Great food! I love ordering a family platter to go for parties or dinner. The mixed carnitas are delicious! Their beans are good too from someone who doesn't eat beans ever (Asians tend to have beans as a dessert and not a savory item so I'm not a big fan usually, but these were great!).
Service is fast and good. Carnitas is delicious. Affordable. Still have to try their birria next time :)
We drive 2+ hours to come here. The carnitas have always been good! Its been our to go place. The restaurant should however invest in AC System because its humid, hot and so uncomfortable inside on a hot day. The cueritos on the carnitas seemed too pale than other times, not sure if the carnitas have been cooked different or in a rush. The guy serving the carnitas doesnt seem like he does what he does in a good mood, not a smile, not friendly vibe, doesnt try to engage with the customer like the guy who used to be there.
Fresh made Carnitas great service and perfect location in Gilroy ! Little. Bit tight but very Cozy place
The best carnitas in the area. They need to expand the restaurant, they are very limited to seating if you're dining in. They give you your food in a Togo container, which you may find kind of odd, but you won't have to ask for a to go container afterwards.
This is a must stop place and the Chile Verde is a must have!!! It's sooo good and has a little kick. Just enough to make u go hmmmm. I like a little more heat, so added a dash of the red sauce. So good. We got the meat by the pound deal and it was plenty of food for 3 guys. The taller waitress was a huge help, as we didn't kno what we wanted and also helped w the language barrier.
We stumbled upon this place during a drive down to SoCal. What a find! The food is excellent. The service is charming and the place is clean and well kept. It's not a *designer* Bay Area restaurant, as far as those go, but the food is amazing and it's honestly one of the best Mexican restaurants I have been to in a long long time. Definitely check this place out!! I love the refried beans the huevos rancheros and the burrito was scrumptious. Ten out of ten on the service, food and kindness. Trust me you will miss out if you you don't come here!
Still the best carnitas I've ever had. We don't come here too often since it's far from where I live but when I'm craving GREAT carnitas and chicken this place is unmatched!!!! Love their customer service and ambiance. Also their aqua frescas are bomb af! I love the Jamaica. (See pics for reference of what good food is!)
