Only complaint is we wish it came with more salsa. Other than that, great meal and I will definitely come back in the future."

Apr 08, 2026"The carnitas here are on another level. Slow-cooked to perfection, impossibly tender, and seasoned in a way that feels like someone's been perfecting the recipe for generations. I've chased good carnitas all over the place, and nothing has come close to what they're doing here. Then there are the tortillas — and oh, the tortillas. Fresh-pressed and made to order, they come out warm with just the right amount of give and thickness. They don't just carry the carnitas; they elevate them. I've genuinely caught myself sneaking bites of them on their own. The salsas are equally impressive — vibrant, punchy, and house-made in a way you can taste. The staff, especially the ladies running the show, bring a warmth to the place that matches the food. It's the kind of spot that feels like a neighborhood secret — unpretentious, welcoming, and completely sure of itself. I brought my husband & kids here, and it's all they talk about now. This has become my weekly ritual, and honestly, I can't imagine it any other way. Do yourself a favor and go."
