Previously we've claimed that Rancho Bravo al pastor tacos are delicious. Still true. They're not "real" al pastor tacos, though, meaning the pork isn't cooked on a vertical spit while basting in pineapple drippings and sliced directly from the spit to your soft, waiting tortilla. It's an approximation of that, but, come on, Rancho Bravo's a 10-sq.-ft. truck. (We can't wait to get to their new Capitol Hill location, but is the old KFC really an upgrade from a spot four feet away from a dumpster in a parking lot in Wallingford?)

The Taco Bravo Rancho Bravo truck in Wallingford has the second best tacos al pastor that Seattlest has ever had. A trip to Mexico a few weeks ago provided the third best. The absolute best came from a burrito place just outside of Chicago circa 1997, but details of that era are sketchy at best and the experience may have expanded in the remembering. Somehow we still haven't had the "real" al pastor that is said to be roasted on a vertical spit gyro style.
