/Sounds like "TAH" (as in "tar") + "kohs" (as in "coat") + "AHL" (as in "art") + "pahs" (as in "park") + "TOHR" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

Tacos made with pork marinated in achiote and spices, cooked on a vertical rotating spit, and served with a slice of pineapple on top. Arguably Mexico's most iconic taco, with a technique borrowed from Lebanese shawarma and fully reinvented into something uniquely Mexican.

Examples

Give me some tacos al pastor with everything, pineapple too.

The tacos al pastor from that stand are famous in the whole neighborhood.
