“ Delicious Carnitas! Great place to stop for lunch. Chicken Quesadilla was big, cheesy with tender tasty shredded chicken. Pastor and Lengua tacos were very good, Carnitas was my favorite, tender and delicious. (You can order it lean, or with more fat) Counter service was friendly and helpful. Mild salsa is a verde, medium is red and has some heat to it. Wr ”

“ Delicious and very authentic tasting, nice place family friendly , good portion size and great salsa options! Will come back soon! ”
“ Very good flavor they got cuerrito buche and costillas. The people there are nice they speak English and Spanish. Very welcoming environment gets pretty packed. Only thing challenging is the parking good luck. ”
“ Delicious carnitas, in Chicago we would get carnitas every Saturday but since we moved to Minnesota I hadn't found a spot like home. Until I found Don Tachos , the flavor is on point and the carnitas are soft! ”
“ The best carnitas taco in town! Get the mix carnitas with skin and meat. Love their hibiscus tea as well! ”
“ Finally tried this place. I've been reading reviews and driving by multiple times since I live close by. Im glad I did. They say they're known for their carnitas and the people are right!! I went in and got me two carnitas and two asada tacos. I got their hottest salsa they had which had habanero. I tried the carnitas first and I was mind blown from the flavors it packed. This is by far one of the best carnitas I have tried at any Latin joint. The steak couldn't hold up to the flavors the pork had. Moooo on over cause these carnitas just took over. These bad boys are$2.50 each and that aint bad of a price. I just found my new taco joint by the house. ”
“ Passed by this place all the time so one day me and my boyfriend decided to finally try a new place. Nice and friendly people. There was this sweet little girl helping us great price. We definitely stuffed ourselves cause we love tacos. Will come again. ”
“ Another great spot I discovered thanks to my snooping around on Facebook lol. This place lays claim to making the best Carnitas in town. Now I can't say for certain if that is true since I have yet to hit up all the taco joints in town but I can say they have the best Carnitas that I've tried thus far! And for me that is a big plus since Tacos Carnitas are my favorite kind of tacos. The inside is small, simple, but feels very open. Also the service is friendly and quick. For my first time here I had to try their Carnitas since it's in their restaurant name. I kept my order simple and got three Tacos Carnitas with a medium Horchata since I love Horchata! When my tacos came I loved that they had the authentic accompaniments of chopped Cilantro, Onions, and a Lime wedge. I decided to keep one taco plain, one with their green salsa, and the third with the Habenero Salsa. The salsas added a lovely kind of refreshing kick to the tacos. But I actually preferred these tacos plain since the Carnitas meat has plenty of flavor to them already. I was suprised to see that the they serve up their carnitas with bits of the braised pork skin. That adds a great texture mix up along with the stringy but juicy tender Carnitas. The Carnitas themselves were plenty juicy, not at all dry! For flavor they were good but after several bites I kinda felt like there was a saltiness built up on my palate and then it became too overpowering for my taste. But to counter that I had my cup of Horchata. I don't know what it is about the Horchata here but it seems so much more refreshing that other Horchata I've had. After a couple bites of my tacos I just chase it down with a sip or two of Horchata then my palate is refreshed and I am ready for more Tacos! Overall in my opinion they do make the best Carnitas in town! Along with their refreshingly flavorful Horchata I got myself the perfect meal! ”
