"Ah, carnitas. At this little eatery tucked into a strip mall in Chula Vista, you can taste the rarity of freshly made pork carnitas here in the South Bay. Think: a table loaded up with a big plate of Morelia-style pork carnitas that have been simmering away for hours, sides of beans, corn tortillas fresh off the griddle, and even red rice to please the San Diego crowd. Come with a group, order family style, and let everyone make their own tacos in between sips of creamy horchata." - Kristin Díaz de Sandi
