"This carnitas-focused Mexican spot is available for both curbside pickup and delivery." - adrian kane
"A carnitas institution ideal for picnics and gatherings—customers recommend buying carnitas by the pound as a reliably satisfying, go-to pork option that hits all the right notes." - Sam Nelson
"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 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 Little Village location is newer and has a drink menu. 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
"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
