These nachos are the best! Open late and always tasty. They can get really busy on weekend nights. My parents have been coming here for nachos for 30 years and I'm keeping it going.

We came here on a Friday night and I was told this was one of the better taco spots in the area. It's great as a late night spot because it's open 24/7. They have a very small parking lot with street parking outside. Walk up to the window to order and then get your food at the pick-up window. We ordered asada ($2.28) and al pastor ($2.08) tacos which were pretty good sized and came with onions, cilantro, and salsa. Between the two I preferred the al pastor since it was fatty. The salsa was very spicy and just a little too spicy for my liking. I liked that they had a good amount of seating and tables so you're not just eating at or in your car. They are known for their nachos and cheese but we weren't that hungry and I'm also more of a fries person myself. If you're out late it's a comforting feeling to know that this place is always open. They also take card!

The food was good very tasty and had great portions. The salsas were so good. Try them all, and get Carnitas is the best here. The service was super. The lady was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed. The place is ok nothing special and the bathroom is clean, have free parking lot.

I'm very shocked I never knew of this LA institution's existence until a couple friends brought me here looking for dinner on Christmas Eve when all other restaurants closed early, and I'm now a believer! Open 24/7, even on holidays, was the biggest revelation. The menu is equally just as impressive, with tacos, nachos, burritos, meat combination plates, soups, and even burgers to boot. There's ample seating in the dining area next to the kitchen and counter area. Parking can be limiting with the small lot out back, but there's street parking as well. Depending on the day and time you come, the vibes can be chill late at night or bustling through the lunch/dinner rushes. Service can be a little snappy but quick, which is all understandable with all the orders they have. The food is excellent in every way. My group of friends went all out and ordered a lot of various tacos with different meats like al pastor, carnitas and carne asada, as well as some exotic ones like the amazing 5 tacos deal for $8.88 deals with cabeza. Each taco was generously topped with diced onions and cilantro and a healthy covering of green salsa. Each taco tasted amazing and rich in meaty flavor goodness, and every bite was delicious to the end. If that wasn't enough, we also got the carne asada nachos that definitely was more than enough to round out our meal and fill whatever space was left in our bellies after the taco feast. The nachos was heaping mound of nacho chips smothered and drowning in ooey gooey nacho cheese, generously topped with smoky and tender carne asada. Each bite was super rich and bursting with flavor, with the carne asada and cheese being perfect matches for each other in each bite. Not to be forgotten, the HUGE drink sizes for dang cheap! $3 for a large horchata- you just don't get bang for your buck this often for drink sizes like this! I absolutely look forward to coming here again, and eating my way through everything else to catch up on what I've missed out on all these years!

Two words: Papa Nachos. Carnitas Michoacán is an LA institution, serving Mexican comfort food 24/7 since 1977. They are located a stone's throw from some of the best bars in DTLA and Lincoln Heights, making them the optimal late night stop. They offer sit down dining on a sparsely decorated covered patio, which has ample seating. Everything here is excellent, but you must order the Papa Nachos. The dish is large enough to feed a small family, containing a generous portion of fresh crinkle cut fries, smothered in velvety nacho cheese, and topped with escabeche and your choice of meat. These were so delicious that I forgot about all my problems. My Chile Relleno Burrito was almost as good. The fresh tortilla housed a tender, juicy, fried poblano that was lightly breaded and stuffed with cheese. Nestled within their seasoned rice and house made salsas, this was truly extraordinary. Pro tip: ask for extra nacho cheese, and pour some into your burrito along with the salsas. My husband enjoyed their Tacos Al Pastor, and the Horchata was very good too. It comes in one size and is like 40 ounces lmao. The staff are really nice and only speak Spanish. I will be dreaming of Carnitas Michoacán until we meet again.

Love this little hole-in-the-wall spot. This place is SO GOOD. A coworker and I recently came for lunch (dangerous because it's so close to the office) and wow. I've never had better tacos or nachos. We ordered 5 al pastor tacos to share and carne asada nachos and had plenty of leftovers (yes, I saved it. I didn't care that the cheese made the chips soggy, they are THAT good that I couldn't waste them!). My only gripe is that when you order the 5 taco combo you can't mix-and-match- you have to order 5 of the same taco. Come on now, I want to try them all! (Tbh though the al pastor was so good that 5 of just those ones is A-OK)

Ok, It's Latin X heritage month. My Latin X Amiga had to take me to her spot for home style Mexican. CM was very good. Huge menu, but the only item she orders is their chicken burrito. Yeah , she told me ahead of time I wouldn't be able to finish. She was right. It was huge appx. 10" & hefty. Delicious stewed chicken, I was faded ,& I took a picture. These are the left over ,still big.
