Carnitas Michoacan

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this taco place, and I can’t speak highly enough about the experience. The food is absolutely fantastic—every bite of the burrito I had was bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. But what truly sets this place apart is the incredible staff. I’ve been going through a really tough time, struggling with homelessness, and it’s been a challenge just to get by each day. When I walked into the restaurant, the staff noticed that I was not doing well. Instead of ignoring my situation, they showed an extraordinary level of compassion and kindness. They offered me a free burrito, no questions asked. This gesture might seem small to some, but to me, it meant the world. It was not just about the food, but the sense of dignity and humanity they extended to me in a moment when I needed it most. Their generosity and warm-heartedness were truly touching and made a significant positive impact on my day. If you’re looking for a place with amazing food and an atmosphere filled with genuine care and kindness, this is the spot. The staff here goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels welcome and cared for. I highly recommend this taco place to anyone looking for not just great food, but also a place with a heart. Thank you for making a difference. I’ll never forget your kindness.

Hadn't been to this restaurant because they have 'carnitas' in their name but something made me take a closer look at their menu last night. EXCELLENT FOOD! I ordered a bunch of stuff, chicken enchiladas, hard shell carne asada taco, birria tacos and hubby had the chimichanga. The food was so delicious I want it again today!!! Birria was off the chain. Enchiladas had fajita veggies inside, cooked to perfection. Will 100% go again.

I popped in at 9:30 pm on Super Bowl Sunday and had a nice meal. I live in Simi Valley and all the Mexican food places close by 9 or 10 pm. I didn't wanna be rushed so it was nice they're open til 11. Walked in and was greeted by Tony I believe who was sweeping the floor. We talked some football. Didn't catch the name of the nice lady behind the register but she was cool too.. They are really nice. They got my Super Nachos out to me in a just a few minutes. For meat I had lengua. The lengua was nice and tender and had just the right amount of flavor. Everything was fresh and the portion was just how I like it. Big! The Jamaica drink was full of flavor and nice and cold. They also have a salsa bar. I will definitely go back and support this family owned business.

Great food, done right in this small eatery. Quality of ingredients, flavors, portions everything was spot on. All 3 salsas were delicious as well. We loved it and are glad we tried it out.

I love their pozole. If you're ever feeling sick or dehydrated, this soup dish is the cure. Great tacos and burritos, too.

After 10:00PM when we ordered on a Friday night. The food came out quickly and was tasty and big portions. They allowed us to eat inside. There were drink refills allowed. The meat was tender and flavorful in burrito. The burrito had a lot of meat in it. The taquitos also had a lot of meat and were flavorful too. It was tucked in back of shopping center and little difficult to find. It wasn’t fancy though good!

One of my go to places for Mexican food! They are open later than other places, their food is consistent and the staff are always nice. Very delicious food! Highly recommended.
