    Small hole in the wall place.. used to be another Mexican spot. I hadn't tried this since it doesnt catch ur attention if you drive by and see it.. my friend told me they had weekly specials and it was good. Was definitely worth it! Got combo #1 de carnitas to share. Very filling was enough for two of us. Comes w pico, salsa and tortillas. Carnitas were so good. I love the cueritos. A must try ! I'll be back for sure Only thing I didn't like was the agua de piña But they have many options. Beer too

    Ok guys I'm about to put you on to one of my favorite place / an amazing carnitas spot you'll ever find. Me and my family have been coming to this spot for a couple years now but never actual did a review and it's time. The taste of the food comes first, you'll be craving this on a weekend after cleaning the house or on a random Tuesday. The taste is so authentic and rich it just does it for me. It was a Saturday when I came in and it was fairly busy but was super easy to order. They have combo if you want to get it with tortillas, pico, and salsa. If you want the meats just by the pound they also do that and you could just get sides for additional. We usually do tortillas by hand at home so I didn't do the combo this time. I ordered 2 pounds de buche and 2 pounds of carnitas. Salsa came on the side for that and just added a pico. The person taking my order was super nice. The workers are very genuine and know what they're doing. If you come in on a weekend they have menudo which is very popular and usually runs out. Parking is very easy to find if not you could always park on the street. Inside vibes are absolutely great for me with good music, they sell alcohol if you want to buy some, and serve some pretty amazing food opinions. If your trying to pick up to go I would recommend calling so your order could be ready when you get there. This place is a must try overall!! Check them out.

    I should've taken a picture before I started devouring this plate but this is the to go spot for carnitas. These aren't your ordinary street tacos. These are fatty tacos delicious !!! As soon as you walk into the building you can see the workers on the side making the plates of food. The restaurant looks small but there's extra seating on the side.

    I came here recently with my family hoping to have a tasty carnitas lunch. There is plenty of parking out front, indoor seating and a bathroom. The person at the counter was friendly and answered our questions. The restaurant was empty when we arrived but we decided to give it a chance. My husband ordered a carnitas taco, my daughter and I both ordered carnitas tortas and a Jamaica agua fresca. We got our food pretty quickly after we ordered. That was the good news. Bad news... my daughter and I couldn't eat our food because the tops of the torta bread was very moldy like green spots not quite science experiment but still moldy. I gave the tortas back and we got a refund. The person behind the counter offered to make us something else but tbh we lost our appetite after seeing the moldy bread also didn't want to take a chance on something else. Maybe it was a bad day but I am not sure I will be coming back. My mom ate here on the same day also had tacos and she felt ill afterwards, said the food tasted like the oil had been used too many times.

    This place has perfected the carnitas. They only serve carnitas and it doesn't disappoint. The tacos already have a kick to it so adding the salsa is at your discretion. Two tacos was filling enough with great flavors that pretty much made me think about getting one more taco because whyyy not?! The restaurant isn't that big and in my opinion is really meant for take out and quick eats. Service was fast and easy so no complaints there.

    Nice people behind the counter. Quick and easy service. Just good simple carnitas plate to go before the NBA playoff games tonight. Support your local little neighborhood businesses. They need the customers and We need them to stay in business!

    I do like coming here for Taco Tuesday. Getting carnitas tacos. They usually don't the green sauce but today they did which was awesome. Hopefully they have it more often. The tacos are delicious. Lastly before I left, the guy noticed he over charged us and give us the correct change. That was really nice of him to notice and to correct the mistake. Thank you!

    1. The carnitas were delicious, and it definitely goes well with the beans and rice! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes with a main seating area as well as a back sitting area! 3. The staff were friendly and quick with my order! It took 5 mins! 4. Parking is limited with signs for reserved parking and no-overnight parkings! Note: They have a single bathroom!

Super yummy food with great customer service! The food is delicious because I keep coming back. However, one employee treats their sauce like it's gold.

It's very frustrating because they only except cash. There was a female employee that used to work there during the day. I haven't seen her for a while, but I wish she would come back.

Decided to drop in and was delighted to know their Taco Tuesday special is $1 street tacos for a select handful of 8 protein fillings and $2 for 6 other choices. Even their regular price is still very reasonable. There was definitely a line around 6pm but it moved quickly. Love that they also have a self service taco condiments bar and area on the side of their truck where you can top your food with the freshly sliced or pickled veggies/chilis and slather on various taco sauces to your heart's content. Especially loved that they use a rotating gyro style meat grill for some of their meats. I also noticed they had another truck/van parked nearby where one of the staff would go to replenish some of their supplies for their taco truck. What an efficient way to keep up with demand by having a mobile/secondary vehicle that you can use for storage of stock to keep up with the high demand. I loved all the street tacos that I tried: carnitas, fried fish filet, al pastor, carne asada. Flavorful and done right! Definitely recommend this spot any day of the week when they're open, but especially for their Taco Tuesday specials.

I used to come here on Taco Tuesdays only because the tacos were $1 and the line at El May is always too long. I chose convenience over taste, but in the end, this place offers neither. On my last visit, I waited about 40 minutes for my tacos. I ordered six and only managed to eat three before realizing I had overpaid and that the $1 tacos weren't worth my time or the effort it took to chew them. I threw the remaining three straight into the trash. I genuinely chose to go hungry rather than finish them. The meat and tortillas were both bad, and the portion sizes were pitiful. I honestly don't recommend this place at all, especially when Tacos El May is literally right next door.
