" I had an average experience at Carnitas Uruapan last week. The carnitas were flavorful, but I was hoping for a little more tenderness. The restaurant was quite busy, which might have affected the service speed. I loved the decor, which made the place feel welcoming. Portions were reasonable, and overall, it was a decent but not extraordinary experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pretty decent experience but nothing outstanding. The carnitas were good, and the environment was nice. However, I found the service could have been faster. I enjoyed my visit but didn’t feel the urge to hurry back. Portions were just right for a good meal, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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.
