Al Pastor Taco Stand

These guys are super nice and have great tacos.
I love the pastor tacos over the carne asada ones. I haven’t tried the other ones but I’m faithful to this taco stand.

I obviously do not have the same knowledge of al pastor tacos as Tony C. has but suffice it to say that I cannot rest allowing this little taco stand be passed up by a single negative review. Sure, I do not claim to have any expertise in the realm of Mexican cuisine; however, I do know what tastes good to me… and this is my go to at 1am when I’m craving $ 1 street tacos!
I always order the lengua and the cabeza tacos, which are served plain so you can actually taste the meat. It is super juicy meat though it could be because it is let to simmer in its own juices for who knows how long. I recommend trying it with a little salsa, onions, cilantro and lemon because it may be a little too plain… but I recently discovered that I enjoyed it plain rather than over-​seasoned as I found most of the tacos I had at the taco stand on 2^nd and Beaudry (Riki’s taco stand I believe?).
All in all… I say, Unilocal is a great tool to learn of new places… but it’s just people’s opinions. I definitely recommend you trying this place for yourself before just taking one person’s review at face value.

Huge caveat emptor: PLEASE DO NOT CALL ABOVE NUMBER TO SEE WHEN THE STAND OPENS, m’kay? It belongs to Mexicar.
The stand is located right in front of Mexicar, on the east side of the Vermont, few blocks north of Washington. Y’all seen it on the way to Ktown.
What’s interesting? The portable al pastor spit. Is it good? Not really. Why? Cuz these damn al pastor mongers in LA always puts the shaved meat (uhhhh-​huh-​huh. i said shaved meat) back on the griddle. HATE THAT. There was no pineapple. Pineapple is 33% of a good al pastor taco. Is it anywhere close to the tacos al pastor we had in MX last week? Hells no.
Fail. Just because Mexicans eat there doesn’t mean it’s good. It may just mean it’s cheap.
1 extra star for having half decent salsa.
