Al pastor (from Spanish, "herdsman style"), tacos al pastor, or tacos de trompo is a preparation of spit-grilled slices, usually pork originating in the Central Mexican region of Puebla and Mexico City, where they remain most prominent; today, though, it is a common menu item found in taquerías throughout Mexico. The method of preparing and cooking al pastor is based on the lamb shawarma brought by Lebanese immigrants to the region.

This is a great example of why immigrants bringing their customs and food to another country can lead to great things.

Best tacos ever.

Yes, cultural exchange has led to so much richness in the world! As a lover of crispy shawerma texture and tangy adobada flavor, can't do much better than Al pastor!

Read the title as "ai pastor" and was like, do actual pastors get to claim general intelligence?

He must be destroyed! We must not continue to consume these erotics. We must exterminate the source of sin.

Same here! My mind struggled to align the image of kebab production with the concept of artificial spiritual guidance...

Spinning obelisks of roasting meat composed of layer upon layer of meat and fat is an underrated form of food 🤤

eating body parts and shit

No, just the body parts.

The shit is from a different part, and wouldn't be used in this fashion

I cooked a pork shoulder al pastor style on my smoker last spring... kind of a PITA but still one of my favorite things I've smoked so far.

Truly the GOAT of taco meats!
