About

A Todos Santos Sunday institution, El Carnitas Man sets up at the corner of Topete and Hidalgo every week with massive copper cazo pots slow-cooking Michoacán-style carnitas over wood fire. Whole pig is rendered to crackling perfection — crispy exterior, impossibly juicy interior — and served by the kilo with fresh tortillas, salsa verde, pickled jalapeños, and onion. Locals queue early; the best cuts are gone by noon. Pure, unapologetic tradition in the heart of the historic center.
