The carnitas exceeded my expectations - so juicy and flavorful! What surprised me the most were the portions; they were generous. The atmosphere was vibrant, filled with the sounds of laughter and chatter. We had a little wait, but it was worth it. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about this place, I finally visited Carnitas Uruapan. It's a hidden gem! The carnitas were perfect - crispy on the outside and soft inside.

" While the carnitas tasted great, my experience was marred a bit by inconsistent service. I had to remind my server a couple of times about my order. However, once the food arrived, I was happy. The atmosphere was lively, and my dining companions enjoyed their meals too. I loved the generous portions offered. It is a good spot to satisfy a carnitas craving! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited with friends for lunch and enjoyed the great food! The bartenders were friendly and offered excellent suggestions. The juices and horchata were a refreshing way to round out our hefty meal. The environment was a little cramped, which made it hard to hear each other at times. Overall, the focus on carnitas makes this place special, and I'd return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Carnitas Uruapan is a testament to genuine Mexican cuisine. The pork was succulent and their sauces complemented the meal perfectly. The interior is bright and bursting with character.

" Had to visit after seeing all the hype online! While the crowning glory was the carnitas, I found the restaurant's environment very warm and inviting.
