Tacos Al Pastor

Another traditional delicacy in Mexico is a version of tacos called Tacos al pastor, which loosely translates as “tacos, shepherd-style.” The flavorful dish traces back its beginnings to the arrival of middle eastern immigrants to Mexico, particularly those of the Lebanese and the Syrians, who made their way to the Central American country in the 1920s and 30s.

There are many varieties of tacos available in the streets of Mexico, but this holds special because of its history, and of course, its undeniably delicious taste. It is quite similar to its cousins, the yummy doner kebab of Turkey, and the equally-lip-smacking gyros of Greece.

Tacos al Pastor starts with a tortilla, which is then filled with thin slices of succulent, spit-roasted pork, after which, slices of pineapple are added to give a sweet contrast to the savory grilled meat. Chopped coriander and onion slivers give a fragrant finish to this truly one-of-a-kind taco which we guarantee will put a satisfied smile on your face.
