    Tacos Ahogados
    Montse S.

    Go there and order a couple pounds of carnitas and three crispy potato tacos"tacos Ahogados". The tacos are so amazing you will thank me later. And the carnitas are a gift that should be shared with the world. Make sure you order tortillas because they are not included but are so tasty. The salsas are the perfect balance of spice and burst of flavor. We also had the menudo with the additional of a pigs foot and it was heaven on earth. Seriously took me back to my childhood memories. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is ample seating inside and plenty of parking but do order ahead they get very busy especially weekend mornings when they have menudo available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Oh and I almost forgot about their cafe de olla, so creamy and just the right amount of sweetness.

    My burrito cut in half.

    I Great Play to Eat and enjoy your food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have great music playing and they greet you as soon as you come in[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The service is great and they help you, if your new customer. I would come back to this place. They get a 10 Star

    Came for breakfast and the service was amazing. All the ladies working the front are incredibly sweet, their cafe de holla is delicious, their aguas are very flavorful, and all the food we have tried has been delicious. Above are the Ranchero skillet, nopales skillet, Enchiladas Michoacanas, and a side of chiles toreados and cebolla curtida. Everything was amazing and came out in a timely manner. This is a great spot all around!

    I have been eye balling this place for a while as its been sitting in my gotta try list. I was told by some friends and family this is a good spot to get some tacos and mexican food. I'm glad I finally gave this place a chance! I finally tried their birria as it's a section on their menu specializing their birria. I just wanted some tacos for the day and I'm glad I got to try it. Even as take out the cheese was still stringy, the meat was juicy and flavorful, the tortilla had a good crunch and the birria consomé was a good dip for the tacos. The limes I was given were not super ripe and hard to squeeze out the juice from but it still was fine. The Horchata was nice and refreshing to drink along side with the tacos. The cashier at the front taking orders answered any questions I had and was really patient with me while I ordered. The music was bumping inside and it seemed like a good sit down restaurant if you have the chance. Definitely a return from me and reccommending other friends and family who hasnt tried this place yet!

    I can't believe the last time I checked in here was 2 years ago EXCELLENT!!!!!! Service is so friendly Ok, yes, it's a hole in a wall. A mom and pops restaurant, a lot of those are the best food I had a Mixta meat scramble It was a custom order. I would have added beans and rice and a dab if guacamole Fresh, I believe, hand-made tortillas Freshly made guacamole These sweet corn cakes were excellent Cafe de la Olla dead ringer Will be back soon so much to try The owner came by and had to say excellent food Being yucateco, I'm coming back for those cebolla morada(purple pickled onions) That must soooooo gooood with tacos And I see menudo another must try

    Birria
    Tiffany C.

    This place is delicious! Everything was great and tasted fresh. We had birria and an asada burrito. The burrito was HUGE and you get a lot of meat in it. Was a little pricey but with house big it was and how great it tasted, id say it was worth the price. The birria was juicy and super flavorful. The pina juice was also delcious but for a large was $6 which seems rather high. The staff was super friendly and the restaurant was very clean. The star of the show was really the watermelon and chamoy. While this probably isn't super difficult to make at home, their chamoy sauce was the best I have had. It was absolutely amazing. Super messy and gooey, so make sure to have plenty of napkins but man oh man it was so good! Definitely check this place out! We will be coming back to try some of their breakfast items.

    Side of rice and beans

    The very first thought in my mind after taking a bite of their carnitas Gordita was, "WOW, this is definitely worth the hype!!!" By far not only the BEST Gordita I've had but the best carnitas I've EVER had!! Period. If I could rate this place a 10 I would! The place is very clean and tidy. I was immediately greeted upon entry and the lady was very patient while taking my order because I couldn't decide. I ordered a carnitas Gordita, a quesa birria, rice and beans, and watermelon agua fresca. The crust on this Gordita was cooked to perfection not too thin not too thick - it was just right! The meat was tender and flavorful and the pork skin sets it to moon and back! OMG, outstanding! They are not stingy with the meat so I got so full so fast that I didn't even get the chance to try my quesa birria but it looked just as perfect. The ingredients tasted of high quality and everything tasted fresh and hot and made to order - what you wish every restaurant did. That rice and beans was gold. I'm very picky about my Mexican rice but this one has the perfect amount of tomato flavors and fluffed to perfection. I finished it off with my watermelon agua Fresca which was coated with a rim of Tajin, thank you lord lol No lie guys, I promise you will not be disappointed if you tried this place. If I had one complaint is that the place looks closed. The windows and doors are covered in tints and you are unable to see inside. Anyone curious driving by may be wanting to try but unless you walk up and open the door you may think they're closed.

    Horchata

    This was the first time I've been to a dedicated carnitas taco shop, and I thoroughly enjoyed their namesake. The carnitas taco platter I got was excellent. I went with the mixed meat tacos that I believe had buche and other parts of the pig besides the typical cuts. I enjoyed the various types of textures in the taco. They were topped with pickled onions and the whole taco had nice flavor and was very moist and juicy. The rice and beans were nice as side dishes. I ordered a large horchata. It was good, but I didn't like the garnish that was on the rim of the cup. It was powdered coffee creamer or something. My main gripe was the quesabirria tacos I got. They weren't bad, just super average. The meat wasn't really tender, not enough cheese, and no real flavor. The consomme wasn't anything special either, just broth; no bits of meat or onions and cilantro. The service from the staff was excellent. The menu was mostly in Spanish but they were kind enough to go over a number of items for me and make suggestions on what to order. I'll definitely come here again. I'll just stick to the carnitas as my meat choice going forward.

