Carnitas Tacos Slow-Cooked Daily
Tender pork with crispy edges — the kind of carnitas tacos that take hours to get right. Available at all 8 Brito's Burrito locations.
Carnitas Tacos, the Slow Way
Real carnitas can't be rushed — the pork has to cook low and slow until it's tender enough to pull apart, then crisped up for texture. The dish traces back to Michoacán, where it's traditionally simmered in lard for hours before being shredded and finished over high heat. That's the same idea behind ours, made fresh every day at every location.
It's a favorite for a reason: rich, slightly crispy, and just fatty enough to stay juicy. Order it in a taco with onion and cilantro for the classic combo, or build your own with any of our fresh salsas.
