They used to be the bomb but they have changed, shrimp burritos are very watery with less shrimp. Fish tacos are now dry and not half as good as it used to be. Carnitas crispy tacos were a dry wad of meat. The last few times was not enjoyable at all. Lastly carnitas up in this area are terrible, instead of being small chunks of pork cooked till brown on all sides like they do on the peninsula they cook big giant chunks of pork with hardly any brown crust which is where all the taste is. If I want good tasty carnitas I have to go to San Francisco to get the real thing, smh. read more

Very UNPROFESSIONAL. No reason I should call for takeout and be left on hold 15 minutes enough time for me to leave my house drive to your restaurant see that the line and the restaurant is empty place my order and still not getting a response on the phone that is WILD. so I let the cashier at the front know AS I'm placing my order hey I'm still on the line with you guys. Do you know that you guys put someone on HOLD 15 minutes ago you guys are missing orders for one you guys are not even able to take one customers order who called that a certain time because you guys are just negligent and then the girl at the front just smiled and says "Mhm" like you guys are Hella unprofessional and I'm not spending my hard earned money there like I don't care you guys need the money I don't I can easily go up and down this railroad street and find 5 to 10 other spots just like you guys so I'm not understanding why you have cashiers with attitude like you guys don't care about the customers when you guys actually need us. And yep I turned around and walked out. I'm not paying you a dime read more

Huge burrito. Bigger than my head. Would eat again. Very tasty. Only $12. How many characters is 85?!

Service was good and the food in regard to the meat in the tacos was actually very flavorful. The appliance of the tacos could have been better and a little more crisp, but the taste was good. Ambiance was a hometown feeling. read more

This is my go to spot when ordering carnitas. The flavor as well as the prices are amazing. In my opinion, the best spot in Pittsburg Antioch area. read more

The only thing I care about finding in my area is a good, affordable breakfast burrito and I found it here. Carnitas Tijuana has what I currently consider to be the best breakfast burrito that's actually less than $10 in the Pittsburg/Antioch area, which is impressive considering it used to be cheaper and has avocado in it. I'm torn on whether I consider it to be the best breakfast burrito for under $10 in East Contra Costa County since I like El Farolito in Concord a lot but this is geographically much closer to me so it has an edge in convenience. Burrito size is hefty and about the size of my forearm, which I like. What separates this from El Farolito's breakfast burrito, other than ten miles, is that Carnitas Tijuana opts to use hash browns as their filler starch of choice instead of rice to soak up the oils and juices from the protein. I like potatoes so I have no problem with this. I don't think it inherently makes it objectively better or worse than El Farolito's breakfast burrito but for me, it does make it slightly less heavy so I don't completely hate myself as much. From what I could see, everything is freshly made to order and isn't sitting out on a heater like most taquerias I've been to. This means the wait for food can be longer, especially if you pick chorizo for your protein, but since I've always gone when there's no line anyway, it never mattered to me. Long story short, this is my new go to spot for breakfast burritos for the time being. Good stuff and very affordable. That's all I've ever wanted from my area. read more

Food is always on point! Be warned in the afternoons it's hot in the space but so worth it. The workers are always friendly and happy to help. If you are craving carnitas, chicharrones this is the place read more

Chilaquiles were disgusting and they used canned sauce. Messed up my moms order on mothers day and instead of changing their mess up, they dumped it on a different plate and brought us a slop of a mess back. A plate of cold chilaquiles, they basically just switched it to another plate. Awful service, young lady workers with a fat attitude. DO NOT GO TO THIS DUMP! read more

We had been here once before and I was delicious longtime family owned business. So delicious I tried something called a Gordita Mexicana but forgot pictures . So we are here again I couldn't remember what the name was of what ordered Evelyn immediately remembered us and told what we ordered 3 weeks before. That kind of friendly face and her memory . This kinda customer service is A+ awesome . The super Burrito half carnitas and half steak was so flavorful and packed full of meat my Partner loved it Even though he is Italian Burritos are his favorite food ever! read more

This place does not know how to make gorditas. I ordered 2, one chicken and the other chicharon. I grabbed the gordita and it fell apart right away, it looked like they put all the filling in between 2 thick masa tortillas, the chicharon was not crunchy at all it was more like big chunks of pork pieces, the presentation was sloppy and messy. The chicken was the same, a mess. I showed the cook and they replaced my items with tacos. Don't go there if you want Gordita's. read more

Food was alright. I definitely brought my appetite and it was the first time I tried a Mexican restaurant on this side of the bay. Unfortunately, my tacos were under seasoned and a bit on the soggy/warm-ish side. The interior was definitely pretty and well decorated though! I thought for sure that the food would be just as good when I walked in but probably shouldn't have come in with high expectations. Maybe it was an off day for the chef? read more

