Puebla in Austin
Puebla gave Mexico the taco árabe — Lebanese immigrants' spit-roasted lamb on pan árabe — which traveled to Mexico City, met the chiles, and became al pastor. The ancestor still lives here, drier and closer to the original.
The tell
The tell is pan árabe instead of a corn tortilla, and a chipotle-garlic heat rather than pineapple sweetness.Order: Tacos árabes, cemitas, mole poblano
