A Pork Carnitas Taco spread, a copy cat of the famous Carnitas tacos at Old Town Mexican Cafe in San Diego (just 30 minutes from the Mexican border), reputed to be the BEST in town! My Pork Carnitas are ridiculously easy, yet packed full of flavour, succulent and has plenty of the all important golden brown bits!!
