    Hands down best carnitas in Forest Hill owners are super nice and friendly you are always greeted with a smile and they do provide samples of carnitas before you purchase my family has become a regular for sure you will not be disappointed the homemade tortillas are chefs kiss changes the whole flavor of food would only say aguas frescas do need a little more sugar for my liking but other than that food is and wait time is a plus no long wait periods like other restaurants on mansfield hwy plus alot of parking for sure its a must try.

    A great find! Stopped in for our first time today! Authentic and delicious carnitas! We ordered two pounds and tortillas and will happily have leftovers for dinner. Salsa was great too. Welcoming atmosphere!

    Food was delicious flavorfull and tender. The tortillas are freshly handmade and the carnitas don't even need salt like most places. The cueritos are nice and tender unlike other places that are chewy. Everyone was nice with good hospitality. Would definitely recommend coming to this spot.

    I had the carnitas with homemade tortillas, and they were absolutely delicious. The pork was tender and flavorful. What really stood out were the homemade tortillas—warm, soft, and full of flavor, they made every bite taste authentic and fresh. Paired with the salsa and lime, it felt just like a home-cooked meal. Generous portions, great flavor, and the homemade touch make this a must-try
