Great service. Ordered a large quantity of carnitas the day before and had it ready right at opening time.
I’ve lived in Anaheim for 10 years and have been searching for a great carnitas spot the whole time. Finally, this place opened on State College and it was worth the wait! The carnitas are incredible—perfectly seasoned, moist, and not dry at all. The tacos are $5, but they are huge and packed with so much meat that the price is totally justified. You can taste the freshness and the fire in the salsas. Great customer service and a clean location. Highly recommend!
Staff was very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. The carnitas chilaquiles was outstanding. The pork was so tender and melts in your mouth.
