Its just like a good mexican restaurants food, loaded with great flavor. Me & my friends ate these with queso fresco hot sauce & tortillas until we were stuffed. Keeping in favorites.

Passable. This was my first attempt at Ropa Vieja, but being from Central America.. something just didn't fit. I'll be trying again, but with many, many changes.
