12686225, The history behind Al Pastor is very interesting

Ever find it interesting that they cut the al pastor off a rotating hunk of meat on a spit that looks exactly like they do at gyro spots?

that's because it's a style of cooking that the Lebanese in Mexico brought with them from their home country

the reason why it's called 'al pastor' is because Lebanese in Mexico had difficulty finding work in any line other than shepherding, hence the name 'al pastor'
