Carnitas Quiroga are famous in Tijuana so this place is legit & after seeing their name pop up on socials I've been wanting to check it out for a while!!

Let me tell you, best carnitas I've ever had in San Diego. Not dry or oily, just crispy juicy goodness and paired with really good beans as well. Their portions are huge which is rare to see with this level of quality and prices, ask for a box in advance because you will have the best leftovers tomorrow. Their handmade sopes made me tear up & reminded me of the motherland 🇲🇽 lol definitely a great experience and excited to try other things.

Clearly the food surprised me but what really sold me was the customer service. They're incredibly welcoming, engage in conversation, and very attentive. You can tell they put a lot of love into this place and care about their customers.

My friend had a carnitos barrito and really liked it. Neither items came with any sides (beans and rice), but the servings were so big they were not needed. Both of us ended up taking part of it home. I really enjoyed my visit and recommend it. I will...
