Los Del Pastor
Los Del Pastor is a taco truck and tent operation on Atlantic Avenue in East Compton, known for crisp-edged al pastor carved from a trompo.
Overview
Los Del Pastor sets up as a food truck with a tent in front of a park at 15300 Atlantic Avenue in East Compton, an unincorporated area beside the city of Compton. The Infatuation included it in its guide to the best restaurants in Compton, updated in January 2024.
The guide focused on the al pastor, shaved from a vertical spit, or trompo, and described the meat as crisper than the versions the writers had eaten elsewhere. Customers dress their tacos at a self-serve salsa bar.
Context
Al pastor is pork marinated in chiles and achiote and roasted on a vertical spit. In Los Angeles, trompos at street stands and trucks in neighborhoods such as Compton, South Gate and East LA are a common sight, and stands are often judged by how well they crisp the edges of the meat. The source does not give a founding date or owner names.
