Tacos Roy
Tacos Roy is a multi-location al pastor taquería in Oaxaca City that starts a fresh spit every day.
Overview
Oaxaca Travel Tips lists Tacos Roy as having several locations in the city. The specialty is al pastor, and the guide notes that a new trompo, the vertical spit of stacked marinated pork, is built and started fresh each day rather than carried over. It also recommends the alambre with cheese, chopped meat griddled with peppers and onion and topped with melted cheese, eaten with tortillas. The guide gives no addresses or founding date.
Context
Oaxaca de Juárez has its own taco culture built on local ingredients such as tasajo (thin salted beef), cecina enchilada (chile-rubbed pork), chorizo, quesillo and chile de agua, served alongside the tlayudas and memelas the state is known for. Street carts are not allowed to operate in the city on Wednesdays, although the rule is often relaxed on holidays.
