This came out great! Delicious. I didn't see the written down version of this recipe; instead I had watched the video and winged it from there. Didn't add enough salt and pepper as a result, but it tasted good when I seasoned to taste after serving to the plate.
Spiciness: not spicy enough for me, but then again, I'm Indian and grew up on spicy Indian food.
I forgot to add the Worcestershire sauce, still tasted just fine.
I impulsively added a container of sliced mushrooms, which I recommend.

One thing to keep in mind: make sure your slow cooker is big enough: that pork shoulder is pretty big, and I had to cut mine down a bit (about 20% off.

I will definitely make this again!

This dish was so incredibly fast and easy. The meat really falls of the bone and taste like carnitas but much healthier. I skipped the onion but instead got some queso fresco. So incredible. . The pork shoulder was perfect.

I thought the meat was very good and moist and the onions ROCKED!, loved, loved the the whole taco. My only disapointment was I thought it would be spicier. My whole family loved them as well. I will be making this again but will make it spicier. I Also used the the left overs for pulled pork sandwiches with a really easy slaw: 1 bag of slaw, cilantro, granny smith apple thinly sliced, lime juice, salt, pepper, a pinch of red pepper flakes amd a drizzle of olive oil.

This recipe looks complicated but it's very simple (to see the video, see "Low and Slow Pork Tacos" and it's $ saving! Make the pickled onions a day or so ahead to save time. I always make something in the slow cooker when my folks come into town so that I can throw it in the crock pot in the morning and the rest of my day is free to do other things. This was the perfect alternative to my usual pot roast. We all loved it! I used 3 cloves of garlic and I chopped them. I also removed seeds from the peppers because I'm a wuss with heat. Then, rather than salt & pepper, I used about 1/2 packet of taco seasoning (just because that's how I usually season my taco meat. Once it was finished cooking I turned the slow cooker to low and as I shredded the pork I returned it to the pot to stay warm til we were ready to eat. With the leftovers, the next night I added a packet of McCormick's Slow Cookers BBQ Pulled Pork seasoning mix along with the other ingredients it calls for and we had BBQ pulled pork sandwiches!

I almost left out the onions when making this and I'm glad I didn't, they make the dish. DO NOT LEAVE OUT THE ONIONS! They are incredible, I did however double the amount of ingredients when doing the onions though.
I had pork shoulder ribs when cooking this dish and cut them down into 2 inch cuts when placing them into the slow cooker which I think helped cook the chunks better and allowed more flavor to hit all sides. The pork was falling off of the fork when I took the chunks out and barely had to pull it apart because it was so tender. The flavor of the meat was incredible too, and a perfect accent with the onions. I thought the onions would overpower everything else in the dish, but they all worked together very well.
Must try recipe and a favorite int he house now.

This has become one of my favorite recipes. But, I will say it's very important to get pork shoulder, and not any other part - I got pork butt on accident and it didn't have the flavor of the shoulder, and it didn't fall apart like I wanted it too.

I find the pickled onions to be too strong so I don't include them, and we have lettuce instead of cabbage. But it's easy and yummy.

I made this recipe and ommitted the pickled onions from the tacos. While the pork was very tender and smelled delicious, it did not have much flavor on its own - I was expecting more. The tacos were good enough when assembled (even without the pickled onions, but when I tried to use the leftover pork for sandwiches, the flavor was just too bland to stand alone.

This was so easy to make. I loved the pickled red onion. I put a couple of jalapenos in the pickled red onion. This dish had such wonderful flavors. I topped the tacos with sour cream, avacodo, and the picked red onion on corn tortillas. This had a light and fresh taste. My family enjoyed these as soft flour tortillas tacos. I used the remaining pork for BBQ pork sandwiches for another meal. Excellent!!

I made this tonight for my family. They all loved it. My husband, at the last minute, invited his co-workers for dinner and they loved it too!
