LA Loves These Tijuana-Style Tacos

Tacos 1986 is a phenomenon in Los Angeles. Jorge “Joy” Alvarez-Tostado opened the business as a taco stand in November 2018, and he's already opened a brick-and-mortar restaurant that has quickly become one of the best restaurants in LA. Here's how the famous trompo is made for the delicious pork adobada and why Joy is so passionate about this project.

Lease, huge staff, time invested into preparation amd product; few are using diesmillo for their carne asada.

In turkey they have a huge variety of flavors, and they sometimes use beef or chicken, turkey, veal, mouton and even pork for Christians turks. I’ve tried many al pastor in Mexico, they all tast the same, they are not bad at all but they are not even close to the delicousnes of a real doner kebab in Germany made by Turks. And nothing comparable if you visit Istanbul, you will see what flavor means. Sorry, but the Mexican version of the doner ( al pastor is a bad imitation of the original )

[@Visit_Tangier]

@@jamesmedina6015 Why won’t you go to turkey because of being catholic? I’m a non-practicing Catholic and the Catholic community of istanbul is quiet big and thriving. They are many Catholic Churches in Istanbul and all over turkey. It’s quiet extreme to not visit a country just because it’s not fully Catholic “if that’s what you meant by your comment” Regarding your opinion about Mexican food being number one, I won’t judge as taste are different from each person. Although, I’ve been lucky enough to travel the world and have been able to try food in many countries. I have had really good things in Mexico like colchinita Pibil, different types of moles, and I really like how the arrachera steak is marinated and grilled. The taste of that steak was memorable! Although, I thing that Mexican food along with Argentinian and Peruvian are the best of both south and North America. I’m Salvadorian and our food shares many similarities with Mexican cuisine. But as a food lover I don’t consider the American continent as a place for food travelers/lovers like me. As for many American cuisines, the variety of spices in Mexican cuisine is very restricted but I was very impressed by the number of different chilies that can be found in Mexican cuisine. From the big, small, thin, sweet, dry, fresh etc. For me, Mexican food is really number one for chillies !

the taco al pastor is 100% Mexican, in the tacos al pastor the only thing Lebanese is the rotisserie, what was adopted from the Lebanese foreigners was the way to put the meat vertically in the form of a spinning top and rotate it on the fire. Because it should be remembered that: Muslims do not eat pork; In addition, ingredients such as nixtamalized corn for tortillas or achiote and chili peppers to marinate the meat, all of them are native ingredients of Mexico, the Arabs do not eat pork and less marinate their meat with very hot chili peppers and the tortilla is a totally indigenous food from pre-Columbian times. The tacos al pastor were not brought from the east, what we do adopt from the east is the way to put the meat on a top. But the preparation and everything else no, People say that because in the al pastor tacos the Arab rotisserie is used, apart from because the Mexican tacos resemble shawarma, they are two similar dishes that work in the same way but both have no historical or cultural connection at all

This is the sharwarma's Mexican cousin.

[@ricardosv9702]

Look for 'tacos al pastor' or 'tacos de trompo' they are the most popular tacos in Mexico. They come from Puebla, Mexico and were influenced by a Lebanese dish called 'shawarma'. They're also known as 'döner kebab' in Turkey and 'gyros' in Greece.
