Carnitas Uruapán

Frommer's Review

Carnitas, a beloved dish in Mexico, consists of marinated pork roasted on a spit until it's falling-apart tender, and then served in chunks with tortillas, salsa, cilantro, guacamole, and onions. At Carnitas Uruapan, the meat is served by the kilo (or portion thereof) at long, communal wooden tables to a mostly local crowd, accompanied by mariachi music. A half-kilo of carnitas is plenty for two people and costs around $15, including beans and that impressive array of condiments. It's a casual feast without compare, but vegetarians need not apply.
