What are carnitas?
What are Carnitas? Possibly the best pork dish in the world: there is poetry in the huge pot where the meat is slowly braising in its own lard. A slice of paradise: meltingly soft and perfectly crispy meat that only needs to be wrapped in a tortilla, with a squeeze of lime, your favourite salsa and nothing else.
Sold by weight, choose between “maciza” (leaner meat) or “surtida” (mixed cuts like maw, finds, cheek and tongue)
Menu
Carnitas by weight
Every order is served with tortillas (20 pieces), 1 green salsa and pico de gallo with Jalapeños. Just delicious.
Carnitas, literally meaning “little meats”, is a dish of Mexican cuisine that originated in the state of Michoacán. Carnitas are made by braising or simmering pork in oil or preferably lard until tender. The process takes three to four hours, and the result is very rich and juicy meat with loads of crispy golden bits. It is then typically served with chopped cilantro, diced onion, salsa, guacamole, tortillas, and refried beans (frijoles refritos).

Chamorro | Pork Shank (~650gr)
$57.99Comes with tortillas (20 pieces), 1 green salsa, and pico de gallo with Jalapeños. Just delicious. The chamorro is the part of the pig’s leg that is just behind and below the knee. It is a very tender part, hence when it arrives at your table it looks juicy and ready to be accompanied by some warm tortillas. Our chamorro is a more than abundant portion and has a flavour that in the end will make you lick your fingers: tender meat that literally melts with the pure contact of the fork and that is served with tortillas, onion, cilantro, lime and sauce. Yummy.
Refried Beans 1/2 kg
$7.99WHY ARE THEY CALLED REFRIED BEANS? “Refried” doesn’t mean the beans have been fried twice. The word comes from the Spanish name for the dish—frijoles refritos. In Spanish “refritos” means “well fried”. To make the beans you have to cook them in water first to soften them. Then you fry them in a pot or skillet with fat and seasonings.
Tortillas (20 pieces)
$5.99A tortilla (/tɔːrˈtiːə/, Spanish: [toɾˈtiʎa]) is a flat, circular and typical food, similar to a thin flatbread, usually made from nixtamalized corn or wheat flour. The Aztecs and other Nahuatl speakers called tortillas tlaxcalli ([t͡ɬaʃˈkalli]). First made by the indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica before colonization, tortillas are a fundamental part of the cuisines of many countries of the American continent. The origin of the corn tortilla in Mesoamerica dates back to before 500 BC. A nopaltilla is a cactus-corn tortilla. A good taco with out tortilla is not taco.
Bolillos
$ 2.75A bolillo (Spanish pronunciation: [boˈliʝo]) or pan francés (meaning “French bread”) is a type of savory bread traditionally made in Mexico, but also made in Central America. It is a variation of the baguette, but shorter in length and is often baked in a stone oven. Brought to Mexico City in the 1860s by Emperor Maximilian’s troupe of cooks, its use quickly spread throughout the country.
Guacamole
$8.50Guacamole is a Spanish word that’s based on the Aztec language Nahuatl’s ahuaca-molli, a combination of ahuacatl, “avocado,” and molli, “sauce.” In the United States, guacamole has surged in popularity over the last several decades, with avocados especially in demand right before Super Bowl Sunday and Cinco de Mayo.
Pan de Elote | Corn Bread
$ 8.50As you can imagine, this bread is originally from Mexico, and it is not a surprise, since our country has more than 60 native species of corn. But it was not until viceregal times that this dessert began to be made. With the arrival of the Spaniards, a pastry tradition was introduced that would be enriched with foods found in Mexican territory, including corn. This is how corn bread emerged, being a Creole dessert: made with original ingredients, but with European technique.

What people say
Ordered the carnitas tacos and the baguette off UberEats. The portion of carnitas that come with each dish is MASSIVE! There is at least 250g of carnitas per dish. The carnitas was very juicy and have bits of pork fat imbedded for extra juiciest and flavour. My only wish was the carnitas was pan fried a bit to add some crispness.

The best And authentic carnitas I have tried in Vancouver. This is the real And traditional flavor of Michoacan. It took me more than one hour to get there, it totally worth it. Thanks Carnitas El Rolys¡!
Berenice Vega
Best carnitas ever! Seriously the best – we’ve brought them to parties and everyone is a fan! Delicious and juicy meat and the sauces are excellent as well. Also just tried the chilaquilles today and they were incredible as well.

I am from Mexico and I have the best memories of my Dad bringing carnitas every Sunday for lunch… this place reminds me of those weekends with my family. It has the most authentic, delicious, fresh carnitas ever! The kitchen is spotless, the quality is great… if you are looking for good REAL Mexican food (including warm, friendly service) this is the place to go!
