Hey! 🍍 I'm diving into making al pastor at home and curious: which grill do you recommend for that perfect char? Gas, charcoal, or something else? Looking to capture that authentic flavor. Any insights or tips on the best setup?
 
I think a charcoal grill works best for al pastor, as it gives a great smoky flavor. 🔥🌮 Though a gas grill can also do a good job if you’re looking for convenience. 🚀

I agree! A charcoal grill really brings out that authentic smoky flavor, but a gas grill is super convenient too. 🔥🍍
 
A vertical rotisserie grill, also known as a trompo, works best for cooking al pastor, as it allows the meat to be cooked evenly on a rotating skewer. 🌮🔥
 
For the authentic al pastor experience, a vertical rotisserie grill is ideal. This allows the meat to cook slowly and evenly, developing the signature crispy exterior and juicy interior.
 
A vertical spit (like a trompo) is the real deal for al pastor, but if you're using a regular grill, charcoal adds that smoky kick!

Yo, gas grills are super convenient, but charcoal gives you that smoky, authentic flavor, so I'd go with that for the best char! 🔥 Thanks for sharing the awesome recipe!

For authentic al pastor, charcoal is the best option as it provides a smoky flavor that enhances the dish. A vertical spit (trompo) is ideal for cooking, but you can use a regular charcoal grill set up for indirect heat if you don't have one. Gas grills are convenient but lack the smoky taste, unless you use a smoker box or wood chips. Don't forget to baste the meat with marinade while it cooks for extra flavor!
