Tacos al pastor are spit-roasted marinated pork tacos with pineapple, onion and cilantro on small corn tortillas, the Lebanese-Mexican fusion that grew from shawarma into a Tapatio late-night staple.
Tacos al pastor descend from the shawarma tradition brought by Lebanese and Syrian immigrants to Mexico in the early 20th century. The Mexican adaptation replaced the lamb with achiote-marinated pork, kept the vertical trompo spit and added pineapple to the top of the cone. Mexico City claims invention in the 1960s, but Tapatio late-night taquerias developed their own style: smaller trompos, more chile-de-arbol salsa and a slice of pineapple per taco. Tacos Providencia and Los Pinches Tacos are the canonical Guadalajara late-night addresses.
