Las Carnitas Uruapan

3 different locations in Chicago, the quality is the same in all! These are the most delicious Carnitas in the entire United States! It's a MUST TRY if you're ever in town! The only other place I've had equally good tasting carnitas is in Quiroga Michoacan.

This was a little bit of Mexico in Chicago. The atmosphere the decor, the little plastic plates to the way that garden does the tortillas and the hot peppers were served. Just all reminded us of a restaurant in Mexico City. I just have two suggestions for the restaurant. The Carnitas and tortillas get cold too fast on the table because they are uncovered., I would just suggest to buy those Mexican tortilla holders to keep the tortillas warm. and to keep the Carnitas in aluminum foil as is traditional for take out. The second observation is that the drinks like the Horchata were on the high side. If I go down the street and ask for a large drink, I will get nearly a liter worth of a drink the same price. Nonetheless, neither of these things will keep us from coming back again. We really enjoyed ourselves and everything was delicious.

The space is new and absolutely beautiful inside. Didn't even get any pictures of the carnitas Cuz I ate them too quick. Salsas are great food is delicious. My tiniest quibble is the fact that all the cilantro onions and salsa come in plastic containers

Amazing Carnitas and chicharrones. We ordered to -1lb of carnitas, and you can chose what cut you want and we decided to get all 3 cuts because why not? Meat was tender and flavorful, along with the assortments of salsas and limes. Didn’t enjoy the dorados tried all 3.

The place is very popular and even got on TikTok! I had to try it. Very good carnitas combo special with a water included. Jamaica and Horchata were both equally as good! I must return soon. The owner sometimes is present and when he is, he makes sure to greet you and ask if the service is ok. Great place with a great atmosphere. Only con is they close at 4, so get in there early because it’s worth it!

Let me say we only tried this place because it was next to our favorite taco joint! The place is new and nicely designed, but the carnitas are descent at most, and the salsas were average.. Me and the wife had better tasting carnitas in the local supermarkets in our area in the burbs. The portions were nice for the plate we ordered, and I also tried the tacos Dorados.. What a disappointing meal we had.

They just opened today and I’m glad I made it in. Carnitas are as delicious always, fresh tortillas made there and the horchata is so refreshing. Great staff and great owners make this place a definite must visit.

Food is alright. Need more selection of sauces specially something spicy. And menu is limited. I ordered the 1/2 pound of carnitas with beans( and tortillas), a drink and a taco dorado. Price was reasonable.

I came here to grab takeout for a party of 6 people and it was definitely worth it for the price. The shredded pork and the crispy skin made for a good lunch. The pork was well seasoned and not dry. There is a good amount of fat in the pork which made it very moist. Overall good service and location.

I come today whit friends to enjoy the best carnitas in chicago and the cocktails and tequila flight We order the weekly special i saw the owner el guero carvajal congrats for this new location My only complain is the tortillas was sticking i suggest have the same quality like the other location other then that evrething was perfect and delicious See you next time

This location (formerly the Concordia establishment) is their new and third restaurant and it is absolutely stunning. From the moment I stepped inside, I was impressed by how well-organized the restaurant is. The attentive security guard ensures smooth order, even for those waiting to be seated. The host takes your number and sends a text when your table is ready, making the wait much more convenient. There's also a free parking lot just a short walk (about a quarter block) north on Hamlin Ave. The service here is top-notch, and the food quality matches that of their other locations--without a doubt, they serve the best carnitas in the state, and arguably the entire country. We were also informed by the owner that they'll soon be offering beer and cocktails, which is exciting. They also make their tortillas in-house, and you can see the tortilla-making process by the entrance; can't never go wrong with freshly made tortillas to elevate your tasting experience! Overall, this new spot not only meets but exceeds expectations with its breathtaking atmosphere, seamless organization, mouthwatering food, and exceptional customer service. It's already becoming an icon in the Little Village neighborhood.

One of Chicago's Carnitas Legends just got a major upgrade! The new location is bigger, brighter, and more inviting than ever. Plus, they're now serving up craft cocktails and beer to pair perfectly with their mouthwatering, authentic Carnitas. The classic combo of Michoacan style pork, zesty salsas, crispy chicharrón, and creamy refried beans remains unchanged - and still utterly addictive. Service is quick and friendly. They have a private parking too or better yet park in the street. I will definitely come back.

This location is absolutely stunning! Been to all three locations and this has to be my favorite location, we arrived before the Saturday lunch rush and were attended promptly. We got sat and at the same time they dropped off a small plate with three different salsas and chicharrón. We are from out of town so we wanted to try a bit of everything including drinks! My wife ordered a coffee, coffee had great flavor. I ordered a michelada with negra modelo, it had a good taste! Looking forward and trying their mixed drinks when I come back! We ordered a pound of mixed carnitas, guacamole with chips, tacos dorados (potato/cheese and potato/chorizo), and a side of beans. The carnitas include lime, onion, cilantro, and tortillas. I cannot express how good everything was, including the service. Waitress was very attentive!

I've been going to Carnitas Uruapan in Pilsen for 20+ years and couldn't wait to try their new location in La Villita. The decor and ambiance is beautiful, the staff are very friendly, and the food delicious as usual.

Went to eat at Carnitas uruapan at 26th street on Saturday, the carnitas were good and tasty but by the time it came to our table which was quick but they were room temp almost cold and the tortillas as well. The service was absolutely awful the waitress disappeared as soon as she gave us our. We waited about another 15 minutes looking for her and she was nowhere to be found we had to ask help from the hostess that's when they had to look for our waitress. She took out and disappeared again. We waited around and just decided to ask the hostess for the check because again our waitress didn't seem to care. We decided on not leaving a tip due to poor service. The ambiance is beautiful but a big disappointment cold carnitas, tortillas and awful service.

5 star are not enough to describe this place 100/10 everything was amazing the carnitas were so good perfect service especially this girl Zaida such a kind human being. there's nothing else you can ask for definitely recommend this place.
