<P> Al pastor ( from Spanish , `` shepherd style '' ) , also known as tacos al pastor , is a dish developed in Central Mexico that is based on shawarma spit - grilled meat brought by the Lebanese immigrants to Mexico . Being derived from shawarma , it is also similar to the Turkish döner kebab and the Greek gyros . Although shawarma and döner are usually lamb - based ( thus the `` shepherd - style '' name ) , gyros and tacos al pastor in Mexico are pork based . In some places of northern Mexico , as in Baja California , this taco is called taco de adobada . </P>
