I would say so? It was created in Mexico, grew in Mexico, and now consumers attribute the food to Mexico. But totally understand what you’re talking about- pretty much every ‘real’ Mexican joint I’ve been to out west serves Al Pastor, even if it’s heavily influenced by Lebanese cuisine (in the sense that it’s cooked and carved on a big spit.)

Idk why anything about that is ironic. The story behind Al Pastor is certainly interesting and it’s really cool to see the mix of cultures through the food, but how is that ironic?

Lmao OP has no credibility talking about real Mexican food, but I will say Mad Taco is pretty bad. I was excited to try it since it’s one of the few places around that serves Al Pastor, but what I got was just flavorless pulled pork. That would be like ordering a cheesesteak and just getting a cheeseburger. FWIW, Taco Gordo in Burlington has Pastor that rivals any I are growing up in Colorado

Lmao this is hilarious I’m from Colorado too but never was I astonished that Vermont has ski resorts. Go ski Jay. It’s different than what we have out West but awesome. I’ve had some of my favorite days skiing being away from it all up at Jay
