" If you’re looking for carnitas with authentic flavor, this is your place! I've been going for years and the quality remains consistent. It does get packed on weekends, so I recommend going early. Otherwise, you might miss out on their delicious offerings. Overall, a great spot for real Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I always get my carnitas from here. It’s just the best! The flavor is rich, and every time I take a bite, it reminds me of my grandmother's cooking. The service has always been quick and friendly. It does get crowded, but that just shows how good it is. I’ll keep coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Carnitas El Choche one rainy afternoon. I had heard a lot about their famous carnitas, and I was eager to try them. Upon entering, I could smell the inviting aroma of slow-cooked pork, and it made my mouth water instantly. I ordered a plate of carnitas and a side of chicharrón. To my delight, it was everything I had hoped for. The meat was tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The chicharrón was crispy and just the right accompaniment. The only downside was the limited seating, but that's expected for a takeout-focused spot. Overall, I left very satisfied and definitely plan to return for more soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're hunting for true Mexican carnitas, look no further than Carnitas El Choche! I visited this place for the first time last Saturday, and it blew me away. The pork was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. I got both the carnitas and the buche tacos, and let me tell you—it didn't disappoint! The prices were reasonable, and although it was quite busy, the wait was well worth it. The atmosphere is casual, and most folks were taking their meals to go. I can't wait to come back and try the brain tacos that I heard so much about! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been frequenting El Choche for years, and it never ceases to amaze me! The owners are incredibly welcoming, making you feel like part of the family. Their carnitas have this exquisite flavor that reminds me of home-cooked meals from my childhood. I usually get my tacos with some salsa on top, and it just elevates the dish to another level. The key is to arrive early because they often sell out before noon. Plus, it's an added bonus that I can grab some to take home for later! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was a bit skeptical at first, but after my first bite of the carnitas, I was sold! This place does an incredible job at keeping that authentic taste alive. It’s a small place, which makes it cozy, but prepare for a busy visit on weekends! Worth every cent! " (*Curated Review*)

" Carnitas El Choche is my go-to for carnitas! The flavor is always on point, and the service is super friendly. I always feel welcomed when I walk in. The taco selection is also impressive; I think the buche and chicharrón are some of my favorites! Perfect for takeout on a busy day. " (*Curated Review*)
