Fear not the “tacos al pastor”



There is a little taqueria in town that sells great tacos. (Not the Taco Bell kind, but the real kind – sliced beef with corn tortillas.) For a couple of weeks, we stared at this inverted cone of meat when we walked in the restaurant, afraid to give it a try. When we finally we gave it a shot, we loved it, and haven’t ordered anything else since.

Tacos al pastor are tacos with thinly sliced pieces of pork, which has been marinated, cooked, stacked and skewered in a cone shape. They garnish them with diced onions and cilantro, and add a slice of pineapple that sits on top of the cone. At 2 pesos (20¢) each, you can eat as many as you please. And we do.
