Carnitas El Bajio

Best carnitas torta I’ve ever had hands down! Made fresh to order and just all around delicious!

No carnitas on Saturday about 12:30…already sold out! The owner suggested coming in as soon as they open because they run out fast. I tried the tri tip sandwich instead. It was good. served on a freshly toasted roll with grilled onions and pickled jalapenos but was 7.00. The carnitas are a better value in my opinion.

I have been here on 3 different occasions to get carnitas and they have had none. My visit to this place was word of mouth but have been very disappointed at all of my visits. Poor customer service. Seems like these people don’t care about their business.

Good little, and I mean really little, hole in the wall. Room for about 4 people to eat inside. The carnitas were good, needed a little salt but the torta was delicious as was the burrito. Beans are really good but rice was dry. They have Mexican soda (coke, jarrito, and fanta), the Tri-​tip was tender and good. Will go back but definitely for pick up.

This is my sons favorite place to order food. We call it «the hole in the wall» because it is super tiny inside, only seating for two sets of two. My dad said they make the best carnitas he’s ever had in his life and I love their BBQ ribs, they only make them on Saturdays and sometimes Wednesdays. It is family run and they make their food to order. If the dad is there he always gives us free samples of their daily special. They have a limited menu but it is awesome. My son orders their carne asada burritos and my husband being a taco truck and Mexican food connoisseur says they are delicious. This place is located in back of the one stop gas station (I think it’s called) next to the small engine repair place at the end of Mchenry going north past the fruit stands and car lots on the left. Call before u go as their hours vary. Their BBQ ribs beat any in town.
