" I came on a busy Saturday, and while I had to wait a little, I can confirm that it was worth it! The carnitas I ordered were delicious—moist and full of flavor, they are true to their Michoacán roots. Their handmade tortillas are fantastic too! I managed to grab some fresh salsas which enhanced the entire meal experience. However, the seating inside is quite limited. I would highly recommend trying this place out for a taste of authentic Mexican carnitas. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I come here, I leave satisfied! It’s hard to find a place that offers not only great flavors but also an authentic experience. I tried the carnitas and the tacos, and they were both fabulous! The downside? An unpredictable schedule means I've been turned away more than once. Nevertheless, I keep coming back for more! Their carnitas are worth the hassle. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a fan of authentic Mexican cuisine, I have traveled extensively across the country searching for the best carnitas. Carnitas Mi Niño stands out for its incredible selection of traditional dishes, particularly their carnitas, which boast an exceptional depth of flavor. My only issue is their inconsistent availability. I’ve dropped by numerous times only to find them closed well before their advertised hours. A solid recommendation for anyone looking for an authentic experience, just be sure to call ahead! " (*Curated Review*)

" Food is always good and fresh, but I've had my frustrating moments due to the staff not being the friendliest. The employees seem to be always in a rush. Despite that, the carnitas are some of the best I've tasted. Make sure you go earlier in the day to get the best selection. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, you won't be disappointed! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taste-wise, Carnitas Mi Niño absolutely delivers! The authentic flavors left me craving more. I tried the combination plate, and it was filled with a generous serving. However, there was a strange smell lingering in the air that really detracted from the overall experience. Despite that, I'll be back for sure—it’s a wonderful find for anyone who loves their food authentic. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having tried Mexicans places all over the valley, I can confidently say Carnitas Mi Niño serves some of the best carnitas around. The flavors are authentic, and the ambiance is a straightforward no-frills setup, which I personally like. The location can be a bit difficult to find if you aren’t familiar, but well worth the effort. I recommend this place to all my friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't express how much I love Carnitas Mi Niño! The carne is always fresh and bursting with flavor. I made the mistake of going late one time and they were sold out. Make sure you arrive early to avoid disappointment because this place is popular for a reason! The handmade tortillas really elevate the whole meal. Great service and value for the portions you're getting! Always my top choice when I crave authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)
