Herriman Carnitas

Let’s be clear: this place does not believe in being skimpy. There’s plenty to eat. The carnitas are the star for good reason—rich, tender, and deeply seasoned, with that elusive melt-in-your-mouth texture that only comes from patience and knowing exactly what you’re doing. No dryness. No shortcuts. Just proper carnitas, done right. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this operation is run with family pride. Friendly, welcoming, and genuinely grateful for your business. We tried the carnitas tacos, asada torta, and a smothered asada burrito, and every plate delivered. The asada was juicy, the torta balanced and hearty, and the burrito was generously filled and unapologetically satisfying. Portions are substantial without feeling sloppy. Everything tastes freshly made, thoughtfull

I ordered the carnitas for about $14.00. The meat portion was huge (enough for 2 people) and very moist. The refried beans were creamy. The staff was helpful and, cheerful. The restaurant was super clean. I highly recommend it.

We tried the carnitas and cabeza tacos and they were so good! They were also starting to sell tamales today, so of course we had to get that too! Very friendly, helpful staff. Highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic in every way! The space is so clean and inviting and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure you’re taken care of! The Carnitas are the best that I have had anywhere and the portions are massive. My entire family has already asked to go back. We have a few events coming up and I am 100% taking advantage of having this incredible option so close to us!

First thing that struck me about this place was the hours, open early and closes when they run out. You only see that type of selectivity in Michelin star level restaurants which is why Del Taco is 24hrs. When I walked in, I knew I made the right decision because the menu was focused and the building itself didn't distract you with anything besides the aroma coming from the kitchen. Juicy, savory, tender fall of the bone carnitas. Perfectly seasoned, cooked to perfection, melt in your mouth "tendernism". Fluffy rice, flagrant tortillas, savory beans, but the salsa takes the cake, it's sweet, tangy, citrusy, with a hint of spice that contrasts perfectly with the meaty carnitas. I honestly forgot what good carnitas tasted like before I came here. This type of quality is only achieved whe
