Zamora Carnitas

Super friendly. Super delicious. They have covered searing and some space to park in the lot. There's a crowd every time I pass by, so we decided to try it last week. It's a gem!

You cannot hope to imagine just how good these cart-nitas are. First, you have to pick them up at the truck, in a neighborhood of East Oakland, in an empty lot. I went there at first, before the truck had arrived, and left because it's an open, empty lot in East Oakland. I only realized that that was the true destination after checking all the socials and confirming others had been there. Coming back, the truck was open, the line was a few people deep, there were tables set up with tents and you could smellll the delicious pig fats emanating. My second hurdle was figuring out how many pounds my partner and I could handle. Because yes, you can get the carnitas by the pound, or in taco form. We opted for just the meats to go, getting the mixto so we could try em all. Every morsel was a succulent trip to my taste buds. Can I pick a favorite? No. I will continue getting them all and will go goblin mode on them in my car like a feral monster. Do not sleep on this place because I will not forgive you if they stop running.

We usually go to carnitas Jalisco and wanted to try a different location. We recommend that you arrive early since they tend to sell out, the tortillas are made my hand and are so bomb! This place is def worth it! Don't expect an aesthetic location, you're going to come for the food!

Amazing carnitas spot. A total hidden gem in Oakland. The address is wrong though. They recently moved to 1970 seminary.

The carnitas are the BEST!!! Loved the tacos de carne. Definitely recommend!! If you don't have cash, they accept Zelle.

Well here is another 5 STAR hidden spot I found in Oakland,CA. Family owned, Family staffed, friendly services, BUSY busy, Patients is key here but well worth the wait! If you're craving some of the Best Zamora Michoacán style Mexican Carnitas. You have to try these Delicious Carnitas for yourself but you will not be disappointed! Area seems kinda of shady but easy to find with the Long lines of hungry people! Once you arrive, there's not too many parking spots so try to find you a spot wherever you can. They have 4-5 tables with chairs and canopies. They accept Zelle! The Smells of freshly hand made corn tortillas and aromatic Mexican Carnitas is mouth watering! They open 9am so try to get there early because they do run out of carnitas! Prices are low per pound, recommended to buy 2-3 lbs with 2 dozen hand made tortillas and the Green avocado salsa with the pickled red onions! You can buy individual tacos but personally I would prefer to buy pounds! Very worth it! Just realize that please be patient! Hope you all try these Mexican Carnitas out! Enjoy!

this plain white food truck (no signage) is in Discount Brakes & Tires' location sundays only from 9:15-3:30. dining tables are set up in the parking area.they sling tacos Michocan style with generous portions of cuero (tender pig skin), buche (stomach), and carnitast @3.50. proteins are also sold by the pound. condiments of pico de gallo, pickled jalepenos, salads, pickled onions, raw onions, cilantro, radish, lime squeeze are available on the tables, self service. corn tortillas are hand made on site. tacos are best eaten immediately since they cool quickly. proteins tastes juicy, tender. salsa has a kick.

The best carnitas I've ever had. Super reasonable prices and great to take home for a big group to heat up later. Come early!

Definitely lived up to the hype! I drove around the listed address which turned out to be the OLD location and couldn't find the truck so I called the number and found out they moved two months ago. Their new loc. is at 1970 Seminary Ave., Oakland. The mixto was our favorite - flavorful and juicy. Planning to visit again this Sunday!

We just left this place and I'm so disappointed. We waited a little over an hour for 4 tacos and 1 pound of carnitas. It doesn't look like anything is being cooked on the actual truck just preparation so I dont understand how it can take so long. They were busy but seems like they have no system. Unfortunately, some firefighters that had ordered food left without it because they took so long and got a call. I have seen other establishments try to get first responders out quickly because they understand the nature of their profession. Overall, the flavors are good but nothing special that can't be found elsewhere. Definitely not a place I would return to nor recommend. I don't know if this was an off day for them but was not worth it.
