On Saturday's you'll see a line out the door of folks waiting to get the Carnita's roasted here.
Look over your shoulder as you enter Don Pedro’s and you’ll be greeted by two bulls’ heads mounted over the door. Equally intimidating is the heaping pile of chicharrónes (pork rinds) in the window, warming next to a giant cart of carnitas, pork meat braised in its own fat until marvellously juicy and tender. The menu here is minimalist, small enough to be displayed on the side of the napkin dispenser—after all, the only real choice to make is between shoulder, ribs, skin, stomach, or all of the above (choose the latter for the best combinations of flavor and texture). If you’re bold enough to try the tacos de sesos, you won’t be sorry; mixed with onion, tomato, cilantro, and lime, beef brains make a creamy, rich filling for corn tortillas that are then stitched shut with toothpicks and fried to a golden crisp. Plan on getting there early—on weekends the line stretches so far out the door that juice vendors set up camp on the sidewalk, and on many days the carnitas runs out by the afternoon.
