" I was really excited to try Carnitas Los 3 Puerquitos after hearing all the hype about their carnitas. Upon my visit, I was stunned by how authentic the flavors were—just like what I had experienced during my travels in Mexico. However, the service was a different story; I noticed the staff seemed to be in a hurry and borderline rude. I ordered a mix of tacos and was amazed at the size and portion when they arrived. Overall, they need to work on service, but I would definitely recommend for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the best experience at Carnitas Los 3 Puerquitos today. The food was fresh and reminded me so much of the carnitas I had from my grandmother’s kitchen. I especially loved the tacos—huge portions that filled me up completely! The only disappointment was the service; it could be improved, as the staff seemed rushed and inattentive. Overall, I’d say it was a great meal and I’ll absolutely be coming back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place and I can't believe I didn’t come here sooner! The carnitas are delicious and so authentic. They even have different cuts of meat to choose from. The pork is succulent and pairs beautifully with the fresh tortillas. It's frustrating having to ask for extra toppings for a charge, but the generous portions more than make up for it. The atmosphere is casual enough, though it can get a bit busy. Overall, highly recommend visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" On weekends, I make a ritual out of visiting Carnitas Los 3 Puerquitos. The atmosphere is somewhat busy, which is expected for a place with such amazing food. The carnitas tacos are to die for! I appreciate that they serve a hefty amount of meat and their salsa is fresh and has just the right amount of heat. Even though the line can get long, it never deters my excitement for their food! If you haven’t been, you need to stop by! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Carnitas Los 3 Puerquitos last month, expecting to indulge in some amazing tacos. While the food did live up to its reputation for authenticity, I found myself slightly disappointed with the service. The girl at the counter seemed overwhelmed and not particularly friendly. However, when it came to the tacos, let me tell you, they were BIG and packed with flavor. I especially loved the way the meat was seasoned! I guess I’ll just have to go back and hope for better service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had lunch at Carnitas Los 3 Puerquitos today, and I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered a plate of carnitas and it was delicious! They also had fresh handmade tortillas which just made it even better. I couldn't resist getting a couple of tacos with the carnitas. I only wish the service was a little better; the employee seemed overwhelmed despite the place not being too full. Overall, I would visit again for that outstanding food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t rave enough about this place! They truly know how to make carnitas. I always get the tacos, as they’re big enough to share. The meat is flavorful and juicy. It's a little regrettable that getting extra toppings requires an additional charge, but honestly, the quality of the food is worth every penny. The staff is decent, not overly friendly, but they get the job done. I appreciate the cleanliness of the place as well! " (*Curated Review*)
