    Fresh handmade corn tortillas and salsa. Their quesadillas are very good as well but pricy at around$8 each.

    Best torta ahogada in the iE. Carnitas is fresh and delicious and the customer service was superior. Family oriented atmosphere & all around great food. Try the ribs when you go.

    Finally stop in to see how it was. The place was clean They did not have some of the food ready but they quickly started to work on it. The food, Carne Asada Burrito good but could use more meat. The Torta and tacos all good. The rice was just made fresh a good touch for what time it was most places would just give you what they had on hand also she made fresh Carne for the burrito. Service was really good. Will try the Carnitas next time.

    Torta ahogada was delicious. The hot sauce was spicy but had a great flavor. The food taste "homemade". Service was great. Other than the restaurant has no AC and was real hot inside, this place is awesome. Definitely will be back.

    UPDATE: It has been quite sometime since I've been here and we were in the mood for some delicious tacos and carnitas. Fortunately, this place is open until 9:30pm on Fridays and still whipping up some of the best carnitas in town. We opted for carnitas tacos de mano and burrito with carnitas, rice and beans. The food was entirely fresh and the salsa was a bit spicy, but the agua de cebada is perfect to wash it down. For me, it reminds me of chocolate milk, but it is a combination of toasted barley, cinnamon and milk. I am sure there's additional sugar because it is perfectly sweet. Next time you're up for some good tacos, please visit this family owned establishment! ------ If you're looking for handmade tortillas and fresh food, this is your place to be. My personal favorite and go to is the Carnitas as well as Agua de Cebada. My children love this place and constantly ask when we can come back. Pricing wise, it is really affordable and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

    Just had lunch here and overall It was good. Fast service. Good prices. I think the prices is what made be give it an extra star... I got 4 carnitas tacos with rice and beans for $6.50. Not bad at all. The carnitas were really good. You have to hit it with a little salt and lime though to bring out the flavor of the carnitas but overall good quality and taste. TIP: There a place in San Bernardino called Carnitas Michoacan that I think are the best carnitas in all of Inland Empire but El Pareja is the closest to me so I'll definitely be coming back soon.

    Carnitas & Chicharron Burritos

    CARNITAS EL PAREJAS #2, in East Highland. Went today (12/14) a week after they opened next to the Staters in East Highland. ABSOLUTELY the best Carnitas burrito & Chicharron Burrito I've ever had. The taste is amazing, super tender & the portions are huge! My carnitas burrito was at least a pound of meat & they make it on a line (like Chipotle's) so you get as much of anything you want for $7.99. The tortillas are huge & handmade. Can't wait to return to try other things they offer. Staff is super friendly, they give samples and treat you like you're their favorite customer. If I could give 6 stars plus, I would. Say goodbye to your favorite Mexican fast food place, this will be your new one......guaranteed.

    Carnitas are good, but damn some employees are so dirty. Grabbing cash and not washing their hands before grabbing food. Nasty

    Cocina Sinaloense is serving up authentic Sinaloa-style dishes, and you can truly taste the love in…read moreevery bite The tostadas were a standout topped with slow-cooked shredded beef that was insanely tender, plus a rich consomé on the side. With the shredded lettuce, cotija cheese, sour cream, and avocado. It had the perfect mix of freshness and crunch To drink, I tried cebada for the first time and I'm officially a fan It tasted like a mix between horchata and chocolate milk... such a good combo If you love tortilla soup, RUN don't walk ‍ it's a limited-time special! The tender chicken, crispy chips, and toppings like avocado, purple onion, cotija, and sour cream made it an absolute dream The barbacoa was super tender and flavorful, served with pasta salad, beans, and handmade tortillas everything tasted homemade and comforting The pork tamale was giving soft and tender on the inside with a slightly crispy, pan-fried outer layer. And they did not skimp on the filling...lots of meat and potatoes The machaca had so much flavor I loved the veggies and potatoes, paired with beans and rice. It was hearty and satisfying The ceviche was bright, fresh, and citrusy right up my alley! I would've loved a little more spice, but the homemade tostadas took it to another level Quesabirria tacos? Always a yes cheesy, tender, flavorful meat with consomé for dipping... say less paired with cheesy beans and rice = perfection For dessert, I got the corn elote soft, sweet, and delicious. I also tried it pan-fried and it gave caramel brûlée vibes so good! This spot feels like you're eating a home-cooked meal made with love and intention Great service and ambiance. "Las cosas buenas toman tiempo" and you can definitely taste that here

    I really wanted to like this place, but I can't justify paying $17 for a regular-sized chorizo…read morebreakfast burrito with just chorizo, eggs, rice, and beans. No potatoes, no bacon, nothing that made it feel like a premium burrito. The taste was ok, flavorful, the chorizo and eggs were cooked well however it was very greasy. It was just a pretty standard breakfast burrito. Unfortunately, the price completely overshadowed the experience. For me, it just isn't worth $17. I left feeling like I paid way more than what I received, so I won't be coming back.
