    This place is so cute! They have restaurant style seating on the right and then carry out line on the left. When we went to get carnitas, they let us try some of the carnitas and chicharrón!! I love samples!!! They gave us candies in our Togo bag too! Their salsa verde was great in flavor and texture! The nopales was good too! I love when restaurants have nopales! I would recommend grabbing carry out for dinner or stopping in for lunch!

    I love carnitas Uruapan, we went to their dine in location on 55th because their 18th location is strictly take-out only. Street parking can be a little tricky so keep that in mind. When you get there male sure to check in with the hostess and give them your name and a phone number if you're dining there. If it's just take-out then there is a different like for that. The decor is so nice and i love the fact that you can see the cooks and the tortilla makers in action. The restaurant is clean and aesthetically pleasing. When you're seated you're given fresh chicharrones and a variety of salsas, cilantro, onions and limes which is so nice. We ordered a little of everything but next time i'll try their Nopales salad. We ordered their carnitas surtidas, tacos dorados, guacamole and beans and it comes with freshly made handmade tortillas. To drink we got their horchata cafe and a cafe de olla so delicious. Our waitress was very nice but i loved the fact the owner was walking around and checking on each table. He is such a sweet man and very attentive of his guests. The food was amazing we ate everything and left very happy. If you come on a weekend be ready to wait a little bit for a table but surprisingly the wait goes by pretty fast. I'll keep coming back for more carnitas.

    I rarely give 5 stars but Carnitas Uruapan deserves it and more. The food is incredibly delicious, plentiful, and perfectly presented. We got the lunch special ( only available at this location, I believe). It includes a half pound of straight up delicious carnitas or a mix of meat, belly, and rib, unlimited freshly made tortillas, salsa fresca, salsa verde, and a smoky hot salsa, onions, cilantro ,and lime. Refried beans, a crispy fried filled tortilla, a horchata with a cinnamon stick, and big chunks of chicharonnes come with it for-- get this --- $10.99!! The service was incredible . She stopped by our table to see if we got everything we expected, again to see if we liked it, then to see if we needed more tortillas and then to give us takeout containers for all the leftovers. I am a big eater and I could not finish my whole plate. The restaurant is spotless and very prettily decorated. I wish I could live in Chicago and go here frequently. I looooooved everything about my experience here! Right on the 55 bus route to Midway airport, it's so convenient to stop on the way.
