Taco's Tamix



At taco's tamix, I found the best taco's al pastor I have ever had. The meat was moist and tender and so complexly seasoned that it actually was the only thing I could talk about for an hour afterwards(this during a crazy taco crawl across east LA). The flavor was full of porky sweetness and rich with both chili(ancho?) and warming spices. The tortilla(also perfectly toasted and just firm enough and soft as a baby's you know) was warmed on the grill underneath the spit. He also did a crazy acrobatic move where he held the tacos full of meat at his side and flipped the pineapple slices onto the taco's which were at waist level and 3 feet away.
So sadly the outdoor trompa(spit) is only open Friday-Sunday from 8ish till 3am.
