Porky's Carnitas: Reviews & Ratings
Family owned and operated . Great food, great service , great environment. What more can you ask for from a restaurant? I had the Carnitas taco, asada taco and chicharron with a side of rice and beans . Everything was great, well cooked and well flavored. Highly recommend to anyone looking for some good homemade Mexican food.
Food is great.... The service is excellent you won't have no regrets especially that mix
Still the best carnitas in town. Today I had a big ass bowl of menudo with maiz and homemade corn tortillas just the way mama use to make them.. the Jamaica was not the powder stuff it still had bits of Jamaica in it...the best! Sergio is the best great attitude compassionate in taking care of his customers. Thank you Porkys even got me a pound of carnitas for dinner.
If you are looking for authentic Mexican food this is the place this place is so delicious we love the chicharrón and carnitas better than anywhere else I highly recommend salsas are the best the best costumer service
I got myself some chicharrones and carnitas with some handmade tortillas and it was bomb!! The chicharrones are really the best
I have tried to visit for over a year and when I found out they changed their hours to closing later, I was ready to try the costillas tacos and some carnitas. Stopped by on a Thursday and asked about the taco special for the day, a young lady asked a man (whom I believe might of been her father) and he told her "no specials" today (I had just seen the sign outside that indicated B1G1Free). So I proceeded to place order for costillas tacos and was informed that they were out of them. I ordered two Gordis (gorditas) and two tacos. The carnitas are super tender and tasty. But the Gordis are too small! I had to order another taco!
