Excellent choice of meats and you can buy the carnitas by the pound. They also have birria and menudo at 15.99 for a large. Hand made tortillas are also made to order. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Carnitas El Pareja 2 - Menu - Mexican Near Me - Highland, California

AMAZING ! Food came out pretty quick and it was really good hot and served like it was from my grandma at home :) Everytime we made eye contact with staff it wasn't awkward and they didn't walk off (like a regular restaurant if you know you know) Everytime we made eye contact they were sure to ask if we were good and if we needed anything ! 10/10 would recommend everytime . Thanks for having us for lunch ! read more

Very clean dinner. Homemade tortillas. Pozole is fire. Tortas haogadas are bomb. Service is outstanding. These is one of Highlands/Redlands hidden gems need to try. I bring my family to eat at least 3 ton4 times a week. Identical to none! read more

Carnitas El Pareja 2 - Fresh and fast Agua de pina is fire - Mexican Near Me - Highland, California

Their menudo is AMAZING! After having it there, I can not go anywhere else for this dish. The service is great, the lady that helped me was nice to give me extra serving of menudo because I did not know what patas was until I got there and she just threw it in for me. The only concern is that it was kind of a warm day and I did not think they had their AC on in the restaurant which I didn't care since I was getting to-go. read more

Just eat here. You won't regret it. The only complaint I would have is that I ate so much I had to take my belt off walking to my truck. Clean environment! Staff is always great, and treats my kids and family great. read more

Came here with my boyfriend and we really liked the food. They have handmade tortillas that you can upgrade to. The asada was really good and chicken. I recommend ordering an agua fresca along with your meal :) the green salsa was flavorful and not super spicy. I really appreciate that they gave me a habanero salsa to try. If you like spicy go with habanero. I recently moved to this area. I will be back! Gracias read more

Carnitas El Pareja 2 - Handmade tortillas. Big tacos. Street style size also available! - Mexican Near Me - Highland, California

I've lived in the area for a few years and have been having a hard time finding a Mexican place that I truly like. I finally decided to try this place out since it's the closest to me and I'm not sure why I waited so long because it's so good! Service was great and place is clean. I ordered a carne asada wet burrito with half green and half red sauce. Warning: the red sauce is pretty spicy compared to other wet burritos I've had in the past! I will definitely come here again. read more

I was really rooting for this family owned business but man this food is trash... its a shame because the owner and his sister are cool people. They just need some better recipes, a little bit more flavor. Bland carne asada and the birria had no flavor at all. Man. read more

Fire a*** carnitas !!!! Idk if they are the same as Fontana but let me tell you !!!! Just as amazing service is great very attentive. Surtido tacos are the best lots of lime and salt !!!! Amazing place read more

Tacos were amazing with handmade tortillas. You can really taste the difference. All sauces were also outstanding. I'm really big on spice, and their spiciest sauce did not disappoint. Burritos were also delicious. Everything tastes authentic and has so much cultural flavor. The only thing that I wasn't too excited about was the price. My wife and I each got a burrito ,also 3 tacos to split, and 2 mexican cokes; The total came out to $52, which is a little steep for that amount of food. The authentic taste of the food and the portions will have you coming back, we will definitely be coming back. read more

Business hours show that they close at 7pm everyday. Show up at 6:30pm-normal dinner time for most people and they're closed.

I feel bad eating 5 stars because this place deserves more than that! Great people and amazing food! read more

Carnitas El Pareja 2 - Carnitas plate beans and rice, handmade flour tortillas - Mexican Near Me - Highland, California

Excellent food and excellent service! Great value for the price. I stop every time I'm in Highland. Two thumbs up!

Worst ever, don't bother!!! Food is low quality, service is horrible and I wouldn't recommend it at all.

Service great portions not for a big guy , had decent flavor could of had meat more tender but overall a 3 out of five and ambiance was not overly crowded or Loud read more

Great fresh food and super kind and professional people! The place is clean and they play great music

Let's start off with the excellent customer service they provide. The entire time from the moment you walk in, until you leave, their focus is you. The restaurant is clean and clutter-free unlike many other places, good music, nice area. The food is delicious, homemade tortillas to order, portions are huge, and the taste of the food can take you back to grandma's house. I wish I could give this place 10 stars, We went there on a Wednesday and went back Friday. read more

This place is 100% authentic, fresh and delicious. We love their wet carne asada burritos, the carnitas, tacos dorados (crispy potato tacos topped with lettuce, cotija and crema), tortas and pastor street tacos. I'm most impressed with the quality of meat they use, and their homemade green and red salsas are delicious! They close at 7 pm so we often call in our order and take it to go. read more

Best Mexican restaurant in the ie ever my homie Caesar had good service and hooked me up!

Lástima de comida que en realidad está muy rica, PERO pongan ATENCIÓN !!!!! porque no se lavan las manos, cobran y sirven y tocan comida es falta de ética.!!!!! Hasta hacen las tortillas después de cobrar sin lavarse las manos la doña que usualmente está ahí!!! read more

Their hours say they are open 9-7 on Saturday. It's 5;45 and they are closed. I guess they don't want my business and good review.