Carnitas platter is supposed to come with homemade tortillas. What I received was all packaged tortillas. Not that big a deal right? WRONG. The homemade tortillas price is a lot more expensive in the restaurant. For $30 I could've just bought so much more elsewhere. I felt super ripped off . Not going to bother coming here anymore. read more

4 table seating inside and five booth/tables inside Roaming around wondering where I can go for Taco Tuesday. Should I hit up a place where I know is super good or try a new place and hope for the best? Carnitas Tijuana is across the street, wait maybe across the parking lot from one of my favorite taco places. Hmm, there we go. I wonder if they got a deal going on. They've got a large menu. Lots of plate combos that you can choose. Lots of nice little option. Just no deal because it was apparently Taco Tuesday. Okay so went for two steak tacos and a water bottle. Steak tacos: $2.98 Water Bottle: $1.25 Total: $4.61 Thoughts: Salsa bar- not give a whole lot of chips Mild pico de gallo Fajitas tasted old Red salsa fairly spicy Tacos okay, tortilla soft, onions fresh, meat cooked okay though a little chewy, not a whole lot flavor, had to add some salsa. I think my experience wasn't that good. It okay. 3/5 read more

I made a purchase inside the restaurant for 2 burritos. Waited 15-20min. A couple came and ordered after me and received their order before me which I thought was strange. They finally call my order it's only 1 burrito. So I think to myself ok maybe the other one is still being made. I wait another 5 min and nothing so I go up and ask the girl (short girl her hair has highlights and she has glasses) hey I ordered 2 burritos and only got 1, her response: oh it's because the other couple took your order. ?????????????? Okaaayy??????? In my mind I'm like wtf how is that my fault, so you're just going to give me their order thinking that's ok? And not say anything? She goes over to her manager (I assume) and tells him and they remake my order. Mind you she NEVER asked what I ordered. I get home and my order is STILL wrong! $30 and 40min for nothing!! Worst experience read more

Awesome deal for carnitas by the pound. Everything was delicious. Great way to get tacos for the family on the go.

Came last night around 6:00pm. Ordered Gorditas Mexicanas and the kids quesadilla. Price was $14.31 for both. Prices are super cheap. Gorditas looked nothing like it did on the menu. Was superrr mid, the carnitas was good tho. Should be that's in their name. Girlfriend's quesadilla was also extremely mid. Portions were big tho so for $14 bucks can't really complain. Sauces had literally no flavor and my rice was burnt. Beans were decent. Cheap prices / Cheap Food. Service was nice as well. Maybe it was a bad day. read more

I would add pictures, but we devoured everything that we got. My friends got the Carnitas platter. The beans and rice were slamming. The Carnitas are seasoned to perfection. I got a shrimp taco and a Carnitas taco. They make everything fresh in house. We tried the mango, Pineapple, and Horchata drinks. All three tasted fresh as hell. Thanks guys for an amazing experience. read more

Some of the best Mexican food around! They also make some fire pupusas! They are the most authentic I've tried out here in the East bay. My best friend in Elementary-Highschool is Salvadorian and her momma got down with pupusas. Slightly reminded me of hers (We all know homemade is best) read more

I've eaten here like 4 times and can confidently say this is an excellent neighborhood spot in Pittsburg. Come here and get their carnitas. They sell it by the pound and their combos come with rice, beans, tortillas, red and green salsa and (sometimes) chips. It's also VERY affordable. CARNITAS: Perfectly crisp and salted. TORTILLAS: Handmade! Flour. SALSA: Comes in red and green. Very acidic, to cut the rich carnitas. Not too spicy if you really love heat. RICE AND BEANS: Rice is fine. Beans are DELICIOUS. I could come here just for the beans, which are so rich and savory. Pittsburg is a sleepy city in East Bay but the Mexican food is excellent here. And you know it's a neighborhood spot because locals are always ordering takeout here. read more

I had a Torta Cubana, which was okay. I never tasted one with chicken tho; might be me. And my friend got that Carne Asada plate. The meat had some fat in it, so definitely not the best, but the sides of rice and beans was bomb They bring the food to you, and self serve for sauces. Customer service is okay. I would probably come back for something else, but this is your typical Mexican spot: nothing too special for me read more

Ruined my burrito completely on DoorDash. I put in the notes and description of the order NO ONIONS, NO CILANTRO. I still received them in my burrito and I couldn't even enjoy it by picking out the cilantro because im allergic to onion. This was a waste of money! I ended up giving it to my brother who then said the carnitas tasted off, more like a tuna. Also the burrito itself wasn't big enough to warrant $13. read more
