Carnitas Don Julián — Restaurant in Santa Ana

I was craving carnitas as I was getting ready to watch the Chargers beat the Raiders. I did a quick Google Maps search and this small restaurant popped up near me. I missed it the first time, so be on the look out for a small entrance next to a fence.

First time there, but I can tell you it smelled delicious and was very clean inside.

I ordered a pound of carnitas and an order of onions/cilantro. Order was ready within a few minutes.

They accept visa/Mastercard and cash. They have a small assortment of bottles Mexicans sodas in a fridge behind the register well.

I'll definitely be going back as the carnitas were very tender and flavorful. The only downside, no chicharon casero. 😔

The best carnitas I've eaten in Orange County hands down this is a small little joint on 1st street and parking can be a little bit of an issue but trust me it's well worth the effort the taste is so authentic I will come back for sure and I live in the city of orange and it takes me a 25 minute drive to get to this location however like I said a moment ago it is well worth the effort the staff is really friendly this is a little small hole in the wall, mom and pop joint. But my friends trust me the food is fantastic, strictly carnita's but definitely definitely authentic taste can't wait to come back, their closed Monday and Tuesday so plan...
