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.
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!
