Carnitas Michoacanas Leoncito

About
Carnitas Michoacanas Leoncito does one thing above all: Michoacán-style carnitas, prepared daily and sold by the kilo or folded into tacos. The counter runs through the full range of cuts, from maciza and costilla to cuerito, oreja, buche, and a surtido mix for the undecided. Beyond the namesake pork, the menu covers tacos al pastor, tortas, quesadillas, and quesabirria, backed by cold beer, micheladas, and Mexican desserts. Part butcher shop, part restaurant, the Saint-Zotique original near Beaubien metro sits at the edge of Little Italy and doubles as a gathering spot, with live music spilling onto the sidewalk on big occasions. A second location operates on Jean-Talon Est, and delivery is available.
