Tacos al Pastor are made with thin slices of pork marinated in a blend of achiote, chili peppers, garlic, and pineapple juice, then stacked on a vertical spit and grilled shawarma-style. They originate from Mexico City, a culinary adaptation of Lebanese immigrants’ spit-roasted lamb (shawarma) introduced in the early 20th century.

Carved directly from the rotating spit (trompo), the meat is served on corn tortillas with pineapple, onion, and cilantro, often enjoyed late at night from taco stands or taquerías.
