They packed the salsa in little baggies, which made me laugh, but I just poked a hole in each one and squirted salsa out when I wanted it. Worked great. I guess one thing I'd have asked for is a few more lime wedges. I ordered a carnitas torta, a carnitas quesadilla, a chicharrones taco, and meat rolled tacos. Everything was delicious, but my absolute favorite item was the chicharrones taco. The crispy outside of the pork and the soft juicy inside was incredible. I was especially pumped that the torta did not arrive soggy. It tasted amazing. I think my least favorite item was the rolled tacos - they weren't bad, there was just a lot more of the thick crisp outside than there was filling. All in all, highly recommend stopping by this place! I hear they're cash only in person.

For a second time my employer hired Carnitas Express for an employee appreciation lunch and for a second time, Carnitas Express delivered. I had the carnitas, carne asada and quesabirria tacos. All three were money, but the birria was the winner. So tender and juicy with melty cheese. Delicious and thick corn tortillas to carry the weight. Excellent! There was enough leftover that I was able to take a bunch home to share with my wife and have meals all weekend long. Easy 5-stars for Carnitas Express.

I stopped by and picked up a carnitas burrito and asked them to add avocado: an ingredient that should come with the burrito on default. They put a lot of tasty chopped carnitas in the burrito. They were a little on the dry side, so I would add a little broth to them as they are being tossed on the hot griddle. The burrito also came with chopped white onions and cilantro. They give you hot sauces on the side, grilled and pickled onions, and a couple of wedges of lime. Good Stuff indeed. The hot sauce were good and they both offered a mild heat but lots of good flavor. The lady and gent in the food truck were both very nice. The burrito cost $8 and some change. They charged me extra for the avocado, so the burrito came out to $10 even. I would of liked more avocado for the price.

I came in for lunch and ordered a pair of chicken enchiladas at $3.05 each and a carne asada vampiro for $5. The enchiladas were very nice. They were not overly sauced but came with simple tasty tender white chicken, topped shredded lettuce, cabbage, and red cabbage. I loved the use of the Mexican cheese on top and the drizzle of crema. The texture of the lightly fried corn tortillas were just right. The vampiro, similar to a sope was very good, too. The masa or corn dough is house made and was very good. It came with toasted Monterrey cheese, tender carne asada, and topped with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, Mexican cheese, and tasty cream. This one went very well with the house table hot sauce on the table, especially the red one. The hospitality was genuinely friendly and welcoming. It felt like, "mi casa es tu casa." I can tell that the family who own and run this place are very proud of what they offer. *Important! They offer a good size parking lot in the back of the restaurant!

I ran into them at 13 Point Brewery over in Lemon Grove, and I ordered two fish tacos made on the hot griddle for $4.75 each. The battered and fried fish tacos are $4.00 each as of May 10th when I visited. The tacos were quite good. I would recommend, if at all possible, that they double up on the corn tortillas on these particular tacos so the ingredients hold up better inside the taco. On a the very good side, the tacos were delicious. The fish was very well prepared. It was succulent and very well seasoned, as a result tasty and good eating. I loved that the tacos also came with chopped mango and avocado. They were a great addition. All the ingredients were fresh and tasty. I particularly liked the chipotle mayo.

My daughter ordered the carne asada burrito and absolutely loved it! Of course, we also had to get the onion rings because I'm a huge onion-ring fan--and they did not disappoint. They were perfectly crunchy, not oily, and tasted even better with their delicious chipotle sauce. Prices are a little on the higher side, but with the economy these days, that wasn't much of a surprise. The food was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying, and I would definitely recommend giving this place a try. We'll be back! Sorry...no photos we ate it too quick!

I asked a woman if she had been there before but she didn't understand much English. I hesitated for a bit and then just went for it: "Cuantas tortillas in el chico?" She gestured a size with her hands which made me so happy that my poor Spanish skills passed the test. The sign i indicated that were media and grande sizes as well. I think my small bag had about 25 tortillas for a minuscule $2.15, cash only. These tortillas were better than any other corn tortilla I've purchased from the supermarket. They were soft without breaking apart. However, they didn't have that chewy texture that some restaurant handmade tortillas have. And, the ones here were very uniform in size. The quality was great for the price.
