Review: Carnitas El Momo in Boyle Heights serves pork in its most perfect form

I feel like I shouldn’t have eaten here, but DAMN that meat is good. 1st time going.

Is Carnitas El Momo opening a brick and mortar at Moon Baby’s Liquor in Monterey Park? We passed by there yesterday and my wife noticed some sign with the word “momo”. Their instagram seems to indicate as much but it’s not confirmed.

Plus, that post references another brick and mortar that seems like it was in that location until 2020 so maybe they’re taking over the space…?

Not a taco! It’s a mulita kinda a taco-quesadilla hybrid

I’ve just looked and looked and can’t find a pic of something a little similar that we get at our fave Mexican place in Seattle. So good.

Do they still offer the migajas at the store?

That is one of the best bites of pork in LA

If it’s a mom n pop place they can probably make one for you -can’t hurt to ask

It is and they seem to give us “favored nation” status. I’ll show them this. Thanks again.
