"I needed something fast with ingredients on hand. This recipe came up and what a winner it was. I did add 1 tablespoon of chili powder to the marinade. The secret to this one is to avoid using tenderloin that has been treated with a salt solution. I think that may have been the issue with prior reviewers who thought it might be the cut of meat that was off. Thank you for this fantastic keeper. Its a hit." - OaxacaCookin

    Good idea for a change of pace. I really must not have had the best cut of meat... mine had a far more whitish color than the one in the photo. The tenderloin was good, but not exceptional. Will make it again, but will look for a better pork tenderloin.

    Very good. Will make this again for sure.

    I thought it was very good! However, I felt it needed a kick so I added some crushed red pepper.

    I needed a fast and easy recipe for pork tenderloin and I chose this due to the prep/marinade time... It was excellent and flavorful, but probably would have been even better with a 1-2 hour if not more rest in the marinade. I would definitely make this again. I might add a little more spice to it... perhaps some jalapeno or red pepper flakes.

    Good flavor. I recommend marinading for a few hours instead of 30 minutes. Making it for the second time tonight.

    I needed a simple grilled dish with fabulous taste to prepare for our Church barbecue fundraiser. We choose this proven recipe and cooked up a total of 28 tenderlions. Super moist and perfectly delicious, they were everything I wanted them to be..and then some!! They were a huge hit with our congregation and were devoured as fast as they came off the grills.

    An excellent recipe that was seriously delicious! The combination of cilantro and citrus in the marinade complimented each other perfectly and infused the tenderloins with lots of South-of-the-Border flavor. This dish is easy enough for everyday, yet elegant enough for company. I will definitely make this many more times!
