    My first time trying carnitas - Mexican pulled pork. I ordered a taco to taste test. The flavors and textures are really good. Next time, I'd love to try their tortas. Recommended.

    Delicious carnitas. They were very friendly and the portions offered were decent. Felt very satisfied. Recommend getting mix meat as it was more flavourful.

    Absolutely! There is something to live for, and it is the fact that Vancouver is FINALLY getting good mexican food! These are legit carnitas. I ordered two first to try them out, and I immediately had to order another after. The pico salsa and the cilantro lime crema add the freshness element to the succulent and perfectly cooked pork. The carnitas had the perfect fat/skin/meat ratio and were moist and tender. I will be coming back as often as possible and I highly recommend this place to everyone. Funnily there was a group of girls that had just watched some movie at the theater and had lunch at the taco-time. We met at the garbage cans as they were throwing away most of their uneaten quesadillas and, well, it looked like trash.

    Great carnitas! Nice addition and option in the food court. The meat was super tender and juicy. Would definitely go back. Ask for the spicy sauce!

    Yummy tacos, just like those we had in Mexico. Big portion of carnitas on tacos. Will be back for more.
