Outstanding Carnitas!
We passed this place, Dos Hermanos, on the right hand side of MX1, on the way to Maneadero, before the La Bufadora Turnoff...  (Note; Herb corrected me, it's just before the turnoff to Estero Beach, thanks Herb)

My favorites
Three of my very favorite foods down here. Too bad it's clear across the peninsula or I think I'd head out for some right now.

Hey Bob...
Was it this place, 2 Hermanos, right by the turnoff to Estero Beach?

If so, it is my favorite carnitas place in all of Baja. The pollo rostizado, chicharones and birria are all excellent as well.
This is a place where I learned a valuable Spanish lesson one weekend. I ordered a kilo of carnitas. They asked me at the counter if I wanted
"surtido" or "macizo". I selected the first option because I did not know what either one meant and I did not want to look like a stupid gringo. Well,
it turns out I was one anyway when I got to the beach. My wife and I opened my wrapped "carnitas" and discovered a clearly indetifiable pig ear as
well as other things that I could not identify (nor did I particularly want to.) 
There was plenty of what I would consider meat as well but what a shock and what a lesson. I later confimred with friends that "surtido" means
"assorted" and that Macizo(a) means solid or lean.

Herb... it's the same place, but it looks like it may have been remodeled since your photo. This looks like the "assorted" stuff, bubbling just
outside the door. Name what you see???

One of our our favorite meals to cook when camping is carnitas---we simmer the pork in a lobster pot over a wood fire all day(with onions, garlic and
spices)--it actually picks up a smoky flavor. And of course the cook has to be drinking beer during the cooking process, so by the time dinnertime
rolls around we're having quite a party!!

Bob I love that place. I've eaten there about a dozen times. My friend owns a condo close by there so we are always going there to fill our
appetites. When we charted a bus to cabo one year we pulled the bus over and everyone got to enjoy these delicious carnitas...Thanks for the
pics...Paul

Mexitron, you should try this method of homemade carnitas..slowly simmer the meat with milk, a couple of whole oranges sliced in wedges, bay leaf,
onion and whole pepper corns. Terrific!
