About the class
Join us for an unforgettable culinary experience featuring handcrafted, authentic tacos made with premium carne asada (grilled steak) and al pastor (marinated pork)—slow-cooked to perfection! Our carne asada is seared over high heat for a smoky char, while the al pastor is marinated in achiote, chiles, and pineapple, then crisped on the trompo for that iconic blend of sweet and savory.
Each taco is served on warm, house-made corn tortillas and topped with fresh cilantro, diced onions, and a squeeze of lime for that classic street-food authenticity. Don’t miss this limited-time pop-up where bold flavors and vibrant traditions come together in every bite!
