      This is the real deal.

      Fresh, juicy carnitas. Chilaquiles. Tacos, burritos.

      Of course, the best of all worlds is a chilaquiles burrito with carnitas in it. It's pretty big. And it's very good.

      The carnitas tacos are probably a better bet if you just want the carnitas to shine.

      I saw many plates of chilaquiles on other tables and they looked enormous and amazing.

      The horchata is fresh and fantastic.

      Yes, they change $1.00 extra if you use a credit card and they tell you up front.

      Seating inside and out. Friendly counter staff.

      If you love carnitas, this is your happy place.

      During my visits here I have always been greeted/treated with amazing customer service by the girl working the front always very cheerful and helpful! I love this spot! My second time here and I ordered 1lb of the carnitas mix and a menudo. I love carnitas and this spot won my heart it's not easy finding good carnitas so I am happy to say that this is my go to spot. I get the mix which comes with the carnitas, cueritos, and buche packed with so much flavor. Just one bite of these carnitas and it brings a smile to your face! This visit I tried the menudo and it is amazing so much meat and no maíz which I prefer. Leave the Maíz for the pozole lol.
      While those are the only things I get from there they also have a great variety of options I have yet to try.

      Their carnitas are terrific, especially on their wonderful Chilaquiles! You can have Chilaquiles with red sauce, green sauce, or, if you get the "Rampage Chilaquiles" you get red on one side and green on the other and enjoy the best of both worlds. Also, the Rampage Chilaquiles are so big, that you could make a full meal out of one side one day, and a full meal another day out of the other side!

      Carnitas! Carnitas! Carnitas! Incase you couldn't guess I really like their Carnitas. This restaurant has more to offer than that. Stop by and grab a pound or two of Carnitas or a Chilaquiles burrito for breakfast. The menudo is really good as well. Very clean establishment. The staff is always friendly and hard working. Take a look at their menu and see if there's anything you might like. I'm sure you'll find something. You can't go wrong with good food!

      Great little spot in Inglewood. The service was great and the food was out standing. I had the tacos de carnitas mix. The flavor was in point and you can taste each individuals meat,. Cuernito, carnitas and buche. The taco has plenty of meat and worth to come try.

      Nothing short of incredible. It was great to come back home to LA and have this as one of my first meals. These were the best asada nachos I've ever had. The horchata was also on. Point.

      Tried the carnitas burrito. It was very good and the owner was nice and gave me a sample of carnitas beforehand. They have a creamy orange salsa that's also very good. Will be back!
