OK I am totally late to the game, but nobody has yet mentioned the carnitas! It’s hard to beat pork boiled in pork fat with some extra pork skin thrown in for good measure!

Yum. My new favorite lunch!

i went there for lunch after reading the post hopeing for a good taco. the service sucked the food sucked and i paid 16.50 for three beef tacos and a 7 dollar place you do the math. The casier didnt give me a reciept because so didnt ring up my order,she only open the register to gve me my 50 cent change. when i asked for sause for the tacos she told me it was not free and charged me for taco sause it like charging people for ketchup if theybuy french fies the people who work there as well at the owner should be reported investigated and deported for thier bad food bad service and dishonest handling of money. LAS PALOMAS IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT IM SAYING IS YOU SUCK

Maybe that last post was a little strong, but people’s definitiveness on the subject gets me redder than a properly marinated al pastor spit. Anyway, does anyone in the pineapple, or non-pineapple camp, know of a place that has a rodizo for their pastor, or more importantly a place that serves the traditional salsa de aguacate condiment? Please don’t suggest guacamole, as I mean the super-soupy/spicy runny liquid you poor on, sometimes spoonable(like me), once appropriately served to me in a small tied plastic drug bag by a 9 year old working a truck at 8th and Normandie.

I worked right near there for almost 9 years and never went in that place – the patina of grease on the windows was always a serious turnoff. The food looks surprisingly OK considering. But not enough to get me back in that dump of a neighborhood. :)

Zach, you have probably had good al pastor before, which doesn’t have pineapple actually in it, but atop the spit (to find a place with a spit!). I’m not saying it’s never in there and let the “well, on my spring break…” or “my child was raised by a Mexican…” or “I had swine flu so I know what’s authentic…” comments flow. I have had both, north and south of the border, in many US and Mexican states and typically, not always, the ratio of pineapple increases with proximity to gringos and prices on the menu (and here’s a news flash, that taco you got in downtown PV or Revolucion in TJ might not be totally authentic). However, to state all this really doesn’t do anything to forward the debate, and there is a debate. Instead let me just have to ask you, would you rather taste sweet porkiness or the inside of a dole pineapple can? Would you trust somebody’s pizza opinions if they ordered it hawaiian? One bad apple might not ruin the whole bunch, but I think one pineapple can ruin a good al pastor taco. Sin pina, por favor.

awwww…. Rudy misses me. *blush* Been traveling a bit, watching the Red Sox kick the Spankees’ collective butts (nice team there, Goats–a real bunch of overpaid winners–I mean whiners!), and starting early on the tasty tequila today.

Rudy, do they even have tequila across the pond?

fyi on the 3.75 burrito thing: it doesn’t exist. when i asked the waitress, she told me it was actually $4 and is a small burrito. the one pictured looks like the large burrito and is indeed $8 like the menu says.
