a NY strip ( the large side of a porter house or t bone) is too tough to eat in a corn or wheat tortilla My God son, don't you know you u are defying every thing (Slim Pickens, Dr. strange love and Blazing saddles.NY or strip can be expensive and tough. think i'd use chuck ,slow cooked .

Yes, al pastor is literally translated to "Shepherd style". However, normally when you see tacos al pastor on a mexican menu they're made with pork, so al pastor is generally understood to be pork in the vast majority of cases.

Stop trying to correct people on being "mexican experts" when you don't even know what you're talking about to begin with.

I disagree. Yes, it literally means "shepherd style" but the word specifically refers to the method of cooking, not the identity of the meat used. I think a better translation would be "roasted on a spit". Sure pork is a common meat for this but it's not the only one.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 6 14:12:32 2015 No.6391991 >>6391930 Its the style of cooking in the end. Just like "pibil" which translate to underground cooking. I can understand if people say they like al pastor type tacos , but to say its a meat is like saying grilled is my favorite meat

I'm not any of the various people you're arguing with, but in the parts of Mexico I grew up (Tijuana and Ensenada), pork meat cooked on a spit is called "adobada." I had actually never heard the term "al pastor" until I moved to Southern California.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 6 22:12:08 2015 No.6393278 >>6393264 Also, if the dude making those adobada/al pastor tacos doesn't dip the tortilla in the pork drippings before warming it up, then he's doing it objectively wrong.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 6 22:52:38 2015 No.6393410 >>6393264 Adobada is the right term if you take the spit roast out of the occasion but it sort of makes sense since the meat is basically an adobo but cooked in a different manner.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 6 23:05:04 2015 No.6393445 what do people think of people putting the pork meat in a griddle for a seconds before serving after its been cooked in the shawarma?

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 6 23:19:30 2015 No.6393478 >>6393445 Why? The spit keeps it warm.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 6 23:20:40 2015 No.6393483 >>6393410 Thanks for the tip. I'll be sure to tell all of Baja California (and parts of Baja California Sur) that they've been calling it the wrong thing.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 6 23:29:41 2015 No.6393503 >>6393483 Dunno but Mexican regions seem to have different name for similar foods. The last time I went to sonora I ate a vampiro, which was basically a tostada. Don't put too much thought into it kiddo

Ask for a taco de al pastor and expect chivo if you like, just don't be disappointed when you get pork because that is what you would actually be asking for.

Calling spit cooking al pastor is rather silly, just put a fish, rabbit, iguana, armadillo or chicken on a spit seasoned with salt and calling it al pastor type taco is entirely wrong over sand over again like it or not.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 7 04:25:21 2015 No.6394169 >>6394118 It is still ignorant to call al pastor a "pork meat" because its a method of cooking not a meat. Whether it is mostly made with pork or not http://visita.jalisco.gob.mx/content/borrego-al-pastor-tapalpa

The replies to eating a cut of meat besides chuck in taco is wrong just confirms that Americans have it bad when it comes to Mexican food. I wouldn't say bad, just limited. While you won't see a NY steak taco as often as a Sirloin in the area, it isn't rare or uncommon.
