    Very Good
    i didn't make it in the crockpot. I was looking for a recipe to use leftover pork loin. OMgosh, this was so good. I'm taking the leftovers to work today! I don't know about cooking it in a crock pot either but on the stove top it is awesome. - 1/8/16

    Bad
    I don't know where to start on how poor a recipe this is. I don't think it was ever made in a crock pot.....it's not suitable. Thinking I might be wrong, I tried it and it just doesn't work. Furthermore, all the seasoning is lost in the excessive lime juice. What a waste of time and effort...BAH - 12/19/13
