Carnitas Michoacan

Fantastic little restraunt. Full of activity and clearly a meeting place for the local community. I was warmly greeted when I walked in (in English if that's important to you lol) and after waiting for a few transactions it was my turn. I was on the hunt for pozole, but they didn't serve it today which is understandable. Pretty sure I saw they did have menudo though. So, I went with the standard, 3 carnitas tacos and a large jamaica. They ended up being massive lol. Maybe because I was starving, maybe it was the service and atmosphere, but they were honestly the best carnitas I've ever had. Truly LA NETA. Mil gracias mi amigos nuevos 💚 I plan on coming back 🙏💚

Wish the carnitas were this good back home where I'm from. Im glad for the recommendation. The place is so good many people were constantly getting take out. Love the family buisness and the staff was nice and courteous. Would love to be able to eat at least once a week... had enough for dinner as well...

It's a good thing their carnitas are so good, and the staff is super friendly, because you're in for a wait ⏳️... They're under staffed for sure, but this is true even pre-pandemic. Still, if you want the BEST carnitas in the South Bay, and the surrounding areas, come to this place Wednesday-Sunday; it's worth the wait.

We have been going to Carnitas Michoacan for years. We love the carnitas, they're fresh, soft, and oh so good! They're salsas are made fresh daily. They're chicharones (pork skin) are also awesome, they're fresh, crunchy, and delicious with the green salsa. You can dine in but we usually just order 2 to 4 pounds of carnitas to take home for the family or more for a party. They do sell out quick on busy weekends, so get there early it's worth the drive to Gilroy. We definitely recommend trying them.

As always I took my time to go all the way to Gilroy from San Jose to dine at this place. I was so disappointed in the food and service. I highly recommend the place to friends for their food and the service. I order enchiladas de pollo con Chile verde. ( Green sauce enchiladas) what they did was they folded the tortilla with the chicken in it, the salsa they you get to go they put it on top of the folded tacos and cheese on top. When the enchilada sauce supposed to be cooked and the enchiladas fried with oil. The sisters should be embarrassed to serve their lazy made Mexican food. They sold their shameless food to the wrong Mexican. The sisters should be embarrassed and ashamed to sell their Mexican food like that. I have to say I will never drive to Gilroy to eat at this place again.
