This is a Carnitas restaurant Where you can dine in or take away. But no deli. So you could get 2 lbs carnitas for a dinner. Closed on Tuesdays. Right across from the VA Hospital. Maybe next time.

Best carnitas around. Affordable and delicious. To bad they close early. Would be nice to be able to go there for dinner.

Food is awesome!! The service is really nice too. They have a cart where you can get cilantro and lemons and everything. You get your food quickly too. I just recommend you get here early because it gets packed quickly

La Yoca has become a favorite spot of mine. Their handmade tortillas are always a hit, and their chili oil and salsas are delicious. This time, I tried their birria, and it was amazing. I even dipped the Carnita tacos in the consome, which added to the fantastic flavors. The service here is always quick, even during busy mornings. I enjoy the lively atmosphere and seeing so many people early in the day for tacos. I'll definitely be back many times--I love this place! If you're looking for great tacos, give La Yoca a try.

So I've seen this place for 5+ years and didn't stop in. I always noticed it was busy and crowded, but didn't make an effort to go. I tried on Easter, but they were closed. I went today and understand why the place is packed. There's a north dirt parking lot so that's an option if you can't or don't want to get into the parking lots closest to the business. There's some parking in the front and some behind, beyond the chain link gate. So like Tucson Foodie mentions, leave your vegetarian friends at home in a March 5th, 2020 article. The menu is very simple offering only meats beef or pork in various forms. I opted for the carnitas taco and plato de cabeza. I've had cabeza tacos plenty of times, but this was the 1st time I've had served in a broth. It was awesome. The meat was tender and flavorful. The meat was an amazing consistency. I couldn't come to a place with carnitas in the name and not try it. The carnitas were great, but if I could only order 1 thing next time it would be the cabeza or the birria. Didn't try the birria, but it looked awesome. The service is fast and friendly counter service. The line is long, but it moves fast. The place simple and functional. This place is great, go if you want amazing Mexican pork and beef.

This is probably one of the most delicious carnitas tacos I've had! Home made tortillas, fresh produce, orders are ready quick and the customer service was great. I had the carnitas mixtas and a cabeza taco... the carnitas was my favorite! The only thing I wish they had were some chiles asados! But definitely recommend!

While driving down 6th ave south of the i-10 on a whim, I noticed this place with a full parking lot. Once inside, I see people scanning for free tables and a line almost out the door. English is not a primary language at the counter but that didn't slow anyone down. I ordered 1/2lb of carnitas and wow, just wow. It comes with a red sauce that was smoky and full of flavor.

The first thing to know about this place are the limited hours: they are closed Mon and Tues, and the other days they close by 3:30pm. I came around 1pm on a Fri and the place was not packed, but there was a steady stream of customers and with a live mariachi accordionist it was a bit loud indoors (if you choose to dine in). I ordered 5 tacos to go, one of each flavor except carnitas (since I knew I'd probably come back another day and buy the 1/2 lb or 1 lb option anyway). At $2.20 per taco, it was definitely a steal for a total of $13. The service was quick, and I got my order within about 5 minutes. If you are ok with the more "unusual" cuts of meat (head meat, offal aka organ meat, etc) then this is a must visit place. I am not too familiar with them separately, so could not differentiate which taco was which. However, I enjoyed them all; each was quite flavorful. I told myself I'd eat only half my tacos since I wasn't too hungry to begin with, but before I knew it, they were all gone! Half an hour later, my stomach was crying in pain from being overstuffed, but my taste buds were still longing for more...the tortillas themselves are also soft and tasted fresh, soaking up the delicious meat juices. Even if you don't know if you like a particular "unusual" type of meat, I highly recommend you try it. If not, there are still more traditional options like the carnitas, which I plan to try next!
