I’d love to know as well. My benchmark is DF al pastor places. And a special little truck in San Miguel de Allende. And sadly, what little tacos, and pastor, that I have had locally don’t seem to measure up. I don’t know if I was biased while travelling, however. But I never seem to find tacos here so amazing that I’d devour a dozen in a row. The magic of lard south of the border, perhaps?
If you haven’t already, when it gets warmer, give Mamacitas Tacos outside Mountain View Target a try. I don’t remember about their pastor specifically, but generally their tacos are decent for the Bay Area.
And if you make it as far north as Redwood City, give the Los Carnalitos truck outside Planned Parenthood a try.
Sadly I haven’t explored the taco/ Mexican scene much south of Redwood City. There aren’t many, just random little shops here and there.
