Al pastor tacos · Las Vegas
Tacos El Gordo's signature plate: marinated pork shaved off a vertical trompo, double corn tortilla, pineapple, white onion, fresh coriander.
Al pastor tacos arrived in Las Vegas as a Tijuana import. Tacos El Gordo opened on the Strip in 2010 (3041 Las Vegas Blvd S) and a downtown branch shortly after, both running vertical trompos with pork marinated in achiote, guajillo chile and pineapple. The Strip location is one of the few places in Vegas that runs the trompo until 4am Friday and Saturday. The Vegas version is closer to the Tijuana style than the Mexico City style: shorter pineapple top on the spit, smaller tortillas, less garnish.
