Our DIY 'Cafe Rio' dinner

I mentioned a few posts ago that I was going to recreate our favorite food from Cafe Rio with the help of this recipe. I first used this sweet pork recipe over a year ago, and liked it, but I couldn't remember being blown away.

Well, I did it again, and this time, we were pretty dang close to being blown away; it turned out really really good. This time though, I chose to use Dr. Pepper instead of Coke. I don't know if that was the "secret" to the success or what, but it just turned out better this time. I didn't use the exact same type/cut (?) of pork that this person suggested, just because they didn't have it at my grocery store. I can't really remember what I used, sorry...but it was close enough.

Here are some low quality pictures of our high quality grub that night. I also made some homemade pico and guac. Just thinking about it makes me almost salivate.
