" Unfortunately, my experience was not as great as I'd hoped. I found the food lacked authentic flavors; it felt more like a chain Hispanic restaurant. The pork was dried out and the service was lackluster. While the environment was clean and the staff friendly, it's not enough for me to return, given the mediocre food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Stumbled upon this place while looking for lunch and boy am I glad I did! Wonderful authentic vibes, the food was full of flavor, and the homemade tortillas are a must-try. The service was genuinely warm too, which made the experience all the more enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)

" The dining experience was quite pleasant, the atmosphere was inviting, and the salsa was a great start to the meal. While I would say the food tasted good, it was not as spicy or flavorful as I had hoped. I tried their chilaquiles, and while they were decent, I’ve had better elsewhere. Definitely a solid option, but not my top pick. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Carnitas, the food never fails to satisfy. The authentic flavors pair beautifully with the fresh homemade tortillas. My only complaint is that sometimes the portions can be a bit smaller than I’d prefer, but the delicious taste makes up for it. Their service is above par, and the atmosphere is welcoming. " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I were excited to try out this restaurant, but the food didn’t live up to the hype. The rice was bland, and the meat didn’t have enough flavor. There are better Mexican restaurant options nearby. " (*Curated Review*)

" The service was quick, but I found the food average at best. The chicharron was too tough, and the beans had little flavor. While the environment was pleasant, I don't think I'll return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a hidden gem! The tacos de carnitas were superb and paired fantastically with their homemade salsa. I absolutely loved the fresh tortillas, and the place was clean and well-maintained. Service was friendly and accommodating. I can't wait to return for more! " (*Curated Review*)
