I used boneless pork loin for this recipe and it turned out tough. I think next time I will use pork shoulder instead.

This was my first time making Mexican pork and it turned out amazing! The pork was so tender and the sauce was flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This was a great recipe! I used pork shoulder and it turned out fall-off-the-bone tender. I also added a bit of spice by adding a chopped jalapeño to the sauce. Would definitely make this again!
