Tacos al Pastor

If you find yourself in Piedras Negras and are looking for the undisputed king of tacos, make a beeline for Taqueria El Pastor on Calle Zaragoza. This isn't just a place to eat; it's an authentic, bustling street food experience that perfectly captures the flavor and spirit of Mexico. The moment you arrive, you’ll be greeted by the delicious aroma of chili and savory meat—a direct invitation from the massive trompo (vertical spit) turning slowly, topped with the signature slice of pineapple. This is where the magic of the Tacos al Pastor happens, and it’s the dish you absolutely must order first.

We came to Piedras Negras expecting to find plemtg of taco stands. To our surprise, taco stands are not very common in this border town. Every local that I asked referred us to this spot. The food was great and the prices were even better. The service was speedy and friendly. I would recommend the al pastor tacos.

I post reviews for English speaking travelers although I speak Spanish. Great service and delicious food. Good value. You could get by with minimal Spanish.

The restaurant shouldn't be there because the service along with the food were bad. First of all, the taco meat was coated in lots of fat/grease. Second of all, they served my cousin 2 tacos full of fat and cartilage instead of meat out of 4 total tacos.Also my uncle asked for some nachos and the didn't gave him the nachos and when we went to pay they charged my uncle extra money for the nachos but even though they didn't gave him the nachos.

Terrible quality had better food in Texas. Felt like it was mostly onion instead of meat on my plate. Did you even try.
