Poor presentation, long wait for food and arrives to you cold, tortillas hard to chew, chicharrón has a weird taste, tripas very dirty and greasy. Staff doesn’t smile or make place welcoming. They get bothered when you keep asking them for more plates, napkins, or refills. Don’t recommend eating here. 🙅♀️
Service was good, but the food took a while all for it to be cold and not have flavor. 😖 I’ll never go back. The food needs to be better. I can cook better than that. It was bad. The chicharron tasted sour, my ham and cheese was cold. The papa I ordered, the meat needed flavor. I didn’t return the food bc I was hungry and waited a while already, but I did leave most of it. 😭 the owner said I could have returned it, but the food needs work there. I should have returned...read full review
The Menudo was amazing. The Chicharrón prensado tacos with Guacamole was delicious.
We enjoyed good quality food with friendly and courteous service. Definitely be back!

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.
