I'm from Mexico City, and I really appreciate these carnitas. They remind me of the traditional food and make me not miss it so much. I 100% recommend the carnitas and the brain and meat quesadillas! And the service from the waiters is also very good.

The best Carnitas I have tried in Merida, the flavor is very good, the taco is very well served, the waters are also very delicious, the sesadillas are good, the service is very good, in takeout service they give you a taquito while you wait and that is something that almost no one does, however it is a very good detail, I highly recommend it!!!!

We ordered delivery, and they arrived super fast. The tacos were exactly as we ordered. The tacos were delicious. I thought the red sauce was delicious. My husband loved them too. I recommend the assorted tacos.

Without a doubt, these are the best carnitas in Merida, and I've tried them in many places. The tacos are served in a truly amazing way, there's no other way to put it. I recommend the entire menu, but especially the rib tacos, the assorted tacos, and the sope. Don't hesitate; you have to go and enjoy it.
