Our Al Pastor Tacos bring the authentic flavours of Mexico City's taco stands to Calgary. Featuring traditional marinated pork with a rich, slightly smoky adobo flavour, served on 100% gluten-free soft corn tortillas and paired perfectly with our spicy house salsa verde.
Al Pastor — meaning 'shepherd style' — is one of Mexico's most iconic taco preparations, with roots tracing back to Lebanese immigrants who brought the vertical spit-roasting technique to Mexico. At Tacos Mexico Memorial, our Al Pastor features pork marinated in a traditional blend of dried chilies, achiote, pineapple, and aromatic spices, slow-cooked until tender and deeply flavourful.
Each taco is served on a warm, 100% gluten-free soft corn tortilla, topped with fresh white onion, cilantro, and our house-made salsa verde that adds a bright, spicy kick. The slightly smoky, sweet-and-savoury flavour profile of our Al Pastor has made it one of the most beloved dishes on our menu and a must-try for anyone seeking authentic Mexican street food in Calgary.

"I ordered the Al Pastor pork street tacos and they were excellent with nice fresh toppings! The marinade gives the pork such a rich, smoky flavour. Definitely coming back for more of these."

"We shared 12 street tacos including pork — the Al Pastor was outstanding. The meat is perfectly seasoned and the corn tortillas are fresh. Service was prompt, friendly and very attentive."
