“ I gotta say this place should be on those show as a top 1 in America!!! I was told I got lucky with the short line when I went in. By just looking around it doesnt look like much, but judging this place is the last thing u will want to do! I asked for my order and the love u feel from everyone is just great. They gave me a nice size sample and I added some salsa to it. I got in my car and started leaving the lot when I finally tasted the carnitas. .... Woah, pull back over and set the car in park! The flavor will just melt in your mouth and make u feel like Homer Simpson with drool. I would not be able to focus on the road with the amount of flavor I got from this small bite. If only I had a warm tortilla and I would have called it a perfect start to the day. Its just amazing to see the art of flavor they have and yes, I recommend this place!!! Buy stock in this place! ”
“ The Best carnitas! They were so soft and not salty at all! The sauces they have there are the best a 1010! If youre not sure you can ask for a sample the people there are really nice. ”
“ Carnitas Chepas are THE BEST carnitas I have had in YEARS! They handsdown beat all the carnitas spots I have tried in Mexico and a few other from the Chicagoland area. The people that work there are very friendly and welcoming. Simply delicious! ... ”
