Pork Kabobs (Pinchos) image

In Puerto Rico pinchos are grilled pork or chicken kabobs. They are just to die for! They are served with a slice of bread at the very tip. If you don't have a pilón (mortar and pestle) you can mix your marinade in a food processor or blender. From about.com.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my kabobs didn't turn out as well as I expected. The pork was a bit tough and the marinade didn't seem to do much.

These pork kabobs were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would marinate the pork for longer next time.

I'm not a big fan of pork, but these kabobs were surprisingly good. The marinade really helped to tenderize the pork and give it a great flavor. I would definitely make these again.

These pork kabobs are so easy to make and they're always delicious. I love that you can use whatever vegetables you have on hand. I usually use bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms, but you could also use zucchini, squash, or tomatoes.

I've been making these pork kabobs for years, and they're always a hit. The marinade is the key to the flavor, and I always make sure to let the pork marinate for at least a few hours before grilling.

These pork kabobs are a great way to use up leftover pork. I usually make them with pork tenderloin, but you can also use pork loin or chops. The marinade is simple to make and really adds flavor to the pork.

I love making these kabobs for parties because they're always a crowd-pleaser. The pork is always juicy and tender, and the marinade gives it a great flavor. I usually serve them with grilled pineapple and a dipping sauce.

These kabobs were easy to make and turned out great! I marinated the pork for a few hours before grilling, and it was so tender and flavorful. I served them with grilled vegetables and rice, and it was a delicious meal.

I'm not usually a fan of pork, but these kabobs were amazing! The combination of the pork, vegetables, and marinade was perfect. I'll definitely be making these again soon.

These pork kabobs were a hit at my last barbecue! The meat was tender and juicy, and the marinade gave it a delicious flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.
