I think the real question is; If there is a god, does he/she like tacos? Certainly not the pork variety, but maybe the others?

I like Al Pastor, but it's too sweet for DCR's tastes. It does seem the sweet overpowers the spicy often (which, of course, is fine by me).
I never noticed sweet in the pastor tacos I get, I guess if it's real sweet I'll use half of the recommended pineapple

Elmers Tacos in Chandler have the best Al Pastor that I've ever had. Not sweet at all that I've noticed. I usually get their Al Pastor burrito.

I do sharkys on baseline however I was told about Elmer's a few days ago. Interesting to see that name again....

Elmer's has been around for a very long time. Around the 60's or 70's. They've served students at Chandler High during lunch for a while. My wife went to Chandler High & always went there for lunch. They have an open campus. Elmer passed away not too long ago but his family still runs it. Authentic as can be. Just their bean burro with sauce is phenomenal.

Do they make their tortillas?

The pork is marinated in pineapple. The tacos themselves don't have pineapple in them typically.

I think I will watch some more video before giving it a try. :D

Still love my mom's red enchilada's but I have been inspired by Gadzook's and I started making hatch green enchilada's with mashed potatoes filling.


Here's my little brother checking out my mom's green chili...

I ate there once years ago and it was the bomb. I heard they are opening a location on like country club and southern, excited for that.

I think you get the best bang for your buck at Carolina's. The burritos are like $3-$4 and are really good. when it opens, order the Oaxaca Burrito (beans, potatoes, chorizo) - my mouth is watering thinking about this burrito....

Corn recipe is a little more time intensive but worth it. Homemade is always best...IMO
