“ The best carnitas and pozole available, possibly anywhere! Not easy to find but seriously worth it! Just ask the locals, and Thursday is a perfect time to go. We're back!! Thursday Nov 8th(mi cumpleanos) and I get to have THE best carnitas ever for my birthday! What a treat! Do yourself a favor and make it to Santa Priscas on any Thursday and get the carnitas, you will thank me. April 2019 Once again the best of carnitas, don't miss it! ”

“ Fantastic experience! Recommended by several locals, this did not disappoint. We enjoyed both the pozole verde and rojo while drinking micheladas and listening to the live music. One of the best we’ve tasted! The pre-pozole snacks were fantastic as well - they serve a platter with taquitos, chiles rellenos (omg so good!), chicharron and a few other bites. Awesome quality, great atmosphere, and a superb value. Wish we lived closer- we’d be weekly visitors! ”
“ Restaurant was packed , staff were running and food was delicious. The band, Juanito Zihua was excellent. ”
