Overview

Carnitas Don Trini e Hijos stands as a genuine emblem of traditional Mexican cuisine nestled in the heart of Álvaro Obregón, Ciudad de México. Specializing in expertly crafted carnitas, this taco restaurant excels at delivering an authentic taste experience that honors the rich heritage of pork preparation.

The main attraction here is, without a doubt, their carnitas—a succulent blend of tender pork cuts slow-cooked to perfection, served either in tacos or by the kilo for those who want to savor it at home. The option of mixing different pork parts such as maciza, buche, trompa, and surtido offers a nuanced depth in flavor and texture, satisfying diverse palates. Each taco is wrapped in a warm, hand-pressed corn tortilla, a fundamental element that complements the rich meat without overpowering it.

Beyond tacos, the menu features traditional regional dishes such as birria de borrego, pozole, and mixiote—all prepared with fresh, authentic ingredients and robust spices. These plates enrich the dining experience for visitors looking to explore Mexican gastronomy more broadly.

The location at Av. Sta. Lucia 135 situates Carnitas Don Trini e Hijos conveniently within Olivar del Conde, making it accessible for both locals and gastronomic travelers. The space is unpretentious, focusing attention on what matters most: the food and the conviviality that often accompanies enjoying tacos in Mexico City. It caters well to families, groups of friends, and anyone longing for a casual, flavorful meal steeped in tradition.

What separates Carnitas Don Trini e Hijos from many other taquerías is the respect for classic preparation methods paired with a community-friendly atmosphere. Whether you stop by for a quick taco or order carnitas by the kilo to share, the quality and authenticity shine through, making it a must-visit for anyone eager to connect with the heart of Mexican street food culture.

The meat is excellent, although the last time I went (about two weeks ago) I felt the prices had gone up a lot and the tacos weren't as full of meat as before. But they're really worth it for the great taste and good service.

Pretty good, they just need the Nana and the brain quesadillas, good prices and I would add a better salsa like the ones from Los Abanicos...

The best carnitas in the world I've been eating them since I was a kid, and they never lose their flavor. I love them; you definitely have to try them, and you'll never want to eat any other carnitas. I recommend the Chicalada tacos

This place stands out among my favorite carnitas' places in México city. The carnitas, achicalada, cueritos are superb ! The salsas are rich and spicy. The service is friendly. The prices are affordable. Try to go early on weekends; The place can be full and they can run out of carnitas. .

The carnitas are excellent, the service is good, but it's one of those places where the atmosphere feels a bit subdued. It's not the kind of place for laughter or drunken revelry, but it's a pleasant place to be while enjoying your tacos or other food. The food is truly amazing, and the salsas are delicious.

8/10 ⭐ Good carnitas at a good price. I feel like the salsas are lacking; they don't add much to the taco's flavor. Get there early, it fills up, and it dwindles.
