Carnitas’ Snack Shack North Park Recognized as a Top Performing Restaurant as Reviewed by Travelers on the World’s Largest Travel Site

NORTH PARK PORK, SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA – 10 June 2014 – Carnitas’ Snack Shack North Park today announced that for a second consecutive year, it has received the TripAdvisor® Certificate of Excellence award. The accolade, which honors hospitality excellence, is given only to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveller reviews on TripAdvisor, and is extended to qualifying businesses worldwide. Establishments awarded the Certificate of Excellence are located all over the world and represent the upper echelon of businesses listed on the website.

When selecting Certificate of Excellence winners, TripAdvisor uses a proprietary algorithm to determine the honorees that takes into account reviews ratings. Businesses must maintain an overall TripAdvisor bubble rating of at least four out of five, volume and recency of reviews. Additional criteria include a business’ tenure and popularity ranking on the site.

“Winning the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence two years in a row is really exciting! It’s all due to our fabulous guests who reviewed the SnackShack on TripAdvisor,” said Chef Hanis Cavin. “And, there’s no greater seal of approval than being recognised by your customers,” added Sara Stroud, owner/operator of Carnitas’ Snack Shack. “It’s a remarkable vote of confidence to our business, team, potential customers and San Diego vacationers alike.”

Previously, Carnitas’ Snack Shack – North Park, San Diego’s original fast-casual porkhouse, was awarded the 2013 TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence.

“TripAdvisor is pleased to honor exceptional hospitality businesses for consistent excellence,” said Marc Charron, President of TripAdvisor for Business. “The Certificate of Excellence award gives top performing establishments around the world the recognition they deserve, based on feedback from those who matter most – their customers. From Australia to Zimbabwe, we want to applaud exceptional hospitality businesses for offering TripAdvisor travellers a great customer experience.”
