One of the most popular items in our repertoire of tacos is our juicy, slow-braised carnitas. And, today we have the great pleasure of serving this deletable treat and much more at our food truck stop in Costa Mesa.

Our version of this traditional delight is always in demand by our private catering clients and food truck customers and it’s easy to see why. It’s juicy, flavorful and incredibly satisfying. Truly one of our meat lover’s most sought after items.

In fact, we recently received a wonderful 5☆ Yelp review mentioning this particular taco:

“Seriously some of the best salsa and carnitas tacos I’ve had in awhile. I called short notice to have my Friendsgiving catered and Selene was incredible. She was responsive and answered all of my questions. Everyone at the party raved about the salsa and took all of the left overs home. If you want great customer service and delicious food, this is the place you want to order from,”

Thanks, Kenia! We’re absolutely delighted that you enjoyed your carnitas tacos among the other wonderful items on your plate that day. We certainly look forward to serving you again soon.

To make our carnitas we start out with high-quality, farm fresh pork that we hand pick and trim in the kitchen. Then, we toss them in a traditional large, wide-mouthed “cazo”, which looks something like this:

Similar to a very large metallic casserole, this vessel holds the protein for a long braise over the stove that lasts between 6 to 7 hours, depending on the amount of carnitas we need to make.

Once completed, it’s actually completely and fully cooked. So, we set it aside and let it cool off a bit before we ship them out to the event.

At our private taco cart catering and public food truck events, we have the carnitas on hand ready to be ordered by our hungry guests. Once the order is placed, we throw a morsel on the grill for just a few moments. Since they’re already fully cooked, we just need to reheat it a bit before they can be served.

Similar to our carne asada and our pollo asado tacos, our carnitas are served without any fixings on it. Essentially, our guests are given just a tortilla and carnitas. It’s like a blank canvas ready to be dressed and customized into a hand-held masterpiece.

On our end, we prefer it with just a little cilantro, onions and squeeze of lime. But now and then we like it hot & spicy! And, because it’s so customizable, it’s no wonder why our customers enjoy it as much as we do.

As mentioned earlier, today we have another terrific opportunity to serve up this delicacy and so much more in Costa Mesa on our food truck: 11A – 2PM, The Met, 575 Anton Blvd, Costa Mesa, CA.

So, don’t be shy… come on by today and ask for a carnitas taco or twelve. We hope you enjoy it as much as Kenia of Newport Coast did, if not we always have a terrific money back guarantee. See you there!
