The food is stunning & has a truly authentic Mexican flavor that reminds me of home. Unfortunately, one disappointing aspect-just like back home-is the lack of reliability with the opening hours. On two occasions, I visited during the posted business hours, & one location was closed. At another location, I arrived & was told it would take 40 minutes before they could serve me. It's unfortunate that such amazing food is not matched by the same level of service.

Resto ne respectant aucunement l'ambiance tranquille de la Petite Italie. Pollution sonore à son meilleur. Fermez votre porte patio & respectez les résidents.

Très bonne nourriture chez Carnitas Michoacanas, service très rapide, nourriture chaude & accompagnements piquants. De plus c'est assez spacieux & bien décoré. Staff chaleureux & accueillant. Merci à la serveuse on a jamais su son nom mais elle mérite une augmentation salariale.
