CARNITAS ZARAGOZA

CARNITA’S ZARAGOZA STARTED BY ALBERTO ZARAGOZA AKA EL GALLO ABOUT 20-25 YEARS AGO. HE PASSED DOWN HIS RECIPE DOWN TO HIS FAMILY. SINCE THEN CARNITAS ZARAGOZA HAS BEEN GROWING AND GROWING. WE ARE A SMALL FAMILY BUSINESS LOCATED IN SANTA ANA CALIFORNIA. THE BUSINESS IS NOW RUN BY FERNANDO ZARAGOZA (ALBERTO ZARAGOZA SON) FERNANDO ZARAGOZA TAKES PRIDE ON HIS CARNITAS EVERYDAY, CHECKING THAT THEY ARE COOK RIGHT AND MOST IMPORTANT THAT THEY TASTE GOOD. WE SELL APROX. 300-500 POUNDS OF CARNITAS PER DAY, THATS JUST MONDAY THRU FRIDAY. ON THE WEEKENDS FERNANDO ZARAGOZA WAKES UP AT 3:30AM TO GET READY FOR THE BUSY WEEKEND AHEAD. BY 4:30 AM EVERY WEEKEND HE HAS PUT TO COOK 800 POUNDS OF CARNITAS SO THEY COULD BE READY BY 7:30AM. AFTER THOSE ARE COOK HE MAKES ANOTHER 1000 POUNDS MORE FOR CUSTOMERS IN THE AFTERNOON ON SATURDAY. PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT CITIES COME AND TAKE HOME THIS CARNITAS WHICH ARE WELL KNOWN IN SANTA ANA. FERNANDO REPEATS THE SAME PROCESS ON SUNDAY WHICH ARE HIS BUSIEST DAYS. DONT FORGET ABOUT HIS CHICHARRON (FRIED PORK SKIN) WHICH IS COOKED RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. FERNANDO ALSO HAS A 2ND LOCATION IN CORONA CALIFORNIA 1252 W SIXTH STREET. THAT BUSINESS IS RUN BY HIS SON LUIS FERNANDO ZARAGOZA. IN THE 2ND LOCATION THEY MAKE THE SAME TASTY CARNITAS WITH HOME MADE TORTILLAS. WE ARE VERY BLESSED ABOUT OUR BUSINESS FERNANDO SAYS. HIS DAD TAUGHT HIM EVERYTHING HE KNOWS. HOPEFULLY I COULD PASS DOWN MY RECIPE TO MY SONS. WHEN EVER YOU HAVE A CHANCE COME ON DOWN TO CARNITAS ZARAGOZA. 1229 S Main Street IN Santa Ana.
