Yucatan Pork?

[Marzoli]

We used to have a wonderful Mexican restaurant in our town-it closed for reasons having nothing that I know of to do with whether the food was good or traffic flow.
They served a plate called Yucatan Pork that was to die for.
Anybody got any ideas about how to make the meat portion? The rest of the plate was pretty easy for me to figure out, but that meat was just too good to be real, and I don't really LIKE meat that much!

My guess.

Pork Shoulder (smaller cuts are Picnic and Boston Butt).

It was probably marinated in achiote/ground annatto and sour orange juice with some garlic.

Then grill roasted slowly.

Scroll down this link and you'll see a pibil style chicken dish. I suspect it's done the same way.

Thanks! I plan to look into this! I miss that restaurant SO much! The ingredients sound right as far as I can tell. It's a great starting place. I would never have found this on my own.
Thanks so much!

It's called cochinita pibil. Google it & you'll find plenty of recipes.

Wow! Thanks!
