“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Hidden Gem in Richmond – Carnitas Done the Right Way
If you know carnitas, you know there’s a difference between good and Puebla-style done properly — and Carnitas Poblanas El Canelo absolutely delivers.
This place started as a humble food truck and has earned its reputation the right way: through flavor, authenticity, and consistency. No gimmicks. Just real-deal Mexican cooking.
🔥 What I Ordered
2 x Large carnitas tacos on handmade blue corn tortillas, piled high with creamy avocado, shredded cabbage, and finished with fresh lime and radish. The meat? Perfectly slow-cooked — tender inside with those crispy caramelized edges that make Puebla-style carnitas legendary.
On the side, their salsas:
The green salsa brings serious heat (in the best way).
The red salsa is deep, smoky, and rich.
And the strawberry horchata? Next level. Creamy, refreshing, slightly sweet, and served ice-cold — the perfect contrast to the savory carnitas.
🌮 Why This Spot Stands Out
Authentic Puebla-style carnitas — slow-cooked and crisped properly
Handmade tortillas (you can taste the difference immediately)
Fresh ingredients throughout
Quesadilla de chicharrón prensado that locals rave about
Fast, friendly, family-run hospitality
Casual setup — the focus is 100% on the food
It’s not fancy. It’s not polished. It’s not trying to be trendy. It’s authentic, flavorful, and consistent — which is exactly what makes it special.
Some of the best carnitas in the Bay Area? Absolutely.
If you’re in Richmond and you appreciate traditional Mexican cooking done with pride, this spot deserves your attention.
Highly recommended. I’ll be back. 🌮🔥“

“Tacos Los Primos is a great place for real authentic Mexican food, whatever you choose is going to be amazing!
I ordered a bunch stuff for the day laborers that were helping old lady Pucklepuss straighten up her hedgerow and got a sampler of Taquitos while I was waiting, and they were the best I've ever had!
5 ☆☆☆☆☆ for sure, no shit!“

“I'll have to say that there's nothing special about this food truck, still good don't get me wrong but nothing stands out amongst the food items, the service quick but it was just me, no line and the location of the truck is to hidden with not enough signs to show. A bit pricey for the portion of meat on the burrito.
Parking: It's a small parking lot but since there aren't a lot of customers It's easy to get a parking spot and the food truck is right there inside the parking lot.
Wheelchair accessibility: Sufficient space for wheelchairs!“
“I've been ordering from Tacos Etzatlan #2 for about the last 6 months consistently (though my belly has been unhappy about it). I am absolutely addicted to their food. In fact, this is likely the best food truck I've tried in my life! Make no mistake this isn't to be taken lightly as I am a huge foodie who is personally obsessed with trying tacos from everywhere I can (including doing tasting tours in Mexico).
My personal favorites are the asada tacos and their asada super burritos. I rarely eat an entire burrito that big but believe me, these are so tasty that I don't leave anything behind. My kids love this spot so much that they call them the best burritos in the world.
What's the secret sauce? The ingredients are so fresh, flavors stay in your mouth.
Options galore (tacos, tortas, burrito, etc) which have satisfied many cravings I have had. Customer service is A+ and it is Latina owned and run which I am always thrilled to support! They are fast but you can call in your order if you are in a rush!
I saw several reviews that they are cash only- that is no longer the case so bring your favorite plastic and enjoy!!
Do yourself a favor and support this small business with some incredible tasting Mexican food. I'm getting hungry just thinking about this spot :) Mmmmm...They close right at 1pm so be there before and prepare to be blown away.“

“Ive been coming to Tacos La Raza for some years and they consistently deliver on flavor. The tacos de suadero are juicy, well seasoned and cooked perfectly. I just had the packed steak super burrito and it was delicious. Salsa roja is perfect not overbearing.
My only complaint is the meat portions on the tacos are inconsistent. For some reason that bothers me.
The ladies are welcoming and friendly.
Overall, solid spot. 👌“

“This is My first time going to and being at this Location. First-off this store was very busy at the time and Alot of Big orders. But Honestly I don't think the Staff was really in fazes by this Rush. There cashiers and there Cooks handled everything with great attitude and good attentive awareness of what needed to be done. I like to give a Big Thank you to Angel and Luis for there upfront Help and Customer Service that they gave me while I was there. I had a long day and it wasn't the Best but the Great prepared food that they made was right on time. And the Friendly environment from the Staff mad me feel more better all the way round. Great way to Pick up my upside down day and Get ready for the Night. Thank yaw. Much Appreciative and have a Great Year“

“Wow! This place is amazing! I'm extremely picky about my Mexican food. As someone that grew up on authentic food from michoacan, it's very difficult for me to find decent Mexican food. This place exceeded my expectations by a long shot! The tortilla was fire, the salsas were fire, the meats/seafood was fire! The fish and shrimp tacos tasted like the ones I had in Ensenada growing up! The service was absolutely outstanding. Very friendly, and extremely attentive! This will absolutely be one of my go-to's!“
