What Makes Al Pastor, Tacos Al Pastor

It starts with pork marinated in a blend of dried chiles and spices, then cooked until the edges char and crisp up. The technique traces back to Lebanese immigrants in central Mexico who adapted vertical spit-roasting to local ingredients — it's one of the more interesting origin stories on any taco menu.

At Brito's Burrito, it's one of our most popular protein choices — equally good in a burrito or bowl, but it's the tacos where that charred edge really shines. We make it fresh in-house, not shipped in pre-cooked. Pair it with onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime for the classic combination, or build it your way with any of our house-made salsas.
