Carnitas California Menu
Welcome to Carnitas California, a hidden gem located in the heart of Denver’s Southwest neighborhood. This local eatery specializes in authentic Mexican cuisine, delighting diners with generous portions and vibrant flavors. With rave reviews from patrons like Tyler Washburne, who found the breakfast burrito exceptional, and Nick Spiess highlighting the must-try flautas, it's clear that the menu is crafted with care.
Each dish is a celebration of fresh ingredients, as noted by Jimmy Flores and Denver 303, who appreciate the quality and friendly service. The California Burrito special is a standout, combining steak, rice, and beans, all smothered in savory green chile. Paired with crispy chips and flavorful salsas, the meal offers a delightful experience. Despite its tucked-away location, Carnitas California is a place worth seeking out for those who crave robust flavors and a warm atmosphere.
