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.

Came across this interesting read about the history of the tamale! Also, did you know that tamales are a new years day tradition?
They are made for special occasions like the Day of the Dead, Christmas, New Year’s or just about any other family or holiday celebration.
It’s usually a family affair. Many family members gather together to make the fillings and masa the day before. The following day, an assembly line of family of all ages form to spread the masa on corn husks, fill and fold the tamales. Once all the tamales are assembled, they are steamed and finally eaten. Usually hundreds of tamales are made at once so everyone can take some home and share with friends and family. This party is most comonly known as a Tamalada.
