Uruapan Taco

Mexican Restaurant $ 4.5 (559)


Uruapan Taco is well-regarded for its authentic Mexican food, particularly its burritos and tacos that capture the flavors typical of Michoacan-style cuisine. While some customers appreciate the quality and portion sizes, others have noted inconsistencies in service and atmosphere, which can sometimes be a bit lacking in cleanliness or ambiance. However, its high authenticity and generous serving sizes often outweigh these minor drawbacks.

" I visited Uruapan Taco with a group of friends and we were all impressed by the generous portion sizes. The tacos were filled with all sorts of flavorful meats, especially the tripas. However, the ambience was lacking, and the place could use a good cleaning. The ladies taking orders weren’t the friendliest either. If you want authentic Mexican food, this is definitely the spot, just be prepared for the less-than-perfect atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Uruapan Taco has great food, but I must admit, the ambiance was lacking. From the moment I walked in, I could feel the rush. I enjoyed their al pastor tacos, which were on point, but I could see how some might find the environment a bit overwhelming. Overall, for the food alone, I would come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to Uruapan Taco was exciting. I had the burrito mixto, filled with various meats and topped off with their homemade salsa. However, I must say, the place could use a makeover as it felt quite dingy. The staff were direct and to the point but not particularly friendly. I would come back for the food, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, it was a decent experience at Uruapan Taco. The food was acceptable but not unforgettable. I had the chicharrón burrito which was tasty, though could use more flavor and the service felt a bit indifferent. The atmosphere is very casual, which I appreciate, but I don't think I'll be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the exterior of Uruapan Taco might not be inviting, the food surely is. I had a torta de camaron that was bursting with flavor. The combination of textures and the freshness of the shrimp really stood out. The only issue was that the service felt a bit rushed, and I wasn't offered my drink choice before I paid. However, the food made up for it, so I would definitely recommend giving this spot a try if you're in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has lived in Compton my whole life, I can assure you that Uruapan Taco is the real deal. The flavors are authentic, and it genuinely feels like home cooking. Their burritos are huge, and I always leave satisfied. The only downside is the lack of decor and slightly rough service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I needed a good taco fix and Uruapan Taco certainly delivered! Their carnitas were super tender, and the combination of flavors is just mouthwatering. The place feels a little tight, though, and the staff could use some more smiles. But for amazing tacos, I would recommend this gem any day! " (*Curated Review*)
