" Although it’s been a while since my last visit, the memory of Diego's remains vivid. Their carnitas are simply the best! The flavors burst in your mouth, and their service is always welcoming. I remember first coming here years ago, and it's still a staple for authentic Mexican flavors in Houston. " (*Curated Review*)

" While my last visit had some hits and misses, I still think highly of Diego's. The carnitas flavor was good as usual, but I found the service lacking compared to previous experiences. It’s worth a visit if you’re craving carnitas, but ensure it's not during peak hours for best service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Diego’s never ceases to amaze me with their consistency and authentic flavor. Each time I visit, the carnitas taste fresh and delightful! When hosting friends at home, I always consider catering from Diego's because I know it will impress them greatly. Their attention to taste is commendable. " (*Curated Review*)

" Diego's offers an authentic taste of Mexico, especially in their carnitas. I appreciate the range of options and different cuts. The flavor is consistently great, although there might be a slight wait during busy hours. Overall, it’s satisfying and I always leave feeling happy! " (*Curated Review*)

" After living in Texas for years, I can confidently say Diego's serves the best carnitas around. I adore the texture; it's perfectly crispy yet tender. The accompanying salsas add the right amount of kick! Plus, the ambiance is simply charming. Highly recommended for any food enthusiast! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit let down after my last visit. The carnitas were not as flavorful and were somewhat dry. I had to ask for extra salsa just to make it palatable. I’ll give it another try, though, because it has historically been a go-to spot for me, thanks to their past amazing dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who travels to Mexico often, Diego’s carnitas remind me of the streets of Michoacán. This spot knows how to capture flavors authentically! The staff is super helpful in guiding you through the menu. Each visit feels like rediscovering those amazing flavors that I thought I could only find in Mexico. " (*Curated Review*)
