Not to mention Mexican food just plain ROCKS.:thumb:

I couldn't agree more! Especially in Memphis...I couldn't believe I found excellent Mexican cuisine there when I visited a couple of years ago.

Carnitas are braised in lard and ends up crispy, puerco pibil marinates in acidic juices and achiote and cooked until it falls apart. Big difference, but both are fantastic!

Looks amazing! Personally, I find fresh herbs and spices overrated. The dried or pre-made stuff works well for me. I know it's not culinary etiquette to take short cuts, but I'm a backyard cook, not a chef.

Nonetheless, your pibil looks way better than mine...great job!

Yep. Memphis has a very large and diverse Hispanic population which surprises lotsa folks. There are 2 carnicerias, three panaderias and several Supermercados not to mention restaurants within just two miles of my house. Oh! And let's not even mention the tamales!

That looks outstanding!

We used to live in Lombard, IL, and I know my parents were able to get the banana leaves at Jewel when we were there. They shouldn't be hard to find at all.

Achiote

Any ideas on where I can find achiote paste. Not too common here in the Great White North!!!

I had to make some couldn't find it here either. I used a recipe from allrecipes.com but it was more liquid than paste.
