BEST Late Night TACOS AL PASTOR in NEW YORK | Mexican Street Food NYC

The best tacos al pastor in NYC can be found late night on the streets of Jackson Heights, Queens. Yes, the term “best” isn’t one to be thrown around loosely, but we truly believe these are the best NYC has to offer. Watch the video to see for yourself why.

We have been coming to this cart on Roosevelt Avenue and Junction Boulevard for about a year and a half now and are hooked! We gained an even greater respect for their craft after visiting Mexico City earlier this year, which has spinning trompos of al pastor on nearly every block at times.

We post about this cart often on Instagram and we devoted an entire blog post to it:

ABOUT FOOD AND FOOTPRINTS:

We are Greg and Jumi, hailing from opposite ends of the globe. Greg is a native New Yorker who was born and raised in Queens NYC and Jumi grew up in the beautiful islands of the Visayas region of the Philippines.

How did we meet? One of us messaged the other on Instagram (before sliding in DM's was even possible through the app!) and we met just after Hurricane Sandy hit NYC in October 2012. Although we grew up in two very different worlds, we bonded over a love of experiences over material things, delicious food and exploration.

We have visited 15+ countries together since December 2014 exploring beaches, ancient temples, bustling streets and ruins. Along the way, we get adrenaline flowing whether paragliding, ziplining, or jetskiing.

To fuel up for our adventures (and everyday life), we eat lots of local food wherever we are. Street food, carts, trucks, hidden gems and family-run sit-downs are our mainstays. We don't cook, but prefer to spend our money on experiences and we treat food as one. Hey, we gotta eat regardless, right? May as well enjoy it and support good businesses while we're at it!

All of this is done while we work full-time at our day jobs. How do we do it? Follow along our journeys and you will learn more. Welcome to our lifestyle!

The al pastor and torta looked amazing. Loved the look of the thin meat and how giant flame was giving it slightly charred edges. I really like the old story about knowing which is the best al pastor place based on the size of the meat on the trompo and they sure had a lot! What a find guys! Thanks for making this one. Cheers, Thomas 😀

That looks delicious 4:02. We want to visit NYC. Not sure how well we will do with the crowds but the food looks amazing.

OMGG I'm craving pastor tacos now!! I'm gonna need to try this place when I go to NYC next year. Loved the Kung Fu Tea stop in the beginning too hehe I love their white gourd milk tea! Also, did you guys ask them if you could go into their back area to film the pastor being made?

[KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Your Spanish is so spot on, your accent is perfect.. How did you learn? That torta is a dream too!

[TheWorldIsHome]

Thanks guys. I don't really eat junk food but seeing you enjoy it so much, it must be good. Gracias.

Brings back memories of chasing food when you left a nightclub at the wee hours of the morning. This late night food looks much better than the hotdogs we used eat late night. These tacos look amazing and well worth getting out at this hours for a feed

Never take those city gems for granted. So true.

We went there tonight. I wanted to go for a while after watching this video. It didn’t let us down. Truly the best tacos and tortas we have ever had so far. Hands down! One of the customers who’s from Mexico City told us that this cart is the best in the area and really authentic while we were waiting for our food. Thank you so much for recommending this cart. The food is awesome! We also enjoy watching the owner cut and catch the pineapples. Will be back soon.

Awesome work Greg and Jumi!! I love this spot!

[Hitraveltales]

Looks very yummy ... though getting up at midnight to eat tacos in NYC? Are the stands open during the day? Had tacos like that in Baja and in LA and they are absolutely THE best.

[walkingtraveler]

I love the close up shots you take of the food, it allows us to see the beautiful texture... that green texture in the taco was amazing

[TouringTastebuds]

Oh man Stef and I are obsessed with street tacos, they look amazing! Will have to remember this!

[CozinhadoLeandroVilela]

That flame is huge! Surprised that they're even allowed to be out there with that open fire. The tacos looked really good, so fresh!
