    Very Good
    Good but we changed it and made it better by not adding tequila and instead adding crushed pineapple during cooking and after. It really helped balance out the lime and spice. - 3/27/10

    Bad
    Had very little flavor, the chicken was dry and it had a terrible after taste. Followed the recipe to a t. - 11/11/09
