These tacos are a great way to change up your taco night routine. The carnitas are a nice change from the usual ground beef or chicken.

I thought the tacos were a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using a milder cheese next time.

The tacos were good, but I think I would prefer them with a different type of cheese. Maybe cheddar or mozzarella.

The carnitas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more seasoning next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the carnitas turned out dry and tough. I'm not sure what went wrong.
