Carnitas Uruapan

"Opened in 2019, this location was established to cater to the Mexican community that migrated to Gage Park. It continues the tradition of serving authentic Michoacán-style carnitas." - Serena Maria Daniels

"The original Carnitas Uruapan in Pilsen is great, but it’s more of a carry-out operation. The one we’re talking about here is the Gage Park location, which is newer and much, much bigger. The menu is still the same, and it focuses on carnitas—which you can get in a taco or by the pound, with fantastic homemade tortillas on the side. Because pigs are magical animals and every part of them is somehow delicious, you can’t go wrong choosing the rib, belly, or shoulder." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru

"The original Carnitas Uruapan in Pilsen is more of a carry-out operation, but the Gage Park location is newer and much, much bigger. Like Don Pedro, this spot focuses on carnitas, which you can get as a taco on fantastic handmade tortillas. Choose between pork rib, belly, or shoulder (our favorite is the rib), or get one of each—it’s all delicious." - adrian kane, john ringor

"Arranging an entire pig roast might be cost-effective and fun, but it’s not always practical to play Lord of the Flies with all your friends. So we suggest going to Carnitas Uruapan in Gage Park instead. Here you can get belly, shoulder, or rib meat, and it’s all priced by weight. Whichever one(s) you choose will be juicy and delicious, and your order will come with some fantastic handmade tortillas. Unlike the small location in Pilsen, the colorful space here is perfect for large groups and parties." - adrian kane, john ringor

"Carnitas Uruapan has launched a campaign to feed first responders. They are donating at least 150 meals a week to hospitals throughout the crisis. Check out their Instagram to learn more." - adrian kane
