The owner is very nice and always gives me a sample of carnita meat to eat while I order. The food is amazing I love the carnitas tacos!! Being from California this food definitely gives me a taste of back home

If you love carnitas, this is the place to go. They really pack the tacos with meat — one taco here feels like you’re eating two! The flavor is amazing, and the carnitas are juicy and tender, never dry. The atmosphere isn’t the greatest, but honestly, these are often the places where you find the best food. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you’re serious about your carnitas.

To start off they didn’t have any food or meat cooking when coming in there. you know when you walk into a taco place they already have the stuff ready and going prepared for customers to order, that’s not how this place was. A lot of people in there gambling. Loud music can’t really hear the guy to place an order. I ordered 2 plain steak tacos which had a lot of fat in the tacos, one steak taco with everything on it one was supposed to be Al pastor didn’t receive that one , one chorizo ended up with 2 of those. Not what I asked for. And one carnitas taco that was also never received. I love eating at small businesses in my neighborhood and I went off the reviews of this place but nothing seems to add up. The food was so so again only received 5 tacos from the 6 that was ordered and received whatever they wanted to give me instead of what I ordered. I wouldn’t recommend this place. Seems like they went down hill from what I read in last reviews compared to what I experienced today.

Mr. Ambriz is all good and his tacos are the best in the area. Every Tuesday they have a special of $2 per taco!!! It does not include the Ojon taco (in the photo) but they are very delicious tacos for the price.

Ordered some food from this place a couple of weeks ago. I placed my order online, it said to pick up my food in half an hour when i placed order. Arrived at restaurant it was closed, mind you it was around 2pm. Took 2-3 days for me to get thru to the restaurant about my order and to try to get my refund for it. Owner says they don’t have my order or my money, but they will try to resolve it, so that i can get either credit or my money. Its been since mid August and still nothing. I have called and left messages and no response. They haven’t responded or anything. Now im down $60 and never received my order. Terrible communication and bad business practice. Please be careful when ordering from here online. Save yourself the hassle and money. Cuidado con ordenar de este local en linea!! Te quedas sin tu dinero y sin tu orden

Must try!!! Super good. The Carnitas don’t taste super heavy with oil, and you can reheat them in the microwave without it tasting less. Will definitely make them my new carnitas spot.
