Let’s be clear: this place does not believe in being skimpy. There’s plenty to eat.
The carnitas are the star for good reason—rich, tender, and deeply seasoned, with that elusive melt-in-your-mouth texture that only comes from patience and knowing exactly what you’re doing. No dryness. No shortcuts. Just proper carnitas, done right.
From the moment you walk in, you can tell this operation is run with family pride. Friendly, welcoming, and genuinely grateful for your business.
We tried the carnitas tacos, asada torta, and a smothered asada burrito, and every plate delivered. The asada was juicy, the torta balanced and hearty, and the burrito was generously filled and unapologetically satisfying. Portions are substantial without feeling sloppy.
Everything tastes freshly made, thoughtfully prepared, and rooted in tradition rather than trend. You can tell the recipes matter here.
If you’re anywhere near Herriman and craving authentic, comforting Mexican food with real flavor and real portions, this place deserves a spot in your regular rotation. It’s not trying to be flashy—it’s just quietly excellent.
Highly recommended.

I ordered the carnitas for about $14.00. The meat portion was huge (enough for 2 people) and very moist. The refried beans were creamy.
The staff was helpful and, cheerful. The restaurant was super clean.
I highly recommend it.

We tried the carnitas and cabeza tacos and they were so good! They were also starting to sell tamales today, so of course we had to get that too! Very friendly, helpful staff. Highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic in every way! The space is so clean and inviting and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure you’re taken care of!
The Carnitas are the best that I have had anywhere and the portions are massive. My entire family has already asked to go back. We have a few events coming up and I am 100% taking advantage of having this incredible option so close to us!

First thing that struck me about this place was the hours, open early and closes when they run out. You only see that type of selectivity in Michelin star level restaurants which is why Del Taco is 24hrs.
When I walked in, I knew I made the right decision because the menu was focused and the building itself didn’t distract you with anything besides the aroma coming from the kitchen.
Juicy, savory, tender fall of the bone carnitas. Perfectly seasoned, cooked to perfection, melt in your mouth “tendernism”.
Fluffy rice, flagrant tortillas, savory beans, but the salsa takes the cake, it’s sweet, tangy, citrusy, with a hint of spice that contrasts perfectly with the meaty carnitas.
I honestly forgot what good carnitas tasted like before I came here. This type of quality is only achieved when the goal is to show people your roots and culture through food. When I tasted the food, I envisioned I was a kid in Michoacan waking up to the smell of fresh handmade tortillas and carnitas cooking before church service counting the minutes before Sunday dinner, which is crazy because I’m 100% Samoan and only been to TJ for tacos and Cancun for partying.
Shout out to the staff too, everyone who I interacted with was eager to show me their product which only happens when someone has pride in their work. It shows in the food, hands down best carnitas I’ve ever had.

Loved this place. Finest Carnitas in Utah without a doubt. The owner comes in at 2 AM to start the food for the day and it really shows. Great atmosphere as well. I would highly recommend trying Herriman Carnitas!

First time visit and we will definitely be back. We ordered a burrito, three tacos, and sides of rice and beans. The carnitas that filled our burritos and tacos was melt-in-your-mouth tender. The flavor was the best we have ever had. The amount of meat in each was impressive; we were able to enjoy a second meal because their portions are so big. The pico is very tasty, and I like that a large slice of lime is included, nice touch that adds to the flavor. We were told they might have days when they close early because they have sold out of the yummy carnitas. Make sure to get there early so you don’t miss out. Every employee we interacted with was extremely friendly, looked us in the eye during all conversations, and thanked us for our business, well done. It’s nice to have employees that enjoy their job and enjoy their customers. Made us feel very welcome. You should definitely add Herriman Carnitas to your next outing. You won’t be disappointed!
