Bottom-line... food is consistently good, portions are more than reasonable, and service is friendly. Check out the pictures. TL;DR And for the lowdown, read on... There are some misleading (spiteful?) 1-star reviews posted. I take my parents at least 2-3 a month and can tell you that this restaurant cares about food quality, portions, and taking care of their customers. More importantly, they're great at correcting any issues, real or imagined, no questions asked. Servers Erika (phenomenal and always pleasant) and Edgar (attentive and friendly) are enough reasons to return. Meats, especially carnitas and asada, are cooked perfectly, juicy, and very tasty. You get tortillas (made daily), and all the accompaniments you could ever want at no charge: at least 2 types of salsas (delish), lime, radishes, onions, cilantro. Perfect. Tacos de carnitas (get 'em surtido) are to die for. Menudo is consistently delicious. Burritos are phat and fat (asada and machaca)! No 5 stars because no l read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I definitely would! Please for the life of you, do NOT order the tacos de canasta!!! If you do, you'll get 3 incredibly greasy, soggy, and disgusting tacos with barely any filling in them. These stingy people have the audacity to charge $7.99 for basically 3 greasy folded tortillas. Outrageous prices for absolute GARBAGE! The pictures below are an example of the tacos de canasta. Do you think these measly tacos with about 5 small chunks of potato in them (which wasn't even good either by the way) are worth $7.99?? Whoever came up with these wack prices is clearly outta their rocker. No need to go to the hood. Come here instead and you'll feel just as robbed and scammed. These people should be ashamed of themselves. Why charge $7.99 for something that doesn't even equate to 0.25¢ of quality?? When I first came in, apart from hot and stuffy, this place was also completely dead. That should have been my first indication to run for the hills. Besides the disappointing food, the staff is also very incompetent. They originally gave me a bean taco when I had ordered potato. I sent it back, and they took their sweet time fixing one taco. I will never step foot in this place again. What an absolute embarrassment of an establishment. read more

The tortillas were good, the carnitas edible, but the chicharrones were practically inedible. Thought I was going to crack a tooth; dry & chewy. read more

I want to mention that the food is amazing, I have never had a bad experience with my food, the cooks are awesome! The service in the other hand has not been the best, the waiter has spoken to us in a demeaning tone and at one point refused to bring my food to the table and had the cook bring it to my table. I continue to return due to the tasty food but the attitude from the waitress definitely makes me think twice. read more

I was going to another restaurant it was Christmas Eve and I just got off work. Thankfully this place was open. I loved their beans and I'm not much of a tamale person but I had the chicken, corn, and cheese and they were so good! Happy they were open. I might stop by again they also sold cheeses and other foods read more

Breakfast for dinner. From the breakfast menu: Carne asada chilaquiles with egg over easy verde sauce and rice and beans. Delicious! I don't know why I was surprised that it was really good. The carne asada was tender and the slight crunch of the tortilla, egg yolk drip just some good stuff here. I've been here for tacos and this is just another favorite! Service is quick and if you can get by with minimal Spanish you're golden. Place is always spotless. Good eats! read more

They illegally charge a fee on debit cards, they were previously ordered to stop. What they stopped doing was calling it a debit fee and renamed it to convenience fee on receipt. I stopped going there and now frequent other restaurants that follow the law read more

FOOD We've ordered carnitas to eat at home twice now and both times the carnitas are flavorful and tender. We bought the tray of carnitas surtida with a little over 4 pounds for $54. It's about $13 per pound. The tortillas are handmade and always fresh. The salsa negrita is my favorite because it's spicy and slightly tangy. The salsa habanero is also good and spicy. SERVICE I have yet to eat in the restaurant but for takeout the customer service with prompt. They really prioritize each customers order while still being quick and before you leave they make sure you have everything you've ordered. AMBIANCE There's limited seating because the restaurant space is pretty small. Parking is shared with a few other businesses next door. There's another small lot across the street. read more

Great service, nice vibe, the restaurant is clean. I enjoy dining at the restaurant. I have been coming back with friends.

