" I just got back from Carnitas Don Alfredo, and I'm still buzzing from the experience! If you're looking for authentic Mexican flavors, this place hits the nail on the head. The carnitas came out juicy and melted in my mouth, and the homemade tortillas complemented them perfectly. The only downside was the seating situation, as it can get tight on busy weekends. However, the friendly staff and delicious food more than made up for it. For serious Mexican food lovers, it’s a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)
