I’ve gone to most of the taco spots in the area and have concluded Taqueria al Pastor is number one. The food is outstanding, prepared incredibly fast, and the service always amazing. I come back here frequently.

Very good but $17 for a burrito seems pretty high even if it is very tasty

I stopped in just for the tacos — and that’s all you really need to know. The al pastor taco is the star of the show: perfectly seasoned pork shaved right off the trompo, topped with pineapple, fresh onions, and cilantro, all wrapped in a handmade nixtamal tortilla that holds everything together like it was meant to.
It’s not the cheapest taco in NYC (around $5.75 each), but the quality backs up the price. The meat was juicy, not greasy, and the sweetness from the pineapple balanced the richness of the pork. Flavor-wise, it’s easily a 9 out of 10.
Didn’t try the burritos or other menu items, but the taco game here is strong. If you’re into real-deal tacos that remind you of a Mexico City street cart, this is worth the trip.
Would definitely go back — especially to try a few more while they’re hot off the trompo.

I visited this place recently and ordered three plates. All of the three plates had some hair in them. Too late to return them as I already drove back home but about $70 down the drain and just gross overall :/

Waited a long time to try the tacos here. Worth the wait. Al pastor and carne asada tacos were really good. Definitely coming back to try the burrito and quesadillas.

I said no onions, added tip and they put extra onions

The carne asada burrito and the salsa it comes with taste great but it feels very overpriced at $18.50. I would have it more often if it were a couple dollars cheaper. It just feels wrong paying that much for a burrito.

If you’re craving real-deal tacos, look no further than Taquería El Pastor on Myrtle Avenue. The pastor tacos are smoky, juicy, and straight off the trompo—pure flavor. But what really makes this spot special is the team.
Alejandra, Carlos, Jazmin, Yuli, and Oscar bring the place to life with their warmth, speed, and hospitality. They treat you like family—and feed you like it, too.
Fast service, killer tacos, and the best staff in Brooklyn. Rating: 10/10. Highly recommended.
