Carnitas Uruapan Market (Eduardo de la Torre)
Quality assessment
Caveats
IDENTITY WARNING resolved: this is the Carnitas Uruapan MARKET at 2102 E Cesar E Chavez Ave, Boyle Heights, LA -- NOT carnitasuruapan.com (a same-named but unrelated business in Santa Ana, CA) and NOT carnitasuruapanchi.com (an unrelated Chicago chain). Two independent LA press sources (Thrillist, LA Mag) both confirm this exact Boyle Heights location and the De La Torre family relationship. Entity is a carniceria/market with an on-premises nixtamal mill -- primarily sells carnitas retail AND produces masa, not a sit-down restaurant. FAMILY RELATIONSHIP FLAG: owner Eduardo/Eddie De La Torre is the brother of Guisados co-founder Armando De La Torre Sr. -- a real, separately-owned business (not the same legal entity/vertical integration), but not fully arm's-length either; do not treat as independent third-party corroboration in the same way an unrelated supplier would be.
