Zamora Bros - Torta Ahogada with Carnitas from Zamora Bros - Mexican Near Me - Hawthorne, California

This is a single visit, burrito only review. Pass, Zamora Bros to and from Costco so checked out Yelp reviews, solid. Wife and I shared a carnitas burrito, about $11. The lady taking orders pretty much spoke Spanish solo, so I stumbled with my Espanol! She helped me with "for here" aqui haha. Burrito was excellent, nicely warmed and slightly crisped up tortilla. Decent size, not big not small well stuffed. The pork was plentiful and tasty. Saw some reviews about "saltiness" which I noticed but not too strong for me. Sal es Sabor, sí? Dining room is decent, clean. They have a hot case with some real good looking chicharrones. I would come back and grab some for sure and another burrito anytime. read more

I love this place since it's my place to go for pork belly chicharrón and big huge burrito for lunch when I worked nearby back in the days. The place has its own parking lot so easy to find parking. They have foods to go and others dishes. The pork belly is delish and fresh since they cooked right there, infront of you in batches. You pick the piece you like. Some are hard (my friend loves it) and some are not that hard but crunchy and each bite, fat juice just drips out. You have to pick the ones that you like. Their burritos are hugely made. Filled with (your choice) of meat w/ rice, bean and everything else. I tended to do 1/2 beef 1/2 pork. Well made and with cheap price in the area. Now, the price has gone up but quality is still there. They do have their own parking lot so easy to park. Great and very attentive customer service. The place is on the corner so plenty of light from outside through glass window. Seating area with 7-8 tables and it's clean and spacious. Glad I stopped by and grabbed some pork belly to go . read more

My husband went to buy pork belly chicharrón I was unchewable hard not fresh at all. Not to the speciations of the restaurant claim fresh food daily it seems they had been cooked for days. I gave them a call and the manager can't take feed back got upset and called me a liar which I am Not I have eaten their before and have Ben good but not these time To much $$$$ for low quality food. They told me to bring back my husband said no it was breakfast time he didn't want to deal with these awful employees plus we didn't want no more food. We wanted money back with they refuse. Never again am I spending my money in these place. They won took my money while food went to the trash. read more

Zamora Bros - Carnitas burrito with rice and beans - Mexican Near Me - Hawthorne, California

This place is great, and the sense of nostalgia it brings from my childhood can't be beat. The carnitas are excellent, and the tacos de sesos are the best. read more

I got 15lbs of carnitas picada and they were amazing! The food was so fresh and tasty! Amazing customer service the minute I walked in. Great ambience makes you feel like the food is going to be authentic and full of great taste! read more

Always wanted to eat here as when I would drive by there was always customers inside. Had a regular all meat Carnita burrito and my son had a regular Carnita burrito with rice and beans and both were really really good. But the cool thing is, you can have variations of what part of the Carnitas that you want, which is always great more fatty, less fatty, and on and on. The two ladies that were working there are awesome, kind of like eating at home if you know what I mean. Very sweet very helpful. If you want, Carnitas, give this place a shot. read more

Well ' burritos are too big ! Meat didn't have flavor ! Yet very salty ' I won't Go there ' No Bueno ! Ewwww

Received rude and sarcastic welcoming, just because I didn't need pounds of food I just need it a plate.Next time I will take my money somewhere else. read more

Trash food always salty and flys everywhere food from 2-3 days ago use to be good when they first open

Amazing . Just absolutely amazing . Is a ratio that is perfect every bite you get meat rice and beans nothing and salsa oh my god hit the spot read more

Purchased some chicharrons and they were too greasy..no meat and charged me too much. Never again!

The carnitas are hood but sometimes can be a little salty but besides that i like to get my buche from there

Best tacos I've had in a long time. Mixto is the way to go but the lengua was also very good. Friendly ladies working there too. I'll definitely be going back soon. read more

Love this place. Always so accommodating and the food is excellent. My son won't eat beans from anywhere else.

