I really wanted to like it, but I just had more fun preparing it than eating it. I just found the marinade waaaaay too limey. Sour, acidic, and overpowering, it really should have had some other liquid going in than the lime juice. On the other hand, the family adored it and really loved the lime-cilantro combo. In the right proportions it can be delicious, but something was off on this one. With some tweaking, this has potential to be a huge winner.
