AI summary of what 2 dish mentions say about the food
The marlin al pastor earns rave reviews for its smoky, savory brilliance, while the overall vibe is one of vibrant, unpretentious coastal flavor that surprises and delights.
“I never heard of marlin al pastor! Most of the time al pastor is pork on the upright kebab skewer, but this is with marlin. That is so tasty. The marlin texture is similar to tuna — a little bit dry and crumbly, but it absorbs all of those flavors. The pineapple adds some juiciness as well, that sweet tartness with all the spices. That is phenomenal. Absolutely sensational. A must eat.”

Burrito de Marlin
This is a genius of a marlin burrito. They cook things on the hot griddle, arrange dozens of tortillas, put all those griddle toppings on top with marlin, stuff it with lettuce and tomatoes, wrap it up, then it goes back onto the hot griddle to roast until crispified and cheesy. When they're toasted and browned all the way around, he slices your burrito in half and turns them onto the cut so it caramelizes on the inside. The marlin has such a good texture — stringy, muscular. The mountain of lettuce and tomatoes wilts but still has crunch. When you squeeze it, the juices come out.