The service here is bad, literally had to have police involved due to how unprofessional these people are. These people are truly disgusting after trying to ignore the girls smart a$$ attitude she proceeded to come to my table and harass me. But judging by the way her hair wasn't combed right you can tell she had no class in her . read more

Located on the corner of the block nest thr Business Costco, they have a wide assortment of pork products to offer you. The carnitas taco was tasty as well as the chicharron taco. There is no menu so you're ordering food in the dark. There is no pricing for the products. Hopefully, you don't get skimped or overcharged. If you're new to here, you have no idea how to start. There are no labels or anything to differentiate which is which in the case where all the food is. Not very customer friendly of how to order. Tables are dirty and flies were roaming around the food. They have a parking lot. Overall, their tacos are something to try. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I haven't even tried the Carnitas yet but I feel like I was overcharged...not only that...I'm assuming he didn't count the money I gave him which was $80. My total was $63 and it should have been $50. He gave me $7 in change. I got a salsa ($3.00), small rice ($3), small beans ($3.00), 2lbs of Carnitas ($12.99 p/p=$26), one menudo ($9.00). They charged me $63! I gave them $80 and they gave me $7 in change! They're either doing some shady sh** because that's a MAJOR ERROR TWICE, that's whack. Really, really whack. They're shady as f*** here. A complete rip off. They got an additional $20 out of me and I'm really pissed about it. Really pissed. Avoid this place at all costs. It's a shame when you're trying to help smaller businesses and they do some shady crap like this. NEVER again. I'll always go to ELA over this whack ass, lying ass place. read more

Best carnitas tacos ever!! Highly recommended! The staff is extremely friendly and has amazing service! I would definitely recommend for a quick bite or take home. read more

Zamora Bros - Carnitas tacos - Mexican Near Me - Hawthorne, California

Recently was told about this place and decided to try it out. I ordered the carnitas plate with a side of cueritos and it was delicious!! Family that runs it is always so welcoming. Have been here 3 times already since I found out about it last month! read more

One of the best carnitas restaurants I have had. I love going to this place. Two thumbs up

I went in today for the first time and do plan to go back!The younger lady there didn't wash her hands after charging customers.She went to chopping the carnitas with her bare hands after touching money!DISGUSTING!!! read more

tacos de carnitas were dry. customer service was terrible they were rushing us out of the restaurant at 5:30 pm and online it says they close at 7. Definitely not coming back read more

First time customer. Really really salty carnitas. Couldn't even eat them. This is a thing from reading other reviews. Not going back

I've been in this area forever and just barely tried this place for the first time recently. It's a bit low key but the food there is pretty decent they have carnitas, chicharron, rice and beans. Great for a quick lunch as they serve food fast. read more

Only bought two carnita tacos , literally 1st bite i spit it out. The carnitas were beyond SALTY!! not even drenching them in salsa or squeezing lemon helped.. hate to say my money went to the trash today.. not coming back. read more

So we went to look at a vehicle and driving back we saw this place aardvark said let's stop. What a great idea, this place is amazing. Let me tell you the people that work here are just the best. Very friendly and very helpful. The food is oh so good we had carnitas and chorizo (homemade) rice and white beans. It was the bomb! The portions were more then I could handle. If you are in the area an want amazing food and met amazing people this is your place. We drove and hour and I would do it again.. See you again read more

As long as I've been going to this place I've never had a problem, I'm surprised by the reviews, maybe something's changed. I know I will be going back at some point because their "Chicharron Burrito" w/Beans, Cilantro, Onions and that Habanero Chile' is so good! I have people hooked on this place. I've bought the Tripas, Carnitas and Chicharron and never had an issue. They were all good. To me Carnitas have to be deep fried and not boiled (yuk'). If there is a problem the next time I go, I'll edit this post for an update. Reviews are always helpful. read more

Bought a pound of carnitas and a small brand and she charged me $20 when it should have been $16. They overcharge everything and their food is pretty basic. I wish I had just saved my money and gotten the carnitas special at Northgate. It sucks when small businesses take advantage of their customers. read more

