It was the closest place and only place that wasn’t a franchise and I was great carnitas were great
Recommended dishes: Carnitas Tacotes Y Doradita
Authentic carnitas and other Mexican staples. We shared a mixed carnitas platter. Meat was moist, salty, with skin and trompas. Quesabirria tacos and consume were above average- rich and savory. Sides, sauces, and drinks were literally perfect. 5 stars for Mexican Coca-Cola. HIGHLY recommended for families, couples... basically EVERYONE.

Tacos were good but a little skimpy for the price.

This place is located in a kind of a ghetto area of Austin. It does have decent parking size. The place looks clean inside. I tried to Caldo De Res, who’d was good. I wanted to order a second michelada and it took about 15 minutes for the server to come check on me, even when she saw my cup empty several times. My server was busier filling up salsa containers, instead of checking on the customers, This has been some of the most mediocre service I’ve ever experienced. I CARE MORE ABOUT THE SERVICE, FOOD IS SECOND. I won’t be coming back here.

Recently moved to Austin and in need of some good carnitas. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted. I was very happy with the food but what stood out to me and really made an impression was the aguas frescas we had limonada con pepino (lime and cucumber) and a limonada con pepino y piña (lime, cucumber and pineapple) they are made fresh and per request! My daughter had the quesabirrias, my husband tried the tacos de tripita and we shared the carne asada and carnitas, we also ordered some guacamole. Everything was delicious. The service was great very friendly staff and a clean place.

I had the tacos de chicharrón prensado, lengua and agua de piña/pepino/limon…and wow! So good. I’ll be dreaming of the chicharrón prensando and craving the freshly made agua fresca for weeks. AND the bathrooms are sparkly clean! highly recommend this place if you’re in the neighborhood.

I came here bcuz someone recommended it,it was NOT what I expected & just a regular experience. 😐😕
Nothing special about this place that I saw or experienced. 🤷♂️
Walked in & used the restroom first....after seeing this disgusting bathroom, I should've walked out. But,I was hungry & decided to give this place a try. 🙃
I like to be flexible & give places a try, but first impressions & results count in my book. 👀
The general layout of this restaurant is odd & look's like a jenga hopscotch put together haphazardly?? Dirty and disorganized location.🫣
Giant potholes in the parking lot & limited spaces is also an eyesore.
I ordered the carna asada plate with aqua de horchata. 🍽
The meat had lotsa grizzle & skin left on whatever meat this was?
The rice was cold & bean's we're good. The avocado slices was the best thing on this plate🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑
Added plus of having 5 tortillas is nice. 🫓🫓🫓
I was battling the meat to eat it and pulling off the skin while eating this. The $6 Dollar Glass of aqua de horchata is extremely overpriced. Good but NOT Great.
Other than the initial order,the waitress never came back after delivery of food. Poor customer service & lack of any followup at all. 🫥🫨🫤

I’m being on that place a several on the past and today I work close to that location and was really bad
We see a small roach we let the waitress know and tell her to get rid off the roach she tried but no success
We tell the cashier and she looks like she doesn’t care
I don’t try to get a free food
We just want to head and apologize and tell us they going to take care
Please if you are the owner
Take care your place
Because I really like the carnitas
Thank you 🙏
