Got the carnitas tacos with red sauce and a Mexican coke. Perfect meal after a long hike.

The best carnitas in Richmond ca

I went by here earlier this week at lunch time and it was deserted! Uh oh. Since I really liked the people who worked here, especially the lady who I think was the cook owner. I called the number listed here on yelp and it was disconnected. Oh man. I wish I had supported this business more, it was really tasty eats, really simple. Carnitas Don Juan, you will be missed.

If I could give a place a zero I would. Considering that I didn't get a chance to even order I will give them a star. Stupid lady working her this morning just stared at us while we sat in our car by the drive in. We motioned if we should move up or order at the machine and she didn't respond. We pull up to the window and she began washing dishes. What an idiot! Doesn't deserve my business.

Great hole in the wall with amazing food and especially carnitas for a good price! It's hard to come across good Mexican soul food! I give it a five star just because the food is good an the owner is super friendly and generous!

I've been on the search for the best carnitas in Pomona, and so far this takes the pig. They definitely excel at carnitas, so don't try ordering anything but pork items. They typically put a boat load of meat in the tacos or burrito. The burrito is like a small baby and the street tacos are so stuffed that three make me really full, whereas I'm used to eating like 7 tacos at any other place.

I've had this place bookmarked a long while now, don't get to this part of town that often. Finally made it here and noticed from the "A" shaped building and drive-thru I've been here before but obviously was a taco stand under a different name. I approach the window knowing I want Tacos but let me see what meat choices I have pretty nice! So I start ordering Tacos, let me have 1) Lengua - Oh sorry were out of that, OK, let me have 1) Buche bien dorado, Oh NO Buche, Chorizo - sorry NO chorizo today! OK, it's SATURDAY AFTERNOON what do you have? Carne Asada, Al Pastor, Carnitas, Tripas y Pollo Tacos - *(NO deductions BUT I'm not a fan of the way he chops the onions in such big pieces, I also asked for salsa roja, not sure if they offer different salsas?) *ALL meats are cooked on a flattop grill.. Carne Asada - Pretty lean just a bit of fat, meat is not marinated but has some pretty good flavor, the Biggest issue with ALL the tacos was the cheap corn tortillas that were falling apart. 3.5-Stars Al Pastor - Lean marinated pork cooked on a flattop, flavor was just OK. 3-Stars Carnitas - Now this is some beautiful pig! so much flavor, just give me a couple pounds of this and a Caguama of Tecate... #Hijole 5-Stars AVG: 3.83-Stars... Normally this would be rounded UP to (4-Stars) but for the lack of meat selection I'm not going to. FYI: For you Non-Ballerz Yelp has this place as accepting Credit Cards, but as you can see from the sign in the window CASH ONLY...

The best tacos I've had since writing this review. Everything is made to order. It is delicious, not only that, you can go there and actually order meat, which they will cook for you, so you can take it home and put it in your own dishes or what have you. It is nice authentic tacos. The first time I went there, I got one of everything. It is fresh, and delicious. The service is friendly, though there is a little wait since it is made to order, but it definitely worth it.

Wish I could give this place 5 starts, but the smell of hobo at the order window, the lack of debt card use and the extremely long wait time will make me avoid this place in the future. The meats were ok, had asada, and carnitas tacos salsa was good but not home made style like expected.

Stopped by to get lunch for the family. The flavor of the food is damn good. The tripas are somewhat salty and the chicken burrito that I ordered had a total if 5 medium-sized sharp bones inside. The al pastor and carnitas are spot on. Take care if you order anything with chicken in it. I'm definitely not going to have items with chicken because of the bones.
Been living in Montclair for four years now, and never thought about coming here once the entire time. Till one day we were dying for some carnitas. Came here on Yelp, found this spot and tried it out. What the hell were we thinking not coming to this place? You can't miss it. It's easily recognizable, because it has a big giant blue roof, and if you've been around long enough, you could tell by the design that it must have been a Weinerschnitzel's at one time. Anyway, short and sweet. $5 get a BIG burrito, full of beans, rice, and more importantly, tons of the meat of your choice! You can't go to a place that has Carnitas in the name and not order the carnitas, so I did, and didn't regret it. Tender, salty. porky goodness, tasted like they had just came off the pig and out of the cazo. They have tacos too. $1 or $1.25. $25 gets you something like 22 tacos or 3 pounds of pork product, 1 pound each of carnitas, buches and chicharron. If you are into carnitas, just come here and eat. Seriously.

Stopped here to try menudo on a Sunday. Was $5 for the bowl and it came with all the side add ons. The menudo was really good!

Been meaning to try this place out for a while, but unfortunately I'm only in this area on Sunday evenings. This week I switched shifts to work the early shift and went by for lunch. Carnitas is seriously amazing. Asada was decent, but the carnitas was out of this world. So flavorful and delicious. Wish they were open just a little later on Sundays so I could go more often.

Best tacos EVER! You can taste the flavors in the taco. I'm so glad we found this while we were in Pomona. This place is a definite stop by when I am in the area. Also, the woman serving us was friendly and service was super quick. Make sure to have cash on you when you visit this place! I swear you won't regret it.

I just had a best burritos ever. If I am not too drunk to drive, I would go there immediately to get another, even one burritos feeds me really enough. Well, it's not alcohol talking. The carnitas tastes so good. Wait.... The best part is their spice sauce, fully brings out the flavor of carnitas. And the price is quite a bargain. I tried almost all mexico restaurantes in pomona area. Some are quite good, lindo and los burritos. But not as good as this one. For anyone complain the faciliates, GO TO A FANCY RESTAURANT. REALLY FOOD DONT NEED CRAPS TO PROMOTE ITSELF.
