El Rey de las Carnitas — Restaurant in Michoacán

I went with my kids. The overall experience was very good. We ordered pitcher of horchata, agua de Jamaica, sopa tarasca and 1/2 kilogram of carnitas.

The aguas frescas were good, on the sweet side but good. The Sopa tarasca was hot, as it is suppose, and very good.

The carnitas were good however it was served in chunks and not finely chopped, we could not create the tacos as i wanted. It was not easy for the kids eat tacos...

2023.08.25 - perhaps it was because of the time of day we dined at El Ray (just before noon on Friday), but the carnitas were old and cold and served on a plate covered with plastic wrap. We should have eaten from the carts on the street, but reviews here on Google raved on this restaurant. It was a big disappointment and not worth the drive up...

Nice place. Very traditional and lovely. The michelada was very good Unfortunately the carnitas were all precooked and under plastic wrap. And cold. They had been cooked at least 8 hours earlier or longer. The food was meh. Very Disappointing, especially after driving so far. Find a street vendor for food and this place for drinks...
