Today I decided to check out the Mexican food options in Menifee. Most Mexican restaurants seem to be the same to me, but when you find a bad one, it can be miserable. Fortunately, I had some good Mexican food at Carnitas Express.
Carnitas Express is located at 26900 Newport Road in Menifee. It is in a strip mall but is a large location. The Health Department rating is an “A”.
I went during lunch and was very pleased with the lunch menu. There are about 10 items on the lunch menu and all cost less than $6. The menu at Carnitas Express also includes a large breakfast menu, salads, a very large Mexican menu and some American items.
My daughter, who recommended the restaurant, ordered their grilled chicken salad and it was beautiful and delicious. The lettuce was crisp, the chicken was tender and everything on the salad was very fresh. The salad included garlic toast and it was also delicious.
I had the cheese enchilada with rice and beans. It was a fairly large enchilada. It was very cheesy. The beans were fresh and the rice was very good. Every table is served chips and salsa. The salsa was very good. They have a salsa and pepper bar as well.
The service was good. We were greeted immediately and taken to our table.
Carnitas Express has Taco Tuesday, where ground beef, shredded beef, and chicken tacos are $1.49 each all day. On Wednesday, kids eat free with an adult entrée purchase.
Carnitas Express has been in Menifee for 16 years. I give Carnitas Express 4 spoons.
