I've made these carnitas several times now, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The meat is so juicy and flavorful, and the crispy bits are addictive. I love serving them with tortillas, salsa, and guacamole, but they're also great on tacos or burrit

These carnitas were amazing! The meat was so tender and flavorful, and the crispy bits were irresistible. I served them with tortillas, salsa, and guacamole, and they were a huge hit. I'll definitely be making these again soon.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my carnitas turned out dry and tough. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened. Maybe I should have used a different cut of pork?

I had high hopes for these carnitas, but I was disappointed. The meat was dry and tough, and the flavor was bland. I won't be making these again.

These carnitas were a bit too fatty for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try making them again with a leaner cut of pork next time.

I'm not a huge fan of pork, but these carnitas were incredible. The meat was so tender and flavorful, and the salsa verde was the perfect complement. I'll definitely be making these again soon.
