First of all, 5 stars for Goya Mojo Criollo. It is fabulous. I use it to marinate everthing: chicken, fish, shrimp, pork, or beef. If you love tangy, citrusy, flavorful food then this is the best marinade in my opinion. It also helps keep the food moist. However 1 star for Amazon Grocery, I was pretty annoyed after I bought the two bottles from Amazon for 13.99 and then walked into a regular grocery store to find that each bottle sells for 2.94.

Mojo criollo is one of the better marinades I've used, and compared to most of the stuff you'll find at the grocery, it's a unique, and to be frank, superior alternative. A mixture of vinegar, spices (garic chief among them), onion and citrus juices (lime, bitter orange), Mojo Criollo will impart a full, tangy flavor to whatever meat or poultry you're cooking, as well as add to it's overall juicyness. Wonderful for grilling (grilled some chicken breasts marinated in it earlier tonight), and a vital addition to black beans if you want to prepare them in the traditional Cuban manner (my mother, a native of Jovellanos, Matanzas in Cuba swears by it...and I'll swear by her black beans).

I used this marinade for chicken before broiling it in the oven to add to chicken enchiladas. This marinade is also good with pork. It has a mouth-watering flavor that adds spice to your cooking. Please bring it back. I moved to the North East and cannot find this marinade anywhere up here.

We were by a caterer that they used this marinade for their grilled chicken...it was super yummy.
