There are certain things for which "authentic" shouldn't really win you many points. Mexican food is one.

I can eat tortas and tacos al pastor all day. Too bad they're rare in the states

Good Al Pastor is virtually impossible to find.

Where do you live? I can find authentic Sonoran style al pastor in

Sonora-style Al Pastor is not a thing. Maybe you're thinking about something

You mean the al pastor that I've had in puerto Pensaco Mexico isn't real

Absolutely. Best tacos al pastor are in central Mexico.

I've made a recipe that's called "Al Pastor", and it's pretty good. Maybe it's more adobada, I don't know.

That looks delicious. I'll have to give it a try.

yeah, I think I could have left it in a little longer to get just a touch more char. But, it was excellent.

Maybe in Alaska? Hawaii? Certainly not rare at the several taco carts

I think tortas are underdeveloped as a food type in the US

You can hardly cross a street corner in most towns without stumbling over a taco cart
kccougar

Fair. You *can* find mediocre to terrible Al Pastor all over the place.

The fun thing is that Al Pastor isn't even native to Mexico. It's from

Well the cooking method is. The spices and seasoning of the meat is Mexican.

Tortas De Fuego. Fair warning, it was a while ago. Hopefully they are still good

What restaurants are real Mexican to you?

Agreed. Being authentic and being delicious are different things.

OTOH, what is "real Mexican food"?
CougarVeteran
7/1/18 2:46pm
I'd say it's authentic if it's a traditional recipe from any region in Mexico.
