Everything. I love the food it's absolutely amazing. It's a family business which I admire because I see teenagers working and they have excellent customer service, even if they don't always know something, it's amazing. I always see the owner walking around and looking at things, I like a business owner who's involved. The carnitas are so GOOD. I love there menudo and huaraches. I recommend this place if you are looking for a family place or homemade food. read more

Ive tried the majority of carnitas in the area and these by far are the best carnitas in pilsen. The service is amazing, i am actually in awe. Especially when there is a line for the carnitas in the morning, they make sure no one cuts in line or tries to sneak in! SERIOUSLY what makes me love this place and come often. They have seating for dining in and just a great atmosphere overall. Definitely recommend getting your carnitas from here!! read more

Pura Aqua en el pinche menudo.. muy mal! Disappointed with the amount of tripe in my menudo, they need to add more next time. Carnitas are really good but for that I' will give them 3stars.. read more

Carnitas La Michocana - Menudo ... - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great carnitas in a traditional Mexican place. Fresh tortillas made by hand.. I will recommend this place

The food is great , the service unbelievable and the Ambiance , de lo mejor . I recommend this place go and enjoy your self , I sure did ..

Best menudo ever. The broth is clean and tasty and the best of it for me is that it has no homey and it's all meat - yummy. Also tried a asada quesadilla very tasty with avocado and lettuce. We also got some a variety of meat for tacos buche, carnitas and cueritos. This place is very cozy and homey looking and the staff is very friendly and attentive. read more

See all

First time back since they reopen again. Place burnt down a while back.Best carnitas in Pilsen and the Southside.

Don't know what happen but the food is not the same and service is poor . I called in a order and ask them to make sure it was right and when I got back to work it was wrong. Don't know if I will go back read more

Love this place. Carnitas on Sunday always hits the spot! The meat is so juicy and tender. Best carnitas I have had in Chicago.

Everyone who loves these cholesterol laden morsels of fried pork , has their favorite places for carnitas. In Chicago, mine are Don Pedro's on the 18th St. In Pilsen, and Lindo Michoacan market on Lawrence / Kedzie. I stopped at Carnitas La Michoacana because I was in the area. The taqueria sells carnitas and chicharrones that looked awesome in the front window . They were too! The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and even gave me free samples to taste. The carnitas were on the dryer side, but were really well seasoned. Plates coming from the restaurant kitchen looked really authentic. I'll come back and try out the restaurant, read more

The only reason I am giving it three stars as opposed to four is because the Barbacoa lacked flavor. I thought the Carnitas were very well seasoned as well as moist. The carnitas tacos were great and I would return for them but not barbacoa! And they offer flour tortillas. The tortillas appear to be homemade as well. Customer service was great. They except cards which is convenient as well. read more

If you are from Michoacan you would definitely agree with my rating!! When you ask for a lbs they give lbs in a half you ask for 2 lbs they give you 3lbs then they get mad if you ask them to remove extra and if they do they remove all the meat a leave you all the scraps!! read more

This is my second favorite place to come for carnitas. My favorite thing about it, are their homemade tortillas. MMM MMM MMMMMM!! Of course as with all good carnita spots, they get packed. Worth the wait though, so yummy. read more

We frequent this establishment often and their carnitas are decent, but in the past few times I've visited the customer service has been atrocious. The people at the bakery purposely tried to overcharge me of the cake and after I thought the issue was resolved they tried to do It again. About a week ago they also tried to overcharge me for salsa. I don't know if this store is under new management or something but I will no longer be giving them my service. read more

The worst service ever. The supposedly manager just hang up on me .I just ask a question which she answer with many plus she was yelling at me thru the phone. I'm sorry if you were closing but that's all I needed to hear and I would of call back tomorrow. Instead she was mad and hung up on me. I've work in the restaurant business for a couple years and I know that wasn't a proper behavior especially from a manager. I'm hoping they fix this soon because there food is amazing read more

It's been too long!...one of the saddest days when this place caught fire, but after a long rebuild they are finally open again. By far the best carnitas in town. You have several good places around but not like la Michoacána. Just stop by and remember long lines and waiting time = worth while. So happy you are back in business!! Que dieta?! read more

Service sucks but OMG!!! BEST CARNITAS EVER!!!!! While you wait in line to place your order they offer you a sampler of the carnitas. Which the meat has an amazing flavor that makes you want more. You also have to try the gorditas de carnitas....amazing. read more

Best Carnitas in Pilsen! Call ahead to see if they still have carnitas available. Most of the time they are sold out by 4pm!

A hidden gem, neighborhood staple, worth the drive for others not in the immediate area. Pork is extremely tender, cuts like buttah! Menudo is so hearty it is certainly the cure for the common cold. And last but not least homemade tortillas! read more

This Family owned restaurant is my weekend spot forsure! I've been coming here for the past 2years and this is the spot to come get your carnitas on the weekends!There is always a line but that doesn't bother me ,totally worth the wait.( Most I've waited was 10min)They are amazing. The carniceneros are always on top of their game; very respectful and fast with there job. You can definitely stop and eat in as well. And if your craving home made tortillas,just ask and they'll be happy to grab you some. They also have other mexican goodies as your heading to the cashier oh and don't forget your nopales (cactus). read more

Best carnitas in Chicago! On most weekend mornings the line is out the door but it's worth the wait. If you dine in, don't expect the best customer service but the food will make up for it! The tortillas are homemade which is an extra touch! read more

Great carnitas yes it is always packed but the two girls that charge on Sunday's are really rude. I want to enjoy and pay n not have to go back for cebolla n cilantro. N then when u ask for a horchata I don't want eyes rolling, because you have to walk back n get it. I'd only go back for the food. read more
