We came across this blog post by Andrew Dwyer explaining how he first had Tacos al Pastor at Gueros and it inspired him to try to make a pizza version! Quite the read, and he is kind enough to include the recipe! (Click here for the recipe) It looks delicious! Thanks for spreading the #tacolove Andrew! You can read his blog here!
Just came across this article about our Oak Garden! What do you think, do you have some good memories from our Oak Garden?
Austinites demand more from their city and they get it from Guero’s Oak Garden. Picture the scene: It’s Friday night and you want to relax and unwind from a hard week’s work. In most cities, you have the choice to stay at home with drinks and a bad movie or go to a local bar where you spend what seems like forever waiting to order. You then spend half the night looking for a place to sit/stand and the other half avoiding drunk people bumping into you. The purpose of socializing is to relax, most bars do the opposite.
What a better way to kick off May than with a contest? We are giving away a dinner for 20 in the Oak Garden! That’s right, you and 19 of your closest pals (or random strangers if that’s your fancy!) will get to enjoy some tacolove in the Oak Garden on us!*
How can I enter?” You might ask. Well let me tell you! Just come in and eat lunch on Monday, May 16 or Tuesday May 17 and put your information into the fishbowl we will keep up front. We will then pick the winner and notify them that Friday!

Everyone loves our Tacos al Pastor, but did you know the history behind it? Check out this cool history article highlighting yours truly!
It is believed that Lebanese immigrants are responsible for the creation of Tacos al Pastor. They brought over their shawarma method of spit-roasting lamb from their native land in the 1930s which was in turn used as an inspiration for experts in Mexican cuisine who changed the lamb used by the Lebanese to pork for their purposes. Puebla in Mexico could be seen as the birthplace of Tacos al Pastor as this is where the Lebanese brought their cooking method first.