Carnitas here was amazing as expected. The best ive personally ever had. All the sides were also delicious and the tortillas are really what won me over. This place is very under rated for a good affordable authentic meal. read more

I got the party tray for $24.99 I called in to place order and they told me it was $35 plus tax. I paid $40 I picked up my order and I just got a plate for one person. Not even for eight people. Half of my people didn't eat ill like to get my money back !! & the lady on the phone was being so rude ! read more

First time here. We came for dinner and it was well worth it. We ordered the party plater carnitas mixta. Can never go wrong with home made corn tortillas. Highly recommend. read more

It's a crime that this place has such a low rating. Menudo is some of the best I've had and I'm picky. And the Tacos Surtidas are Heaven. Flavorful with a fresh, handmade tortilla. And the salsas are good too which is key. read more

Las carnitas mixtas están muy deliciosas. Los frijoles refritos también. Solo le doy una estrella porque el servicio es horrible. He ido dos veces y las dos veces me lleve la misma impresión del servicio. Cuando comí ahí, no te sientan ni te dan menú. Tienes que adivinar como se ordena. Y se tardaron muchísimo para traer la comida. No sé si es porque solo tenían una persona tomando órdenes de "take out" y las ordenes de mesa. Hoy fuimos de nuevo pero para ver si el servicio de "take out" sería mejor. Y la verdad está vez habían dos personas tomando órdenes pero aún así se tardaron mucho porque solo se la pasaban coqueteando con los clientes. Aparte de eso le falta comunicación hacia el cliente. Quizás coqueteando les dan mejor propina? La verdad no sé si valga la pena lo delicioso que está la comida como para andar lidiando con pésimo servicios. read more

One of the best carnitas place I've been too. The meat is always fresh and the service is great. They're quick and always friendly.

This place is amazing. We were looking for a place to eat we know it's Thanksgiving nothing was open. We came upon this place by accident. Omg!! It probably the best place in Baldwin Park. We made a huge order. The food is just amazing And they are open today!! I can't wait to come again. We have a huge family gathering coming up I think we are ordering again. This place deserves a 10 plus!! read more

Carnitas Uruapan Restaurant - Carnita Tacos!! Omg so good - Mexican Near Me - Baldwin Park, California

Always a different dish I try here and always impressed. Great fresh food evet single time.

This place is SO good. I love their carnitas surtidas and the tripas! Great rice and beans too. And great salsas. And aguas Frescas. Service is great too! I'd deduct one star cos it's so expensive. And the chicharrón, which I've gotten 4x, is too dry and hard. But I won't because they deserve a higher overall rating. read more

Great tasty carnitas and great selection of other Mexican products. I highly recommend.

This is now My favorite spot in BP. read more

Has changed from my original visit, I found the food not authentic. The carnitas family pack was served cool, had to request it be served hot. The meat was not anything special compared to premade ready to buy heat up at your home. The soda was flat no bubbles. read more

This was a nasty place. Sandia Agua tasted spoiled(returned it), we were served chips in a bag!! A bag and given 2 plates to put chips on. Chorizo was over cooked. Nothing tasted fresh at all. We left and 3 of us were sick! We will never return. read more

This has to be the worse place to come and eat the food is way over priced and it's so salty. Also they charge you 3 dollars to use credit or debit card without even telling you. read more

Carnitas Uruapan Restaurant - Small shrimps - Mexican Near Me - Baldwin Park, California

New place. I'm very impressed. It was clean and server was very social he made sure we got exactly what we wanted. First thing to arrive at the table was a soup (Sopita)courtesy of the house and it was delicious. Homemade like grandma makes. I ordered 2 tacos de carnitas mixta and 1 Chicharon. If I had known the portions were on a regular size tortilla which is not a bad thing. I would have only gotten 2. But it was so soft the meat was delicious with the right amount of salt and it was fresh and they didn't cut all the meat up like ground beef. The sliced and pulled apart the meat into the tacos. I totally appreciate that. This place is new and off to a great start. I truly hope they stay the same way in the long run. Best of luck. read more

Came a couple weeks ago 45 minutes before their "closing" posted time only to find they were already closed. I just gave them a call to see if they were open before going, someone answered and hung up right away. Called for a second time and now it goes to a voicemail machine. Please update your hours to reflect accurate time and work on your customer service. read more

I recently discovered this restaurant and thought I would give it a try definitely worth the drive. I love that. They have many different varieties and their juices are made fresh. read more

I was so excited to try this new restaurant when I saw the sign open. So I went and will Never be back. Food, service and the inside were ALL MEDIOCRE. Also the price of food is crazy expensive for what you get. I'm giving it a 1 star because I'm not aloud to put a 0. Please don't waste your time and money going to this restaurant. read more

Patrons are very inconsiderate for others. They have their kids with the iPad full blast volume kids shows and others seat by themselves in the big table leaving families with no seating. Bigger complain is the patrons not the staff, but we can't do anything about that. Or can we... read more
