At most taco stands, the meat is slowly cooked in animal fat along with all of the other cuts of meat.īy the time it’s ready to eat it is as soft as room temperature butter. The suadero meat comes from the part of the cow between the leg and the belly. It’s actually the name of the cut of beef that is used to make this type of taco. This is one of my all-time favorite types of tacos. The most common way to have it is with cilantro, onion, and pineapple on top. The best ones are cooked “al carbon” or by coal. It’s made by placing thin slices of marinated pork onto a skewer. You know you’ve found a place with pastor when you see a huge orange “trompo” or schwarma-like meat being cooked outside the restaurant or taco stand. If you haven’t watched the pastor taco episode of Taco Chronicles on Netflix, then I highly recommend checking it out. While in the US you may find it made with chicken or beef, unless it is specified otherwise, know that pastor tacos are made with pork meat. Pastor is always made with pork here in Mexico. This Lebanese-fusion food started here in Mexico City, but you can find it all over the country now. I may be totally biased because I live in Mexico City, but there is nothing better than a good pastor taco.

These are all of the best types of tacos that you’ll see in most parts of Mexico. There is truly nothing more magical than a freshly made tortilla, piping hot off the comal and filled with a meat of your choice. No matter what they’re made of though, try to find places that are making them fresh to order. Of course, you can still find flour tortillas in Central Mexico and I’ve had some seriously delicious tacos in Tijuana made with corn tortillas. The rule of thumb is basically that the Northern states of Mexico tend to use flour tortillas and from the Central region south, you’ll be filling corn tortillas for your tacos. Both are found in different parts of the country, both are filled with amazing things, and both are called tacos. One is not “more Mexican” than the other. If you visit Ensenada, you’ll likely find all of your tacos wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. Mexico’s big debate (not really, but sort of). The types of tacos that you can find in Mexico vary greatly depending on what region of the country you’re in. Tacos in Mexico are nothing like the crunchy lettuce and ground-beef filled concoctions that my mother used to make us on “taco night” when I was growing up. Before moving to this taco-loving country, I thought I knew a thing or two about tacos. There are so many types of tacos in Mexico.
