I've been driving past this place for almost a year now. I finally stopped in and ordered 3 chicken tacos. They were delicious 😋 Luis was very friendly. I will return.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I just had brunch at Carnitas #2 in Prospect Heights, and WOW—the food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the Chilaquiles with three over-medium eggs and skirt steak, and it was so much food that I had to bring half home (which I’m already excited to enjoy later). The sauce was absolute perfection—so flavorful that I didn’t even want to add the extra spicy sauces they offered.

My waitress, Julie, was outstanding—truly as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. She was kind, attentive, and so helpful. The entire staff made me feel genuinely welcome. As a Houston Texan spending time here in Chicago, it was such a joy to experience that warm, home-style hospitality.

The atmosphere was inviting, the people were wonderful, and the food was perfect. This is definitely the kind of place you want to stop into after church for brunch, or honestly, for lunch, dinner, or breakfast any day. I’ll absolutely be returning.

✨ Highly recommend—check this place out! ✨

The food here is flavorful and absolutely delicious! If you’ve tried their Carnitas, Chicharrón and/or Barbacoa you’ll love their new breakfast menu!! Here are some of the plates we tried from their breakfast menu and it hit the spot 10/10 🔥
The atmosphere is super friendly and I will definitely be coming back for more!

Today was my first time visiting. As soon as I walked in I received a very warm and friendly greeting. My host graciously explained the items on the menu. The meat there is so tender and juicy. Will be visiting again soon.
