5 stars easily, juicy carnitas. No frills. Best in the city. If you're hesitating, I hope you see this and immediately walk in.
Be the first to ReplyI should've known better.
I'm almost more mad at myself than I am the restaurant. I'm from LA, home of the best Mexican food outside of Mexico. But when I saw this place on "Taco Chronicles" on Netflix, I was like, hey, this has to be legit. ESPECIALLY, because I found out about another carnitas place on the same show, "Carnitas El Momo", but THAT place is in LA, and it is FIRE. This place, oh man, where should I start. Well let's start with how DRY the meat and tortillas were. I mean BONE DRY, I mean more dry than death valley in the summer. I had to chug down a coke just to get the clump of meat & Tortilla down my throat "No Diddy". I also ordered some Tacos Dorados which hardly had any filling, and were also hard and DRY. My family and I were so disappointed, we only ate 1 taco which we shared. The rest we used to start a bonfire for the homeless, because that's how dry this food was. I apologize to you Los Angeles, I will not betray you again.... oh, 1 last thing, this location is PICK UP only! There is no place to eat on the premises.
Be the first to ReplyIf you're a carnitas fan then this is your first stop.
You need to make it your first stop. This is the standard for which you will base all of your carnitas comparisons to. It's got an industrial, soup kitchen feel inside. Long lines and single file. You better not take too much time. But you want to experience that during your first visit. Then you can order ahead and use the street pick up window. Time saver...
Be the first to ReplyBest carnitas in Chicago hands down.
The lunch special is unreal and the lb of carnitas is also such a good deal. They also give you a sample of meat before ordering which I loved!!
Be the first to ReplyThis is a pick up / carry out only location! Just something
This is a pick up / carry out only location! Just something to be aware of so you can plan for that. Unlike me :). I stopped in specifically just to get a single Pork Carnitas Taco, and also got a Horchata as well. Phenomenal. The taco ($3.99) is very large and absolutely stuffed with tender, flavorful meat. It comes with salsa, lime wedges, onion, and cilantro on the side. Very authentic and probably one of the best tacos I've ever had. The horchata was also amazing. This place is a gem.
Be the first to ReplyI wanted my first trip of the year to be with my granny in
I wanted my first trip of the year to be with my granny in Chicago!! So me and my hubby took a little road trip! I was craving TACOS! My husband said, "why not go to the places featured on Netflix's Taco Chronicles?" "Wow, that would be a treat, let's go!" So before heading to granny's we stopped by Carnitas Uruapan. It pains me to give an establishment with such promise a 3 star rating, but a three star rating is what they deserved that day. I ordered an iced coffee medium, 3 of the taco dorados which came with a chicharron, and a half pound of Carnitas meat. The total would have been around $17-18.00 with tax. I go to the register and pay for what I ordered. They give me two coffees, I ordered one. three carnita tacos (not dorados, these are more pricey), a container of salsa,they picked the flavor. I did not order salsa. One full pound of carnita (I ordered a half a pound. After I paid for what I ordered they tell me I have to pay for the additional items I DID NOT ORDER. I say I only want what I ordered and paid for. I was so embarrassed to be causing a scene when the line is getting longer and longer until I almost just paid again. My husband says she paid already and tries to give back the additional items. The manager (the only one who can speak English), comes up and says I have to pay an additional $18.00. I tell her what my order was. We give her the things we didn't order, she gives us what we did order, she even tries to take the extra coffee which we are fine with but our hands have been all over it. She then remembers customer service and tells us to keep the coffee, with a dismissive wave of her hand. I must say the staff was exasperated and frustrated as I was. The fault did not come from them. The person that takes your order is an older non English speaking gentleman, and he tells what you say to the ladies. It was his fault. I was definitely confused by him, and the menu, and the ordering process, and unfortunately I believe he tried to take advantage of it. I would have paid and ended up with the extra items, but my husband stands on principle so we paid for what we ordered and left. I WILL RETURN! The food was great! The confusion was not.
Be the first to ReplyCame here with 6 people and the Carnitas were chefs kiss.
It was so tender, juicy, and fresh. It made me wanna slap my momma. Def recommend!!! I'd come back. Note: they are take out only so you can grab and go. It would've been nice if they had dine but all good!

Delicious food and drinks!! Totally recommend this! Service is good as well!!! Even though the line is long it's definitely worth the wait!!!
Be the first to ReplyLiterally nothing special.
I've had better carnitas. Tried the botanos. They were barely edible. Staff was nice. Probably won't go back
Be the first to ReplyAmazing! If you love authentic food, you most definitely
Amazing! If you love authentic food, you most definitely need to check this place out. My daughter read a review about this place and we decided to try it out. It's a small place, be prepared to wait but the food is delicious and the carnitas were out of this world.

