Tacos de Carnitas
Tacos de carnitas are a flavorful and iconic Mexican dish that highlights the tradition of slow-cooked meats. Originating from Michoacán, "Carnitas," meaning "little meats" in Spanish, refers to pork braised or simmered in its own fat until tender, juicy, and full of flavor. After hours of cooking, the pork develops crispy edges and melt-in-your-mouth bites, making it a delicious and satisfying experience, especially when served in warm tortillas with fresh toppings like onions, coriander and salsa.

Birria is often served as a stew or as tacos, offering a deeply flavorful experience that showcases the heart of Mexican cuisine. It can be enjoyed as a stew or tacos with cheese.
