Back to Sabor a Mexico for their pastor. It’s the variant with pineapple notes in it, and you’d think I’d be into it since I’m pro Hawaiian pizza, but this one lacks the salty meats to balance out the sweetness and it’s just not as good as the pastor tacos from El Taurino on the streets of Tepatitlan c. 1998. Nostalgia’s an anchor sometimes, keeping us from sailing bravely into uncharted waters.

You know, sometimes the bear eats you, and sometimes you eat the best asada burrito from Sabor a Mexico. This is one of those combination restaurants (four restaurants/cuisine styles sharing the same kitchen) and I expected something eh at best, but son of an onion, I’m fucking floored. It’s been at least a decade since I ate asada this good.
