" A good friend recommended Carnitas Estilo Michoacan to me, and I was excited to try it. The carnitas exceeded all of my expectations. They were moist and flavorful, and the cilantro and onions they provided as toppings were a pleasant surprise. The only minor issue was during peak hours; it can get quite busy. But overall, the food quality and authenticity make this place a standout in Joliet. Will return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
