Authentic flavorful dishes. Enthusiastically explained by wait staff. Have been three times will keep returning

Without a doubt and by far these are the best carnitas in Phoenix. If you tried the rest you have to try these, " simply the best". And to top it off great service!!!

Little family-owned/run business that makes the most delicious carnitas! You can order different types of meals, or order by the pound! Regardless, it's ridiculously yummy! I went with three carnitas tacos: 2 with "reg carnitas meat" and 1 "mixed" with pork skin, etc.. These bad boys are big! Each taco was PACKED with carnitas...and they were D E L I C I O U S! I finished all but the 3rd taco, but I'm also ordering a 4th taco to take home with lonely #3. Because you can't have just one. I'll definitely be back. My server, Beto, was extremely welcoming and went out of his way to make sure I was taken care of- even between all the other customers. There's about 10 tables total; 6 booths and 4 small tables. As I've mentioned, it's a small business so come support! Come try some mouth-watering, flavorful, juicy carnitas!!!

the hidden treasure of food specialty carnitas habanera sauce the best service excellent small place but big in flavor

It took over 15 years for my family to find a good carnitas place like what we'd get in California and we're glad we found our spot! I randomly heard about this place and decided to finally try it. the carnitas mix is great the buche and cueritos are soooo flavorful and the carnitas are great. The workers were very nice and playful which made the service great. We did a to go order on a Saturday morning and it was quiet and quick. If you're fan of spicy food get the chopped habanero !

Like many others, I have wanted to come here after seeing this location on a Mark Wiens video. About a month back, I would be in the area because of an NFL game and decided getting an early dinner was worth the trek. It did not disappoint. The birria tacos were almost like butter when you bit into them, and the consumme broth was tasty on its own. We ordered a plate of tacos (five) and then some birria tacos to split. We weren't too hungry but wanted to try this spot. The tacos have a little toppings bar that is covered up. You can load your tacos up with pico, salsa, and pickled onions and prep them to your liking. This spot is tucked into a strip mall but does offer a decent amount of parking. We did go at an unusual hour (4 p.m.), which didn't hurt our chances of the spot being busy or parking being limited. Upon entering, we were greeted by a man seated behind a counter and told that we should take a seat since we were dining in. A very courteous elderly woman then came over to take our order and ensure we knew everything in the restaurant. I would try stopping by for a meal if I were in the area again!

I love the food! I live the horchata!! We ordered a tray that included: cuerito, carnitas, buche! So delicious!! I especially liked that the food was not super salty especially since my family usually doesn't eat salt. I do wish they made a spicy salsa, i tried them all and non were spicy or had anything special to it. If you order to go do not expect to get any side such as cilanto and onion or salsas. We ate at the restaurant and the staff was super nice! They made it fun and were super friendly and attentive. please note that this is a small fondita not really a restaurant to dine out with the whole fam since its pretty small. For example we had a total of 5 people and had to split between tables since we had toddler and the parents, plus my dad and I. This was fine for us since the service was good and the food was delicious. If you are a family of 4 or less you will be fine but note that it gets busy since they get a lot of people. It took them about 10 mins to bring out our order which is pretty good considering how busy they were both for indoor dining and to go orders. I recomend that if you get get it to go do it! Its cheaper as well but reminder that you dont get sides. The ambiance for me was great since we all enjoyed ourselves but its not a beautiful looking restaurant its a small business and they do have labels everywhere which to me is understandable. Guys people just dont know how to respect or do stuff so to me it makes sense. They make to go orders cheaper since this way people dont get salsas n cilantro so it's understandable. No need to get angry. Anyways, I loved the food and Im actually going to stop again after work today lol but I will be getting it to go Sadly they are about an hour from my house so fingers crossed for a new location in Mesa lol I give it a 4 since its pretty small to dine in for larger families but I loved it!!!! (update: went today again, OMG the birria i got it to go. So good we made tacos that night at midnight lol best ever)
