" Our family loves coming here for the carnitas! We usually order the tacos, but this time we decided to try the burritos and they did not disappoint. Huge portions and really good flavor, plus the homemade salsa set it off. The only downside was the wait time was a little longer during dinner hours, but well worth it in the end. It's a bit of a drive for us, but I wouldn't trade it for anything else. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a rather mixed experience. I enjoyed the carne asada but the carnitas were a bit greasier than what I would expect. However, I did appreciate the choice of authentic Mexican desserts available. The service was friendly, yet it felt like a long wait for our food. I may give this place another chance due to their potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Carnitas Michoacan and opted for their famous carnitas plate. Initially, I had high expectations given the rave reviews but was somewhat disappointed. The meat was flavorful; however, it was slightly overcooked, resulting in a drier texture than I would like. The service was attentive but a little slow. The atmosphere had a nice vibe, making it suitable for family gatherings, so I'll give them another try in future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having visited several Mexican restaurants across the state, I can confidently say that Carnitas Michoacan stands out for its authenticity. The carnitas are incredibly well prepared, moist and with that classic crispness that you find in Mexico. I went with friends, and we shared a variety of tacos – all of which were delicious. The atmosphere made us feel like we were at a family gathering, and we were able to sample some traditional salsas that elevated our meal even more. This is definitely a spot worth revisiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" Really enjoyed my visit to Carnitas Michoacan. The initial service was quick, and the food came out hot and fresh. My burrito had a variety of fillings and flavors that blended nicely. I think this restaurant has a lot to offer and I intend to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply loved the nachos—loaded and gooey! I would definitely recommend them as a starter. The tacos were very good as well, though I felt like portion sizes were a tad smaller than expected, especially for the price. However, the ambiance makes up for it, creating a very welcome dining environment. " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment I walked into Carnitas Michoacan, I was greeted by friendly staff who made me feel at home. I ordered a plate of carnitas tacos, which were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The green salsa added a spicy kick that complemented the dish wonderfully. The atmosphere was cozy, perfect for casual dining with family or friends. I'll definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
