The carnitas were melt-in-your-mouth tender, and you could taste the authentic spices in every bite. The handmade tortillas were fresh, and honestly, they were the best I've had in a long time. We also enjoyed the Al Pastor and were thrilled with how fresh it tasted. The only downside was the wait time as it was quite busy when we arrived, but the food definitely made it worth it!
