The 22 Best Tacos In Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

"The default and best way to order the epic carnitas at El Guero here is "surtido," and you'll get a mix of the slow-cooked meats—pork butt, ribs, belly, stomach, and skin—all chopped to order. Or you can get it however you want: lean, fatty, extra skin, or no skin. A one-person order comes with a half-pound of carnitas, a stack of corn tortillas, two kinds of salsa (a green tomatillo and a smoky red chipotle), pickled onions, cilantro, and lime. There are a couple of Carnitas El Guero locations in Austin: a small, cash-only affair in a gas station in South Austin, and one on North Lamar that has a full kitchen (with an expanded menu) and a liquor license. There’s also a San Antonio location now." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
