Pharr, Texas
Real carnitas, slow-cooked the way they taught us in Michoacán — with love, patience, and the finest ingredients.
Our Story
At Carnitas Michoacán, every dish tells a story that stretches back generations. Our recipes come straight from the heart of Michoacán, Mexico — where cooking carnitas is both an art and a way of life.
We slow-cook our pork in lard until it falls apart at the touch, just like abuela used to make. Then we serve it on hand-rolled tortillas with fresh ingredients from local markets. That's the Michoacán way — and it's what brings our neighbors back again and again.

Why We're Different
Our carnitas simmer for hours in traditional copper pots. There's no shortcut to that kind of flavor — and we won't take one.
We source produce from local farms and markets every morning. If it's not fresh today, it doesn't make it onto your plate.
Whether it's a quick lunch or a Sunday dinner with the whole family, our doors are open and our hospitality is warm.
