy amazing food!!! It's all about the pig here! Great service as well! Will be back for sure... read more

The carnitas are moist and flavorful here. You go up to the counter and order at the register. There are a few inside tables, nothing fancy. The guy spoke mostly Spanish but no problem ordering. The burritos the cheese wasn't melted, but the amount of meat was very generous. The carnitas platillos was generous in portions also. The beans were delicious, rice was flavorful. The restaurant is located in an older strip mall not very inviting with bars on the windows. Lots of free parking in front though. I would order a party tray for a big get together. read more

I really enjoy the food here. Delicious, authentic, and fresh. The only downfall would have to be the bathrooms and customer service. The woman who cooks in the back is super sweet and polite, but the younger one with all the makeup, has an attitude, treats you with attitude, doesn't smile, unless it's a man. She's supet flirtatious with the Men that come in, but if you're a woman ans don't speak the best Spanish, attitude all the way. She needs an attitude adjustment or training on how customer service works. The place could use a little refresher, it's a bit on the dull side, but they do massive catering. read more

I visited Carnitas El Rincon on Friday, 7/28/23, during lunchtime. At first, I wanted to order a quesadilla. I was told that it could not be prepared. I decided to get four Carne Asada tacos with a side of beans as my next option. The tacos were extremely huge that I almost couldn't finish. The tacos tasted great, especially with the hot salsa. The side of beans was also good. This place has solid Mexican food. read more

The carnitas pura carne was delicious. The only issue I have is that there were a few small bones in the three pounds I ordered. Price point wasn't bad either. Service was great! read more

This is such a wonderful shop for one very special, unique and beautiful protein. The pig. Cerdo. Carnitas. This is and likely never will be a hip Tex mex spot with a long line of gringos at the door. The menu isn't going to win any awards or cause confusion of any kind. The menu consists of Carnitas and that's it. Some rice, beans, salsas and that's that. It through me off st first cause I was in the mood for something specific and they have a simple menu. But, the quality of the food is what's important here. The Carnitas are succulent and the lard shines its lovely soul across the crispy skin of the special bites. You basically order by the pound and get some tortillas to make tacos. It's glorious and I want to eat here all the time. If you're throwing a party, this is the spot. They have the capability to serve over 100 guests and the cost is reasonable AF. read more

This place has really good tacos, service is great, staff are always super friendly. My only concern is that it is hard to enjoy a meal, the place next door plays their music extremely loud, so loud that you can't even have a simple conversation in the restaurant without yelling. It really sucks for the restaurant. So if you come here, do a take out. read more

Some of the best carnitas I have had! You cannot beat the deals/ combos they have. The salsas were great. I love it all so we got the #2 combo with everything. The cueritos, the buche, ribs-- and of course carnitas, and salsa with rice and bean!!! My mouth is watering. read more

Found this business on Instagram, growing up in Mexico Sunday's were our Carnitas day for brunch. Had to give them a try, had combo # 4, which is 1.5 lbs of carnitas, rice, beans, tortillas, salsa and 2liter Pepsi. Added half a pound of cueritos and chicharron. This was more than enough for 4 people, we had it for brunch and again the following day as we had enough leftovers. The carnitas and salsa were the stars of the meal for us! Sooooooooo good!!! read more

We ordered their food through a food delivery app. Not sure whether they sell dishes with anything else but pork. But what they do have on the app is delicious. We ordered their tacos with different cuts of pork in each taco: mixed pork, pork ribs, pork belly, etc. All very delicious and they don't skimp on their meat portions. Also ordered a pound of chicharron which my husband couldn'tget enough of. Would highly recommend. read more

Bought a pound of carnitas here. So yummy! This place is a keeper for me. I will be back. The employees work hard, there were a lot of customers which is a very good indicator the food is good. read more

La comida esta muy buena y el servicio excelente Pero el iré acondicionado tal vez no servía o no estaba encendido porque estaba demasiado caliente adentro que no se podría ni disfrutar de comer las tan buenas carnitas que acrecen en el local creo que tal vez es por esa razón que todos piden para llevar no quiero ni imaginar lo que pasan los empleados trabajando todo el día ahí dentro con esas temperaturas. read more

