Mi Trailita is living proof that sometimes good things come in small packages. The tiny little trailer is tucked alongside a gas station on far east Manor Road with several folding tables sheltered under a canopy for dining on the spot. And once you smell the aromas wafting from the little kitchen, you’re going to want to eat up right away. There are many fan favorites here, like the barbacoa and al pastor, but the succulent, melt-in-your-mouth carnitas won us over. Be sure to order them on moist corn tortillas (which are pressed and griddled to order—and also run on the smaller side, so you might want to order a few extras), topped with onion and cilantro. Both the red and green salsas are excellent, and the former really packs a punch.
