    So tender and easy! It was hard to control how much I ate since it is so good and just falls apart!

    The meat was fall off the bone tender but I didn't think that the flavors really penetrated all the meat. No one at my house was falling over each other to finish this off.

    This recipe has been a BIG hit at our house. My family has requested it 2 Sunday's in a row, and I'm making it for a crowed today! Very easy receipe. Make the Pico and Rice recipe too , and have tortilla's for everyone! There are never any leftovers!

    This was a HUGE hit. Honestly, I was skeptical at first. However, this dish turned out delicious. I can't wait to make it again! Don't forget all the extras (pico, avocado, cheese, tortillas, etc. Next time, I'm going to have a salsa verde sauce ready. It needs some kind of sauce.... otherwise, excellent.

    Melissa, OMG, this recipe is a keeper. So flavorful and so good. I could only find a pork butt/shoulder with a small bone but bought it anyways, as it added a ton of flavor. I didn't have a fresh orange so I used orange juice instead, came out awesome. I left some of the pork shredded and 1/2 put in a frying pan to crisp it up, so worth the extra time to crisp it up, so good. I then layerd it with my own Jasmine cilantro lime rice, then the meat, cheese, your pico de gallo (awesome!!!, green scallions and sour cream on top. Big hit, tasted like eating at Chipotle Mexican Grille for half the cost. This is a keeper. My family loved it and will make it again and next time for a crowd!! Just a great family meal.

    Family loved it! Cooked it overnight in the slow cooker; and instead of frying it I reduced some the drippings, added some cumin and chili powder, then mixed with the shredded meat. Everyone devoured it! Will definitely cook again!

    Melissa, in a word....AWE-some! I was looking for something to do with half a pork shoulder roast, and I came across your recipe...so easy and SO delicious! I saved half of it, stuck it in the fridge right in the crockpot, and it was even better tonight than last night. We didn't fry or sautee it after we shredded it. We just didn't think there was any need, it was so delicious already!
