" I visited Carnitas Uruapan Family Restaurant last weekend and I cannot emphasize enough how delightful the experience was. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly staff, and immediately the aroma of freshly cooked carnitas filled the air! I ordered the carnitas dinner for one, and let me tell you, the portion was enormous. The meat was perfectly tender, with just the right amount of seasoning. The accompanying rice and beans were delicious as well, making this a well-rounded meal. I also tried their guacamole, which managed to be both creamy and fresh. The vibrant decor and lively atmosphere made the dining experience even better. For anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, I would highly recommend this restaurant. You won't be disappointed! I'll be returning soon for sure. Overall, I rate it 5/5. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a true find in the heart of the city! We've been looking for a good place for carnitas and this restaurant exceeded our expectations. The carnitas were so juicy and flavorful, and the portion sizes were generous enough to feed us both with leftovers! The service was warm and friendly, making us feel right at home. The decor was delightful; it really felt like a cozy family establishment. I can't wait to bring my friends here next time. Just an excellent experience all around! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere was pleasant, and the food was decent, but I was a little underwhelmed by the carne asada burrito. It was mostly rice and not much carne asada, which was disappointing. The chips and salsa were a good start to the meal though. Service could have been a bit faster, as we waited longer than expected for our food. I don't think I would come back specifically for the burrito but might consider trying their tacos next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a treasure! The family-run aspect really shines through with how the staff treats you. I came for the carnitas and they did not disappoint! Juicy, tender, and just the right amount of seasoning. I especially loved the hot salsa they offered on the side, just the perfect kick. Everything from the fresh tortillas to the vegetable sides felt homemade. I would highly recommend anyone in the area to eat here. Will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply amazing! My mouth waters just thinking about their carnitas. So tender, juicy, and full of flavor! I ordered the dinner for two and it was a feast! The service was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant had a cozy feel to it, and I loved the vibrant decorations. It reminded me of home cooked meals with my family. I'm already planning my next visit! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and eat here, you won't regret it! " (*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*)
