Tag: Al pastor

Before you get all worked up about multicultural tacos not being real tacos, take a deep breath and consider the al pastor. Tacos irrevocably belong to Mexico, but they are meant to be borrowed—and can be reinterpreted by other cultures to great effect.

The restaurant is owned by a family from Mexico City, and though the place has "tortas" in its name, it offers everything from sopes (a round disc of masa topped with beans, cheese, shredded lettuce, and crema Mexicana) to enchiladas to enormous meat and cheese filled quesadillas.

Good tacos al pastor are worthy of a last meal, and Alpharetta's El Trompo Taqueria knows how to make this Mexico City specialty right.
