Tacos al pastor at Mosto

📝 The Full Story

We have a real mezcal bar in San Francisco. Is the sister little property of Tacolicious. Mosto/El Burger also has good pastor. Skip the burgers. There's a picture of Obama, and that guy knew about good food when I saw him on a little banquito in Hanoi eating bún chả with Bourdain, so I will trust his selection of tacos. Not sure if he paired them with some mezcal. The tacos al pastor come from a proper trompo and remain the reason to go. Carved with char, pineapple, and salsa. We did a small reel when we visited. Check it out. They have a good mezcal selection too. Lately they are also making burgers, but I think that loses part of what made me recommend them the first time. Stick to the pastor. Skip the burgers.

If you're visiting Mosto

Is Mosto the bar next to Tacolicious?

Tacolicious has a small bar next door. Might be the extra space but for me, it has always been the main attraction. A full mezcal bar, with pastor tacos. Intimate. With banda linda. The pastor that the Mission gives.

What should I order at Mosto?

Stick to the pastor. It comes from a proper trompo, carved with char, pineapple, and salsa. Skip the burgers. That loses part of what made me recommend them.

Do they have mezcal?

Yes. Good mezcal selection. That is half the point.
