Grill TACOS AL PASTOR Perfectly with a Mini Trompo (Mexican Street Taco & Full Adobo Recipe)

[@larrymoore6496]

Yep, the food network doesn’t know what a talented Mexican chef you are Arnie ! You should have your own show and hope Bobby Flay comes and challenges you to a Mexican throw down ! That would be a blast !!

[@DanDroff4]

Texans aren't Mexican.

[@poeticsilence047]

​@RrssTV but Arnie's heritage and culture are.

[@DanDroff4]

@@poeticsilence047 ok so would you be able to say that he's simply a chef that interprets Mexican cuisine

[@poeticsilence047]

I guess, if you want to be literal about it. If he was born here in Texas, I guess you can say he is Texan but we both no most people won't see it that way. Forgetting the fact that Texas did belong to Mexico but ehhh either way food is delicious. Lol

[@jeremiahmcguire1463]

@@DanDroff4bro… tejano cultura is Mexican culture. Texas was Mexican up till the republic of Texas defeated Santa Anna at the battle of san Jacinto. To say Texas isn’t Mexican is really splitting hairs that don’t need to be split. Texas is as Mexican as it is part of the United States. Culturally, historically and geographically.

[@justamags]

Arnie! I made these tacos tonight with the salsa Verde, your mom's Mexican rice recipe, and your refried beans.... to say this was the best plate of food I've made for me and my family is an UNDERSTATEMENT. The flavors were amazing! We all did a little dance and I'm pretty confident by the end of the night we will all be sporting Arnie Tex mustaches 😂😂😂 Thank you for the great tips and wonderful recipes! This will be a staple in our house for sure! ❤

[@JoseHernandez-gx7ev]

With that mustache he looks like Mario bro from the Nintendo game

[@koobek3271]

Arnie, Although now living in the Pacific Northwest, (I am a Native South Texan from Corpus Christi), I really appreciate watching all of Your videos and have learned so much from You. From the “Flippity-Flip” on Hamburgers, to Carne Guisada, Brisket, Carne Asada, Tamales with Your Mom, Salsas and so much more, I look forward to each new tutorial video from You. I am such a better cook because of You. Take care, Salud!

[@andrewmurdoch785]

Hey Arnie, I’m an Irish guy with a Mexican wife and just made your recipe for dinner - she said it’s as good as any she’s had from a taqueria in Chihuahua- I would agree 😋- thanks so much!

[@anttiruo]

Similar situation. I'm saving this one. But I'll be doing it with a vertical döner grill before the next grilling season.

[@copelanhartwell1341]

Thank you for this Arnie! My Dad and I watch every video you post, and we finally got a chance to make this with your salsa verde. It came out incredibly, best tacos we’ve ever had (and I used to live in Austin!). You’re the man, keep the smoke light and rock on 🤙🏼

[@justinthomas7316]

I love this guy, he would be that family member that you always hope is hosting the get together. Not just cause of his skills cooking but for how kind he seems

[@bills1870]

First off let me say that tacos al pastor are my favorite tacos hands down. I have never been able to make a good marinade for them, until today. I made this marinade just now and all i can say is you are my mexican food mentor for ever. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Camero27]

Bro, this is the best KZbin channel I've come across in a while! Came for the salsa, subbed for the personality. Its like hanging out cooking with my tio.

[@rachelmatta2264]

I’m from Pecos, Texas. I’ve heard your Mom mention your time there. I really enjoy your videos. I live in Apache Springs, Nm. 18 miles south of Las Vegas, NM. I get so homesick when I watch your videos. I do go home at least once a month since all my family is still in Pecos. You are awesome!!!!!!

[@DoctaJayTX]

Gotta love Tarrilas

[@GloryTacos77]

Arnie - I've learned so much from you. You're an amazing teacher and I appreciate you sharing what you know with the rest of us.

[@jeremylowe2309]

What did you learn? Please share.

[@cheefpoker]

Arnie. I'm a white boy raised in San Antonio. I live out in Kingwood now. You and your mother's recipes take me straight back to SA where I learned about and learned to love Mexican cooking. Texan BBQ is what it is, but those who are missing out on real traditional Mexican cooking are in desperate need of your recipes! You are doing God's work. I have been recreating your recipes for my family and they LOVE each and every one of them!!! I will be giving this one a shot this weekend. I hope I can pull it off! God bless and stay safe my man!

