01 · The base
Al pastor pork
The pork, marinated with our recipe and cooked on the trompo just like in Mexico's taquerías, is the base of the taco al pastor. That is where its juicy meat and signature flavour come from.

§ 02 · The ingredients
Tacos al pastor with the finest Mexican ingredients
Every taco al pastor we serve starts with ingredients brought from Mexico. We make no compromises with the original recipe, because real flavour only comes from real produce. Here is what goes into each one.
02 · The crunch
Onion
Fresh chopped onion, adding the crunch and the touch of sweetness that balances the meat. One of those basics a good taco al pastor just would not be the same without.
03 · The counterpoint
Coriander
Fresh coriander is the perfect counterpoint to the meat. It brings aroma and freshness to every bite, and without it a taco al pastor would not be a taco al pastor.
04 · The final touch
Pineapple
Pineapple is the final touch that sets a taco al pastor apart from other tacos. Its sweet, tangy contrast lifts the meat and rounds off every bite.
§ 03 · Your way
How we serve our tacos al pastor
We serve every taco al pastor as a single piece, made to order and with 100% Mexican ingredients. No fixed portions, no batches: you decide how many you want, and we make them on the spot.
01
Choosing your tacos
Each taco is built on a corn tortilla with al pastor pork, onion, coriander and its touch of pineapple. They are sold by the unit, so you order as many as you like and mix flavours without committing to a set menu, always with Mexican ingredients. See the full range on our menu.
02
Drinks and sides to pair
Tacos call for a drink, which is why we offer margaritas, micheladas and tequilas that pair with al pastor. Add guacamole, quesadillas or tamales as starters or to round off the table. Order whatever you fancy, no rush, in a warm and easy-going setting.
03
Dine in or delivery
Whichever you prefer. Eat them in the restaurant, freshly made, or order them to take away. And if you would rather stay home, we bring your tacos al pastor near you: we also deliver.
