Obligatory OP is a moron. I now live more than an hour from this restaurant, but would still like to have the sauce on this pork dish. Does this look familiar to anyone who can give me some terms to start looking this up. The menu only identifies this as “Number Four” and “Large chunks of choice pork in a spicy sauce.” If you are a native to Kansas City, this is the #4 at Ponaks.

Looks like Chile Colorado
Asado de puerco. It looks like that.
Asado de Chile Colorado…found by searching “mexican food pork in a red sauce” …woah…
Carne Adovada – pork slow-cooked in red chile
Carne adovada
If it’s pork it’s more likely “Asado de puerco”

Whale, then. Looks like you just gave me a new Mexican place to try. I hadn’t been there before. Thanks!
Plating looks a lot like what you’d get in New Mexico, and that’s the description of carne adovada. Basically you make New Mexican red chile sauce and marinate and bake pork in it for several hours.
Clocked Ponak’s instantly.
