    Outside from the parking lot
    Mike T.

    I was in the neighborhood when I passed by and saw this establishment. They are located in a strip mall, so ample parking. The outside of the building gave me hole on the wall vibes so I had to check it out. The interior matches the exterior but the floors, tables, and salsa bar are all clean. I ordered 2 carnitas burritos with everything. It came to $31 and change. The cashier tells me all the salsas are located in a 2door prep station next to the counter. I lift the lid and find individually wrapped, roasted jalapeños, a red salsa, a green salsa, limes and radishes. Everything is fresh and very flavorful. After about 5 minutes my order is ready. I grab the bag and head home. I get home and unpack a bag of chips with packets of salt, and 2 giant burritos. I cut one in half and take a bite. The avocado and pico de gallo are super fresh. The meat is tender and juicy. It has a nice fresh flavor and finishes with a hint of garlic. Overall the burrito is solid, I think it needs more salt but they did give me salt packets so I can't complain. I do wish the burrito had some cheese. The salsas had nice heat the roasted jalapeño was great. I would come back and try more things.

    Amazing food! I had the burrito asada with Al pastor tacos. It's really rare to find great friendly service with good food. The meat tasted fresh ( I am very picky with red meat) and the tacos were seasoned just right. This will be my new lunch spot from now on!

    Really good Mexican food at this whole in the wall! My bf loves their nachos and I enjoy their menudo. Their tortas are also very delicious! All at reasonable prices and good portions. Parking can be tough, but it doesn't take away from the review. Great spot!

    Nasty salsa
    Patrick P.

    Bad service, over priced, rude, and nasty food!!! Do not go here. I leave a lot of reviews on YELP and always try to give each restaurant the benefit of the doubt, but this place is horrible. 2 burritos for $30??? They were cold and nasty!!! I repeat do not go here ever!!! Shut this place down!!! THE CHIPS WERE STALE!!! just go to chipotle instead!

    A "Carne Asada Super Burrito"
    Miguel S.

    My family and I have been coming to this place for over ten years for a good reason, the friendly customer service and the great food. Well that was until a couple years ago when they began to quickly increase their prices. Today was my first time there in about six months and was not expecting to buy my most expensive burrito ( The price is now higher than many Mexican dine-in chains; e.g. Acapulco and Chevy's). Though the nostalgia from my past great experiences with Carnitas Michoacan told me to go along with my purchase expecting the usual high quality burrito. I was not expecting a burrito composed almost entirely of rice, cream, and beans. Note that my burrito was supposed to be a carne asada super burrito. I'm disappointed, and considering all the other options for better burritos for almost half the price, I probably won't be going anytime soon. Note that the prices on their pictures inside the restaurant no longer reflect the actual prices of the food. Expect to pay more.

    killer torta! (this one with extra lettuce and tomato)
    David W.

    Very nice! Glad I took a chance (based on Lou R.'s review) Tacos, Burritos, Tortas, etc. Big lunch-counter style menu, I got the Asada torta. The chopped asada had a little fat, but nothing bad, and the overall flavor was fantastic! I would recommend anyone who likes traditional (not American-Style mexican) Mexican food to drop by when you are in the area. I will be going there about once a week (near my work)

    Berria! Hearty and flavorful
    Lily D.

    Sunday night cravings fulfilled! Originally we were going to order with postmates but since it was our first time trying Carnitas Michoacán we decided to drive down the street instead. Delicious delicious food and friendly staff. We ordered the Berria- flavorful and tender meat perfect comfort meal for cold nights (too bad it was almost 80degrees outside) also ordered the pastor burrito and a Care asada taco combo plate served with rice and beans. The pastor was perfect crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. We will definitely eat from Carnitas Michoacán again especially since they are on post mates. Yum!

    Nachos
    Charlie D.

    Great authentic Mexican food! I ordered the Nachos Supreme and a 3 taco plate, the total came out to about $13. Everything was fresh, seasoned to perfection, and beautifully presented. The nachos we're covered with just the right amount of beans, cheese, beef, salsa, and slices of guacamole. The Tacos were filled high but not messy, and came with a side of beans and rice. Don't let the hole in the wall look discourage you, this place has top notch food and my new favorite Mexican food spot in the valley.

