I made this for Easter dinner, and it was fantastic. I used only 2 pounds pork but kept the marinade and criollo proportions the same--glad I did! I will definitely be making this again, thank you so much Julie for a special recipe!

umm, umm good. We really enjoyed this recipe. We didn't add all the red vinegar but the recipe was still wonderful. Thanks loves2 teach for the great recipe. I am going to try the recipe with chicken for the grill next!

Interesting flavor. Not as good as my local Cuban restaurant serves, but that is probably because I am not an authentic Cuban cook! Mine was a little dry but I probably overcooked it.

This is an excellent tasting roast pork. I followed the recipe except for one item: when cooking the roast, I put it in a plastic bag (the one used for turkeys). The pork came out extremely tender, and DELICIOUS>>>>. My family loved it.

This is really delicious! I've made it twice so far and the first time was when my in-laws were in town. When I walked in the house from running errands, the smell was incredible and my father-in-law and husband were literally hovering over the stove in anticipation! I haven't been able to achieve fork-tenderness, so maybe the next time I will decrease the temp and cook overnight. But the taste is out of this world, and the meat is still very tender. Thanks for a great recipe!

I have made this twice. First time it didn't turn out as well, because I was stingy with the fresh orange juice. 2nd time it was awesome. everyone loved it. The citrus favor was definitely. More people needs to see this recipe, because it is a must try! So easy and very delicious!

It's the mojo that makes this recipe. I have access to sour oranges so I tinkered with the ingredients/proportions a lot, but I followed the instructions for the onions. They are amazing! I will be keeping these on hand for lots of things.

Made this about a month ago...making it again today. We used to live in Tampa and would get roast pork from La Teresita on Columbus. Best roast pork period. This recipe was better. Excellent cuban pork recipe. We too skipped the blood oranges and you can decide to make the mojo with the onions or not. If you don't feel like making the onion part, don't despair, the pork stands on its own just fine. We used a boston butt last time and it worked so well we're going with it again today. Thanks for this recipe Julie. I'd been looking for a good cuban pork recipe for some time.

Great recipe! I sent it to everyone I know that loves to cook. I left out the blood oranges and it was still delicious!
