Carnitas Uruapan - Chicago, IL
Looking for the best carnitas in Chi-town? Carnitas Uruapan Restaurant has forged a reputation for authenticity in cooking up the delicious Mexican pork dish, which is obviously the star of its menu and a family recipe since 1975. The meat is slow-roasted for hours until perfectly tender and juicy yet crispy on the outside. Don't come here if you're looking for a ton of variety—carnitas are the specialty for a reason! But you can also try the crispy pork skin cracklings aka chicharrones (plain or coated in the salsa of your choice) and the tacos dorados (stuffed crispy tacos). Not to mention the perfectly reasonable prices vs. quantity and quality.
