Here are our recommendations for the best Los Angeles tacos al pastor, adobada, and árabes.
This list may seem needlessly specific in its varied classifications, but that only speaks to the largess of L.A.'s pastor-packed scene. Almost as well as any Sunday evening drive, when our city streets become illuminated with generator-driven strings of lights and a steady flame shining its beam on a towering vertical beehive of slow-cooked, adobo-marinated pork.
Is al pastor L.A.'s official taco? By the sheer amount of seasoned pork stratas on spits we see, this beloved taco style definitely makes a case for this claim.
