El Pastor - YUMMMM
Well, just got back from another great trip to Playa. We were anxious to find lots of places to try el Pastor since it's a favorite.
I was "out of commission" for a couple days so I was limited to trying Tacos Israel and Tacos Los 3 Carboneitos (which is on Calle 12 between 10 and 15).
While Tacos Israel did offer larger than usual tacos with more meat, I must say that it is not what I would actually call "al Pastor". It tasted more like a Greek gyro to me, not at all Mexican. But it was tasty.
The el Pastor at Los 3 was more of the typical meat but still not flavored as much as I've had in the past. They have a huge variety of ways they serve the meat, and they provided 6 different sauces to accompany them (one of which was made out of pumpkin seeds and was quite tasty). The best part was when I ordered a platter that consisted of the el Pastor meat, cactus, grilled onions and melted cheese, served with 5 warm, fresh tortillas. Oh YUMMMM! And it was very reasonable. One last thing - they also serve Corona and Negro Modelo.
I will definitely be trying to make them at home SOON... I'm craving them already and we just got home Tuesday...
