This recipe for Slow Cooked Cafe Rio Style Sweet Barbacoa Pork from Skinnytaste sounds amazing and is one that Gina created when she got requests from readers to try to create a healthier version of Cafe Rio’s Sweet Pork. Gina admits she has never eaten at Cafe Rio, but she looked at lots of copycat recipes to come up with this version which she says was a big hit with her family. She gives two suggestions for how to serve it, and both look good!
My family has a lot of avid Cafe Rio sweet pork fans, so I’ll definitely be sharing this with them! (And Coke Zero is not really a “from-scratch” ingredient, but I couldn’t resist featuring this one.)
