The staff are very friendly, and even gave me a generous sample of one of their fabulous quesadillas as my order was prepared. The Spanish definition of Carnitas is "little meats". This is legendary, ubiquitous street food served from vendor carts all over Mexico and the American Southwest. I may be wrong, but I suspect that this cultural mainstay had a direct influence on the evolution of fajitas and possibly, in part, American pulled pork.

Carnitas (the word translates as "little meats") are wonderful morsels of boiled/fried pork that are crispy on the outside and chewy-tender on the inside. In Mexico, they are traditionally cooked outside in huge copper or stainless steel pots over an open fire, but this smaller version is easy to make at home on a regular stove, making it much more practical for the everyday home cook. Carnitas is a Mexican dish where pork is cut into large chunks then slow cooked with citrus, onions and spices. After the meat is fall-apart tender, it gets broiled for a crispy exterior. Carnitas is traditionally served on its own with a side of tortillas, or as a filling to any number of Mexican dishes.
