Stewart, I get the feeling that this was a conspiracy!! You probably wanted to keep El Duro a secret, didn't you?



Ah well, next time. At least we found us another taco place next door that you missed!!!

I finally made it to "Carnitas El Duro"! Those are the best carnitas I've tried in Playa. Excellent. Thanks for the tip, Stewart.

I agree with James: I think costilla (ribs) were the best.

You're welcome! I'm looking forward to our taco crawl on Saturday - hope you will be able to join us!

Remember, the quality of tacos al pastor depends, to a certain extent, on how busy the place is. If they are pretty busy and selling a lot of them, the meat on the outside (the stuff they will cut off for YOUR taco) should still be fresh and moist. If business is slow, the outer part of the meat has a chance to dry out a bit. That's why, normally, I'll only order tacos al pastor when a place is pretty busy.

Good tip Stew I'll have to remember that.
