I read mixed reviews on Yelp.
Pineapple juice contains bromelain…one of the key ingredients in meat tenderizer, so it serves a serious purpose

That was my thought as well, that what I thought were popular taco types were not even on the list.
Lengua, cabrito and some type of fish taco all seemed like they would be in the top 10 but they did not show at all in the 14+ types shown.
I also had to look “ambas” up, with regards to salsa. It means both, not neither. Otras/other is barely within my ken.
I really need to improve my Spanish language skills.

Most of the pastor I get in Austin has small bits of pineapple cooked with the pork, not used as a garnish. It is a taco that is often eaten with no salsa, only fresh cilantro, onion, and lime (limon verde). Also, while most restaurants serve either refried or charro beans as a side for tacos, tacos al pastor around here are often accompanied by a bowl of black beans.
I loved the video of the four guys making and comparing their home made tacos. Tough judges! I noticed they always referred to limes as limon. In Austin, since yellow lemons are always in demand for iced tea, if you ask for limon verde you get lime. Ask for limon amarillo and you get lemon. Ask for limon, and you get dealer’s choice. I don’t think of yellow lemons when I think of Mexican cooking. It was also fun to see the use of radishes, a great way to brighten up an otherwise muted taco. I also loved it when one guy put three salsas on a taco at the same time. I guess tacos just aren’t messy enough with only one salsa!
