    Delicious food. Clean spot. Extremely friendly owner. I had the carnitas mixed burrito and it was delicious. The salsas were on point. Great little spot to stretch out and enjoy a nice authentic Mexican meal. One of those meals you keep thinking about and already want to return.

    Best carnitas in Los Angeles IMHO. I usually order tacos but I had a sope the other day that was fire!

    My mind was blown with the delicious carnitas and buche. The chilaquiles that they make there are one of the best in town. They use fresh tortilla and they stir fry it and add their own salsa which is really good with enough of a kick. The chilaquiles will definitely feed a whole family. They are topped with carnitas and two fried eggs. The tacos are also good. The salsa is added on the side of the plate. They put enough carnitas and buche and red onion, cilantro and lemon. Check out the pictures to see how loaded everything is. Come hungry.

    Delicious! My son had the fries carnitas only 12$, I had the nachos carnitas 12$. They both come fully loaded with ALOT of carnitas. Fresh, made to order, will melt in your mouth. The owner is sooo friendly & welcoming. It’s a stylish, clean, neighborhood authentic restaurant.

    Really good carnitas and a lot of flavor, The guy at the front counter was friendly. I can’t wait to try the chile quilles. I didn’t have a plate in the pic below so I used my filthy center console to add flavor

    As soon as you step inside the restaurant you feel welcome by the wonderful staff. Our chilaquiles burrito was delicious and made with love. Salsa Verde and cotija cheese gave the burrito a plus. Highly recommended

    This spot is great because of the friendly service you receive, they are a great staff and the owner is good people. The food in my opinion may be over priced in a way but you do get a good amount. The mulitas are tasty. The tacos are some what big but it lacks in quality, the meat is chewy and the chicken needs flavor. THEY DIDN'T HAVE GREEN SALSA! My boyfriend and I were so upset on the other hand the red and habanero salsas are killer spicy and tasty!

    This is the place I’ll show off when I have friends / family visit or when someone needs a recommendation by the airport. Carnitas are so delicious but the one that changed the breakfast burrito game for me was the chilaquiles burrito!! I will definitely be coming back. I was lucky and came during the week. I heard weekends are really busy and no seating - good luck! It’s worth the wait.

    Decent place for a quick pick me up. Lots of seating was unavailable, small parking lot on the side. Friendly staff and fast service. Carnitas were very tender but a bit bland. Sour cream was runny, but dense and rich. Rice and beans were standard. Generous portions and okay prices. Would try again.

    My fav carnitas spot. Came here a couple times for the chilaquiles burrito and it's as good as it looks! Chilaquiles torta is also bomb! Family friendly staff and great homemade food and carnitas! Make sure you ask for beans and rice on your chilaquiles plate 😉...

    I think I’m addicted!! The food is so good I’ve come here 5x in two weeks. I’ve tried the tacos, burritos and sope with various meets, including Carnitas Asada and Lengua. Every single one has been hit and this is definitely my new favorite place. Customer service can be hit or miss depending on who’s at the register but overall, it’s been a good experience. It’s nice that there is plenty of parking on the street or in their parking lot so it shouldn’t be too difficult. There’s outdoor seating as well as indoor but indoor it can get a little hot during the summer as I don’t think they have the AC on , but if you open the back door while the front door is open, do you have plenty of breeze. If you’re on the fence definitely go try it! It’s so good.

    I've been chasing chilaquiles with green sauce since Mexico City, 2016. Nowhere came close - and believe me, I've tried over the past seven years! Today, the search has ended: THE CHILAQUILES HERE ARE THE BOMB!!!!! First of all, the carnitas - PERFECTION. Not dry, very flavorful. They got the most out of that pig!! The green salsa was also absolutely perfect, and the entire plate was a hearty, satisfying portion. I can't say enough good things aaaaaaand this place is five minutes from the crib! Can't wait to go back.

    This was my first time trying this place I ordered myself a carnitas gordita. The carnitas actually taste good the only that ruin my plate was the dough they used had seriously no flavor and was very thick they should add more flavor to it.

    Bomb spot! If you like to eat 🐖 you're at the right place! I get cueritos and carnitas plate to go. I appreciate the cilantro and cebolla from here you can see they don't go cheap here. They have outdoor patio. Parking in the rear. And dine in.

    These carnitas are authentic. Well made. Great taste, great color, and made in a copper cazo. The way they should be. I had a chilaquile burrito today with carnitas & cuerito, 2 tacos de carnitas con cuerito and a Agua de Horchata. Everything was very delicious. The people that work here are very friendly and cool. I am very pleased and happy that I found this place. Excited and looking forward to returning very soon. Puro Tangancicuaro Michoacan si señor!!

    We wanted to try some authentic carnitas visiting from Australia. This food was so so so good. Fresh and the best Mexican I’ve ever had. Lovely outside and inside dining area with quick service. Thank you!!
