I had never learned Spanish before (beyond what you learn on "Sesame Street") and I remember thinking how good the "Tacos de Conchinita Pibil" sounded. However, I made such a huge fool of myself trying to pronounce it. I remember that night I was excited to try the dish, but I had foolishly filled up on tortilla chips and salsa beforehand. The next time I went back I exercised restraint on the chips and ordered it again, practicing my Spanish first.<br /><br />I have only ever been to Mexico twice and that was via cruise ship. I remember on the first trip we docked at Cozumel, took a tender to Playa Del Carmen, and then took a bus to Xcaret Park. I ate at one of their open air restaurants and enjoyed my Tacos de Conchinita Pibil once more. I think that was the best Mexican meal I ever ate (being in a beautiful place in warm weather always makes food taste better, doesnt' it?)<br /><br />I always had it with pork. I should definitely try your chicken version, which SPP would enjoy much more!The Short (dis)Order Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510572788683143569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-4217719378763501732014-03-21T08:55:48.326-07:002014-03-21T08:55:48.326-07:00Val, the wedding pictures look like a dream.

The recipe looks great too.
