Carnitas Uruapan Restaurant
Michoacán
Carnitas Uruapan is a casual carnitas house where the order is measured in pounds, not tacos, though a single taco is allowed. The pork follows a recipe from Michoacán, the region that more or less invented the whole idea, and it comes with cactus salad, pickled chiles, and chicharrón. Brain quesadillas are on offer for the committed. The family now runs three locations, and the one on 55th St hosts the loyal regulars.

Carnitas
“With a third-generation recipe from Michoacán, the epicenter of carnitas know-how, Carnitas Uruapan must be doing something right.”

Brain quesadillas
“The restaurant, which turned 50 last year, draws loyal crowds who return for a single taco or a full pound (or several) served with the traditional cactus salad, pickled chiles, chicharrón, or even brain quesadillas.”
