“ Epic is an understatement!!! After first discovering Carnitas at TryFest a couple of years ago, then dining in the restaurant a number of times since, we were thrilled to have them join us on our wedding day. They served bottomless punchy frozen margaritas after dinner which really got the party started! Then stuffed our guests with hot, sticky, crispy tacos and nachos before bed. Matt’s passion and energy is totally infectious - from start to finish it’s been so fun to work with him. The quality on the day was unreal and we hugely appreciated their big party vibes ”

Burritos and side dishes were also delicious and everything is graded in spice so you can find your perfect level. Drinks options are also great. No Mexican Coca Cola when we went but plenty of other nice options. ”
