The Best Carnitas in Louisiana? You’ll Find Them in Bossier City

One Bossier woman is changing the way we eat at home by letting us bring her magic home with us. Juana Aguirre, owner of Taqueria Aguirre, is known for her incredible homemade salsas that are ready for pickup. But while her salsas are a must-try, they aren't the only reason people are driving from all over the Ark-La-Tex.

Juana's carnitas are, without a doubt, the best I have ever had in Louisiana.

Juana's Famous Carnitas: A Labor of Love

Juana wakes up at the crack of dawn every day to get her famous birria and carnitas ready for lunch service. She even makes her own salsas and the signature pickled jalapenos that have become a must-have with every bite.

I have no idea what her secret is, but her pickled jalapenos bring the perfect amount of heat and acidity to every dish, creating a perfect balance of flavor.

I knew everyone on social media was raving about her food, but I had to find out for myself. While I was waiting, Juana made her way to my table with a small taco, claiming I should have listened to her and tried the carnitas. She was right. I was blown away. The carnitas have the perfect flavor and are succulent without being greasy.

Imagine my surprise when I realized I didn't need salsa or lime. The meat was so flavorful on its own.

The Best Carnitas in Bossier City

As Juana told me, she isn't the only one who knows how good her carnitas and pickled jalapenos are. She claims that other taqueria owners from around town come to her for her homemade items.

Please don't make the same mistake I did by not ordering them right away. The flavors of her carnitas are on another level, proving that sometimes, the simplest things are the most delicious.

Taqueria Aguirre is located at 106 Airline Dr in Bossier City.
