Pork good. Nice pkg. But needs spice.

Pork Al Pastor Tacos
The salsa verde spilled, the tortillas got clipped during packaging and the seal almost was broken because of the tortillas. The taste of the meat was good, but the packaging was not up to par.

Pork Al Pastor Tacos
Loved this. Always wondered what al pastor was. One extra nice thing about this meal is it is divisible, I had 1/2 for lunch and will probably have the rest for lunch tomorrow

Pork Al Pastor Tacos
Really good taste. Unfortunately my first mouthful was all fat. Will try again to see if this is typical
