Carnitas Express in downtown Murrieta on Madison Avenue (part of the Murrieta Spectrum mall across from Best Buy) is a Mexican-style cafe serving breakfast, lunch and dinner (with breakfast served all day long). The $3.99 breakfast special -- served until 11am -- includes three cakes, two eggs, and two pieces of bacon or sausage and is a popular draw for those who live and/or work locally. The restaurant provides several outdoor tables and an inviting and authentic-looking interior decor. The friendly staff, newspapers near the entrance, and several flatscreen TVs add to the homey and comfortable feel. Carnitas offers various lunch and dinner items, ranging from traditional south-of-the-border fare such as burritos, fajitas, tacos and enchilada combos to burgers and hot and cold sandwiches.
