The 8 Best Spots For Pozole In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Pork is (literally) the name of the game at Chicharroland, where chicharrones and carnitas are the house specialties. At this South Park shop, you can enjoy pork rinds by the bagful or in a spicy guisado de chicharrón, and nicely-seared gorditas stuffed with their signature carnitas. And if you stop by on the weekends, try their popular caldos, including pozole verde made with chicken. The poultry pozole yields a lighter broth, but there’s still enough chicken fat floating at the top to balance out the acidic soup." - sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park

Chicharroland - Review - Historic South Central - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Pork is (literally) the name of the game at Chicharroland, where chicharrones and carnitas are the house specialties. At this South LA shop, you can enjoy pork rinds by the bagful or in a spicy guisado de chicharron, and nicely-seared gorditas stuffed with their signature carnitas too. If you’re lucky enough to stop by on the weekends, you can also try their popular caldos, including an excellent pozole verde that–contrary to everything we just raved about–is made with chicken. Food Rundown Gordita de Carnitas There’s nothing quite like a freshly grilled gordita and these are just that–nicely golden brown with a great char and chewy texture on the outside, yet still soft on the inside. They’re filled with tender carnitas, crunchy green cabbage, and a generous amount of crema and queso cotija for some tang and saltiness. Guisado de Chicharron en Salsa Verde All of the salsa verde’s bright tomatillo, chile, and cilantro flavors get soaked up by big wedges of freshly fried chicharron, creating a perfect bite. The rehydrated pork rinds are spicy, super soft, and rich with the fatty bits dissolving in the warm sauce. We like to order a stack of fresh corn tortillas with this to make our own tacos. Pozole Verde This pozole is tart, spicy, and brimming with cilantro, onion, and tomatillos. The chicken stock is super light and wonderfully salty, making this pozole very easy to devour without feeling like you just ingested a half cup of rendered pork fat." - Sylvio Martins

Came in for some oh, so tasty Carnitas!! My sister had previously ordered from here months ago and I just had to come back. This business is not only clean, but they also have parking in the back and the staff is super helpful and friendly. Roberto assisted us in showing us different options. Not once was he bothered by our many questions. Truly a great experience from beginning to end. The food was amazing and made to perfection. The hand-made tortillas are the best!! To those who have passed it by and doubted coming in, I guarantee you will not be disappointed. I will be back to try other dishes 🤤

Super good food and reasonable prices! Chef Roberto and mom makes some of the best, freshest mexican food! Instead of tortilla chips you get chicharrones to dip in hot sauce! Small menu and great food, reminds me of In-N-Outs motto. They don't make ALL mexican food you can think of, just the basics but they are all delicious!

They have good chicharon. The waiter that provided service was great. He checked up on us and made conversation with us. He provided a small sample of chicharon without an additional charge. They sell chicharon by itself to take home. It was $10 a pound when we went. The restaurant is small but welcoming. There is street parking in the front, there's also parking in the alley being the restaurant you just need to go all the way around. Make a left at the light and then another left at the first chance you get. Now the negative it's pricey. For two people it was $51. I recommend this place if you love chicharon.

Eh. I wasn’t impressed from customer service to the packaging, to the flavor of the food and their agua fresca Guava. They over packed the bag causing it to break. Some items deserve a second bag to prevent this. Their menudo has no flavor disappointing. Their gorditas are dry chewy no flavor meat. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

Love the menudo here. The chicharrónes are fresh too. Everyone there is very nice kind. I drive far to eat here.

These chicharrones or pork skins were very very good , you can see how they cook them on the back and they taste very fresh unlike other places , my plate (pictured) consisted of beans ,rice, pick de gallo and chicharrón and although it didn't look very big at first I was more than satisfied when I finish , that was $9 and well worth it, did I mention the handmade thick tortillas? (Also pictured ) , I'm glad I made a stop here cause I'll be coming back!

I saw this place on the Internet, and I went because it was really close by and had high hopes, look forward to the food, I understand that the economy is not great at the moment, but $17 for a small plate of cooked chips, onion, sour cream, and cheese Seems kind of a rip off, there's another place nearby that charges the same amount, but three times bigger the portion, I will admit it does taste good but for the price not really, a little expensive for a small plate, service was great.

