Carnitas Mexican Grill

My friends and I love Caritas Taco Tuesdays! Look for us out on the patio in the summer or in the corner booth in the winter (we're the one's having all the fun!). The only place I know that you can get two tacos and a beer for under $10.00 including your share of the tip!

Carnitas has good prices, but their food is a little bland. I ordered a combination that included a taco, enchilada, rice and beans. While the meal was under $10, I felt like I had to dump salsa on everything to give it a little flavor.

Salsitas is a corner Mexican restaurant near the Birch Street Promenade in Brea. The full-panel glass windows and neon lights attracted us in- very cool environment atypical of Mexican joints. The menu was fairly boring- aside from some egg dishes, there wasn't much that was new or special. I was disappointed in my fajita salad- it was mostly iceburg lettuce and green bell peppers. My companions did think the fajitas were pretty good, but not remarkable. They do make their own flour and corn tortillas, which were tasty. The dessert were fair but again, nothing remarkable. 3 stars- if you are hungry after the movie, come on over, but don't make plans around this place.
