" Carnitas Don Pedro is hands down one of the top spots for authentic carnitas in the area! The portions are more than generous and the taste is incredible. You feel the flavors and love that goes into their cooking. My only issue is the seating; it can be cramped. They’ve got a great system in place to handle the crowd, and I only wait about 15 minutes at lunch times usually. " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to Carnitas Don Pedro was memorable. The wait was worth it, very authentic! The carnitas had the right balance between tender and satisfying. Plus, I loved their homemade tortillas—they really complement the meal. However, the atmosphere is quite casual, which some may not enjoy, but to me, it made the experience even more down-to-earth. I can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)
