Carnitas el viejon 26

This place is the best. They have pork shoulder, ear, rind, and stomach. The mixed option is a 10/10. If you just want traditional meat, just shoulder is good too. Tacos are 3 for 15. I hate this price standard at every other taco spot I’ve tried in NYC, but I have absolutely no problem with it at this place. Portions are generous and it’s absolutely delicious. You can also buy meat for $20/lb.

Excellent taco truck specializing in carnitas. Big fan of the mixed one but they also have a pork shoulder one if you’re not into the other parts. Very generous portions and there’s a variety of topping/sauces you can add on top! Quick service and there’s some seating outside if you want to dig in right away. It’s the perfect snack before grocery shopping or after!

The real deal. Yes it's $5 per taco but you get a lot of meat. Good spicy pickles and salsa. Every New Yorker should try it once.

Tied for best pork tacos in NYC alongside Carnitas Ramirez. I would highly recommend - very nice staff as well!

This is a hard review for me to write. I was taken aback at the tacos being $5 a piece, but it was a very loaded taco with lots of meat so maybe I understand the high price. The carnitas were also very authentic. They make it the real way which is to cook the pork in its own fat. So delicious. The biggest issue I had is that they only gave me one tortilla which causes the taco to fall apart as you eat it. This is a major design flaw and if they fix it this could be one of the best tacos in the area.
