Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the tasty combination, though some found the pork too salty or smoky. The charred pineapple salsa was a hit with most.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, making it great for busy lifestyles. The recipe was simple to follow with short prep and cook times.
  • Suggestions: Some recommend adding chilli for extra kick. Others suggest using less Tex-Mex seasoning and pairing with garlic aioli instead of smoky.
  • Portions: Many felt there wasn't enough pulled pork to adequately feed four people, especially for hearty appetites.
  • Leftovers: A few found the lettuce wilted quickly, affecting storage. Consider using the lettuce promptly for best freshness.
