| - I had the taco al pastor, or Shepherd's tacos, which Los Chilitos makes with adobo marinated pork. As I understand it, the taco al pastor is kind of a Mexican pork version of a shawarma, which was introduced to Mexico in the mid 1900s by the Lebanese.
Adobo is a marinade originally used to preserve meat and fish. While it seems to vary region to region, it's basically various chilies, garlic, herbs and vinegar, making it an excellent marinade for pork tacos.
At about $5, this taco was reasonably priced. The meat was delicious but it could have used some of the usual taco al pastor toppings like cilantro, onion or even pineapple. Maybe I was supposed to ask specifically for those, but as pointed out by some other reviewers, the lady working the counter seems like she'd rather be elsewhere. With friendlier service and a few toppings, this place could get a 5 star rating. I will definitely try again.
