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 π I plan on coming back ππ
Bomb carnitas! I usually get sick from eating carnitas but never here! And their green salsa is sooooo good!!! And, the value is on point! We got a pound of carnitas, beans, rice, tortillas, and salsas, all for $35!!!
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 β³οΈ... 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.
The food is 5 star. Every dish is delish! I'm giving it a 4 because currently the indoor dining requires you to wait in line to order your food. As opposed to having waiter or waitress service.
Excellent, authentic tasting Carnitas.
What I loved though was their rice! OMG! Perfectly made in every sense of the word. Beans in a small bowl, salad on the side. The only thing missing was home made tortillas. That would of been the icing on the cake.
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.
