Food critic Andy Richardson enjoys tasty tacos at home from El Pastor
This inspired the opening of El Pastor’s first site in 2016, which quickly became famed for its punchy margaritas and authentic tacos, using tortillas made in-house daily with organic, Mexican corn. The menu also features tostadas, quesadillas, frijoles and salsas.
It’s one-up from a burger and the Dishpatch/El Pastor offering includes a variety of kits, including beef short rib, slow-cooked lamb, pork shoulder with grilled pineapple or El Pastor signature guacamole.Oh yes, and if you’re in the mood for drinks, there’s also a notorious Mexican margarita to get to grips with, with a double shot of El Jimador Reposado and splash of Triple Sec.
The word “taco” originated from Mexican silver miners in the 18th century. Gunpowder was wrapped in a paper like a “taquito” and inserted into rocks before detonation. The Taco was first introduced to the United States in 1905. Mexican migrants were coming in to work on railroads and other jobs and started to bring their delicious food with them. Tacos were essentially a street food at this time since they were highly portable and cheap. In fact, Americans first became exposed to tacos through Mexican food carts in Los Angeles that were run by women called “chili queens”.
Served with a range of sides that bring aromatic fragrance, a hit of acidulation, thrilling heat and a sharp, citrussy twist, their dishes are, frankly, delicious.The beef was warmed through for 30 minutes until fall-apart tender and ready to shred, while the tacos were heated for just 30 seconds each in a hot pan.
At £41 for a box, it made for great value, too. While being advertised as feeding two – there was plenty to go round for three with a huge stack of tortillas left over, which were happily filled with other stuff from the fridge.Little wonder El Pastor has been at the forefront of the eat-at-home phenomenon, with such delicious ingredients being easily assembled.
