the goat sweats and then to wrap up this ultimate extreme unbelievable mexican street food tour of la today with mexi papa we're going to one more place [Music] [Music] we're in south central l.a this is the final destination of the day what's next we're sitting right here on main in 55th this place has been here for 35 years it's called el taco grande they got one of the best tacos yes so the family here invited us and they got something prepared at the back just for us oh you like tacos el pastor i love tacos mexico city yes sir oh yeah so they have this front section courtyard with the food truck but we're gonna head to the back yes where they're gonna do something special [Music] that's the very beginning of the trumpo an onion goes on foreign oh man just the aroma of that marinated pork smells so good so many onions in there as well he's really i mean it's such a technique such a skill to fit the meat on a trumpo and put it in the the upright position on the i mean the shawarma and he like chooses the meat carefully wraps it up even folds it over squishes it down adds in a layer of onions and all that like marinade and then fits them and wraps it so tightly because it has to stick it has to hold together it has to like be compact as it roasts good [Music] what would be some of the main spices in the marinade marinade of course the onion yeah the onion the onion move is incredible i love how it's just layered within the marinade and then he layers it into the trumpo between layers of meat tons of onions you smell the juices of the onions just absorbed into the pork you know what i had this al pastor a lot and i don't remember tasting onions but it kind of soaks it all up in the meat it's just absorbed yeah absorb and uh it gives a really good flavor of course the marination yeah and what else is included in the marination including a variety of different chilies it's chilies but it also has a lot of citrus a lot of citrus yes okay i believe it's uh orange juice and pineapple uh [Music] the finished trump look at just how tight it is perfect layers and so even it's the greatest smelling raw meat you'll ever smell and there it is like a cascading waterfall of meat juice and onions and marinade they're lighting up the fire that's gonna roar that's gonna cook that's gonna sizzle oh so you have to kind of shape it shape it now he's got to kind of carve it so that it has a the best possible shape trim off those edges pro move right there he takes the shavings and then re-stuffs them into the top of the thrombo there's something about upward skewers of meat that just never gets old and you can never have enough of squeezes you can squeeze it out [Music] the hot plate is ready they're going to sear off those tortillas and then they do a special technique here where they actually will we'll just watch them as they do it dip the tortillas into the beet juice so beautiful oh okay that's cool [Music] he slices up the meat into the tortilla then onto the hot plate just sears that off to like give it another edge of smokiness oh man yeah this is a technique that they they do right unbelievable yeah i was almost almost not hungry when we arrived but now my my mouth is watering i'm like this funny you say that i'm so excited how many times i've been here when i'm not hungry and you eat like 10 tacos exactly [Music] oh man i recommend onion uh cilantro some lemon and the red salsa the red cups are good i love onion here i can do what i did over there [Music] oh yeah i'm going onions on all of them cilantro on all of them and that red salsa thank you mark's a beautiful family beautiful family grande wow [Laughter] the move where he steers it on the hot plate it seals in the juices yeah and like caramelizes the edges makes it crispier but that's so much flavor okay do you see all the onion they put yeah tasty onion in there i mean the caramel is saying like if anything you taste like the sweetness of the onions just from the juices and then being able to see the entire process stacking the meat layering in the onions roasting it forming it reshaping it all the way to eating it very special it took a long incredible time to make you eat these things in seconds but your happiness lasts for a long time this is a taco to perfection everything starts with a tortilla and then the marination the meat is beautiful and beautiful so beautiful this is my go-to spa for el pastor best apostolate in l.a i think so mm-hmm i mean the alpaca has a perfect balance of citrusiness like natural sweetness maybe from the citrus and from the onion and then just that chili oh even the heat and that salsa [Music] [Music] crispy and juicy at the same time [Music] exactly one hour ago so we came here we went down