Chicharro Land!! The BOMB BOMB ‼ First visit was today, for lunch, and my chicharrone lovin' heart went pitter patter The tortillas are soft, warm, fresh and flavorful. Many places make their own tortillas but don't necessarily have great flavor. These had that fresh nixtamal, corn flavor. The mound of chicharrón nestled inside the tortillas was soft, succulent and savory. Oooo I'm getting flashbacks. I also had a taco surtido, which is a blend of carnita, chicharrón, buche and costilla; that was killer. I had the menudo too! Pieces of carne were soft and thick. The pata was tender and had lots of tissue. The caldo was rich and tasty. Great, great, great place. Family owned and they're so nice! They take REAL pride in their quality and making consistency priority #1.

Este lugar prefiere perder clientela que juntar dos mesas. Dijo el senor que si nos incomodaba eso nos podriamos ir. Nos gusta apoyar con nuestro dinero en lugares latinos pero con esa actitud mejor a Los puestos de afuera. No vengan a qui

Food is amazing so flavorful, the service is great they are very friendly and attentive and are always smiling which is huge. Its a cute place and they always decorate for the holidays. I recommend the tacos de buche or surtidos and get there guacamole, they give it to you with chicharones and cheese on top so delicious !!

I can't believe this has been around the corner the whole two years I've lived here. Just had a phenomenal breakfast burrito (maybe one of the best I've had in LA) made with carnitas. Grilled warm tortilla, juicy carnitas and crispy hash brown with fluffy egg. Just excellent. The location is easy to find and super clean.

First time here and I live nearby. Great food, ordered the chorizo and egg breakfast burrito and it's the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. Great friendly people there, greeted once you walk-in and you're taken care of. You can't beat quality like this. Will be back for more burritos, thank you!

Let me start off by giving Roberto a shout out. He was so patient and informative. We explained that we wanted some carnitas for 12 people and he was so nice that he showed us what a pound looked like so we could decide how much more meat we wanted to add. We got the family meal deal and another 1 1/2 of carnitas and 1 pound of chicharrón. We waited just a few minutes for the order. So delicious with so much flavor and the salsas we're on point. Not to mention the hand made tortillas. Yum!!!!!! A huge plus is that they have rear parking because that street parking is no joke. You can call ahead to order or you can just enjoy your food there. Come check them out.

Chicharrolanda is hands down one of the best spots for gorditas, carnitas, and chicharrón in the area. The food is delicious, the portions are generous, and the customer service is excellent. While parking in front of the business can be challenging, there's additional parking available at the back through an alley.

Overpriced for ok regular Mexican food. A Jamaica water cup $12. They don't put the prices on the menu so you notice how much your check you get the great surprise.

Best chicharron in Los Angeles! Family owned. Humble, nice and excellent service. Love the food and the people just make it feel like home. The botana and the soft green or red and hard (chicharron)tacos are great. Quality tortillas. Been coming 7 years + more. Dios los bendiga

Stayed over in downtown and was craving some non gentrified Mexican food. When I tell you I was amazed at the service, quality, and price of everything! Please please check them out if you're around. The waitress and cook are the kindest and gave us samples of the caritas, told us their story, and treated us so well during lunch rush. 10/10 will visit again Recommend the gorditas and breakfast burritos. Super filling and not over fried

TL;DR: Great place for some good food and of course Chicarron! Only bad thing I would have to say is the parking. ~~Parking: No lot, only street parking. ~~Liked: That they served chicharron and salsa instead of chips and salsa! ~~Best Part: The Chicharron! I got a chicharron platter, and even bought a bag of chicharron to go and stayed fresh until I was able to finish the bag! (took about 5 days) ~~Worst part: Parking ~~Service: Spectacular! Server read off what we ordered before heading back to put it in (I hate when my order get's messed up/ something is forgotten). Food takes about 15 - 20 min to come out, but it's fresh! ~~Tip: Def try Rob's burrito (I got the spicy one and it was awesome). ~~Return: Yaas

I placed two orders, the carnitas plate which was good, I've had better to be honest. Not sure what the fuzz is all about the carnitas dish, it was good but not great. The second order was the chicharrón. I ordered a pound, I was so disappointed to see the bag of pork rinds lol! The chicharrón Im used to eating and have always had, has meat (fried pork belly), soooo disappointing to have a huge bag of pork rinds. however the tortillas were so good and so fresh. The avocado salsa was delicious!

