The blue truck with the spinning top
Trompo Azul is a 1998 step van painted the blue of the house Rafa Ochoa grew up in, in Monterrey. The trompo goes on the spit at 3pm, stacked by hand with forty pounds of marinated pork shoulder.
We shave it to order with a long knife and catch the pineapple with the tortilla. If you have never seen it done, come early and watch.
