Carnitas Barajas

The very best carnitas you can get in Merced county! An absolute must anytime I am driving through Planada and even sometimes when I am not! They have typical a taqueria menu if pork isn't for you. 10 out of 10 delicious and consistent!

On the way to Yosemite today we stopped at this little spot known for their amazing carnitas. I ordered the Torta with carnitas and he ordered the carnitas burrito. Delicious!! The bread was perfect vessel for the crispy flavorful carnitas. It was huge! We could of just shared that. His burrito was delicious too! All of the times that we've driven through this little town on the way to Yosemite, and this is the first time stopping to eat here. What a gem!! The yelpers don't lie, their carnitas are really delicious! Some of the best we've ever had. 10/10

Those burritos hit ,especially that red sauce,straight fire lolGrew up on their carnitas,the go to spot in planet

People lined up Sunday early/ I eavesdropped and ordered the 'favorites'.Best carnitas torta. Period.Superb chivo. Fresh tortillas, salsa, car picnic in the lot. Immediately. Do it!Bought the menudo/ still too full but looks very promising..Tremendous chicharon. Huge 12" x 24". Crispy salty goodness. My wife isn't a huge fan, but she kept snapping off chunks.. says a LOT! Buche was a big seller. If you know, you know. If you don't, I don't think it's going to be your thing. (It's pig stomach. If you like Menudo or tripe, then maybe but it's got a..... "pretty heavy flavor")No tripa or lengua tacos on sundays( menudo and chivo take up the stove-room), I'll grab some the next time headed east. I usually go through Madera, but this place may change my route. It's reaaally good!

The family loved the carnitas will definitely be back! So glad we won't have to drive far for good carnitas!

Was unaware there are 5 different types of chicharrones!! But i know now and barajas has all 5 made fresh on a daily!! Best chicharrones n carnitas around! Menudo and birria are bomb also!! Portions are great! Highly recommend!
