About Us

Carnitas Uruapan is named for Uruapan, Michoacán, the home of one of Mexico's best-loved carnitas traditions. Since 1995 we have brought that tradition to West Santa Ana. We cook the way the recipe was meant to be cooked: slowly, patiently, and with respect for the meat. Whether you grew up on carnitas or are trying them for the first time, you're welcome at our table.

Our Food

Carnitas are the heart of our menu, and we cut them the traditional way. Choose maciza, surtido, cabeza, cuero, costilla, and more. Order them by the pound or in tacos, burritos, and tortas. We also serve birria tacos and birria by the pound, plus combo plates with rice and beans, consomé, fresh salsas, warm tortillas, and aguas frescas.
