😐 I try pork carnitas in other places, and this place have to be the number one place for carnitas. The carnitas have an excellent taste and you will come back for more. I would give them 5 stars if the owners and staff allow the people eat and not remind people about Covid restrictions.

😐 Update: They have revamped everything. Even added handout-menus and employed waiters. However, the cost they display on their menu isnt the one they charge. Menu stated that their burritos are $6.99 but they charged $9.99. I didnt feel like confronting them as I understand businesses are trying to g...
