" We have been to many Mexican restaurants, and Carnitas Uruapan stands out for its authenticity! The carnitas were simply the best I have ever tasted, not dried out and perfectly seasoned. I had the carnitas tacos with freshly chopped onions and cilantro that just elevated the flavors. The atmosphere was casual yet vibrant, and the staff was incredibly attentive. Plus, you can't beat the price for the quality of food served. I left feeling satisfied and happy! I will definitely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was decent, I found the service to be lacking. We had to wait quite a bit for our drinks to arrive and even longer for food. My carnitas were fine but not amazing. I would definitely return to give it another chance since I've heard so many positive reviews. " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful experience overall! The family-run aspect was evident in the service, and the staff treated us wonderfully. The carnitas were heavenly—served with fresh garnishes on hand! I also enjoyed the ambience quite a bit; it felt warm and inviting, perfect for a family meal. Can’t wait to bring more friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an enjoyable meal and the ambiance was lovely. The carnitas were flavorful, but I feel they misled us about how 'authentic' it really is. Still, it was a good experience overall. I didn't mind the slow service as I was enjoying my company, and the portions were generous enough. I would say it’s worth trying if you haven’t yet. " (*Curated Review*)

" Nice atmosphere but the pork carnitas disappointed me. I expected them to be tender and rich in flavor, but they turned out a bit dry. The service was okay, nothing too special, but they were friendly. I might stop in for a taco instead next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mediocre experience at Carnitas Uruapan. While the ambiance is nice, my burrito was very underwhelming—filled with more rice than meat. I expected more, given the reviews I'd heard prior. I may give this place another chance, but I would definitely try their carnitas next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say the visit was pleasant! When I tasted the carnitas, they were beautifully spiced and very juicy. Service was top-notch as well, although I had a slight wait to get seated. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere that feels like home. Overall a great dinner and I would definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)
