Al pastor Totally Explained

Al pastor, literally meaning "Shepherd Style", is a dish developed in Mexico City likely as a result of the adoption of spit-grilled meat brought by Lebanese immigrants. The dish is similar to the Turkish döner kebab, Shawarma, or Greek gyros.

Preparation

Usually pork, it's marinated with a blend of different spices and herbs, and then slowly cooked on a vertical rotisserie called a Trompo, often with a pineapple on top. When ready, the meat is then thinly sliced off the spit with a large knife. It can be served with small tortillas, onions, pineapple, cilantro and lime. It is also a common ingredient in tacos, burritos, and tortas.

Popularity

Tacos al pastor, although less widely available than other styles in fusion Mexican cuisine, are one of the most popular tacos served in Taquerias both in Mexico and US latino neighborhoods.
In Northern Mexico, like Nuevo Leon, these are usually called Tacos de Trompo.
