" My first time at Carnitas Michoacan Mi Rey was fantastic! I ordered tacos with carnitas, and they were some of the best I've ever had. The atmosphere is alive; you feel the energy the moment you walk in. It's a bit of a hole-in-the-wall, but that adds to its charm. The service was a tad slow, but the food was worth the wait. Loved the handmade tortillas. I will absolutely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Two friends recommended this restaurant, and I went in with high hopes. While I can say the carnitas live up to the hype, the service left me frustrated. It took too long to get our food, and they seemed to forget one of our orders. The food quality speaks for itself, but I wish the service matched it. It puts a sour note on the experience. I might try again to see if their service improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" The tastiest carnitas ever! I've been to many Mexican restaurants, but none compare to this spot. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and the homemade tortillas complemented the meats perfectly. I always leave feeling fully satisfied without breaking the bank. The staff, though busy during peak times, was friendly and responsive. I can't wait to return next week and try more items from the menu. Definitely adding this gem to my regular rotation! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed after high expectations! The carnitas were good, but the service was very lacking. The wait time was absurdly long, and for a casual place, they seemed overwhelmed. The decor is simple, but it's a cozy spot with a lot of potential. If they could just iron out the service issues, it would be a great place for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" The carnitas here are simply the best. They are incredibly tasty, and I love the tortillas—they make everything taste even better. I especially appreciate how busy it gets; it shows how good the food is. The staff tries hard to keep up with orders, and they are friendly every time. Overall, it’s one of my favorite places to eat. " (*Curated Review*)

" The hype around this place led me to try it, and while the carnitas were good, the menudo left something to be desired. It was not as flavorful as I had hoped. However, the handmade tortillas are a great addition, transforming any meal into something special. The staff was friendly, and the ambiance was comfortable. I would recommend sticking to the carnitas for a solid meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Authenticity is what you get here! Every dish brings back fond memories of family gatherings back in Mexico. I absolutely love their carnitas, and the homemade tortillas elevate the experience. I can honestly say it’s one of the best Mexican spots I've been to in a long time. I urge anyone who appreciates true cuisine to give it a shot! " (*Curated Review*)
