" Visited on a Saturday morning with my family, and it was one of the best decisions ever! The carnitas are unbelievably delicious, with that authentic flavor you'd expect from a traditional Mexican restaurant. The staff is genuinely kind and helpful. Though it's strictly takeout, we made it work by heading over to the park nearby. Can’t wait to come back next weekend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh my goodness, where do I even start? I adore carnitas and I can say without a doubt that this is some of the best I've ever had! It’s tender, flavorful, and generously portioned. The staff's friendliness made the experience even better. Just remember though, no dining area, but that's so minor compared to the quality of food. You have to try this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place blew me away! I took my family here after hearing rave reviews. The carnitas are mouthwatering, and the portions are generous yet very affordable. Don’t skip on the agua de Jamaica; it's incredibly refreshing! The service is fantastic; they treat you like family. While there’s no dining area, we took our food to the park, which made for a perfect day out. If you love Mexican food, this is a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been searching for authentic carnitas for ages, and I finally found it at Carnitas Uruapan! The flavors are bold and genuinely remind me of my grandmother's cooking back in Michoacán. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and although the limited seating was a bummer, the taste made up for it. I can't wait to return and bring my friends! Highly recommend the mixed tacos with all the toppings. You'll feel like you're eating right in Mexico! Overall, a 5-star experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Carnitas Uruapan lives up to the reputation! I usually find carnitas to be hit or miss, but this place consistently delivers with perfectly seasoned and cooked pork every time. Their staff goes above and beyond in ensuring you enjoy your experience. I have to admit, not having a dining area feels like a loss to enjoying the meal, but it’s worthwhile so you can have such exceptional food. Definitely going to be a regular stop!

" After being recommended by multiple friends, my visit to Carnitas Uruapan was well worth it. Their carnitas taste fresh, rich, and so delicious! They have a few cuts to choose from, giving a wonderful variety. It’s mostly takeout, which I didn't mind, as I was ready for a picnic! I was pleasantly surprised by their competitive prices too. All in all, very satisfied! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a true carnitas aficionado, I can confidently say that Carnitas Uruapan offers some of the most authentic and flavorful carnitas I've had outside of Mexico. The pork is tender and juicy, and they have multiple cuts to choose from, making every taco a delightful experience. While there's only a takeout option, it feels rewarding to eat it on the go. I even brought home a few tacos for my coworkers, and they couldn't get enough! Can't wait for another visit! " (*Curated Review*)
