These tacos are not very healthy. The pork is fried, and the sauce is high in sugar and sodium. I would not recommend eating these tacos on a regular basis.

The recipe was missing some key ingredients. It didn't specify what kind of tortillas to use, and it didn't include any instructions for making the guacamole. I had to make substitutions and guesswork, which resulted in tacos that were not as good as

The recipe was confusing and difficult to follow. The instructions were unclear, and I had to guess at some of the steps. I ended up with tacos that were not very good.

I was disappointed with these tacos. The sauce was too spicy for my taste, and the pork was overcooked. I also found the toppings to be underwhelming. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I found the tacos to be a bit bland. The sauce lacked flavor, and the pork was dry. I think I would have enjoyed them more if they had more spice and moisture.

The tacos were delicious, but they took longer to make than I anticipated. The sauce required some simmering time, and the pork needed to be marinated for several hours. However, the extra effort was worth it in the end.