Long wait times, no parking, service is super slow, The guys that you get you carnitas from have an attitude like they are annoyed to be there. Despite all the negatives the carnitas are great !
Be the first to ReplyOutstanding carnitas! Got 2 mixed (sorted cuts with skin)
Outstanding carnitas! Got 2 mixed (sorted cuts with skin) and 2 lean (maciza). Super good juicy! Also got two tacos dorados ( cheese potatoes and chorizo and potatoes), good but not as good as carnitas, perfect to dip in salsa as they are crispy. No indoor seating, only reason not 5 star.
Be the first to ReplyI usually get my carnitas from a different place, however
I usually get my carnitas from a different place, however given the reviews from friends, I decided to try this place. I ordered online to take home for lunch from the 18th street location. I was not impressed. The pork was cooked well, however it was bland. It did not have that wonderful flavor that stays with you long after you have eaten it. That flavor that makes you want to eat more despite being full. Very disappointed, won't go back. Also ordered the cafe horchata. Disappointed with the full cup of ice and tiny amount of cafe horchata.
Be the first to ReplyThe service was excellent, the environment beautifully
The service was excellent, the environment beautifully clean but the carnitas were dry. I was disappointed.
Be the first to ReplyGreat customer service! Quick easy pick-up order.
Placed my order online and it was ready ahead of scheduled time. They packaged everything nicely and provided plenty of tortillas, cilantro, onions and lime. They even threw in bonus milk caramel lollipops. Food was delicious! Thank you!
Be the first to ReplyI recently had the pleasure of visiting Carnitas Uruapan
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Carnitas Uruapan and it was truly a culinary delight! From the moment I walked in, I could smell the delicious aroma of their signature slow-cooked pork, and my taste buds were watering in anticipation.I ordered the carnitas tacos and they were hands down the best tacos I've ever had. The meat was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the toppings were fresh and complemented the meat perfectly. The tortillas were also handmade and added an extra layer of texture and flavor to the dish.The atmosphere of the restaurant was also fantastic - it had a vibrant and energetic feel that made the dining experience all the more enjoyable. The staff were friendly and attentive, and always made sure that my dining experience was top-notch.Overall, I highly recommend Carnitas Uruapan to anyone looking for an exceptional Mexican cuisine experience. I cannot wait to come back and try more of their delicious menu items!
Be the first to ReplyThe one pound carnitas special is one of the best deals you
The one pound carnitas special is one of the best deals you will find in Chicago. I love this place. Some of the best tacos in town
Be the first to ReplyOmg the best carnitas I've had in a LONG time!! Ngl we
Omg the best carnitas I've had in a LONG time!! Ngl we chose this place because we saw it on the Taco Chronicles and we are so happy that we did! Their carnitas special is chefs kiss, good for one very hungry person or two regular hungry people. My husband and I shared the dish and added a guacamole as a side munchie. Delish!!! Saved this to my guides for future. Ooh and their agua de horchata was on point. Drank every last sip!! Even their restroom was cute lol, the sink
Be the first to ReplyThe food was really good but only thing is we didn't get
The food was really good but only thing is we didn't get our tortillas for the carnitas we ordered. We had to go buy some. bummer.

Carnitas uruapan is a very good carnitas and worth every line to get served :) not allowed to eat inside but always fresh food coming out to bring out to all customers.
Be the first to ReplyRATING: 9/10Carnitas Uruapan was absolutely delightful!!
RATING: 9/10Carnitas Uruapan was absolutely delightful!! Truly a delicious authentic spot. The restaurant is right across from a cta stop which makes it super convenient for a quick pickup whenever you're in the area! There's no seating in the restaurant so if you want to eat it fresh, there's a nearby park where you can sit! When I was waiting in line, one of the people working in the restaurant gave me a lollipop which was super sweet!! I ordered two pork carnitas (with everything except shoulder meat because of other peoples' recommendation) and one taco dorado with the seso (brain) filling. I also got some free chicharrones because of the yelp check in deal! Everything came with green and red salsa and a whole array of toppings!! The taco dorado was definitely interesting since I've never had brain before but the taco carnitas were definitely the star of the show. The meat was so incredibly juicy and the crunchy onions and spicy salsa cut through the richness. Please try this place! There's a reason this place has such high ratings!
Be the first to ReplyThe food was so simple and delicious, and we were stuffed!
The food was so simple and delicious, and we were stuffed! We picked up the lunch special with 1/2lb carnitas, taco dorado, horchata, chicharron, beans, tortillas, and horchata for around $11. It also came with a bunch of toppings and salsa to make our own tacos with.We got the shoulder meat, and it was so tender and amazing. The taco dorado was a bit dry and the horchata was watery, and if they weren't already included in the special, we would not have ordered them. The beans and the chicharrones were nice sides to eat, and it helped us get through all the meat without feeling like we were eating too much of the same thing. Overall, the special was delicious and very filling! If we weren't so hungry when we showed up, we could have split one and still been satisfied.
Be the first to ReplyCarnitas special is a good option.
This is a casual local restaurant. I will come back.
Be the first to ReplyPerfectly simple, perfectly done.
Carnitas - and a few other things, but c'mon, you came for the carnitas! They're obviously cooking whole pigs because the carnitas can come "just meat" or with "mix," which includes, bits of skin and brain and ear (maybe?) and more. And each taco comes with about almost a cup of the meat packed in to two small stacked tortillas. Cilantro, onions, lime wedges, and salsa on the side. So much meat! A single taco is a meal. You'll have a pile of perfectly cooked, savory meat left over after it spills out of the taco as you try to eat it.
Be the first to ReplyBest carnitas in Chicago! Even though I live 40 minutes
Best carnitas in Chicago! Even though I live 40 minutes away I drive there whenever I'm in the mood for carnitas. Their fried potato tacos are good as well. It's not fancy, just good traditional authentic Michoacán style carnitas- just as carnitas should be.
