Taqueria La Casita del pastor

Taqueria La Casita del Pastor is a South Austin spot organized around its name: al pastor, the pork cooked on a trompo, served the way taquerias have served it for generations. Handmade tortillas back up the tacos, and the operation runs lean and fast, with owner-operators keeping the pace friendly and the line short. Regulars describe it as a place they return to often, citing consistency and value as much as the food itself — the kind of neighborhood taqueria where the pastor tastes the same on visit fifty as it did on visit one.
