Plenty of decor. This place is good. Staff is friendly and helpful if you don't know what to order. They have live music on the weekends. I ordered 4 taco carnitas plate. It's delicious!!!

Good place to eat. You can eat outside and inside pretty roomy, too they have a big TV in there. And Elizabeth was our server. She was great, great. Customer service.

Food is delicious and portions are HUGE. Our waiter, Octavio, was attentive from beginning to end. We came on a Sunday at 2pm and there was no wait to be seated. Our food took about 15 minutes to come out. Carnitas is still a new business but it has so much potential. Keep up the good food and service. Just a recommendation, add more vegetarian options for people like me that don't eat meat and you will be golden 😋

The food and the service are great! The staff is friendly and always willing to accommodate. I love Carnitas, this place does them right! We stumbled in one afternoon not sure what we were expecting. There's two types of Mexican food literally right across from each other. One is big and bold (almost went there) but we say people leaving Canitas with big boxes of takeout and we both said it has to be good. So we went in and not to many people inside but we were greeted and sat by the window. The prices are great, not over priced at all and again the food is so good! We are definitely regulars now. I would suggest the carnitas nachos and the carnitas plate, our two favorites. The meat is super juicy and tender. All and all definitely worth the drive from Riverside.

I recently had the pleasure of dining and it was an experience I won't soon forget! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by Gonzalo with warmth and elegance. The ambiance was perfect, with soft lighting and beautiful decor. But what truly set this restaurant apart was the entertainment. Throughout the evening, there was a live band and Dj that played really good music. The musicians were incredibly talented, and their music added a touch of magic to the entire dining experience. The food was outstanding, each dish was a work of art, both in presentation and taste. The service was impeccable, and Gonzalo was very attentive. If you're looking for a truly special dining experience, this restaurant is a must-visit!

I came in for a quick bite. My first time here and I ordered 2 birria tacos and a Paloma. The drink was really good, service was fast and I couldn’t even finish the 2nd taco because they were pretty big and they did not skimp on the shredded beef. I’ll definitely be back.

This place is way too delicious and entertaining. Starting on Monday, Karaoke. Then on Thursday to start the weekend with more Karaoke. Friday comes and you’re immersed in Banda. Saturday, imitadores and Sunday is the most fun with “El Pecado”!. Gonzalo is the best and always welcomes you with a smile and a warm hello.

The food was pretty good. This restaurant specializes in pork dishes. We had the carnitas burrito ,a bowl of meudo (good taste & generous serving) and washed it all down with a Mexican coke ( in the bottle).

Convenient location. Came for drinks while our car was being washed. Given chips and salsa, which was a nice touch and they were delicious. Friendly service and drinks were good. Currently under construction, otherwise I would give 5 stars for atmosphere.

This is a pretty old mission-style establishment of Moreno Valley but the food is pretty good. It's helpful if you speak Spanish to order but you'll still get by even if you don't. I like to get their family specials with extra rice and beans. The food has a homemade flavor, hardly any grease, and their green salsa is good, not that spicy. I recommend carnitas and chicharrón.

If you live carnitas, this is your place to eat. But since I'm not a fan of carnitas, it wasn't really my favorite. I'll have to say the atmosphere was good but the service kind of sucks a bit. I do recommend the shrimp tostada. Oh and most in their menu will be carnitas fyi, since that's their main meat.

This place was good. The server was good and very attentive.the torta de carnitas was ok and very well portioned, but very dry. The chilaquiles were also good but the flavor was a bit bland. Both of the dishes that we tried left a lot to be desired

First time here and we won't go back! They gave us more cueritos than meat and the cueritos were thick and nasty! They don't give salsa but that doesn't even matter, The quality of the food is terrible! There is better places out there.

Gave me water and tried to tell me it was tequila. Then, after calling them out, they still tried to lie about it. IT WAA STRAIGHT UP WATER!!! Never going back. Then, they still charged us.

Watch out for the person tending bar named Vanessa. They will tell you something is a certain price and then add extra charges to your bill that you never knew or were informed about. Also if this happens to you, dont ask to speak to the manager because they will just enforce the scandalous charges that were fraudulently added to your bill. The food might be decent, but its not worth the extra money they'll try and scam you out of!

I have to say I am quite disappointed. I was really looking forward to trying their carnitas but didn’t even have the chance to. We first arrived and asked the bartender if we sat ourselves and he said yes which is fine. We did and he said he’d call over a waitress. We waited and waited. Saw two people that came in AFTER us get there menus before we did. I then asked a server if we can please have menus and she said she’d bring them out but never did. Another server came out a couple minutes later and asked if we got our menus already and we said no. He went on to take the peoples order that came in after us. We waited 20 minutes and hadn’t even gotten the menus.

Took the Wife to lunch. First time there. Clean yes. Music Way to loud. The Wife had a torta and I had a wet burrito. The Wife found a BONE in her mouth. Told the waitress and she did NOTHING. I MAKE CARNITAS and they have flavor and are not DRY AND BLAND. I won't ever go back or recommend this place.

Jojo Elicha

Not happy! The food was terrible didn't taste good at all. Torta was dry my first bite I got a bone as big as a grape mostly fat in it to. Told the waitress The waitress didn't do anything about the bone or tried to do anything. Going back there again is no option no thank you. Half the sandwich was fat and hardly any meat. The sauce that had no flavor it had a weird kind of taste. Can't describe it.
