Spit Roasted Al Pastor Meets Hand Pressed Corn Tortillas

Start with the al pastor at this East Harlem taqueria, tender, spit roasted, and tucked into freshly hand pressed corn tortillas. Volcanes share the spotlight, while carne asada tostadas and chicken or nopal fillings round out the menu. Order a couple of each and work your way across the tortillas.

Quesabirria brings a richer option to the table, and every plate arrives with spicy toppings and house sauces that carry a real kick. Build your order around those sauces and trade bites across the table.

Horchata and jamaica are the traditional pours, alongside glass bottle drinks, a cool counterpoint to the heat. Enticing aromas fill the shop, and a crew chops fresh ingredients in the back while you wait at 1966 3rd Avenue. The kitchen stays open daily from 11 AM to 9 PM, which covers lunch and an early dinner any day of the week.
