Tacos are Disgustingly horrible. We ordered Carnitas, Carne Asada and Chicken tacos plate, Gross!!! Tortillas are horrible they feel apart all soggy. I will say Chile Verde plate was eatable, rice was good, beans not good at all. My plate came with rice & beans and tortillas. I originally requested flour tortillas when they came I realized they were disgusting so return them for corn tortillas instead, only to be given cold store bought tasteless tortillas. I didn't bother to eat any tortillas nor did I finish my meal, got it to go to finish eating at home with real authentic tortillas. Service was not the best, it seamed like we were more of a bother to the waitress than anything else. Ambiance was nice and authentic looking giving you a feel as if you're going to receive good authentic yummy Mexican food.. YEAH NO!!!! I will NEVER GO BACK NOR WILL I RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. You will be very very disappointed Why are they still in business is beyond me? it's no wonder they have very low reviews

Drove around town looking for a Mexican food place I haven't eaten at, and apparently I couldn't find one lol. I've never been to any Carnitas Express locations, EVER bc I try my best to avoid this place due to the name of it. (Just sounds like everything has pork)... but since I love, love, love Mexican food I decided to try it.Mayra took very good care of me. I explained my situation to her and asked if they use lard in their beans or rice. She said only in the beans. Also, she told me that they use vegetable oil (not lard) to fry.This place gives you free chips and salsa so i thought that was nice. I opted for the 3 shredded beef taquitos appetizer. It was really packed w lots of meat but it was mehh... I didn't really care for it bc the shredded beef was extremely dry and hard to eat bc it was so dry. But since I was in a hurry I just wanted to eat at a place I haven't reviewed yet (aiming for 500). I don't think this was worth the $9 I paid. Had I gone to a taco shop I may have enjoyed my dinner and paid less.The place was nice and clean though and service was really good.

Not a fancy resturant, but nice and clean for a casual dining experience. The food is average (the portion size and price is fair). Servers are always nice and helpful.Pros: *Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner served all day*Affordable*Kid friendly * Plenty of inside and outdoor patio seating.*Large menu selection *They have small televisions at bar and others placed throughout the restaurant *Nice size servings*plenty of parking out front *Blended strawberry margarita 6/10 (always a hit or miss)*Chicken taco plate 7/10*Chips 10/10*Salsa 10/10

Had an hour to kill before my next doctors appointment at the VA Clinic so I popped in here for a quick bite. Not bad at all. Nice little cozy spot. Both servers were extremely nice and the food was pretty good. Given I only had a coffee and a breakfast sandwich but it was tasty. If I have appointments like this again I'll stop in and try some more of their menu. If you're in the area you should check this place out.

My new short term rental manager took me here. I ordered the dish I always order when I go to Mexican restaurants, because it is too labor intensive to make for my solo self, at home. Chili Relleno. I thought the Chili Relleno here was very very bland. I kept shaking salt on top of my food. The salsa was watery, too. I drank a horchata, it was OK.I would rate 2.5 stars.

I had the chilli Verde burrito had sweet taste to it. The wife had a very lightly turkey and bacon sandwich with fries. There was 4 thin slices of turkey . The fries were fresh hot. The service was blah. They seemed like they didn't want to be here not friendly.Not a cheap place for lunch.

Service was ok. Food was bland no flavor at all. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and it tasted sour. You could not differentiate between carne asada and beans in burrito all very bland. Chips and salsa were good. It was our first time and last time here. Giving 2 stars for service. Waitress was nice.

Service is always great here, we come for breakfast and the price point is great compared to these other trendy brunch spots around town. They have the best country fried steak around it is packed with flavor and a nice portion for what you pay for. The kids always love their breakfast options as well and if they want they can order off the kids lunch menu. The restaurant also s always kept up and super clean with a nice ambiance to it. If you come on a Sunday they have the football games on as well so that's a plus. I highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast or lunch.

I had mixed feelings about this place. I opted for the Camarones Calientes plate, which was a substantial size and very filling for the price. However, I lost interest as I started eating it because there really wasn't much flavor to it. It lacked the flavor profile to elevate it from filling to enjoyable. It also wasn't spicy at all even though the name suggests it was.I didn't have a terrible time here. The service was nice and the other food I sampled from my family was also passible, but nothing that left a lasting impression or longing for me to return.
