Al pastor: Marinated pork cooked on a vertical spit called a trompo, then sliced for tacos. The style developed in central Mexico from spit-roasting techniques brought by Lebanese immigrants and is related to shawarma. Many versions use dried chiles and achiote, and pineapple is a common accompaniment. In Tijuana and parts of northwestern Mexico, a closely related style is commonly called adobada. Preparation varies, and not every restaurant advertising pastor uses a trompo. On this menu as: Al Pastor Trompo.