[@donaldiarussimfa5488]

Many Spanish people are also white. Just saying! There is a whole spectrum of white people

[@antoniomazzotta8519]

Hi Arnie I’m from Australia just tried your pastor exactly the same way and what a combo it was amazing the pineapple combo with the pot blew us away thanks for that WOW

[@SoapyCilantro]

You’re a friggin gem, Arnie!

Shrimp stake tacos surf and turf tacos!🌮🌯

[@barrykoelker4223]

I made this recipe yesterday along with the green salsa for the topping on the tacos! Hands down the most amazing thing I have ever cooked! I smoked the pork on my pellet grill at 270 degrees and basted with the juices every 30 minutes! You have to make this recipe!

[@jenn606]

I moved away from South Texas to Boston to attend med. school, that was 15 yrs ago. Now every time I watch your videos I get homesick for Tex-Mex food. Arnie thank you for all your videos!

[@edwardmarshall5059]

Thanks ArnieTex! You are a terrific teacher and obviously a trained chef. This Al Pastor procedural took a ton of work. I appreciate it.

[@MrFrankenfab]

I Love "Taco Chronicles"! One of my most favorite shows to watch. Great job, Arnie!

[@MrGodsChaos]

Just came from Mexico. Their tacos are amazing. Went to Atotonilco “Los Cuñados”, ate 20 tacos since they’re small tortilla. All Al Pastor

[@AndresSantiago-kf6tl]

I'm currently in Atotonilco... 😊 I agree, Los Cuñados are amazing

[@PTX0432]

Mr Arnie I’m born and raised in Pecos Texas still living in Pecos Texas Stay Blessed

[@XrarecastX]

This GUY right here is so chill and amazing at making food love your content Mr.Arnie!!!

[@derekrhoades2861]

1) looks awesome, 2) seen your other videos but subscribed with this one because it’s clear you get enjoyment and your passion for good food comes through on this one

[@fallenangel5346]

Ho, I'm Puerto Rican, my boyfriend is gringo and we both absolutely love Mexican food. Ive learned to make a few things and im so happy I've found you because i like and appreciate the real and authentic Mexican food and I can see you make the absolute best. Ive never made the 😅 nor the green salsa so im definitely going to try that next and the trompito too. Thank you! 💕

[@meverett777]

Love the vise grips, a good cook always knows how to improvise!

[@Blackadder153]

South Texas does it again.

[@randysiler7458]

Al Pastor are my favorite. I appreciate all the work that goes into them. I’m impressed so next time I buy some tacos I’ll appreciate them even more. Arnie your videos are so cool and informative. 👍👍

[@Findtruthasap]

Tripas and lengua tacos my friend. So good and unique both are. Everyone should try these delicacies

[@Toasty_Mr.Marsh_]

Suadero and cabeza are my favorite but if I find a place that makes good cuerritos and carnitas I’ll get that too. If the tripas are properly clean and extra crispy can’t go wrong either

[@drewbear1969]

I thought maybe eating before I watch these videos would prevent me from getting hungry, but nope. I'm only a minute in and I'm ready for some these tacos, they look amazing! 🤤 I'm glad you pointed out using a coffee grinder for spices, there's a spare one around here somewhere and I'd have never thought to use it for that, so thanks for that idea too 👍

[@zingo7418]

The excitement you get preparing dishes is wonderful! Thank you for sharing your passion with the world!

Dude, this is incredible. My food playlist is packed FULL. So many videos and recipes that I fear I may never get through them all. However, I created a new food list, I call my "short list". These are "bucket list" recipes that I can't "forget about". THIS video is the first one on that list. Rock on man. Would LOVE to cook and drink beers with you man.

[@richmunoz]

@ArnieTex, we love Love LOVE your content. We moved to Arizona in 2007 (from the 361), so we've been serving our friends our Texas BBQ and TexMex favorites. Your videos want me to step up my BBQ game. Keep up the good work!

