" This was my first visit and I was not disappointed! The carnitas tacos were delicious and packed full of flavor, just like my abuela used to make. The staff was attentive, and I felt welcomed the moment I walked in. The collocation of flavors is really impressive. I can’t wait to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time I tried the food truck, I was blown away! Now at the brick-and-mortar, the experience has only gotten better. The ambiance is lovely, with a patio setup. I opted for the torta and was not disappointed—it was packed with flavor and portioned well. Staff was polite, too. Look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" It’s been a while since I found such an authentic place! The tortas and tacos were a real treat and felt just like traditional home-cooked meals. I liked that I could pick the cuts I wanted, but I did notice that when it gets busy, the wait can be long. But trust me, it’s worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" I celebrated a family gathering here, and it was a hit. The carnitas are genuinely the best I’ve had and come in generous portions—everyone left satisfied! The atmosphere is casual yet perfect for families. My only complaint? I wish they had more drink options. But overall, I’m thrilled we picked Carnitas Don Raúl for our gathering. Will return for sure! " (*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.
