You can pick just the meat (carnitas) or tripas, buche, or my favorite the mixtos: a little bit of everything. Mixtos tacos.

Other Yelpers write up brought me here. I like Nexican for especially Carnitas. Carnitas shop on Garden Grove Blvd across from a hospital. It's no frills , not a foodie place. Just a few very tasty pork carnitas items to have for lunch or dinner in humble surroundings. It's a local favorite. mostly takeout A few tables in a crowded room. Food. Simple and delicious.Service. Go to counter and order. Wait until you are called out pickup at the window.Ambiance- friendly, ordinary "hole-in-the-wall" in older area There is beer for sale too

This place has perfected the carnitas. They only serve carnitas and it doesn't disappoint. The tacos already have a kick to it so adding the salsa is at your discretion. Two tacos was filling enough with great flavors that pretty much made me think about getting one more taco because whyyy not?! The restaurant isn't that big and in my opinion is really meant for take out and quick eats. Service was fast and easy so no complaints there.

I'm on a special diet and the 1lb carnitas with 6oz pico de gallo is a great deal for a couple of meals. The best carnitas around for sure! Not too greasy or fatty. Great way to hit my protein macros, jajaja!

Great carnitas (mixto) by the pound. It's not dry or too salty, will be back for more. The lady behind the counter was very cheerful and prompt with my to-go order

WOW. I was searching for the best carnitas in Orange County and this place came up as one of the highest reviewed. Now I know why. I arrived on a Friday evening about 30-minutes before closing (they close at 7 PM). Usually for places like this they can sometimes run out of meat -- but not here. I ordered a "mixto" taco ($3 after tax), which is a mix of all different kinds of carnitas meats (stomach, ribs, skin, etc.).So, so good. The variety of cuts was so juicy and tender. Not too much fat and grease. Very soft and flavorful. The tortillas really took it to the next level. I am not sure if they are made in-house, but the taco came with two yellow corn tortillas which were warm and fluffy. The pico de gallo on top is a nice touch.I'll definitely be back to try the carnitas plate ($9) and more tacos! Plenty of parking as they have their own lot. They also accept credit card. It wasn't crowded on a Friday evening (I was the only customer).

Came on a weekend around 11:30AM, lots of parking spaces in a private lot. Got two carnitas tacos, they were huge! I generally don't like carnitas because I think they're dry, this one was pretty good for not being dry. Flavor was quite good! For the big tacos, $6.53 for two including tax was acceptable (3.5% more if you pay with card, so bring cash with you).
