Carnitas Junior is a hidden gem serving authentic Michoacan-style carnitas, menudo, and barbacoa. The restaurant offers great food, including delicious chicharron tacos and generous portions at a good value. The staff is polite, patient, and welcoming, allowing customers to sample food before ordering. The Aguas frescas are a highlight, and weekly specials and promotions add to the appeal. However, some customers have experienced long wait times and lack of staff recommendations. While the food is generally decent, with the huevos rancheros being a highlight, there have been some complaints about the quality of other dishes, such as the lonchesitos estilo progresso. Additionally, some customers have been dissatisfied with the restaurant's policy of charging for extras like lemons and sauce. Overall, Carnitas Junior remains a popular destination for authentic Mexican cuisine, with the potential to improve its customer service and menu consistency.
