"It goes without saying that you should order carnitas at Carnitas Michoacan, but we’ll say it anyway. The pork at this Mexican spot has the power to improve virtually any Monday. The result of a tangy marinade paired with a long braise is this happy marriage of tender, melty meat and crispy edge bits, honeymooning inside tacos or burritos wrapped with fluffy handmade tortillas. Go nuts with any of their tasty salsas (we prefer the hot red). And while you’ll definitely want the carnitas in some form or another, the carne asada should not be missed." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
