Last week Traci, John, Thom, Lisa, and Greg ventured across the border to do some research in Mexico City.
They tasted mescal, a form of tequila from an agave plant at Bolica Mezcaleria…
…and saw some great art in the bathroom.
Found Public House’s Mexican sister location…and sampled tequila and enjoyed the lights.
But the main goal of the trip was to research al pastor pork dishes. It’s a Mexico City original dish of pork, which has been marinating for two days in a blend of different chili peppers, spices and herbs and then slowly cooked with a gas flame on a vertical rotisserie called a trompo – very similar to how shawarma is cooked.
They found it at the “Holy Grail” of Al Pastor, Taqueria Del Pastorina. The owner shared tips and tricks while the team sampled and observed.
