The carnitas were not as well done as we would have liked and the cashier messed up our order (they gave me a torta instead of a burrito), as well as the order from the person ahead of us

I will give it a 5 star because of the amazing carnitas but the carne asada is a 3 at best . I followed Foxito to this place but no Bueno, even TBK has better reheated asada than this spot. Luckily they have amazing carnitas

Stopped by after la cruda and got the carnitas tacos. They had em on sale too. $2.99 each, I paid 9$ total with the pop and they were good. Lotta meat.

I love this small grocery store, good stuff, decent prices, built in Taco stand and a great meat department They make their own Chorizo and their carnitas and ciccirines are so good you'll understand why people line up to get them fresh by the pound
