Phenomenal CARNITAS!!! Absolutely one of my favorite places to eat or pick up!! #1 Carnitas around, everything is so tasty. It’s hard to resist trying all their dishes. Don’t mistake it for the other Don Alfredo’s, this original location is on the CORNER of 25th Ave & Lake St

We drove by here on the way somewhere and noticed this on the side of a gas station. I had a craving for tacos and looked up reviews and read how good the food was so we stopped in to get carry-out. We got carnitas tacos and asada burritos. Rosie was very friendly and helpful! Both items were so good!

I love eating at the Original Don Alfredo since they opened 15 years ago, it’s my go-to for carnitas, and they never disappoint. The food is as authentic as when I travel south of the border. The service is exceptional, the staff is hospitable if I could give it 6 stars I would l!!
