And if they don't have Al Pastor, the next best thing is Adobada (same flavor but stewed instead of cooked on a spit).
This thread inspired me to have dinner at Taqueria De Anda last night. Had the Carnitas, Al Pastor and Pollo Tacos. Excellent!Macaroni Tony, I just happened to be driving by that little place I was thinking of by the DMV yesterday. It has been converted for about the fourth time in recent memory. It's now one of those "fake Alberto's" place also. "Alvaro's" or something like that with the imitation logo.
OK...yeah I know what you're talking about but that's the wrong place. It's called "MOS 2", it's on grand. It's been there for quite some time
Canned refried beans are fine.
Just re-heat in a lttle oil with garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to taste.

Layer, beans, potato, migas, and salsa in a flour tortilla for breakfast tacos.
Great tips, thank you!
I'll be in Austin the end on June. You can find me at Cisco's every morning having migas.

Did you guys noticed ''el trompo'' behind the cabrito...that is how we cook '' al pastor'' in north east of Mexico....if you see , it is similar to el cabrito, that in Mexico we call it cabrito al pastor.

That's the stuff! I've only been in a handful of places that had the "trompo". When I see one of those, there's no reason to order anything else!
There's a mini-chain (3 stores) here that does that. It's called Don Pepe's Tacqueria and they are nearly always very busy. Good stuff!
It's like Mexican schwarma.

I can't wait to visit California again and some of the small taco shops.
I'll bring a big appetite!

It kind of is. Apparently, it was introduced to Northern Mexico by Lebanese immigrants.
I hit Alberto's after my gig and picked up a chile verde burrito, which I've never had. Meh, it was more like pulled carnitas. If you want killer chile verde, you have to got to Invalid Link Removed in Arcadia.
Roberto's was the go to late night or healthier fast food in Las Vegas.10 tacos for about $5.00 or something crazy like that.
S. California Albertos taco shops are the best in my opinion. I used to go to the place in Poway CA, just down the road was the best Mexican restaurant I've even been to and it's a one off private owned place.
The hot sauce they give out? I used to take a bite and empty the whole thing in my mouth in two bites. Ever felt sweat poring through the poors in your head? It's possible.
