"The carnitas at Carnitas El Guero are exceptional, the kind you order extra because you want leftovers to last for days. Rich, tender, and perfectly fatty without being greasy, the carnitas are so good that the people behind it are in the process of building a mini empire of stands and restaurants all over Texas. Our favorite location is the one on North Lamar, with a full kitchen, serving quesadillas, gorditas, tortas and an unforgettable spicy pozole. You can also get cantaritos served in a clay pot rimmed with chile powder. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
