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 finally visited Uruapan Taco after hearing so much about it from friends, and I must say, it did not disappoint! The burritos are gigantic and packed with flavor. The carnitas burrito was definitely the highlight for me, cooked perfectly and tasted just like what I would expect from a family-owned place back in Mexico. The only downside was the atmosphere; it feels a bit cramped and the staff were a bit brusque, but the food makes it all worthwhile. I will definitely be back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been hearing so much about Uruapan Taco and finally decided to check it out. Amazing flavors, but the place itself felt a bit neglected. The arroz con pollo was spot on, but the service was slower than I would've liked. Regardless, I'll be back for that chicken! " (*Curated Review*)

" Uruapan Taco has become my favorite taco spot. The carnitas are incredibly delicious, and I love the way they prepare their salsa. It adds that perfect kick to every dish. However, my experience with the staff has been mixed; some are friendly, while others seem more focused on getting through orders quickly. Nevertheless, I always end up enjoying the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to Uruapan Taco based on a friend's recommendation, and we were all blown away by the flavors in our meals. The chicharrón burrito was a treat, and my kids loved the tacos. The place is small, which made it feel cozy, but I can see how it might not be everyone's cup of tea. Overall, we will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Though tough to find initially, Uruapan Taco is worth the search! The carne asada burrito was huge and loaded with flavor. I felt the service could be improved regarding friendliness, but not a dealbreaker for me. Make sure to visit this place if you're looking for authentic Mexican food! " (*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*)
