Del Taco and Trejo’s Tacos are joining forces to release new Roasted Pork [Al Pastor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/al-pastor-street-tacos).

Instead of acting as rivals, fellow Mexican-style restaurants, Del Taco and Trejo’s Tacos, are combining their talents to give fans a delicious new menu option. The new Roasted Pork Al Pastor menu, which will be available from Del Taco locations nationwide, puts the spotlight on fire-roasted pork that's been marinated in a traditional spice blend of chipotle, onions, and garlic, all blended with sweet pineapple juice. The new Del Taco x Trejo’s Tacos menu allows you to enjoy the Roasted Pork Al Pastor in a variety of ways, including the Al Pastor [Street](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-al-pastor-street-chalupas) Taco, Al Pastor Loaded Fries, [Al Pastor Epic Burrito](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chipotle-carne-asada-steak-burrito), and Al Pastor Cheddar Quesadilla.
