Carnitas Don Pepe - Brownsville

I had already bought barbacoa from them on 3 separate occasions and tasted great. Juicy and tender. But today may 2, 2024 the barbacoa tasted like if it was burnt. Crunchy bits, and the taste was as if they used the same pot without washing in between or used the same used oil from other meats, to cook and fry all their meats. I tasted the oil of their tripas and carnitas. And I don't normally burp their barbacoa, but all day the oil and burnt taste of the barbacoa gave me the burps (tastes like rancid oil). I'm so bummed cuz I did like it before. Not sure if and when I'll try them again. The people are friendly, and kind. They do treat you well and speak to you well.

I like everything there, the carnitas and the chicharron are my favorite, good service, the only complaint I would say is that they give more sauces or make the bags a little bigger, the prices for the chicharron and the carnitas are a little high for What they give, more than anything with the chicharron and they should also put the tortillas for what they charge, I don't know why here everywhere they give everything separately, yes the food is very expensive anyway, but I do highly recommend the place, it is all very rich.

Been here three times, once when it was a Bar-B-Que joint that sucked and twice as the new Carnitas. I have had the pork or carnitas tacos both times along with the charro beans and a pork Tamale. It is now my favorite Taco joint in Brownsville!! Their Tres Leches cake is the best I have had in the Valley. My friends who went with me both times for lunch agreed that this is the best Taco joint in town. Service both times was excellent, however we were there at the beginning of the lunch hour and they were not busy yet. I would have rated them 5 stars had they had a better menu. Their menu leaves many questions, such as can you buy one taco and one tamale, etc. Yes you can! Go in with an open mind and give them a try!!!

Lots of flies, cokes in both fridges were warm, to dark not enough light in there.

I like everything there, the carnitas and the pork rinds are my favorite, good service, the only complaint that I would say is that they give more sauces or make the bags a little bigger, the prices for the pork rinds and the carnitas are a bit high for what they give, more than anything with the pork rinds and they should also put the tortillas for what they charge, I don't know pxq here they give everything apart, if the food is very expensive deporsi, but I highly recommend the place, it's all very rich