[@Mr.Cynical92]

After watching your videos over the past few weeks, I finally hit that subscribe button. You said carnitas are your favorite, my weakness is lengua. We used to cook it in salt water in a stock pot for about 3 hours. Then slice it, put it in a tortilla with beans, pico de gallo, cilantro and salsa Verde. Cheers from Kansas City.

[@UnknownUser-pf9rk]

I don't know this guy and never met him but just seeing him makes me smile 😊Oh how I wish there were more mexican restaurants here in Europe 😢

[@Want2SurfNow]

I just wanna live next door to this man so I can wiggle my way into these amazing cookouts but also just be able to sit there and listen to him talk about Mexico, food and his culture!

[@VirginiaBronson]

When this heat wave calms down a little bit, I'll have to make this. I commend you for making this video in this weather lol

[@fiftyf1]

Thank you for sharing your recipes and humor with us. I make my own salsas all the time now. I believe cooking should be creative, and personalized, and appreciate that you leave room to make dishes the way WE like. I'm going to try this recipe on a medium Trampo and a Big Joe ceramic cooker. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@tuckerthestrutter]

[@fathersonandskillet]

That's a great adobo! Achiote is an underrated seasoning that adds so much richness to the flavor of pork.

[@RichardCranium321]

drill 2-4 small holes in your cross bar to stick the skewer tips in. anti- rotation holes, just need a little longer skewers so the handle rests outside the grill frame & acts as a stopper

[@TWC6724]

Ok, no more watching these videos when I’m hungry. Seriously, they look amazing!!! Oh, and I cannot wait for the carnitas video!! They are my absolute favorite!

You are the man!!! Killer recipes. Just can't get enough of this channel..

[@rickmartin712]

You are awesome Arnie! One of the few KZbin chefs that like a lot of heat! The marinade looked great, I will try it that next time! I’m a gringo, but I will stick to the traditional corn tortillas, onions and lots of heat! I do like my trompo on the smoker, but not as much char as you got! Maybe next time. Keep the great videos coming sir!!

[@fix135]

My first video of yours I've seen. I think I'll trust you 100% because not only do you have the authentic Mexican accent but you also have some of that Texas twang in there as well. That tells me all I need to know about how authentic your recipes are going to be. I can't wait to try this one. PS. I live in St Louis and pork (butt) steaks are a real thing here.

[@gregvaughntx]

My mouth is watering, that looks so good! I once made adobo from scratch and used it on lamb for Easter. I didn't have achiote though. I need to find some next time and use your recipe. I'd love to see you doing something with lamb or cabrito.

[@gracie.renteria]

Yes, great idea. I would love to see that too. I love lamb and cabrito, my favs beside beef.

[@elizabethwalters8400]

I cannot wait to try this! I live in the west and I have been experimenting with food now for almost 26 years. I love cooking. I just starting getting into really good authentic Mexican food about 7 years ago with all the peppers and chilies. Making sauces and tacos. Yummy I have fallen in love with it. I'll be back next week to let ya know how it came out. 🎉😂

They like hot and spicy foods in Scotland?? Cheers 🍻

[@viriathas9910]

[@l337dupowerspin]

OOUUH, can't wait to try this one! Pro tip: the water used to steep the peppers makes an awesome drink when you mix in a bit of beef broth concentrate... Tentative pro tip: I think I'll try to layer in some pineapple with the meat on the skewer...

I really like his sauce recipe...will try tomorrow. I personally like the meat sliced about 1/4-3/8 thick for more layers and more delicious bites. That's what I've seen in many of my favorite pastor joints in both US and Mexico. That said, I'm just a gringo but I love a great al pastor.

None of this happened quickly but I remained hopeful and positive. Don't give u! Right now I am using my smoker in the backyard!

[@eltomas3634]

Excellent Trompo Taco Tutorial!! Looks fantastic, Arnie! For your trompito, I was thinking if you just take a small square or 6 sided small piece of plywood, you could drill 2 holes in it for your skewers and stick them through. This way you have a rest that will stay on each side. You could wrap it in tin foil and make it pretty. Nicely done, sir!

[@Tdubz51]

That looked fukn delicious!
