Español: Pastor tradicional, lo más cercano al sabor del pastor mexicano a un precios accesibles.
English: I have been looking for a good place to eat tacos al pastor with my friends. Most of the places in Chicago do not cook the pork for the pastor the traditional way (en trompo). Hence, the pastor tacos are usually very greasy and moist. However, in Taqueria Los Barrilitos they cook the pork on a trompo which makes the meat crispy, soft, and delicious. My friends from Mexico City told me the tacos here are the closest to the traditional tacos al pastor in the city. They also pair the tacos with an amazing salsa verde and salsa roja.
My only complain would be that they ran out of pineapple last time I was there.
Also, it is cash only.
