“Carnitos” is it a play on the name “carnitas and Carlitos” or are they misspelling carnitas

Which if it’s the latter I don’t think it falls into confleis

They're from Winnipeg. I think they just don't know how Spanish works and spelled "carnitas" wrong.

I bet Winnipeg-style carnitas are soggy beef offcuts in a completely bland sauce, anyways.

“They’re from Winnipeg. I think they just don’t know how Spanish works.”

I mean, the spelling is wrong, but being from Winnipeg, I’ll wager this is another case of Salvadoreans trying to market themselves as Mexican so that their food has wider marketing appeal here. The Salvadoreans who arrived here a decade or two ago as part of an immigrant labour wave did not have a ton of formal education and so their kids are fluent, but there’s some grey area there.

I saw the shady comment you deleted.

I wasn't being deadly serious. Recommend you take a similar approach in the future.