Food is good. Carnitas buche chicharrón is on point. Lady wearing glasses with red apron and red hat kinda rude. Needs to work on her customer service skills. read more

This was my first time here. But it was one of the best Carnitas I ever had. If you are looking for good quality home made Mexican I highly recommend Zamora Brothers & Son's Restaurant. read more

I was told that this place has the best carnitas in town.... Boy were they wrong smh....I love carnitas and for me not to finish my taco tells you a lot. I would say it was at 11 out of 10 with salt I couldn't eat them because they was just too damm salty. I would not be going back to this place.. if you are reading this I have a place that REALLY has the best carnitas in the country.. Carnitas El MoMo 2411 Fairmount St Los Angeles, California hands down it blows this place out the water... read more

Best Carnitas in the South Bay and the West Side HANDS DOWN!!! Made fresh daily authentic Mexican style and the prices are very reasonable.

My all time favorite carnitas spot!!!! Oh how I missed them while they were shut down. So happy they are back up and running. The staff if friendly and trusting of their loyal customers. I almost feel like family. Love their habanero salsa, its fuego! I have also had their chile verde, tacos, burritos and chile relleno. They make the chile relleno just like my momma, not the lazy way most restaurants do them where they cover them in scrambled egg! I hate that! I am also a fan of their rice, it pricey but I have had it with the combo plates and I like it. read more

Great spot for authentic carnitas. Definitely a gotta go spot to eat when I'm in Hawthorne.

If you love freshly prepared Carnitas, this is the place to come to! A few of the fellas decided to come check this place out after church service at VO Inglewood. The staff were very friendly and accommodating as they allowed us to rearrange the tables to allow our large group to sit ala "Last Supper" table style. :-) We got about 6-7 lbs of carnitas, ribs, and chicharones with a few dozen tortillas. They give you a large bowl of refried beans, rice, and plenty of chopped onions, cilantro, and tasty red tomatillo salsa. It was enough for a hungry platoon of starving warriors! I highly recommend this place! One of the waitresses aptly named "Dulce" (she lives up to her name as she is the nicest and sweetest ladies) even gave us some free bottles of water when we were done. We will definitely be back again! Great staff, great food AND great prices! I also grabbed a Chile relleno burrito to go for my friend and she loved it! She said it must have weighed over two pounds! So, they are also generous with their portions and their to go orders. Try them out and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. read more

An acquaintance of mine lost significant weight after reading the book, "Why We Get Fat". I asked her what she ate or snacked on and she told me, pork rinds from the gas station, lol. Ever since she told me I wanted to try some. I am a firm believer in the ketogenic diet and that saturated fats do not make you fat but the carbs that turn into sugar does. So you can eat the carnitas but not the rice and tortillas :P A friend who was shopping at the Costco Business Center told me she smelled this place from across the street and saw a line out the door. Like a bakery, you pick up a tray/tongs and help yourself to the pieces you want. I was just going to try the chicharron but there were some interesting pieces of perfectly fried meat that I didn't realize were deep-fried carnitas. Living in the Chino Valley, there are many places that sell carnitas but you have to take it home and add more oil to create the crust. The carnitas here are perfection. A layer of skin is scored on the top, the outer layer is crunchy, the next layer is fat and the inside is perfectly cooked shreddable meat that is not dry at all. It would be awesome with guacamole, onions, and cilantro.... They sell an assortment of pork products: intestine, feet, etc., homemade tortillas, chips and have very yummy looking hot foods including stews, rice, beans, and chile rellenos. The ladies that work here are very nice :P read more

WOW! This is some BOMB carnitas. Hugo hooked me up with one of the best burritos I have had in a long long time. Simple, but great flavors.. very authentic. The meat is delicious and not too greasy... just the right amount of fat. The chile verde looked great as well so I have to try that on my next visit. I am very impressed. read more
