This place gets BUSY during lunch time on the weekdays, and understandably so because it’s SO GOOD. After coming a couple times, I can confirm it’s my favorite carnitas spot!
What do I recommend? Everytime I come here, I get the Combo #3 Mix with Jamaica. The carnitas are so delicious. Well seasoned and tender. A little salty, but in a good way. I love getting the mix because it has the pork meat, intestines, AND pork skin. Gotta love the chicharron.

First off, the atmosphere being in one of the few remaining original Taco Bell buildings is so cool! The carnitas here though are sooo good. Best I’ve had north of San Diego.
The rice and beans are excellent as well. They stand on their own being very tasty. Everything about Carnitas El Rincon is great, especially the service. Always a quick answer pleasant experience keeps me coming back again!
The prices are very reasonable and the party sets are a great value.

I give 5 rating because the food super delicious. I hardly eat meat particularly pork. But this one it’s irresistible I only eat maybe 1/4 of burrito even I wanted to eat it all because of heslth reason. It tastes like siopao back home… the service is always friendly… when it’s busy it takes awhile so I order online.. highly recommended just eat in moderation…

OMG this place is amazing! Been around for quite a while – My friend used to come here as a kid.
Pork skin and stomach are my favorite.
Highly recommend ordering the blank taco and meats, and add your own meat. Sooo good!

Hella porktastic. Pata en carnitas is fun to eat and pick off the bones which I had previously. Today I had the cueritos and they are also as yummy as the pata but without the fun of using your hands to eat off the bone. I’ve had the regular carnitas to go but I think they dried out a little on my bus ride home but then I guess the salsa is there to moisten the meat a little but I think I just like fattier bits yummy

Best carnitas I have found in the Bay Area. Simply wonderful. Their hot sauce is amazing as well.

Very good carnitas. Nothing fancy, just tasty and the right texture. The regular burrito is at least 75% carnitas (maybe more). They have their own parking lot which makes parking easy. However, they are kind of laid back so bring something to read while you wait for your order. Not a fast food place. And their prices are lower than others for better quality carnitas. I guess I would still get a burrito here if they increase their prices, but I would enjoy it a little bit less.

Your combo is a scam without supplying the basic sides that should come with it automatically….. No onions no cilantro no lime .but was given a chunk of carnitas that I requested to be cut and a cup of beans that was Very watery. Just watched my buddy waste his money expecting much more then what we received. We try calling the restaurant and the lady denied my complaint on my order. Will not order or recommend to anyone.

I went to buy a 3-pack to have lunch at the Redwood city branch, it always takes them to take the order and much longer to deliver the order, they finally delivered it to me and I requested my money back because there was no product that I wanted “habanera sauce” it’s the only good sauce they have there, they didn’t refund the additional money because the “cashier” got upset and started yelling at me instead of giving me a solution they kept my money and I didn’t have what I had paid (I wanted to buy the sauce)