This review is long overdue, but I hope the owners have made changes. My wife and I went soon after they opened. The atmosphere was lively, however, the staff were less than helpful and only spoke in Spanish. When you ask a question on something they looked at you puzzled, then ignored us and talked to other workers and then were looked at and laughed at. We let that go, but when we asked about a couple of menu items, they said that they were out. We only knew this because somebody told us they were saying in line behind us. Needless to say it was not a positive experience and we haven't been back since. Heard of similar experiences and it's sad to see a place coming to your neighborhood where we are more than interested in having a new option for Mexican food, but to be laughed at and have poor service is not a way to make business in my opinion. There's more likely only two options here. Hopefully they'll learn from the reviews and make some changes, or they're going to go out of business. read more

I must said the food and the serves was beyond excellent. 100% authentic Quiroga style carnitas. My first time but no the last I definitely recommend it Thank you for providing excellent service read more

We had no idea what to expect. The food is authentic and very tasty! It is very clean and the employees are friendly. They speak better Spanish than English, but the food is the real deal. We will be back.... Come check it out and support this great neighborhood business. read more

Customer service could've been better. Food was ok will be going back to see if I was wrong.

Came back after I found out about there new ownership and wow what a difference!! The food was delicious and seasoned. The service was great, the new family ownership are genuinely such kind people. The ambiance is easy going and family oriented! read more

The burrito mojado was delicious and with the friendly service you feel right at home.

My sister and I stopped in on 4/11/21. Although their menu states that there is only carnitas, buche, cuero,costilla and chicarron, if you ask they also have al pastor and chicken. I've seen in their pictures that they "used to" offer carne asada? Not sure if they just ran out of it today or not by 1pm. I ordered 1 carnitas, 1 al pastor, and 2 costilla. The meat on all the tacos were relatively tender. The al pastor was overly salty for my taste. read more

Carnitas El Pareja 2 - Carnitas, al pastor - Mexican Near Me - Highland, California

Well, their menu states that they sell carne by the pound, but they refused to sell it when i came to pick it up. The birria was lacking... lacking meat. For $13 ($14.50 after tax and extra charge for using a credit card - CA Civil code 1748.1), I expected more than a few pieces of stringy chewey roast. It was enough to make 3 small tacos, but the meat was hard to eat without a knife. The canister was mostly caldo which was not very flavorful. I really wanted to love this place... but it's fallen from grace in my book. 3 stars I'm giving a sympathy star because i want it to stay in business. We don't need another empty business in that location. read more

New Mexican place with high quality food. I highly recommend the asada burrito. Their red sauce has a nice kick. Support this local spot! Hours are limited due to COVID but they have plans on extending the hours. read more

If you are craving your mom's food.. this is the place! Great burritos. Had the carne asada ..with green salsa.

I have been here about 4-5 different times now. Every time I have been the staff has been friendly, and kind. On my first trip I asked about the food on their line, and the man who helped gave a quick run down much of their food. I love the carnitas here, it seems to me everyone has their own variation of this dish. I always order the carnitas burrito, which every single time has been consistent and delicious. This location has been surprisingly busy on the weekend with families enjoying the excellent food. I wouldn't hesitate to bring my family here. read more

The close whenever they feel like it. The last 2 times I've tried to eat here its been closed. Their hours say 7:30. But its currently 4:00pm and they're already closed. Very unprofessional. read more

I stopped by because I work in the area and I was not disappointed! This will definitely become a regular spot for me to come have lunch. The service was amazing! They had my food ready for me super quick! I will definitely be coming back :) read more

There aren't too many Mexican restaurants in this area but this one has got the flavor they got a great menu and they give you plenty of food read more

The food was great, I had the carnitas tacos and the salsa was authentic with fresh onion and cilantro. Fortunately I speak Spanish and I spoke to the employee (a nephew) as it was a little slow when I went, they're under new ownership and it's only been a few months under the new owners. So the reviews of bad service or food from several months ago are outdated. This is a family owned restaurant that I feel takes pride in their work and you can see it in how clean it is. I will be back to keep exploring the menu read more

Tried this place for the first time today and was not disappointed they have a great variety of meats and you definitely feel like you're eating just about as authentic of mexican food as you can get in highland lol, added some camp scoville seasoning to spice it up, overall great experience go support small business! read more

This place was so good, I see a lot reviews talking about the hours, but I think its just because they aren't very busy. I got a BRC burrito wet style, and it was genuinely one of the best burritos I've ever had in my life. The tortilla was so fresh and fluffy, it was a perfect bean to cheese and rice ratio, and the salsa was amazing. It was cute inside, and the customer service was great. The cook came out and asked us our preferences on certain things, and the cashier helped us pick out what we wanted. I only paid $8 for a delicious big burrito and a coke. I crave it all the time now. So amazing!! read more
