Carnitas' Snack Shack at Embarcadero offers a fantastic outdoor spot for lunch or dinner! 🌊

I tried the Triple Threat pork sandwich and while the pulled pork was a tad dry, the flavors were still incredible, especially with the bacon and schnitzel! The atmosphere is casual with live music, making it a fun place to unwind.

Pro tip: don't skip the Baja fish tacos - they're a hit! The service was prompt, and the cocktails were refreshing. Just be prepared for parking to be a bit tricky. Overall, a lovely spot to enjoy good food by the waterfront! 🍽️✨
