So last week when I shared my amazing cilantro lime rice recipe I went to link my Cafe Rio Pork copycat at realized I had never blogged it?!?!?!?!?! I was so shocked! Literally this pork is in my top 3 favorite recipes of all time. Easy? Check. Delicious? Check. Feeds a crowd? Double check. I make up a batch in the crock pot and we eat it all week and never get sick of it! It is literally a travesty that it hasn’t been up on the site until now! My sincerest apologies.

Is the pork roast a pork butt/shoulder or pork loin? I’m new to cooking and want to make sure I get the right one… thx!!!
Either would work fun but I usually use a butt!
Thanks for sharing your recipes. What brand of enchilada sauce do u use? I once met the owner of cafe rio and he told me they use coke in their recipe, so I’m excited to try this recipe.
We usually use Old El Paso!
Cafe Rio is my fav! I cant wait to try this copycat version, thanks for sharing!
I could eat this for every meal! Looks delish!
My all-time favorite! I could eat this all day!!
This looks off the hook delish! Any excuse to make tacos, burritos and Enchiladas is an easy yes for me!
Wow, such a delicious and simple meal. love crock pot recipes :)
This pork is perfection! Im hooked!
Yay! So glad you liked it!
This was so tasty! I think our pork roast was only 2 pounds so we had a lot of extra sauce. I served it in taco boats and it was a hit – can’t wait to eat the leftovers!
Oooh that sounds so yummy!!! Just FYI the sauce freezes well too, so if you have tons you can always freeze some for later! So glad you liked it! xoxo
