    I currently have the pork shoulder marinating in the fridge! I'm roasting it in the oven tomorrow, is it best to baste during the roasting process or after it's done? Thanks, Kevin! This looks so delicious.

    Did I get the wrong cut of meat? Asked for pork shoulder at the butcher shop but when I went to slice it all fell apart… was barely held together with string. Marinating now will try cook it tomorrow. I doubt it will layer as nice as in the video, it’s just a chopped up mess

    Can you follow the instructions for the grill method and just put it into the oven? for 3,5 hours with 250 F ? I don't think i will get the same caramelized with the slow cooked oven version

    Guys a majority of so called Mexican restaurants here in the U.S. don't even make these type of tacos like this guy did.
    They now take a shortcut and just take the meat and fry it on a big skillet, with no pineapple, and or drippings of any kind.
    It pisses me off that there is virtually no place to get the type of Taco De Trompo that this guy just made. This man is a genius!

    Video was ok. BUT, why didn't you keep showing it step by step till it was done?
    I'm an idiot, when it comes to cooking, so how did you grill it? I'm thinking you used the oven? Please! Explain it to me as I love these type of tacos, they are my number one favorite. Your final product looks amazing!!

    Oh my gosh I’m dying here! I had this at a local tiny Mexican restaurant. The locals ate their. They didn’t speak much English. So very very delicious. Give me this, Haas avocados and fruit and veggies and I can live off it.
