Living out in the Midwest, we don’t have the luxury of Cafe Rio.
So, I found this copycat recipe to make and it did the trick!
I LOVE Cafe Rio Sweet Pork!
I broke it down into steps and remember to marinate it overnight for best results!
Then just toss it into the crock pot the next day and let the wonderful aroma fill your house.
To make it a low carb way, I have a photo below, just place it on a bed of chopped romaine!
Enjoy!

2 pounds pork (rib meat or loin)
¾ cup coke
¼ cup brown sugar
step 2:
1 cup coke

step 3:
