Key risk: Tacos al pastor from a dedicated street trompo are one of Mexico's safest street foods for most allergens. The main risk is gluten from potential wheat in the tortilla or Maggi in the salsa. No dairy, egg, tree nuts, or shellfish in the standard preparation. Ask for corn-only tortillas and skip salsas made with Maggi.
