Very good recipe with great flavor.
Excellent taste, but easy on the salt

User: Debra from Clayton, NC User Rating:
My husband really enjoyed this dish, AFTER, I reduced the salt. Fortunately, I read enough of the reviews to see a few that mentioned that the recipe is too salty. So, I reduced the salt to one tablespoon--still too much salt for us. During the cooking process, I poured off some of the liquid and added water to lessen the saltiness. Next time, I'll use even less salt, but I'll definitely try the recipe again.

Exceptional taste. This is a perfect dish to serve to guests. I did not have orange juice and substituted mango juice. Also, I recommend searing both sides of the chops prior to adding juices and turning down to simmer to seal in seasoning rub. I only marinated for 30 minutes and the taste was still great so the preparation and cook time was only 45 minutes.
Great flavor

OMG...These were the best pork chops I have EVER made, and I can make some mean chops. For those of you who thought this recipe asked for too much salt...PLEASE...when cooking (not baking), graduate from table salt to Kosher salt. It makes a HUGE difference. GUY...YOU KOCKED THE COVER OFF WITH THIS ONE!! Keep 'em coming!

Holy cow! These were amazing! I could've eaten all four porkchops myself if I was all by myself! The flavors were delicious. the only thing was that when I was in the middle of eating some of the porkchop wasn't cooked all the way through. So, next time I'll either cook it lower and longer, or just get thinner porkchops. I want to use the Mojo-ness for everything now!

My husband and myself thought this was a great pork chop! Nice change. I preferred the avocado and tomato on the side and my husband liked his on the chop. My husband was working outside and had a beer when time to eat. He said how good it went with the chop so I tried it and WOW! I don't know if the chop made the beer better or vice versa, but anyhow will drink beer with one :-)

I made this 3 times in 2 weeks. The secound time I fried the potatoes and onions in a skillet. It was easier than putting them on the grill. I also used 1 lb. of potatoes. I think the 1 medium is an error. Everyone loved it. They continued to eat even when they were full. They just couldn't stop. I also used what steak was on sale. But DO NOT over cook the steak, medium to medium rare is so tastey and not tough.

This was delicious, but the cooking time was impossible. it needed to cook much longer, and it should really be cooked at a lower temperture over a length of time to get the pork tender.

WOW! I knew as I watched this episode that I needed to try this meal. This was the first time in a long time there were no leftovers. My son was begging for the rest of my pork chop. The rub was wonderful on the pork. It was not too salty at all. I don't belive you are meant to use the entire rub on the pork chops just enough to give it some flavor. This may be where past reviewers went wrong. Great! Wonderful! Love it!!
Fantastic!

User: Diana from Kearneysville, WV User Rating:
This was the first recipe of Guy's that I tried and the pork chops were amazing! They had such wonderful flavor and color, especially combined with the potatoes. I used boneless pork chops and cut the Kosher salt in half. It was still too salty for my taste, so I'll cut it back further next time. But this wasn't enough to rate it less than 5 stars. Definitely a keeper for my recipe box! As for the negative reviews, I think you either like these bold flavors or you don't - there's no in between. My husband has eaten Cuban food at several DC restaurants and said it tasted just like one of the dishes he would order!
Excellent!

I was a little hesitant after reading previous reviews regarding the salt level in this recipe. I went ahead as the recipe stated, used kosher salt, and this one is a winner. To my taste, it was not too salty at all.

The prep work is simple. We made this on a night when we didn't want to fuss in the kitchen. The flavors were OK, although I'm not sure what makes this "Cuban". Bobby Flay has a similar sauce that we think tastes a lot better.

I thought this recipes was wonderful, and I agree with the person who suggested not skipping the avacado & tomato - they truly compliment the dish well. And for all those who found the dish too salty - they probably didn't use Kosher Salt as the recipe called for, and used table salt instead. There IS a difference.
very good

My kids loved this though I didn't think it was as tender as I expected it to be. And when I deglazed, I just used the white wine rather than the orange juice and lime juice. I'll make it again.

The only reason this didn't rate 5 stars is the amount of salt called for in the recipe.Yuck - Doesn't our country have enough hypertension? After reducing the salt to about 1 1/2 tsps. thought this was a fabulous recipe. What great flavor to the pork, quick to prepare and lovely presentation.

I really don't care too much for pork chops but these ROCK!!!!!!! I am in love with this recipe! They rub was way too salty, so next time we'll only use 1/4 (of salt) of what the recipe calls for. The sofrito mash was different but the more I ate it the more I couldn't stay out of it! This is great as leftovers! MMMMMMMMMMM

Very tender and flavourful. Don't skip the garnish - the cool mild avocado really complemented the spicy pork. My only complaint would be that it was too salty. I will definitely make it again, but I will cut the amount of salt in half.
TOO SALTY

User: Anonymous User Rating:
I'm Cuban living in the states for many years. I decide to try your recipe because I like my heritage and I wanted to try new and different things involving my culture. But these recipe first is not cuban, doesn't taste like and worst than that is TOO SALTY. I really don't know why we make the impression that in the caribbean we used a lot of salt and spices, we do but not to the extreme. We like to cook with spices, but we usually like to taste the true flavor of the meat and the spices. I'm so sorry if it sounds rude in any way. But really, I want to help you understand the true Cuban Cuisine. To let you know an example, we boil sometimes the meat so it doesn't taste that salty. And instead of using a pan we like more grilling them.

Wow. This recipe was suprisingly easy to make. I had never made pork chops before and they turned out tender and juicy. All of the ingredients really give the meat a ton of flavor and I think marinating the pork chops for an hour really seals that in. I loved it and have been telling all of my friends. Thanks for a new favorite!
