This is a really good spot. We've had it numerous times, but yesterday, after everyone was sick of…read moreturkey, we ventured into a blizzard to Carnitas Don Alfredo. While the sides are kind of pricey for what they are, the tortas and burritos are quite good and reasonably priced. I particularly like the chicken torta - nice add with avocado. You can make it spicier with a salsa or hot sauce but it's great just how it is as well. The burrito is a good size with shredded chicken which is juicy and really doesn't need anything (but guacamole never hurts). Quick but it closes on the early side some days so if you're looking for dinner, come early before they close. This location is basically attached to a gas station - but don't be alarmed - it's good.

We started out with guacamole ( which was was little lime forward, but good) then we ordered the chicken enchiladas verde and the Chimichangas (one steak , one chicken). TBH I am usually disappointed by steak anything lately (often times grisly or tough), but the steak here was tender and had a nice smoky char, while the chicken was moist. They also gave a generous dollop of sour cream and guac on each perfectly fried chimichanga. The horchata was also very good. Perfect balance of sweet and cinnamony - without overpowering. Service was attentive and friendly. We'll be back!

Not necessarily the restaurants fault, but one of those winter only extra doors would have helped greatly. I had two tacos, the Gringo and the Chorizo, with rice and beans. The Gringo had great flavor as did the Chorizo, which was spicy, but neither were served "hot" they were warm at best. My friend had one pork and one chicken tamale, also with rice and beans. The flavor for each tamale was amazing, but again the food was not hot. That's a problem. Cute interior, nice small bar set off to the side which I didn't notice until I went to the bathroom.

The dining area is spacious with plenty of seating for larger groups. Service is good, could be a bit quicker, but overall solid. When I have gone they have been limited to 1 waitress but that has been during the day in the middle of the week. The food is excellent, with generous portions. I mainly come here for the gorditas, they're bigger than at most places and packed with filling. The salsas are great, and if you are Latino you know that a salsa can make a dish. Overall, I give El Duranguito a strong 5/5!

As a party of two, we choose the high top closest to the wall. Our server did come over right away for the initial drink and appetizer orders to where we got a margarita, horchata and chips and guacamole. Everything was good at this point, drinks were tasty and guac was fresh but the chips were very salty. We requested another basket and asked for less or no salt and she said that they're all the same. Bummer. For mains I got two quesadillas (one chicken and one cheese) and a side of beans. My friend got 1 chicken and 2 steak tacos. We also ordered an elote to split. The food came out fast but it was cold. Cold like the cheese in the quesadilla wasn't melted, the chicken on the chicken quesadilla was lukewarm at best and the elote just had a plop of mayo on top that didn't melt in because it too was cold. I sent my quesadillas back to be remade and they were much better the second time around. My friend's tacos were all thankfully hot, but she did not like the steak. She described it as being very tough and only ate one of the two that she ordered. She said it was like they just served her what was left of a steak. After the food was delivered our waitress never came back. Since it's a small space we got to observe the staff. The chefs talked to the waitresses over the window counter while the waitresses drank their iced coffees, applied lip gloss, played on their phones, chatted it up etc but never came to check on the two tables of customers dining. We had to ask someone to bring our bill. Overall this place has decent reviews and I see the potential but with all of the options in the area it's not someplace I'd likely return to or recommend based on this experience.

The tacos were decent, I did a poblano and a nopales, the corn sauce on the poblano was a little much, but the tortillas were flavorful and held up to the variety of fillings stuffed into each one.
