#53 - carnitas at nopalito, done and done



the pork was cooked and caramelized to perfection with some nice slightly crisp edges but mostly soft and succulent.  not super greasy with loads of flavor in each bite.  it's served with cole slaw, green salsa and fresh house made tortillas.  one thing i will say that we arrived around 8 for dinner and they had at least an hour wait to be seated so call ahead and get reservations or do what we did and step over to the side door and order your meal to go.  since we were there for a concert we couldn't very well head home to eat so we sat inside the grocery store that is next door and ate since they had tables and chairs (don't worry i bought 20 bucks worth of food there too).  too bad this place isn't closer to my house so i could enjoy this more often but i guess it's a good thing it's not.

random but i found a shirley temple in a bottle at the grocery store where we ate, i had no clue anyone sold it already mixed and in a bottle.
