These tacos were a little too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a store-bought taco seasoning mix. Next time, I'll make my own seasoning blend.

I love the combination of flavors in these tacos. The pork is savory, the salsa is tangy, and the avocado crema is creamy and cooling.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tacos didn't turn out as good as the ones in the picture. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The pork was a little dry for my taste, but the rest of the taco was great.

I love that this recipe uses soft shells instead of hard shells. It makes the tacos so much easier to eat, and they're not as messy.
