Best barbacoa and carnitas, however they run out to soon on the carnitas (9am). Hope they adjust their production levels and make more, disappointed when it’s 9am and they’re sold out

I bought some Barbacoa from here to make some Barbacoa tacos and they were so nice and friendly. They have so many items at this little market that are niche. I would definitely check it out!!!
