When I cooked this the house was filled with a delicious smell. But I was very disappointed when the meat came out bland.

Followed advice as given by "naples34102". Liked it so much, I'm making it again for company. Super moist.***Review Update: I've made this 5 times now and it's been consistently fantastic until this last time. It was a little bit drier and slightly more chewy. I cooked this batch from a previously FROZEN rump roast and will NEVER FREEZE the meat again! Why spoil perfection!

Snore... dry and chewy - not enough flavor. Will not waste my time on this one again.

Delicious! I doubled the spices, omitted the cinnamon, and left everything else the same. It was a hit and I will keep this one around. THANKS!

Fantastic! I was looking for a comparable carnitas recipe to the carnitas from Rubios, and these hit the spot! I tripled the spices as recommended by other reviewers, with the case of the exceptions below. I ran out of chicken boullion, so the stock was 3 parts chicken/1 part beef boullion. Because I used the boullion instead of homemade stock (I used it up last week for soup) I also cut the tripled salt in half. All in all, it was bloody fantastic and nothing was left when we were done eating.

Excellent! I added chili powder, rubbed in the spices and then browned mine in a little olive oil on all sides before it headed to the pot. The left-over's were used in a tamale pie the next night. Can't wait to make it again!

Hubby said these made better fajitas than he'd had in an restaurant. I added a quartered sweet onion to the crockpot, as well as fresh minced garlic. Also quartered the meat and doubled the spices.

I made this recipe with the suggestion to double up on the spices except for the cinnamon, but the cinnamon really ruined this recipe and it was too salty for my taste. I liked the other spices and will make again using water and absolutely no cinnamon.

This is very, very good. I too tripled the rub ingredients except for the cinnamon with fantastic results. I added a few splashes of liquid smoke before cooking, and crumbled a beef boullion cube into the crock with 2 cups water. Will definitely make this again. I like mine simple, with white onion and cilantro on a corn tortilla and a squeeze of lime. Delicioso!

I've made this twice now. The first time I used a pork butt and doubled the rub (except cinnamon), followed another reviewers advice and used cilantro instead of coriander, and crisped it up in the oven for a few minutes afterwards. It was melt-in-your mouth great! This time I used a pork shoulder (picnic roast). It was an 8 lber but had a bone. So I deboned it as best as I could and ended up with several good sized chunks. I tripled the rub (except for cinnamon - I doubled it) and it was just enough. I only used one can of chicken broth and that was plenty. The shoulder turned out delicious as well, so just buy whatever is on sale! Butts are usually cheaper, so go with that if you can(did I just say that? haha)

Awesome! So easy- it has a sweet, cinnamony flavor so some might need to add a kick to it, but I loved it and so did my kids. I used water in lieu of chicken broth since I didn't want to run to the store and it was still amazing. Thanks!

This was a good recipe and the pork came out very tender. I used Pork Loin since that is what I had on hand. I added just a little chili powder to the spices. When I reheated it the next day I just baked it for a while to brown it up and it was good in tortilla shells with taco type fixings.

FAB-ulous! I have friend from the San Fransisco area, who has been on the hunt for good restaurant carnitas since I've known him (a few years). I never expected to run across a slow-cooker recipe for them, but love my slow cooker . . . so when I saw this, I had to try it. And OH MY GOD - LOVED this recipe. My husband (the only critic whose opinion I actively seek) also loved them. (Ya!) Oh - and the friend from The City . . two enthusiastic thumbs up ! Thank you PopROcks !!!

I also tripled the amount of seasoning and coated all sides of the meat. If I have any extra seasoning left over, I sprinkle it into the crockpot over the top of the broth. Makes it so good. My husband and I can't get enough of this dish. Smells so good when it's cooking too!

This was actually quite good. I tripled the seasonings, except the salt. 1 tsp of salt is more than enough since the chicken broth also has salt. I also broke up the pieces after 10 hours, placed in 9X13 glass dish and baked at 400 degrees until the meat was crispy enough for us(I did add alittle juice from the crockpot so it didn't dry out too much). The pork was excellent for mexican dishes or on rolls as a sandwich with BBQ sauce.

Yummy! Used chicken stock instead of broth and used cilantro leaves instead of ground coriander. This was so good and easy too! Made burritos with carnitas, guacamole, cheese and sour cream. Will definitely make again-often!
