The thing is Barbacoa is made with Cheek Meat, NOT brisket, Not vinegar and certainly no cloves and any self respecting Mexican, would probably throw ya out of their kitchen. My best friend and her husband owned "A Little Taste of Mexico" and there is not even a jalapeno, again would never be done. Maybe y'all should steer clear of Mexican food and they call it Cilantro. Coriander is the seeds to them.
