This is the exact same dressing as Cafe Rio’s. If I had them side by side I wouldn’t be able to tell a difference. The site that I got the recipe from had been working to perfect it for a year. This was absolutely amazing over my Cafe Rio Pulled Pork Salad!

    This was outstanding. I made half of the recipe and it perfect.
    It has a tang that was perfect on the baja tacos.
