Late-night taco stand in downtown Tulum, where the al pastor comes off the trompo bright orange, tender, and topped with pineapple, onion, cilantro, and salsa. The tortas run the same meat, and the real move is a shared fried-hash combo cooked on a flattop, arriving with corn tortillas so you can build your own. In a neighborhood full of marquesita carts aimed squarely at tourists, El Tio has been the locals' detour for a long time.
