Carnitas MOROLEON Reviews
Love the chicharrones and horchata from there
Moved out this way recently and I love my carnitas weekends, this was the closest one to me, so I was why not, I got my 2 pounds of carnitas and I have to give it to them, I got to grab my own carnitas, they even offered to cut it up for me, to me the carnitas was good, better then expected. I've been coming here lately to fulfill my cravings. This is also a tiny spot where you can eat in other foods that are in the menu. It has some settings, the parking lot is a bit small cause they sharing it with the other little stores there.
The food very good I will be returning for more.
Great taste, very friendly people, the salsa de molcajete was very good, not too spicy. And the music from Los temerarios made the atmosphere hit a place in memory lane. Very authentic carnitas.
Best carnitas in all of chicago and the prices super reasonable!!
Very good food. Staff is nice and we enjoy trying new food from here. Carnitas are the best!
I just had the biggest quesadilla of my life and it's ironically called 'qué ese día grande de tanpequeña' - mind blown! Pass that fiery red salsa, please. It's ridiculously good, 10/10. The staff are treating me like family, and I'm pretty sure the cook is my long-lost mom in disguise. Best part? It's a stone's throw from my salon, literally!
Ordered 5 lb's of carnitas and tamales for Thanksgiving, tasted excellent and was ready when they said it would be. Definitely going back.
Hands down best carnitas
The carnitas tacos were good. Personally, I like my carnitas finely chopped, and without asking, that's how my tacos turned out. The waitresses' service was quick and very attentive to ensure everything was just right. The salsa for the tacos was delicious and flavorful. They had three different types: spicy, not too spicy, and not at all spicy. They have a variety of drinks and food, not just carnitas.
Got the steak burrito dinner with cheese and sour cream only double beans no rice. I must say the food was delicious will be back real soon.
no wifi
Staff is great....food is divine....large selection of menu dishes
VERY GREAT YUM YUM THE LADY THAT WAS AT THE COUNTER WAS VERY NICE
Great carnitas.. Al Pastor was good too, but the namesake is the prize here!
So delicious food 10/10 so very clean environment too and friendly staff!! Try their hand made tortillas!!
Excellent tacos
I first went to this restaurant a couple weeks ago with a couple friends. We ordered two pounds of the carnitas and some pork skins. It was amazing that time! The food was great and the service too. I went tonight and tried to order the same thing and the waitress refused and stated that was only for to go orders. I decided to order a small cheese quesadilla instead but I probably won't go back. Very disappointed in my experience tonight.
I hate to say bad things but the food wasn't what I expected. Their quac was so hot I couldn't eat it ,also wasted it was hot,no onions, tomatoes or cilantro in it. The tacos were ok ,prices way to high for what you get .
Did not have a pleasant experience with the food , service and dinning area.
First time I came in for carnitas was good. The food was good. This is my second time I wanted to try the menudo. the place is dirty, the tables, chairs the floor. I understand that it gets busy but that's a safety issue when people can step on rice or napkins slip and fall. I ordered menudo it was good until I found plastic in it..... yes I took a picture. An opology by the waiter and I was not charged for it. Ya me lo trague lol what if I get sick. Highly disappointed. I was really rooting for this place.
1st time at this place with 2 others. Very busy place and has a small dining area. Many people were in line to buy carnitas but it went fast. Waitress took our order, didn't come back with the drinks so I grabbed them myself. Food came out pretty quickly and it was like WARM if that. The rice was a small small portion. The beans were dry and a bit cold-colder than my carnitas. My mom ordered a torta with beans, they forgot to add the beans. I was told the total at the register not given a bill. I used my card and requested a receipt. A few days later I looked at the receipt, there was a $1.99 fee on there for miscellaneous. I thought.. 🤔 was that a charge for the beans they forgot?! And no it wasn't a credit card fee. Total was $62 which was average for 3 people. Right before we left, we got a piece of flan...there was a piece of hair in it! 🤢 (I promise I swore I saw an eyelash in my carnita platter but thought maybe it was a piece of meat that comes from the carnitas so i didn't mention it) I did call the place and let them know about the hair in the flan. They stated the dessert is prepared there, they buy it already made. Umm. Ok that still doesn't forgive the hair. She did offer an additional piece at no charge..#nothanks this place doesn't serve alcohol either. So it was a 1 and done for me. Best of luck!
I have now given this place three separate chances to make somewhat edible food and all I have to say is, I miss Tony's more and more everyday!. If you can't make a steak burrito only steak cheese and sour cream without making your customer wait in your lobby for over 20 minutes and then having them come back for you to remake it, I'm not sure why you're even open. Probably the easiest order you've had since you've opened and you can't even make that right. Even after remaking it there was still no sour cream on it the steak was burnt to a crisp and every single sauce you guys gave me was tasteless. I can't understand how Tony leaves and this is the quality of food that takes its place?!. You can find better food in a gas station garbage can.
