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.
Does it taste like real tacos al pastor?
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.
Is this rub spicy?
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.
Can I use it in vegetarian dishes?
Absolutely. It’s incredible on grilled mushrooms, jackfruit, aubergine, or even tofu. Makes a banging plant-based taco filling.
Any cooking tips for maximum flavour?
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.
Why You’ll Love It
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.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the shelf life of your seasonings?
Unopened cans stay fresh for up to 2 years thanks to our sealed aluminium packaging. Once opened, keep the lid on and store in a cool, dry place for long-lasting flavour.
Are your rubs gluten-free and vegan?
Most of our rubs are gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan-friendly, with no silica dioxide (sand!) or artificial additives. Check the product page or ingredients list to confirm.
Where are Smokey Rebel seasonings made?
All our blends are handcrafted in the UK using high-quality ingredients inspired by bold global flavours – with a heavy BBQ influence.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes! We offer worldwide shipping – costs and delivery times will vary depending on location and order size. UK orders typically arrive within 2–4 working days.
Can I use Smokey Rebel rubs without a BBQ or smoker?
Absolutely. Our blends are just as good in the oven, air fryer, or pan as they are over charcoal or wood. Ideal for everyday cooking, not just BBQ season.
Do your rubs contain sugar?
Some blends (like Hickory Hog and Cherry Force) contain a small amount of sugar to help with caramelisation and bark development. Others (like Revolution and Spitfire) are sugar-free and great for high-heat or keto-friendly cooking.
Do you offer gift sets or sampler packs?
Yes! We have a range of gift boxes and mini can bundles, perfect for BBQ lovers or seasoning addicts. These come packaged with extras like stickers, sweets, and a handwritten thank-you card.
Are your seasonings suitable for kids?
Many of our blends are family-friendly, with mild heat and well-balanced flavour. Spicier options like Spitfire or Holy Jalapeño are clearly marked.
