Just opened last week so had to try it out since not many places offer good carnitas (only Al…read morepastor) around the area but these were very good. The tacos dinner with rice and beans was great! I ordered it with 2 carnitas and 1 barbacoa taco and the flavors on both were delicious. My BF ordered steak tacos (they forgot one but oh well... We went back later and got a pound of carnitas with tortillas and rice and beans to go and they gave us extra meat without us even letting them know, which was awesome!!!) And I thought the steak was pretty fatty and didn't have much flavor like the carnitas and other meats we tried. Also got the chicken in my third visit yesterday and the seasoning was really tasty imo. Great flavor on both types of salsa they give you to go as well. Tried the tacos both the traditional way (onion and cilantro) and with lettuce and tomato (plus cheese) and both are great - the onion is diced perfectly enough to melt into the meat when eating. My son LOVES the rice but it definitely tastes exactly how I make it at home, which is a good thing honestly because he likes mine too haha! Tried the cheese quesadilla and it was good... Could have been on the grill longer and had a bit more cheese on it but hey, it's a quesadilla and it's cheap lol Their homemade corn tortillas are perfection tho!! I saw them making them yesterday when I was waiting for my order and the woman in back was hand flipping them on the grill... Love it!! The service is very friendly and you can tell it's a family owned business, everyone worked efficiently. The prices are reasonable and it was actually even cheaper to get a family meal with the lb of carnitas and sides for all of us vs individual dinners which I love - unfortunately even tho we live super close, it didn't travel well and was somewhat cold and seemed a little dry by the time we got home to eat... Will have to try the mix of carnitas vs meat only next time to see if that helps. They kept the diner vibes inside the restaurant and it's very clean with cute little pig pictures all over the walls. I'm curious to see if they'll open and use the drive-thru in the future, which would be even better! Can't wait to see how they do. We'll probably use them for catering. Gave it a 4 vs 5 for flavor... Just needs to be kicked up a notch I think. But otherwise the carnitas that's in the name, they're definitely do the best with! So far so good.

I've been drawn to the breakfast tacos as they have been discounted at least until last week. Now they have itemized charges for everything you add to your taco so I'm not impressed. Adding a sprinkle of cheese shouldn't cost 69 cents. A half teaspoon of pico de gallo they call 'Laredo style' was another 98 cent charge. My usual $2.99 taco last week cost me $5.35 today which is a little frustrating. I did enjoy it otherwise but if they want more customers they need to lower their prices.

I feel like most Mexican take out places have a section now where grilled veggies or avocado is the star. If you don't want meat, ask to create your own food. I asked for a vegetarian burrito. I subbed sour cream for guac and added onions. The onions were gigantic, not diced. The rice is Mexican rice, red with corn and other veggies. It's bland. The whole burrito needs salt!
