This was stop number 2 on our taco trek UYE. I have had Taqueria El Pastorcito bookmarked ever since I heard the al pastor tacos here were the best in town, so I was eager to see if it lived up to my favorite al pastor tacos over at Tacos El Gordo. \n\nI noticed as we pulled up to Taqueria El Pastorcito (and luckily found a parking spot) a large group in front of the taco stand before yelp could even show up and take over. There is parking, but it is limited so be prepared to possibly park along the side street of Taqueria El Pastorcito. Since there was such a group already and yelpers were now arriving, I was confused to where we were supposed to order at, but a man guided us over to his line and took our order. I asked about the \"Suadero\" (beef brisket) and he said to wait a minute..... so I waited.... and he came back with a plate of suadero for me to sample just to make sure I liked it. I was surprised at the amount he gave me to try! All I needed was a tortilla to wrap around it and I would have had a taco! I took the plate of suadero over to a group of yelpers to try so I could save my appetite for a couple tacos. \n\nI ordered a \"Al Pastor Taco\" and a \"Suadero Taco\" both with pineapple. These tacos were $2 each. The al pastor taco came with pineapple yet the suadero didn't. WTH? The pineapple and corn tortillas weren't a favorite of mine at all. The corn tortillas were greasy and tough. I wish I had stopped at the condiment bar next the al pastor spit/rotisserie just to help the tortilla go down better. The pineapple was kind of mushy and cut into smaller chunks then I'm used to. The suadero was obviously delicious or I wouldn't have ordered it after sampling it. I recommend everyone try the suadero at least once! The al pastor was also delicious. Very flavorful and lives up to the hype. This is also a must try! Now do I like the pastor here better then Tacos El Gordo? HECK NO! Tacos El Gordo FTW! \n\nTaqueria El Pastorcito has a covered/caged (sounds spooky but don't even trip) seating area. I think this is a plus since most taco trucks/stands do not. Taqueria El Pastorcito offers too many menu items to mention, but they have the usual tacos, burritos, quesadillas and tortas. I saw another person who got a torta and holy cow they are h-u-g-e! I want to come back and try a al pastor torta ( I hear it has fresh avocado and tomatoes on it too!) and the \"Al Pastor con Queso Taco\" to give melted cheese a try on my al pastor taco. Don't be scared of the neighborhood, just have an open mind and enjoy!
