What Warda Shafi likes about Don Pedro Carnitas:
This place is not your usual restaurant, with rules and regulations.You have to ignore the queues and the chaos to really just enjoy their menu.The food is to die for. I had breakfast on a Sunday, so I got to taste their weekend menu.We ordered brain tacos and carnitas and even though we ordered half portions of each, we ended up taking some food home.Everything we tasted was delicious. View all feedback. What Annalise O'Kon doesn't like about Don Pedro Carnitas:
the carnitas are fired. they have a good taste, a little salty tho. the salsa they give are also good. they also have a red and green salsa they sell, both are good. I personally get the salsa cuz, they are spicy. they also sell birria and barbacoa and taquitos that I did not try, but while I was there, many people also bought everything else. View all feedback.

Love this place !!!! The food here is so delicious!!!

Don Pedro is a unique and bustling restaurant that may require ignoring the chaos to truly savor their incredible menu. Despite some long wait times, particularly for their famous carnitas, the food is said to be worth every minute. Customers rave about the carnitas, brain tacos, and other menu items that are described as absolutely delicious. The salsas are also highlighted as a must-try, with the green one being a favorite among many. While the customer service can be hit or miss, the outstanding food and generous portions make a visit to Don Pedro a memorable experience. Whether you're a fan of the long slow-cooked pork or prefer their birria and barbacoa options, Don Pedro is highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience in the area.
