La Michoacana - Chicago

Do not snooze on this place. The carnitas are as good as it gets. Every last bit is soft and buttery, make sure to get some pork belly chopped in the mix (chef's kiss)! They have dine in or roll out with a couple of pounds, make sure you get a pack of their hand made tortillas, already piping hot. These are key to elevating the taco game. The chicharron is nice and with a chip like crispness, I brought a pound home to toss with some salsa Verde (chef's kiss yet again). Great family friendly atmosphere and service. Street parking available. Highly recommend for your party needs as well.

The staff hospitable on another level. It's a definite yes for another visit

The carnitas are excellent, the tacos de barbacoa are amazing, their gorditas de chicharron are excellent. But their Aguas are way too sweet. I came in with coworkers (we had Horchata and Guayaba), and none of us could drink our Aguas. We tried adding water, and that just diluted the flavor. It's too bad because I know the Aguas are from scratch. The Chiles Rellenos were okay, but they were made with the seeds and inside membranes (which I don't like). The service was bad. We got our food fast enough, but then it seemed we were forgotten. We needed napkins, more water and silverware, and everyone disappeared. We had to get our own take out containers because our lunch time was up and we had to go.Extra surcharge on credit cards, they prefer cash.

Delicious food! Beautiful place and amazing service

Great Carnitas, friendly people. Lots of customers.Went there with my friends as a group, they tried it for the first time and liked it a lot. Just a bit of a wait, better for take out if time is a concern when you go in a 5+ group.
