    Stopped by here after watching the IG videos...plus there's a happy hour that I was curious about. I ordered 2 pounds of cuero and carnitas to go. It comes with lemons, cilantro & onions, and 2 cups of salsa that you choose and serve yourself. The carnitas/cuero mix was delicious...it took me way back to when we'd have parties and my abuelo would make carnitas and cuero in the cazo de cobre. I really really liked the cuero...but i think the mix with carnitas gives it the right texture. Happy hour is beers and micheladas $2.99 and $3.99 no food items and it's available Monday-Thursday all day. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other meats and a michelada

    Social Media advertising can definitely lure you in. Some nice videos or neatly setup pictures can entice you. The flash is nice and all but there must be substance behind it. After following Carnitas Uruapan on IG and seeing all the buildup leading up to their Ontario opening, I was hell bent on driving over to Ontario from Fontana just to try their specialty, the carnitas. I mean, can you ever go wrong with carnitas? I drove the 20 something minutes to Ontario, I ordered 2 lbs of carnitas to go along with 2 lbs of rice and 2 lbs of beans. Sadly, the carnitas were a disappointment. They were very bland and lacked flavor, they were definitely not like any carnitas I had ever had before. When I got home I served myself a plate with some carnitas with the rice and beans and even had some of their tortillas. The beans were the best part of that plate. All that to say I would not come here again for carnitas.

    Dry carnitas

    The carnitas were dry and tasted boiled, no flavor at all. The salsas are watered down, no flavor, only good thing was the asada burrito, beans, rice. The cueritos were okay, I don't think I would return 15$ for a pound of meat

    Fat (this is just half of it)

    Tried this place for the first time and will not be returning. We ordered a family pack on the website and was given a pick up time. When we arrived they had no idea what we were there to pick up. The order was still sitting on the machine. When we got home and opened up the carnitas we had about a pound of fat we had to pull out. The size of rice and beans for a family of 4 pack was super tiny and had to order more while we were there. The meat was ok tasting but because we couldn't pull out all the fat I kept bitting into pieces of fat. I'd pass on this place unless you like paying $30 for 2 lbs of carnitas with a pound of it being just fat.

    Closed early

    15 minute drive to get here and they locked the doors and closed early. Says they are open until 8pm. At 6:45 pm they had already closed.

    Birria de Chivo (goat meat)
    Yecica S.

    I've never been to the actual location but I've gotten several plates brought to me from my in laws. I've tried the birria (goat meat) and carnitas. The birria is soo good. It's hard to find it being made of goat and the taste is just plain delicious. Their brown salsa reminds me of eating at Mexico. Only 4 stars because their carnitas were just alright.

    The tacos are very delicious and filling the salsas are fresh and they also had a strawberry lemonade which was delicious as well, you can purchase how many Lbs you'd like and it is worth it!

Fun team of waiter and waitresses. You can go and enjoy some Mariachi on Sundays from 12pm -3pm and I cannot wait to go back for another dinner date. They serve you chips and salsa while you look at the menu, no pressure. Great recommendations, the plating is appealing and the food is authentic tasting I enjoyed my chile relleno plate. There is a nice bar area, plenty of tables for a larger group if that is your choice. You can't beat that a cute little local place to enjoy a wonderful dinner!

You get large portions and worth the price IMO. The food came out in lightening speed ! Which was shocking and loved how fast we were able to eat. The only negative thing I can say about their new place is the service. The service was great but they interrupted our meal several times and I felt like we couldn't take a breath to enjoy the food. The server kept asking if we were ok but we barely got our food and we were asked several times while trying to enjoy it. Also the photographer just coming up to use while we ate. We literally took pics with food in our mouths. Everything seemed so rushed. With all the times we were asked if we were okay or needed anything no server came with a pitcher of water to refill our cups. None of them asked about our drinks either. I will be back but maybe in the day time and not the evening time. ( to see if it will be different) the owner or manager needs to tell staff to kind of chill on asking people if they are ok especially when we barely got our food and interrupted several times during the meal. Let people eat and enjoy it for a little bit before being asked like every 5 mins lol

The dining area is a very clean and comfortable. Once seated, an aji verde salsa and cancha was brought to the table. The cancha is a nice touch, the corn is crispy and light. I ordered the Pollo Saltado with an extra portion of rice and a Chicha Morada. The beverage was very refreshing. The meal came out quickly. The chicken was tender and well seasoned with soy without being too salty. There was a fair amount of onions and tomatoes which were stir-fried along with the meat. The fries were freshly made with a light crispy exterior and creamy interior to soak up the saltado sauce. The aji verde salsa was on the spicy side but tasted good as an accompaniment to the dish. There was plenty of sauce from the stir fry for the extra portion of rice I ordered. I plan on ordering the Lomo Saltado next time. The staff were polite and efficient. Plenty of parking in their lot. Definitely on the list for the next time I am in the area.

Better than any other place I have tried this dish at. Perfect blend of each ingredient. The sweet then spicy chiles that come on the side compliment this meal. Add the green sauce they serve and you have a fire worth fighting. I definitely recommend this dish if you stop by here. Tallarin verde con lomo- the lomo was delicious but the pasta was a little too harsh on the pesto. Still good though. Menu is limited but if you're into lomo you should give this place a try. They take good care of everyone that comes in. Small little spot that has calm energy and good vibes. Not a lot of space but a lot of flavor that will bring you back.
