This place is amazing. I woke up today on a gloomy Saturday wanting some birrieia and so I looked up on uber eats and saw this place serves it. Placed an order and it was on point. Thr meat was flavorful and they didn't use cheap fatty meat. The salsa was spicy which I like because nowadays too many places makes their salsa like water. I almost couldn't take the heat but still ate it and enjoyed their food. I order eggs and chorizo for my son. The only thing I wish they replace is the pork chorizo . With beef chorizo. Since we try not to eat anything from a pig. Other than I will definitely order from this place.

Perfect little hole in the wall for authentic Mexican street tacos. They offer some of the beat tacos for a reasonable price. I recommend getting the three tacos platter with rice and beans. Don’t forget the green sauce which packs a small but tasty kick. San Fernando valley hidden gem well worth the trip.

This place has the best carnitas I've had from this place all the way to the border in San Diego. Juicy, flavorful carnitas with the skins. I ordered 1lb of just meat. Side of their gauca salsa and a red and green salsa. The green salsa is very, very good. Red is also very good. Just randomly looked for a Mexican place near me and this was a hit. Cannot recommend the carnitas enough. For the white people that say the skin is gross. You have no idea what you're talking about. It's amazing and it's how it's traditionally served. Traditionally its served as the entire pig is fried in its own fat. Liver ,head, kidneys, feet. Don't be so precious white people. Anyone ordering anything other than the carnitas , hang your head in shame. The name of the restaurant is Carnitas Michoacan.

My new favorite place, I went here before the ownership change and it wasn't bad, but recently I've gone back and tried maybe 5 different dishes they have and I'm impressed! Their tacos are perfect and the Chile verde burrito is to die for. Their salsa and pickled vegetables are on point too. 5/5 stars.
