Our take: Little Village’s culinary crossroads: where General Tso meets Al Pastor in a flavor mashup that shouldn’t work but absolutely does. This isn’t fusion – it’s two authentic cuisines sharing the spotlight, each playing their greatest hits. From the spinning trompo to the wok burners, it’s a delicious identity crisis you won’t want to resolve.

Wine Pairing: For this unique fusion, bring a versatile off-dry Riesling or a fruit-forward Garnacha. Both can handle spice and complement both cuisines.

Beer Pairing: Mexican lagers like Modelo Especial work with both cuisines. For a craft option, try Cruz Blanca's Mexico Calling Lager or Revolution's Rosa for versatility.

Spirits Pairing: Bring a bottle of baijiu like Ming River for Chinese dishes, or a quality reposado tequila like Fortaleza or G4 for tacos. Switch between the two for the full experience.
