Carnitas Snack Shack North Park
You can’t go wrong with a place that has a humungous wood pig sculpture on their roof!
It’s street parking here, we got lucky and did not have to walk too far. It’s a walk up order at the window place, then you get a number to put on your table. Seating is to your left as you face the order window. It’s an outside beautiful oasis with those large tower heaters to keep you warm, fill your own soft drink / water station, bar area, large screen television, attractive wood paneling throughout, lovely planters, trees, umbrellas creating a relaxing ambiance.
This was my very first visit so I was unsure what to order. Went for the fried chicken sandwich, fries and a vanilla cream beer. The chicken was super tender, crispy with a nice flavor and non greasy which I really appreciate. Loved the tri-pepper marmalade, nice combination of sweet and savory. The bun was fresh, warm and tasted mildly sweet, yum! The beer was light, refreshing and had a nice mild vanilla cream taste, not too sweet, just right.
Looking forward to coming back and trying out more menu items.

I use a combination of my iPhone and my Fujifilm X-E2 camera for all my photographs. Just depends on where I am as to which one I'll use to take my pictures with. I love to write original stories combined with my photographs. If you'd like to send me a message or comment, please do so at; maggie@hungryones.com We just celebrated our 14th Anniversary this October 2016!! So exciting!! 2015 A couple since 2003 and now on the precipice of this new journey, our fondest hope is this website serves a purpose. One of useful information presented in an elegant, beautiful photographic setting. Together we love to discover new restaurants, food trucks, diners, café’s, huts or where ever we find food being served. The love of artful, carefully crafted, passionately orchestrated food, beverages and let’s not forget desert, Is something we both enjoy immensely. Immersing ourselves in the history, culture and surrounding locations of our adventures hopefully leads to not only meeting new people, but making new friends, sharing ideas, listening to stories and learning something new everyday.
