We had two types of tacos from Ninja. Both were good, but the Carnitas were superlative. The pork was cubed, not shredded, and it was possibly the most tender, best slow-cooked pork that I've had anywhere. There were few, if any, pieces of animal fat, meaning that the pork was almost entirely muscle, but it was some combination of well marbled and slow cooked, such that it was soft and sticky to the point of falling apart. I liked the cubed preparation more than I expected. The sauce, which was similar to an aoli, was simple / subtle and complimented the meat perfectly. It doubled what was already there without distracting from it. Melded with the pork juices to create something that was more than the sum of its parts. Toppings included onions, and shredded lettuce. Nothing unnecessary or even anything deeply complicated. In some ways, the carnitas were less adventurous that the other fusion fare on the menu. Just exceptionally good pork, complimented by a sauce the highlighted the character of the meat, and the essential toppings for texture. I wouldn't have added or subtracted a single thing. Except for the salsa. I did add that, and it was quite good. I never expected a Japanese-Mexican fusion taco truck to perfect the Carnitas taco, and even to take it to new heights, but this one did.
