Taco culture

El Oso names al pastor as its signature taco and describes making tortillas with Cintli in Berlin, preparing fresh salsa and building its own trompo. VisitBerlin also documents the taquería.

Those details point to Mexican cooking practiced in Germany, not a new national taco recipe. The representative al pastor image shows the food style rather than a specific El Oso serving. Check the business directly for its latest location and menu before visiting.
