Tacos Al Pastor

While we were in Madrid we finally got tired of eating Tapas, so we ventured off to find Mexican food. We would eat Mexican food everyday if we could. Unfortunately, here in Florida the Mexican food is not like what we grew up on in TX! We found multiple places in Spain that served tacos that I considered Tex-Mex. Here is my favorite!
