Carnitas Uruapan

I didn't expect much when I came by But boy was I wrong.I tried a taco mixto de carnitas and I still remember the flavor til this day!Soft and delicious I really enjoyed it!

The food is great, service is quick, and the people are helpful!Their salsa is great as well. I'm coming back for sure!I didn't give it a 5 star because their prices could be better. There is a lot of competition for this food in Santa Ana and I can probably get a lot more for my buck there.For context, $77 for 5 lbs of meat, 87 with a side of beans. No tortillas.

As the name suggests, the name of the game here is carnitas! There were renovations going on in the building that is right off the street, so there's a trailer you go to towards the back and order and dine with some benches back there. The service feels pretty standard at taco trucks/stands and the folks were friendly, helpful, and efficient.I also came here on the earlier side because I made stop here in the morning before meeting my brother's family at Disneyland that day. It was already really busy! Waiting in line with the crowd made me feel like I was at the neighborhood carne asada, haha. I ordered two mixto tacos....but honestly...I could have been good with just one. They are huge. And after topping them off at the salsa and toppings bar...it was almost too much food. And I'm not a small person. The meats were delicious and the salsas were fresh and tasty. Just really delicious tacos.I was able to find street parking nearby. The location of this place feels like the old town / industrial area.

Delicious carnitas, huge tacos, friendly and quick service. Try the carnitas surtidas for extra flavor!

My son arrived from S. Korea and was craving carnitas. Meat was all right according to him. He thought it was good. Prices are good. Service was good. Friendly staff. Used my yelp check in and got us some goat broth.

I was long overdue for a trip to Carnitas Uruapan and went mid-week with a friend around noon. The carvers are great and loaded us each up with two massively fresh and tasty carnitas tacos with everything (aka onion & cilantro mix) and a wedge of lemon/lime. We grabbed a seat out front sharing the table with two others.As I was eating my first taco, I thought to myself, I can't remember ever enjoying a carnitas taco more than this one.Here's my move...add a little salt on top of the tacos, squeeze the citrus on top, pick up taco, holding tightly, dunk it deeply into the cup of consume followed by splash of any of the three different and super delicious salsas, then stuff it in your mouth.It's the whole package. You can order different parts of the pig when they are making your taco or burrito right there in front of you. I love the food and the people are friendly.A clear 5-Stars again for me on the food. The ambiance is a little lacking out front and I'm not taking the wife there but it is what it is and I'm not marking them down for that. If your goal is to eat at some of the best taco spots Santa Ana has to offer, I think Carnitas Uruapan has got to be on the list.

I know Uruapan is famous for their carnitas, so I was excited to try this place, and it 100% delivered. I ordered the carnitas tacos and they were absolutely delicious. First of all, they are big tacos and the meat is so tender and flavorful. They add onions and they also have some tasty salsas you can add. The prices were great for all the food you get. I loved the artwork of Uruapan that they had inside. I also noticed that they sell aguas frescas which I would love to try next time.

Disgraceful Service at Carnitas Urapan, Santa Ana. recently visited Carnitas Urapan in Santa Ana and had a very disappointing experience. Due to renovations, I had to go to the back trailer, where I encountered an older female staff member. She started speaking to me in Spanish, even though I don't speak the language. Despite making it clear that I didn't understand, she continued to speak only in Spanish and gave me terrible service.What made the situation even worse was that she called me a "gringo" and used other verbally abusive words that I understood. Her body language and looks felt intended to humiliate me. This was not only poor service but also racially insensitive and completely unprofessional.Because of this disgraceful treatment, I will never return to the Santa Ana location. This type of behavior is unacceptable in any business.

Was craving buche so i came by this Friday. Two tacos, one of buche and the other buche/carnitas. These are hands down some of the best carnitas in southern california. It gets crowded for lunch sometimes so just be prepared to wait a bit. Other than that, come check them out. You wont be dissappointed.

We came to try some cueritos and also carnitas, I did like them just they were to sweet, we also got birria but it taste it like barbacoa, the cashier was a little rude and seemed like he was in a hurry, we like the outside dinner but it's not clean at all, they should put attention to the small details to make the costumers comfortable!
