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!

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...
