Wife and I wanted to take advantage of our free time today and decided to hit up Carnitas Uruapan. We’ve been in the past and wanted to see if it’s still good, and, well, yeah. It’s still very good. The only difference between now and our last visit is that the location on 18th in Pilsen is solo para llevar. No big deal.
Notably, this carnitas is seasoned thoroughly. To often, imo, places neglect proper seasoning of their meat. It also has a great ratio of slightly crispy bits to impossibly tender.
We got 1lbs of carnitas, 2 tacos dorados, chips and guac, frijoles, dozen tortillas, salsas, and two Mexican cokes. The total came in just under $40 and will feed us for several meals. A steal imo.
Just wanted to give a shoutout to a delicious Chicago staple. Very happy and full right now.
