So delicious!! The carnitas were the best. We ordered a quesadilla moreliana, tacos de carnitas and a torta de carnitas. All were so good!! Will be returning to try out more of the menu-

The food here was amazing! Definitely a place I want to take people to show off Texas. Place was really clean and there was good parking. Staff was super friendly and chill :)

This place is across the street from the San Antonio Museum of Art. After visiting the museum, I was looking for a place to have a quick bite before I got back on the Hop on Hop Off trolley. Since I am in Texas, I wouldn't have Italian food, which I could have any time in NJ. I don't usually eat pork, and I am very sensitive to the scent/flavor of meat. This place only has pork, as you can see in its name. I had a taco Moreliana with Brazuelo(shoulder) meat. It was good. The meat was prepared right--no strange flavor, lean and soft. If you ever visit the SAMA, stop by and have a bite! Now I feel bad that I didn't take a picture.

Wonderful service, fresh and delicious food. My family is from Michoacán and it takes me back! The salsa and fixing bar is chilled and replenished frequently. The carne is flavored deliciously and everything was hot and fresh. The place was very clean and had ample seating. Can't wait to bring my family when they are in town.

There's a reason this place has a long line at almost all hours -- and you want to wait in it, promise. Portion sizes are insane (yes, one taco is enough for a meal!), flavor is off the charts, and service is spectacular.

I absolutely love Carnita's Don Raul!! I've been supporting them since they were in the food truck! I'm thrilled they have a brick and mortar location with plenty of seating and lovely music! I always get the quesadilla Moreliano because I'm addicted to it! But today I opted for the chilaquiles and my goodness, they did not disappoint either! The service and food are always perfection! Please treat yourself and head their way ASAP!

When i first took a bite of a taco de carnitas from Carnitas Don Raul, i was instantly transported back to Querétaro, Mexico in the summer of 95'. I thought of Hortencia and her lovely flower print summer dress the one she would scold me all summer long for ruining. The salsa from Carnitas Don Raul held a plethora of flavors that went along with each savory bite. And to top it all off, a Mexican Coke done right. In other words...this place is legit.

Is there an option for 10 stars?! Establishment is pristine, service was friendly and efficient. Gentleman taking our order took the time to review the options and explain the difference between them. Great spot for lunch date, breakfast or grabbing something for a quick amazing dinner at home. They had delicious drink options both with and without the poison. Food. I'll be completely honest and tell you carnitas is not my first choice...BUT I had never had anything close to this. It was incredible. Simple and delicious without being over dressed or over seasoned. RUN DON'T walk to this place!

Holy crap this place is insane. I am a huge carnitas lover and I have only been to one other place here in sa that has good carnitas, but this has got to be my new favorite. Plus, lucky for me this spot is just down the road from my apartment. If you're ever in the downtown/pearl area you have to check this spot out. I ordered the torta moreliana w carnitas and the crispy quesadilla moreliana w carnitas as well. One thing I liked about this place is that they asked me if I would prefer lean meat or not which I appreciated because I do prefer my carnitas on the leaner side. Mann, let me tell you both of those food items were incredible. There were so many different flavors that explode in your mouth when you take that first bite of the torta and the meat was seasoned perfectly, and had the perfect amount of flavor not too salty. I tried both salsas red and green and I but i almost always prefer green. Both salsas were good and had a nice kick but were not overly spicy. Service was great I was in and out fairly quickly. I just wish there was a bit more parking however it was not an issue I found a spot on the street.

New location means time for a new review! Yes, you heard that right! Carnitas Don Raul has a new location and you have to check it out. This amazing business recently made the move from a food truck to a brick and mortar, and I couldn't be happier for them. Carnitas Don Raul has been serving the most delicious carnitas in the city for the last 5 years. Their new location is just across from the San Antonio Museum of Art with plenty of parking around the area. They are still serving their delicious carnita classic, with some new additions like the gringas (quesadillas with cheese and carnitas). They now have a license to sell alcohol, and serve a wide range of beer, tequila and mezcal. In case you've never been here before I highly recommend you to watch their episode on Netflix's docu-series The Taco Chronicles, in which Carnitas Don Raul was highlighted. After watching it you will have a higher appreciation of their craft and what they are serving, My go-to order is always de taco a la moreliana using maciza. I also recommend their classic quesadilla with carnitas. I promise you've never had anything like that at any other restaurant before! If you haven't already, give this amazing business a chance and check them out.
