- GuadalajaraThe tortas ahogadas were not satisfying at all. It's a fraud and a shame for Guadalajara. 😡😡😡
- atmosphereThe atmosphere inside was oddly tense
- buildingAlthough the building itself isn't very appealing, the Food is amazing. I had the potato tacos and a torta ahogada.
- feeling unsafeThe food was fantastic, and the service was top-notch, both receiving a perfect score. However, the area where the restaurant is located is described as ugly, and I felt unsafe. I wish they would open another restaurant in a different, safer location, perhaps in the south west.
- locationthe area where the restaurant is located is ugly
- park parkingWe've seen their shop before with the Pig logo and big words "carnitas" but never thought they were actually open because I haven't seen anyone around, but that could be because they park in the back. The park parking could be a bit sketchy. I would try to park in the overloaded parking spots shared with bajamar seafood and tacos.
- parking lotget pass the parking lot
- strong odorwhen we walked in there was a strong odor
- videosThis place definitely isn't what they make it seem on their videos
If youre looking for a clean spot with nice outdoor seating and a calm vibe inside, its worth a visit. Just be prepared that the immediate location and parking situation might not be the most inviting, so manage your expectations for the approach.

Tasty Burritos and Hearty Nachos
My experience at this restaurant was positive, particularly with the food. The burritos were tasty and filling, and the nachos were piled high and hearty. I frequently order takeout from here and have consistently found the staff to be polite, never rude or dismissive.
While the neighborhood is typical for the area, it doesn't detract from the experience, especially since I live nearby. LOL

Incredible Birria Tacos!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the best birria tacos with consomé I've ever tasted. The pastor and asada tacos were also incredible, hands down the best I've ever had.
Every bite was packed with flavor. The freshly made sauces were amazing. The service was great, fast, and friendly, and the atmosphere was a perfect 5/5.
I highly recommend this place!
