| - My best friend was coming to town so I wanted to take her to a good Mexican restaurant. After reviewing multiple places on Yelp, La Carnita seemed like the best choice. I do not regret it at all because this place had fantastic food and drinks.
If you're coming for dinner, make reservations! This place gets busy and you may have to wait if you want to get a seat. I love how the restaurant was more narrow than long, but it does have a good amount of seating. The restaurant itself had a great vibe because of the wall decorations, the open bar, and the loud sound level.
To start, we ordered the Tortilla Chips and the Mexican Meatballs. I highly recommend the chips because they give huge amounts!
This was my first time really eating at a Mexican restaurant, so do not be like me and order 5 tacos....I was full after two but greedy me felt that I needed to eat more. The portion of each taco was large so I was able to understand why it was on the pricey side. If you order two tacos and a drink, it should cost less than $20. These tacos were so delicious and tasted extremely fresh. I loved the soft shells and how all the ingredients blended so well together. I ordered the:
1. In Cod We Trust: Best fish taco hands down.
2. Pollo Frito: This is amazing, you must get this! The chicken was so moist and had incredible flavour.
3. Crispy Cotija: Deep fried cheese, what more can you ask for? This had a really nice texture to it because the cheese itself was very crispy.
4. Carnita: Shredded pork. This was really good as well.
We ordered two drinks, sorry I don't remember the names but they were delicious and creative!
