Go for the Carnitas

What else would you order at Carnitas Michoacan but carnitas, either in burritos or tacos or on a combination plate with beans and rice. Corn tortillas, a container of salsa and plump radishes come with the combination, and you can also order a Mexican drink such as horchata, tamarindo or jamaica.

Just north of downtown Los Angeles, Carnitas Michoacan has a large parking lot, which makes takeout convenient, and an enclosed airy dining area with hanging plants, brightly painted booths and a jukebox loaded with Latino music in case you want to eat there.
