Serious Eats

The meat in the al pastor taco is cooked with a hunk of pineapple on top. As the meat turns in front of the open flame, fruit juice drips down over the meat, covering it in sweet, syrupy crust.

Best tacos in Chicago, hands down. Birria was best taco I've had since I was in the DF last April. Al pastor was close, didn't get enough crispys .

A great pit stop for Mexican or Rican night because they have everything that you'll need and it's cheap! Make sure to bring cash though because they like to try to get you to not pay with a card! - Kelsey Kamp
