" I had mixed feelings after my visit last week. While the food is undeniably delicious, especially the carnitas tacos, I felt my experience was dampened by a long wait. The staff were friendly, but it took a while to get my order. Still, I can't deny the food was well worth it! I might just time my visit better next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fulfilling lunch at Carnitas Don Raúl. The tacos were seasoned excellently, and I was pleased with the portions. Although it was lunchtime and quite busy, we didn’t have to wait long for our order. The only downside was the seating, which felt a bit limited. However, the customer service was still commendable, making it all a worthwhile experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're not eating at Carnitas Don Raúl, are you even trying to experience true carnitas? Their flavors simply transport you to Mexico. I loved choosing the cuts on my carnitas tacos, and the freshness was evident in every bite. It reminded me of family gatherings back home. Can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this spot after hearing so much about it. While the carnitas were good, the service left something to be desired. The atmosphere was casual and felt homely, but my order took longer than expected. Nevertheless, the flavors in the food were satisfying enough that I'd likely give it another try.
