El Pastór is inspired by the founders of Barrafina and their subsequent desire to create a taqueria akin to those in Mexico’s capital and beyond.

A mighty ‘trompo’ (upright grill) takes pride of place and used to make the Mexico City staple ‘al pastor’, a pork-based taco meaning 'shepherd style', from which the restaurant’s name is inspired. The restaurant boasts their own special house marinade and has dedicated the entirety of the mezzanine floor to a tortilla factory - producing freshly baked corn tortillas, from scratch, twice daily.

Alongside the El Pastór is a compact selection of meat, fish and vegetarian tacos - all served with a selection of salsas made freshly and daily in-house as well as a selection of snacks - including: Mexican seafood tostadas, chicharrón de queso and chargrilled esquites. 

Architecture and design for the 60 cover space is by Michaelis Boyd and Irving and Co., and references the bustling street-side taquerias and lively cantinas of Mexico. The Harts borthers are joined in the project by Crispin Somerville, who with Sam, owned and ran cult Mexico City nightclub, El Colmillo.
