Frequently Asked Questions

What specific cuts of carnitas can guests request when ordering by the pound?

Guests can tailor their by-the-pound carnitas order to their preference, choosing between maciza (lean pork shoulder meat), cuerito (tender pork skin), costilla (ribs), or a mixed combination served alongside warm corn tortillas, salsas, and fresh lime.

Which menu items are strictly available on specific days of the week?

Carnitas Don Pedro features several rotated specials: Chicharron De Lonja (thick-cut pork belly) is served on Wednesdays and Fridays, while Barbacoa De Res, Birria De Chivo, and Menudo (available in 32oz to 128oz tubs) are weekend exclusives served Friday through Sunday.

How does ordering carnitas by the pound work for groups?

Ordering by the pound ($13.99/lb for carnitas) is designed for family-style sharing. A half-pound to a pound easily feeds 1–2 people and typically comes packed with warm corn tortillas, diced onions, chopped cilantro, pickled jalapeños, and house salsas.

Are there gluten-free or vegetarian items available on the menu?

Yes. Nearly all meat dishes (carnitas, barbacoa, birria) and traditional corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free. For vegetarian diners, options include the Ensalada De Nopales (cactus salad tossed with tomatoes and lime), Guacamole ($4.99), Mexican rice (Arroz), and refried beans (Frijoles).

Does Carnitas Don Pedro offer large-format takeout options for soups and stews?

Yes, the restaurant specializes in large-scale takeout options for weekend soups. Menudo can be purchased in 32oz ($9.99), 64oz ($15.99), and massive 128oz ($29.99) containers, making it ideal for home gatherings or weekend celebrations.
