Our 4th visit, so obviously their food is excellent. I ordered chicken enchiladas and my friend ordered the carnitas plate. Seasoned well and portions are perfect. Everything was so delicious. Highly recommend this place. Very hospitable, friendly and clean. Hidden gem if you ask me! Should be a "go to" for those seeking delicious Mexican food. read more

Tried this spot on Door Dash then a few days later decided to come in and try out in person. Customer service was super friendly. Food was delicious. Decor is nice. Prices are fair. I like that the torta ahogada (or wet torta) has a small spicy kick to it. read more

Real Good! Food was excellent, clean, fresh, homemade tortillas, great carnitas. Very good service. Highly recommend. Family owned and you can tell that they care. A little slow on service but that's not as important as the quality read more

The staff was friendly and patient with my bf and I, as it took us a while to decide what to get. We ended up with the family pack of 4lbs mixed, chicharron and guac. The guac wasn't really like the picture, it was a thinner consistency than all mashed avocado. We ordered a large, but the container it came in seemed smaller and it was different than that on display. The chicharron was hot and fresh. I thought the rice and beans could use a little salt, but no biggie. I ordered extra curtido which was picked onions. It didn't have much flavor. The red salsa had a bitter flavor. The green salsa was ok. The carnitas itself was good. I liked the buche. It wasn't super oily. The finding area was cute and I liked the hanging decorations. It was clean, too. read more

Carnitas Purepecha - Mexican Near Me - Turlock, California

Family decided to try this restaurant based on good things we heard from friends. Very clean restaurant with excellent service. Son got the California Breakfast burrito, wife got a wet asada Burrito with green sauce (Burrito Ahogado), and I got a pound of three different types of carnita meats (Carnitas por Libra). All the dishes were well liked and VERY filling. My carnitas order came with six handmade tortillas. The carnitas I had were very moist and had a great taste. Overall, I'd rate this as another above average Mexican restaurant in town! They have special cocktail offerings, wine, and bottled beer. Small dining area, so there is only one waitress. read more

The food was so good forgot to take a picture. Super chill vibes. Friendly welcome really good service.

I'm new to town and have been missing my favorite carnitas spot from back home. I looked up this restaurant online and decided to give them a try after seeing all the great reviews. I'm happy to say they did not disappoint! The carnitas here are extremely flavorful and moist. I could not stop eating. The tortillas and salsa they serve with the carnitas (when you order carnitas by the pound) are also amazing and fresh. The staff were also welcoming, friendly, and explained everything well. This will be my new go to spot I can't wait to come back again! read more

Yelp didn't steer me wrong, the reviews are legit. The place is adorable, decor is cute. Lovely vibe. Waitress was the nicest and helpful. Food did take a bit of time but came fresh and hot, did not disappoint. We had menudo, flautas, carne asada fries and shrimp tacos. The chicharrones themselves need a review, chefs kiss! If I lived in this area I'd be a regular! read more

Absolutely delicious--Carnitas Purepecha is the best I've had so far! I haven't been to the store in person yet, but I've ordered through DoorDash multiple times and it's always spot on. I usually get the family meals and they're loaded with everything you need: soft, tender carnitas, fresh handmade tortillas, flavorful salsas, rice, and beans. The portions are generous and perfect for sharing (or having leftovers). Whether you're treating yourself or feeding the whole crew, this place is a must. Definitely my go-to for carnitas now! read more

I'm a carnita lover, especially with buché. My husband and I went by there just before closing and ordered 2 lbs of the carnita mixed with buché. Oh my goodness, it's hands down one of the best carnitas I've had as well. The meat was tender to perfection, the pork skins was gelatinous oh salty goodness, and the buché was oh so yummy tender. They even packed warmed tortillas and pickled red onions for us. This place is good. We will be going back for a dine in because I want to try out their menudo and other items on their menu. read more

Service was friendly and attentive. Ambiance is simple but nice and clean. I loved the cumbia music that was playing. I got the carnitas salad bowl to go and it was delicious! Well balanced, flavorful, and a significant portion that left me happy and full. I had a michelada with Pacifico while I waited. The michelada was simple but good. Came in a large glass with a shrimp, and slice of Orange and chamoy over the top. I was also offered free chips and salsa which I gladly accepted. Great for a quick lunch meal and the carnitas are delicious. read more

So I called to ask about the fee on door dash. And instead of trying to solve the problem, the owner hung up on me. And when I called back, they told me my name and address in a threatening way. This isn't a good place to be. Don't give them your money. They're scum. And as a P.S. after reading the comments.. they write/pay for their reviews on yelp.... so sad.... read more

Mom and Pop place with a little higher ambience than most such places. Sitting in the dining area you notice that thought went into every detail of this restaurant (cloth napkins!). The owners have been turning out their specialty carnitas for years and everything down to the presentation is top notch yet still reasonably priced. You don't have to save room for the flan your stomach will make room when you see it. read more

Good chorizo breakfast burrito. Will have it again. Cute place nice staff. Clean bathroom.

The person waiting on us had a very limited understanding of English. The food was very subpar for the area.

Tried this place for the first time today. It was amazing! I got my food to go but you could tell the service was excellent. Super friendly. It was important to them to get the order right. The carnitas were some of the best I've had. The homemade tortillas are outstanding! I also had the chicharrones tacos. They are HUGE. Very good as well! read more

I do not recommend. Meat is dry orders to go are different from orders eating in.Service person was very nice. I just don't recommend because all they sell is Carnitas and they should be dry they should have more flavor and be most. Disappointment. read more

I compare this place to a taco truck not a four star restaurant. As such, it is very good. Pros: fish tacos delicious, carnitas delicious, and corn tortillas tasty. Cons: $31 for two dishes, asked to make sure there were salsas, said yea but only one. Also when ordering online they add $1 service charge and default to a 20% tip. Menu mostly pork. If you are looking a quick bite and are in a hurry. This is a good option. Should like pork or fish. read more
