Al Pastor Tacos at Taqueria El Chingon Edmonton - Authentic Mexican tacos with marinated pork and pineapple on handmade corn tortillas

About Our Al Pastor Tacos

Our Al Pastor Tacos are the crown jewel of Taqueria El Chingon's menu and the dish that has put us on Edmonton's culinary map. For years, locals searched for authentic al pastor in the city—and now they've found it in our cozy Ritchie neighborhood taqueria on Whyte Avenue.

We use premium Berkshire pork shoulder, marinated for hours in a blend of traditional Mexican spices including achiote, guajillo chilies, and aromatic herbs. The meat is slow-cooked until perfectly tender, then finished with caramelized pineapple that adds the signature sweet-savory balance that defines true al pastor.

What Makes Our Al Pastor Special

The secret to our Al Pastor Tacos lies in our commitment to authenticity. Our mother-daughter team sources only the highest quality ingredients and prepares everything fresh daily. Each taco is generously stuffed—so much so that you'll need both hands to eat it—and features perfectly caramelized onions, smoky meat, gooey cheese, and a hint of fresh lime.
