| - Food + Flame is a universal expression; one that transcends language barriers. If something good is being cooked, everyone will notice, and everyone will flock toward it.
As quaint as this taco-trailer is, you'll never see it without a crowd nearby. As you approach, the reason why becomes more and more clear. Not only will the smell entice you, but the large al pastor spit will too. Adorned with a crown of pineapple, the meat carved from this spit certainly has a right to be in contention for King of Al Pastor. Heavy lies the crown -- and I'm always obliged to help out and take some weight off of their hands. The meat is cut fairly thin -- I prefer this method by far as opposed to other places that cut it like steak sandwiches.
Of course, there are other options, including carne asada, chicken and cabeza; among others. Regardless of how it's ordered - whether it be a quesadilla, torta, taco or burrito -- the portions are always fair. There's a separate cart with condiments (onions, peppers, and three different salsas with various levels of heat) that also have take-home containers, ala Roberto's et al. Alongside the condiment cart, there's a cooler for canned soda and homemade drinks.
With so many options, you'd think I'd have tried several different combinations. Yet after trying the al pastor burrito for the first time, I haven't turned back. Served up with or without pineapples, cheese and sour cream, it's always best to go with the works. The balance of pineapple and meat is always on point, and the ying-and-yang flavor relationship they offer is something I find myself craving weekly. Oddly, they're closed one day a week -- and it's (Taco) Tuesdays. Feels like a missed opportunity, but by the looks of things, they aren't exactly hurting for business. Considering they're flanked by both Taco Bell AND Del Taco, the location may have been a bold choice, but the food speaks for itself. In fact, there's a competing cart outside of a nearby meat market. Unsurprisingly, it's never busy -- the King is close and offers much better options.
Despite the crowds, the process of ordering is easy and the speed is always impressive. I've never waited more than five minutes for an order of two burritos, which is indeed a good thing -- even though I live within walking distance, it's never fast enough to get home to unwrap. This is always a consistently great dining experience, and it's because Taqueria La Casa Del Pastor knows what they're doing. Food + Flame /wrapped in Foil = Fantastic here; everytime!
