A Recipe Born from Migration
A Recipe Born from Migration
Pork pastor was born when Lebanese immigrants brought shawarma to Mexico in the early 1900s. Locals swapped lamb for pork and added achiote, pineapple, and Mexican spices. The result? Pastor.
Key Ingredients
Marinated pork with chili, achiote, vinegar
Grilled on a vertical spit (trompo)
Topped with onions, cilantro, and sweet pineapple
NacoTaco Style
We don’t have a spit - but we’ve got flavor. Our pork pastor is grilled flat-top, caramelized just right, and finished with pineapple. It’s bold, smoky, juicy, and totally street legit.
Craving the real thing? One bite and you’ll get why pastor is the king of tacos. Drop by NacoTaco and say ¡buen provecho, carnales!
