CARNITAS "El Güero"

Mexican restaurant · Georgian Acres

"Carnitas are definitely the move at the Michoacan-style restaurant with multiple locations, including this one up in North Austin. Opt for the orden personal, which comes with more than enough food for a single person from the morning to late night hours. There’s a pile of the juicy carnitas, plus tortillas, tacotes, and a doradita. Takeout orders can be placed in person; there are indoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
