After realizing la carnita opened up a new location right next door, I jumped at the most immediate opportunity to try it out. I've been to the original location on college and have experienced the infamous wait times so I was pleasantly surprised that this location consists of 2 stories, is MUCH bigger and no lineup!
I tried their Mexican sweet corn for the first time and thought the corn was SO sweet and juicy and perfectly charred. I've never tried dressed up corn on the Cobb before and liked the play on flavours - party in your mouth!
The tacos on the other hand were a bit of different story... the beef cheek and the carnita (pork) and felt that they were excessively saucy and the tortillas were just limp and inspiring.. The cod tacos that came next were better as anything with lots of pickled cabbage wins my vote.
My main complaint is that the tacos are tiny!! After downing a whole thing of corn + 2 tacos which is almost $20 pp including tax and tips, I left the place still hungry and ended up having a second dinner. I feel like the average person will need at least 4 tacos each to feel full.
The service was excellent and very attentive and so I think I'll be back again sometime as I'm a sucker for Mexican food and this is such a convenient location. But maybe some improvements on the tacos please?