    Receipt

    If I could give this place 0 stars I definitely would. This place is OVERPRICED for the quality of food you get and on top of that they still charge you $1 dollar if you are paying with a card. I ordered the taco dorado plate and let me tell you the beef has to be extremely old I'm beyond positive Taco Bell gives you fresher ingredients then this place and for half the price. So if you want to pay $17 dollars for an horchata and some crunchy tacos you could get at Taco Bell then this is the place for you. Definitely never coming back here again and would not recommend this place to anyone.

    Delicious Tacos!

    From food to customer service it's all bad. Carnitas are not freshly made and taste old.

    Horrible. It's kind of hard to mess up a burrito. Dry, old meat. Definitely not good and will not be going back.

    Great casual and fun spot to get authentic Mexican food!! This location specifically is quite large…read moreand has a ton of seating including an outdor patio. My boyfriend and I popped in without a reservation and they were able to seat us immediately. They give you complimentary chips & bean dip (it has cheese, but if you can't have cheese they'll bring you a bean dip without the cheese!). The chips are crispy and addictive. We ordered the fajitas combo which comes with steak, chicken, and shrimp. We were debating adding on another entree but our waiter honestly told us the fajitas is a large portion and is good to split amongst 2 ppl. I really appreciated that honesty, it really made me respect him & the restaurant so much more - often times, people recommend ordering way too many dishes! The fajitas came out unbelievably fast so it's great if you're hangry and impatient haha. They were sizzling so we waited a few minutes for everything to cool down. It was delicious! Sure enough, it was the perfect portion to split between the two of us. It also came with a plate of rice and beans, and a very tiny portion of salad. I would 100% come back here. The margaritas look really good too so it seems like a fun place to come with friends. Also, make sure to try out their salsa bar. They have a ton of different salsa options to eat with the chips or with your meal!

    We hadn't been here before but came due to a recommendation…read more The food and the service were excellent. However, it is so noisy inside that it is hard to have a civil conversation. I cannot coming back only because of the noise.

    Arrived Saturday just before 10am. I expected a line , but no. During our stay, I did see some…read morepeople wait maybe 10-15 mins. I didn't look inside , but likely the outside area is similar as the inside as to regards capacity. tortas very good. Moist compared to other restaurants. Chilaquiles . Super good. Only knock - the tortilla chips were already saggy by the time I got the plate. (The chilaquiles came about 10mins after my wife's tortas. ). A few minutes later (After my wife got her plate), a worker (maybe the manager?) asked what were you waiting for ? (I didn't complain) I told him , and about 5 mins later my plate came. I never saw him again. As for the tortilla chips - maybe that is their style . Big portions, I ate about half my plate. Service was above average overall. Not great. Maybe they were short staffed- idk. Didn't bother me. Parking in the lot and street. Don't think there will be a big issue.

    Saturday morning review*…read more There was alot of people waiting at 10am but within 30 mins we were called into the patio. Seated & had a question for the waiter, but she was unsure, said she'd be back with the answer and disappeared for 15-20 mins and came back with no info, she had forgot what I had asked her. It was a simple question, just asked if they still had the Birria quezadillas, she had said yes & I asked for the price becus I couldn't find it on the menu, thats when she said she'd find out the price and didn't return for a long awhile. Then when she came back she forgot and just said "they dnt sell um anymore" She seemed disconnected and so unsure. A waiter should know the menu & what is discontinued. Or at the least find out and return quickly with the info, not take long and come back having forgot to even find out. But ok, no problem we just got our drinks and the café de Olla was good. The food arrived and the rice stood out more than the Chilaquiles. The pancakes were small for the price & didnt have much flavor, once the toppings were gone the pancakes were bland. Came here becus I saw comments online, but I dont think I'd go back, there are many other places with outstanding food & service. The Mexican rice & Café de olla were the standouts of the meal. If you live nearby I could see this being a good place to enjoy a meal, but to come in from farther out isn't worth the drive.
