"With not one but two trompos turning behind the counter, this Aurora newcomer makes not only al pastor but also tacos árabes, which come folded so they may almost resemble burritos; loaded with that spit-roasted pork (whose recipe derived from that of shawarma, hence the name), onions, cheese, and salsa, they’re deliciously filling. Still, try to leave room for the lamb quesabirria, accompanied by an intriguingly spiced consomé that contains rice, and a machete stuffed with huitlacoche and squash blossom." - Eater Staff, Ruth Tobias