    Ordered tacos dorados aka rolled tacos, a banana dessert, and a carnitas plate. My husband loved his carnitas plate, my tacos dorados were crunchy and the chicken inside was seasoned well. Don't expect the normal toppings though, they're more about using fresh vegetables along with some pickled onions. They held the dessert until we were done with our dinner and their dessert was pretty much a fried plantain with vanilla ice cream and Nutella. I wanted a different dessert, but was told that one was seasonal. The food came out after a wait, but was fresh and hot. It's a no frills place, but it has plenty of seating and the staff were friendly and checked in on us. I'd come back.

    Éstos son tres tacos de carnitas ricas, muy ricas, por cierto

    Aquí encontrarán las mejores carnitas de Las Vegas, estilo Michoacán, 100% estilo Michoacán, muy ricas y deliciosas muy buen servicio al cliente Las tortillas hechas a mano, es lo mejor

    The BEST Horchata ever!
    Nikki H.

    I went there cause of a post that showcased their chilaquiles. They were very delicious and freshly made carnitas were excellent Now this place has THE BEST HORCHATA I HAVE EVER TRIED IN MY whole EXISTENCE they get a 10 out of 10 for that heavenly Horchata. Definitely try the Horchata with ur chilaquiles.

    If your around the area and craving good Mexican food then Carnitas Don Claudio is the spot. Had a buche taco, carnitas taco and also the carnitas fries. The meat was really flavorful. Had a bite of the asada sope and it was also very good. The fries were really good as well, those should be eaten as soon as they come out. Sure are coming back to try more of their dishes

The only thing you…read morewon't see is pollo (chicken), but if its meat from a cow or pig, it's probably available. A word of warning, despite offering street tacos, this isn't really "fast" food, I stood in line for nearly an hour at lunchtime on a Friday. Layout and ordering can be confusing but start by finding a tray, if they are busy, there nay not be any at the counter. As you enter, scan the menu. If you are alone, Get in the line that matches most of what you w nt. Better still if you are not alone is the divide and conquer system, each person getting in line for a meat you want. If alone, you can order mire than one, you just order that lines meat, say lengua tacos, then let them know you also want however many of whatever meat/what, say 3 adobado tacos. You do NOT pay at the counter instead weaving your way back toward the register where you pay.

Its usually still busy late into the night because of all the night owls. My husband and I only come to eat after the clubs or a night out because its a vibe. Yes lines can be long, but never too long where we ever walk out. We always get Tripa and Lengua tacos with everything on them. I don't have much experience in other taco places to compare, but I only go to places that offer more than asada. Is the place amazing good? Not sure to say but I will say if you like soft and tender lengua and crispy, semi fatty tripa then I like it best here so far. Is it overhyped? Maybe, but I think they're good.

Try the Mexican corn appetizer with it's crumbly cotija cheese, chili, lime, and mayo on top of charred corn kernels. It's in 'esquites' form, which means it's not left on the cob like 'elote' is. Their specialty, nachos, are also well seasoned and the chips are freshly made on site. What drew me in to this restaurant was a past appearance on the Maury Povich Show, where I took a paternity test for someone who claimed she was my daughter. The end result? I was cleared, so Maury pointed at me while telling her that he's "Not yo' daddy." And so I visit Nacho Daddy on occasion, strictly for celebratory reasons. Birria nachos are excellent, made with a high quality shredded beef with pickled onion, cilantro, sour cream, cheese, and lime on top of a stack of chips. Having birria without consommé was new, but this one didn't really need it with all the flavors jumping out. Another recommendation is the cheeseburger nacho, an Americanized version with ground beef, bacon, cheddar, jack, queso, onions, tomato, and lettuce. The 'mini nachos' are perfectly sized for a light meal but if you're hungry, get the full size order which is huge and shareable. This location has been in business for 17 years now and there's plenty of seating in a nice, clean atmosphere.

    Title: The Best Birria I've Had... Period!…read more (5/5 stars) If you're a birria lover, stop what you're doing and head to Birria Bite. This place may be a small tavern-style spot with just enough seating, but don't let the size fool you. The moment you walk in, the aroma of the birria comes rolling out of the kitchen like a raging bull--it lets you know you're in the right place! They offer both goat and beef birria, and the flavor is absolutely incredible. I've only been eating birria for about five years, but in that time I've made it a mission to try it everywhere I travel. I've had birria from Las Vegas, California, Nebraska, Florida, and Texas, and I can honestly say Birria Bite is hands down the best I've had. I always order the Quesabirria Combo, and it never disappoints. The consommé is rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned--good enough to sip on by itself. And even though it's outside my normal diet, I can't leave without getting the Piña pineapple drink. It's sweet, refreshing, and absolutely fire. The hospitality is always A1, the staff makes you feel welcome every visit, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and portions you receive. This is one of those hidden gems you'll keep coming back to. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out. Don't meet me there... beat me there... or be square!
