We drove from the Fresno area to try this place. The Food was AMAZING AND THE SERVICE EXCELLENT! the prices are great too because they have quality. The place is very nice and just to add, their bathrooms are very clean too. I totally recommend this place!

Kassandra Rodriguez

Love this place ❤️ The best carnitas. My daughter and I love going here to pickup the carnitas family meal. I'm really bad with names. The daughters are so sweet. I'll always recommend this restaurant.

Lisa Dalrymple

There weren't any other customers. We were seated and waited on personally. The salsa is delicious to start out with. My daughter went on and on about her lunch. I should have gotten what she did.

MEERA Gutman

Carnitas, yes! My go to spot! Everything is consistently delicious, rice, beans, carnitas and chicken, I have yet to have a bad meal from them. The front staff is consistently one female employee who takes care of the register and phones, she's always swamped but is always friendly and attentive. They do have other staff but because my orders are always togo I don't interact with them. I recently found out that there is a location in San Jose as well! Try ut, you mugh5 possibly love it!

Arun Changaran

Amazing food. We catered for dinner from this restaurant last evening and were completely blown away by the food. Carnitas are out of this world delicious. Everyone loved the food. Really friendly service. They helped me get the food to my car which was super helpful.

Impressively Good Carne Asada Super Burrito for $14.56. the flavour, quality of meat/toppings, tortilla all hold their own. Oh and the salsas are bomb. Will be back

Vaish “Siso” C

Nice low key restaurant for authentic Mexican food. They have to-go service for delicious carnitas. Highly recommend if you're in gilroy downtown.

Elizabeth

Very friendly service and the atmosphere is super relaxing after a long day. Came up for my daughter's tournament and will definitely be coming back. Not sure on the other reviews, but the food, service and everything around was great.

Edward Van Deventer

Great food here! We have liked everything that we’ve tried. That includes Chili Verde, Carnitas, Enchiladas both red and green, Tostada, plus more that I can’t remember. Rice and refried or ranchero beans are good. Both red and green salsas are excellent. I personally love the veggie burrito. They sell Carnitas by the pound but you have to get in a separate line for that. Give it a try you won’t be sorry.

Dylan Rahn

Fabulous food. The owner came out and talked with us. Checking in on our orders and that we are enjoying what we had. It's got to be the best carnitas I've had in years. Definitely make a stop and enjoy his amazing food

Fantastic little restraunt. Full of activity and clearly a meeting place for the local community. I was warmly greeted when I walked in (in English if that's important to you lol) and after waiting for a few transactions it was my turn. I was on the hunt for pozole, but they didn't serve it today which is understandable. Pretty sure I saw they did have menudo though. So, I went with the standard, 3 carnitas tacos and a large jamaica. They ended up being massive lol. Maybe because I was starving, maybe it was the service and atmosphere, but they were honestly the best carnitas I've ever had. Truly LA NETA. Mil gracias mi amigos nuevos 💚 I plan on coming back 🙏💚

daniel terriquez

Wish the carnitas were this good back home where I'm from. Im glad for the recommendation. The place is so good many people were constantly getting take out. Love the family buisness and the staff was nice and courteous. Would love to be able to eat at least once a week... had enough for dinner as well...

Anna Pyzyna

My go-to spot on my way to Salinas! Would give a 5 if it wasn't for the service sometimes. Carnitas surtidas (3 libras) very tasty and the puerco beans very good too..beans nothing salty like I would've imagined.

Enrique Calderon Zaldivar

Excellent attention, excellent price, carnitas are good, just not sure if because we arrived 1 hr before the closing time, carnitas were very salty... taste was not as great as I was expecting. Pozole was great, salsas, rice and beans were great too.

jlt_productions

Excellent, authentic tasting Carnitas. What I loved though was their rice! OMG! Perfectly made in every sense of the word. Beans in a small bowl, salad on the side. The only thing missing was home made tortillas. That would of been the icing on the cake.

Keisha Harrell

The food is terrible I wasted 14 dollars The food look old and no flavor I ordered 2 steak tacos I threw it away it look like dog food I will never come back nor recommend this place to any one The steak look dry and old Look like process steak

Marian Casillas