So delicious. Really. The carnitas burrito is *absolutely* a meal for two people... These are great, rich, unctuous carnitas here, folks. Mmmm. read more

Food was okay. The customer services was nonexistent. The cashier was rude and it's not a welcoming place. I won't be returning because of that. I'm giving two stars because I'm feeling nice. read more

Best food. Premium people. We visited their new location in Waterloo and the guy there was amazing, super friendly, and kind. He let us use the bathroom, while every other gas station and store turned us away, He didn't even want us to buy anything but we wanted to support because we were so grateful. Sending much love and many blessings to the people who run this place. Thanks for your kindness and humanity that is much needed in a time like today. read more

Finding good carnitas is a lot harder than you'd think. I am glad a friend told me about Carnitas El Rincon! They are juicy, moist, just right amount of seasoning and flavor. The prices are hard to beat, especially because they often times have sales of buy 2 get 1 pound free. These tasted exactly like my favorite spot in Mexico and I'm telling all my family about them. They also offer the sides of beans, rice, salsas. If you want good carnitas this is the place to go. read more

Best burrito in the area hands down!! Fresh ingredients, avocado, meat and amazing salsa. Very authentic!! I average at least 2 burritos a month from here and it's mandatory on a hangover read more

I will never go here again. The man at the counter with the green eyes was so rude to us. He was unfriendly and made the experience very uncomfortable. The carnitas were dry and the tortillas were rock hard. We spent $80+ dollars for that. Maybe it was an isolated event because I see that other people had good experiences here. But I will not go back. read more

Decided to try this place out while passing it driving on Folsom Blvd. As a person that grew up eating carnitas, Carnitas were ok, a little on the dry side. They have many food combos that are really worth it. The small 1.5 lbs carnitas combo could easily feed 4 people for $30, large soda included, 2 sides and tortillas(not handmade). If you stop by I'd recommend getting the habanero salsa, use carefully since it's really spicy! read more

Best Carnitas in Sacramento! Taste just like the original in Mexico! Juicy. Flavorful. Delicious. My husband Eulices looooves this spot and so do we. read more

I can't believe I forgot to review this place. Their burrito changed my life. I was in the area and wanted to pick up a burrito somewhere, so I stopped here on a whim. Literally the best freaking burrito I've ever had, and I eat a lot of burritos. Now, I do like them simple - beans, meat, not much else. This place hit the spot completely. The salsa was on point, just spicy enough to add a good kick. I'm literally about to drive down from my house that's 30 minutes away now to go pick up another burrito. Eventually I'll try their taco pack, but haven't had the opportunity yet. Prices are great, service was friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Omg I haven't had good carnitas in sssoooo long and this place definitely hit the spot! The carnitas are super flavorful and juicy. We ordered the carnitas platillo (btw it came with a free soda!!) and the carnitas super burrito, which was super filling. The only thing missing was some limon (I can't believe I forgot to ask for some) The service is super fast and super friendly and the prices are so cheap for the quality you receive! Definitely coming back :) read more

Best carnitas in town! I was already a faithful client of the Vallejo branch but the Sacramento spot is even better!! The food is incredible and reasonably priced. The carnitas are fresh and tender and the customer service is friendly and efficient. I ordered a family deal to go that included 2 lbs of carnitas, rice, beans, tortillas, salsas all for a little over $30 AND they gave me an additional pound of carnitas for free as part of their current specials!!! They also have lunch specials that are pretty generous. Check it out and make sure you come hungry!! TIP: if you're ordering to go, you can call ahead and they'll have your food waiting for you when you arrive :) read more

OMG. Best carnitas in town. Can't go wrong ordering the Paquete Familiar - feeds generously 4! And it was only $27!

I'm so disappointed. I've been here several times and loved the food every time! But this time was another story. Found a small screw in my food!!! Not sure if it was from the carnitas or salsa. Scary because my toddler was eating with my wife and me. Called them about this and they refunded my meal. I was rather taken back by the lack of remorse for their mistake. They didn't even apologize. I'm now hesitant to go back and regret recommending this place to a few of my friends. read more
