" Hands down, the best carnitas I have ever tasted! I’ve had authentic Mexican food all around the country, and this place truly serves up high-quality dishes. The chicharrón was fresh and crunchy, adding a delightful texture to the meal. Service was pleasant, and although there was a line, it moved quickly. Every mouthful transports you to Michoacan. I can’t wait to make this my regular spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here as a part of my list to try out new restaurants in the area. The carnitas were unlike anything I’ve had before—not overly greasy, full of flavor, and just the right amount of tenderness. The service was quick, and despite it being very busy, they managed to keep a positive attitude. The total experience left me very satisfied—a strong recommendation for those craving genuine Michoacan food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I completely agree with the praises for this restaurant. I feel like it is a true representation of what one might find in Mexico. The carnitas were outstanding, served with flavorful tortillas. I would recommend the chicharrón on the side as well. The ambiance is humble, and the service was friendly. Just be prepared for possible long wait times, as this place is worth it. You won’t regret stopping by! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had some reservations before trying this place despite the excellent reviews. But after one visit, I was sold! The flavor of the carnitas was superb, and the tortillas were the perfect accompaniment. Only downside, the dining space can feel a bit cramped when they're busy. Nonetheless, the menu has enough variety to keep you coming back for more. This is definitely a place food lovers must visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m not easily impressed when it comes to Mexican food, but this place has me raving! I had the carnitas plate, which came with a delightful array of sides. They were all generous portions, at a fraction of what I expected to pay! It’s definitely an unassuming place, but as soon as you try the food, you’ll agree it ranks right up there with the best. Absolutely, a must-try for food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)
