What makes Smokey so special
Built on traditional Mexican ingredients
This rub draws directly from the flavours of Mexico City’s iconic Al Pastor tacos — with achiote, guajillo, cinnamon and Mexican oregano giving it that deep, unmistakable street food character.Pineapple adds a natural sweetness
A touch of real pineapple brings just the right amount of fruity acidity, helping to balance the earthy chillies and warm spices. It’s subtle, but it brings the whole blend to life — just like the tacos it was inspired by.
Clean and concentrated flavour
There’s no filler in Al Pastor — just a compact, intensely flavoured blend that delivers bold results with a small amount. A little goes a long way, whether you’re cooking pork, chicken or jackfruit.Made for tacos, but bigger than that
Yes, it’s built for tacos — but this blend shines in burritos, quesadillas, and even on roast veg or grilled pineapple. It’s one of the most versatile and exciting rubs in the range.What makes Smokey so special

Yes, it’s built for tacos — but this blend shines in burritos, quesadillas, and even on roast veg or grilled pineapple. It’s one of the most versatile and exciting rubs in the range.Traditionally it’s amazing on thin-sliced pork shoulder or neck, but it also works brilliantly on chicken, lamb, or jackfruit. Just rub generously, marinate if you like, and grill, roast or pan-fry.
Yes – it captures the essence with a balance of sweet pineapple, smoky chilli, cumin, and warm spices. You get that classic Mexican street food flavour without the need for a spit.
Not at all. Al Pastor is completely mild — no noticeable heat. It’s packed with flavour from ingredients like pineapple, achiote and cinnamon, but without the chilli burn.
Absolutely. It’s incredible on grilled mushrooms, jackfruit, aubergine, or even tofu. Makes a banging plant-based taco filling.
Pair it with a splash of pineapple juice or a drizzle of oil for a wet marinade, then grill until caramelised. Serve in warm tortillas with onions, coriander, and a squeeze of lime.
