If you’re looking for the best carnitas in the Phoenix metro area, Carnitas Michoacanas in Old Town Avondale is the place to go! I ordered 1 pound of carnitas mixtas, and they were absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of authentic Michoacán flavor. The meal came with fresh tortillas, salsas, pico de gallo, and guacamole, making every bite even better.
The owner was incredibly kind and even gave me a tour of the kitchen, which was spotless—just like the rest of the restaurant. The passion and dedication to quality are evident in every detail. Having been to Michoacán, I can confidently say these carnitas reminded me of the famous ones in Uruapan—truly top-notch!
Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving authentic, mouthwatering carnitas. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Came in on accident looking for the panadería next door, gentleman at the front was very nice and still gave us a taco for free with instructions on where the panadería is. Probably the best taco I’ve had in a really long time, will definitely be coming back to buy carne

The restaurant was really clean the service was great. The carnitas were delicious not greasy, the carnitas were tender and moist. I did feel that the carnitas were a little bland nothing that a little salt wouldn’t fix. I truly appreciated how fresh all the toppings were and how they individually packed the cilantro, onions and sauces. It was nice to receive whole key limes and tortillas with the order.

The Barbacoa Taco was my favorite but the Carnitas were to die for! The owner of the establishment was so very kind and welcoming! I will be returning with my family again!

Family-owned gem serving authentic Michoacán-style tacos! Clean restaurant with friendly service, though a bit hard to find (corner of strip mall with no building sign).
Had carnitas and barbacoa tacos – generous meat portions, delicious tortillas, and excellent salsa selection. The pickled jalapeños were perfectly salty. These are honestly the best tacos I’ve had in Phoenix! The ribs looked amazing too – definitely coming back to try other meats. Truly authentic flavors that transport you to Michoacán.
Highly recommend – worth seeking out!
