Traditional-Style Carnitas in West Valley City

At Viva Mexico Carnitas we slow-cook our pork the traditional way and sell carnitas by the pound: mixed cuts, maciza, cuero (skin), rib, or buche. Build your own taco bar at home. Every order comes with the same fresh detail we put on the plate: handmade tortillas, red and green salsa made in house, rice, and beans. Tacos dorados, working-man's tortas with carnitas, chorizo, ham, or sausage, and combo plates round out the menu, along with aguas frescas and glass-bottle sodas.

You'll find us on 3500 South in West Valley City, Utah, a few minutes from downtown Salt Lake City and easy to reach from Taylorsville, Kearns, Magna, West Jordan, Murray, and South Salt Lake. Order online for delivery through DoorDash, call ahead to pick up, or ask about our Combo Carnitas and carnitas catering for parties, office lunches, and family gatherings across the Salt Lake City area.

Feeding a Crowd?

Our Combo Carnitas serves 6 to 8 people and comes with everything you need: carnitas, tortillas, rice, beans, and salsa.

“Comida muy fresca, salsas que sí son salsas (no son agua con chile). Para ser sus primeros días en el mercado, no está nada mal.”
