Taquería El Pastorcito
Taquería El Pastorcito is a family-run taquería on De la Vina Street in Santa Barbara, California, specializing in tacos al pastor and associated with an annual al pastor festival.
History
The Vargas family runs the restaurant. According to the Santa Barbara Independent, the family's taco catering business had been operating since 2005 and was a frequent caterer for Santa Barbara Police Department events. The restaurant also hosted a yearly festival devoted to al pastor tacos.
Menu
As its name suggests, the specialty is al pastor, pork marinated in chile and spices and shaved from a vertical spit. The Independent's 2015 survey called its version the best in the area. The restaurant's address and catering history come from that 2015 article, so current details should be checked.