The best gorditas, quesadillas, chicharron, surtido that i have tasted in all the years living in the usa. The owner is so attentive, make you feel at home. I do highly recommended.

Excellent food and service. I love their Pozole Verde with all white meat chicken! I have only ordered takeout and when I get home, I substitute the shredded lettuce they serve with it for shredded cabbage. Yummy!! Their Pozole is not overly salty or spicy...but the level of spice does vary. We enjoy their picadilla, it is like guacamole but no tomatoes. It comes with cheese on top. Ask for mild/medium peppers in it, if you prefer not too spicy food. Personable over the phone, some times the phone is answered by someone who only speaks Spanish, but they quickly say 'hold please' and put on a person to easily communicate with you in English. You can see into the kitchen and it is very clean and orderly. Park in back, especially on the weekends!

I honestly don't know why i haven't written a review for this place yet.. I've been here a good amount of times and it NEVER disappoints. Its a small place, family oriented. If you're looking for a place with good flavored food and good service, this is it. Super authentic Mexican food. The carnitas is my favorite. You can definitely tell they know what they're doing bc the texture and flavor is on point! If I could give this place 6 stars, I would!

Aracely C.

Yelp
Hidden gem in South LA., I can honestly say they have the best carnitas estilo Michoacan. The food was so good and had that homemade flavor, like something that came out of my mom's kitchen. Their handmade tortillas made me think I was in TJ with some legit Mexican food. This will now be my go to place for authentic carnitas, frijoles, tortillas and nopales.

No parking , DIDNT want to give me service because they had a big order which sucks because they shouldn't kick you out because they can't handle situations like that . So they deny service to me over all . I don't recommend they always take long .

This review is based mainly on one my favorite Mexican dishes, chilaquiles. It's definitely not a good sign when I look at my food and ask "What is this?" Sour cream and grease is what I mostly saw. I grab my fork and swivel through the greasy, soggy tortillas to try and figure out what happened here. Seemed to be more of a soup. After trying the chilaquiles, the sauce/grease tasted bland. Needed salt and a better formula for making the sauce, less grease too. Yes, the tortilla chips are fried but they could've been strained. I don't think the tomatoes and chiles have grease so why was the sauce so greasy? I understand this order was to go so Roberto might argue that due to this, that could be why the tortillas were soggy. Please look at the pic (under my pics) of a take out order from a different restaurant. I can tell those are chilaquiles and they weren't soggy/greasy. Another restaurant gave me the sauce on the side to pour over the crunchy tortilla chips once I was ready. I hate to leave negative reviews but this is by far the worst chilaquiles I've ever had. Added a star for the handmade tortillas and the effort on the ham and eggs dish. Rice and beans were ok. Sorry about the long review but I was very disappointed with this experience.

From the staff to the menudo my experience visiting and dining for the first time was amazing. Will be back! Quaint, clean and delish. I over indulged and ordered the chicharrón en salsa verde and carnitas taco, which was superb. I also ordered a bowl of menudo, which hit the spot.

I love pork!!! I love carnitas and chicharrón!!! We got a pound of carnitas, a pound and a half of chicharrón, some tortilla echas a mano, sauce and rice. Everything was delicious!!

This is the best place to eat if you want authentic Mexican food! Had the best green pozole here and the hand made tortillas were the BEST I've ever had. I had the green pozole which came with all the condiments and tostadas with creams Osito had the Carnitas surtido which had carnitas, buche abs cueritos. Best buche I've had too. The owners were super friendly especially the young man that took out order. A must come to and worth the trip. We will be coming back. I'm glad in a way that they aren't too close by where we live because I'd eat here everyday and probably gain a lot of weight !

