Solamente Al Pastor — Restaurant in Auburn

Authentic 100%! The pastor (adobada) tacos are the best I have ever tasted on the American west coast! I’ve been from Puerto Vallarta to Vancouver and these are the most Mexican tasting tacos I have had on American soil. The meat is cooked to perfection, the tortillas were surprisingly good and the salsa bar was the cherry on top! I’m from Bakersfield,CA, where we have tons of great Mexican food and this place is on another level. I had to chat with the cooks and they told me that they prepare all their seasonings, which comes from a family recipe and they prepare the pastor (adobada) meat themselves as well, which if you know tacos, that’s where the art of making good pastor meat happens. They seemed to have many regular customers because while we were there, maybe 10-12 customer's spoke to the cooks like friends. I could see how this place would have tons of regulars. The prices are pretty reasonable because your flavor buds end up winning. The quality for the price is a great deal. If you are in this area, I hope that you can take my word as a “taco connoisseur” and go try them. In my honest opinion, the best tacos in...

Stopped by this spot with a friend and noticed that one hardworking employee was running the entire show—taking orders, cooking, and handling clean-up. The place had a modest crowd, so our food took about 15–20 minutes to arrive, which felt reasonable.

We shared the birria pizza, while I ordered Al pastor tacos and my friend had the chicken burrito. The burrito was fresh, satisfying, and filling. The tacos were okay—not outstanding, but definitely decent. The birria pizza came in a large portion and was well-prepared; it would’ve been even better if the consommé had more flavor, as it leaned a bit bland.

Overall, it’s a solid spot and worth revisiting to try more items...

First time in, got 2 of every taco, all good, the birria tacos fantastic. Ordered a Mexican coke but then found out their soda fridge was not keeping beverages cold so I asked for some ice, they didn't have any, no worries, put the coke in the car to take home and grabbed a cold water from the car. While I'm eating my tacos one of the cooks ran to the store to buy a bag of ice to accommodate me. I've never seen a commitment to service like that, it was so fast the only way he got that done is if he left immediately to get ice for me once I asked. Bravo. Otherwise, this isn't a done in spot, order take out, get the birria, get some home made sweet...