All I can say is O....M......G! This review is a long time coming. The name lives up to the reputation. First, the chicharron is super fresh, crispy, warm and oh so delicious. The carnitas are moist, succulent and taste bomb with their fresh hand made tortillas. The salsas....oh the salsas.... yummm. Everything is delicious and affordable. The best of all is the friendly, super attentive staff. They even brought the food out to our car so we didn't have to come in. This place is a diamond in the rough. I'll definitely be coming back for more!!!!

Man oh man let me start by saying these people got it going on. Family owned business and they got it together. Not only are they opened during covid but there food is on point. Stopped here yesterday found this place by chance. Left our house in orange California and just took a drive. Had a craving for chicharon yelped it and found this place luckily 8 miles from where we were and we headed there. We were only going to get chicharon but the nice young man in the front said you want anything else, gave some suggestions and ended up getting chicharon,carnitas, buche and cueritos oh and a dozen of home made tortillas. The food was phenomenal!!! We were set for the ride back home and dinner. Love supporting family owned business and people that know what food should taste like. Definately will.be back for a sit down meal when this is all over!

I'm back! Almost 2 years since I discovered this spot and I can happily say, it's still THE BOMB. Yep! Still freakin' delicious. And my oh my, maybe it's just gotten better? Because lord, lord, lord, we can't get enough. It all started with pozole. Now, we indulge in carnitas, cueritos, gorditas de chorizo (my brother's favorite), huaraches, menudo, burritos, breakfast huevos rancheros, the list goes on. The food is still tasty. The ingredients. Top notch! The service? Always great. I hate to admit it, but I'm kinda excited the days when I am too tired to cook or there's nothing in the fridge because Chicharroland always comes through. This family puts in a lot of work and they're consistently delivering the best they can. They care about the food and customer satisfaction. I do think we need to go there in person more often because we stay ordering on UberEats but either way, they make us feel like we're right there, and being there or being home feels like home. So, it's a win-win! As soon as this coronavirus thing wraps up, we'll be back there to thank them in person, tell them how awesome they are and how much their food brings happiness to our bellies. Thank you, Roberto y familia! (p.s. my mom still makes a lot of mmms and ooos when she eats her pozole or menudo, lol)

I made the mistake of ordering the green posole and it was so delicious, I just know I'm now addicted. I had half the posole and was already trying to decide when to have it delivered this week. I also ordered a carne asada sope and I can't stop thinking about it lol The owner took my order and was SO friendly. Can't wait to get more food from Chicharroland.

Best spot for Chicharron!!!! Si no es de aqui I don't eat it lol ( I take like 1 or 2 business cards every time I go because when people ask me where I get my chicharron I give them a card - the one stuck on my fridge, so then I have to replace it )

I found out about chicharroland from a friend that was here not too long ago. So I thought I'd give it a try since I am in the neighborhood. I tried the beef soup loaded with fresh vegetables, tasted like homemade beef soup, the beef was so tender and juicy. We also ordered the Menudo, beef burrito, everything we ordered was very tasty and freshly made with fresh vegetables, and homemade tortilla was amazing. The service was great and very friendly. Also they're salsa is so delicious. I will definitely come back again and I will tell all my friends about this place.

I order from this place on 08/17/21 via Ubereats for lunch. All I have to say is that the food I order was all amazing and neatly packed . They followed instructions to a T. The taste was authentic . The carnitas were soft yet crispy just like the ones from Michoacán . The tortillas... a kiss to the chef because as a true Mexican I highly appreciate the hard work of a hand made tortilla . I will def be returning with my family.

First, I chose a place that is close to me for delivery because I want the food as soon as possible. But the delivery didn't happen until.over an hour. I even had to call Grub hub to get the status of the driver. The driver seems distracted. Food wise, disappointed. Very salty chorizo breakfast burrito - couldn't finish it. Subway can make fresher and better sandwiches. Sadly it was not open on Sundays. The CLB sandwich was also disappointing. The chicken was very dry and hard to chew. Barely any avocado in it. Overall, a bland sandwich. Not worthy of delivery or for breakfast food.
