Neither. Kebab-like spits are a regional dish, which is found across several Middle Eastern countries, such as Turkey, Greece, Syria and Lebanon.

Kebabs in Mexico were brought by Lebanese immigrants during the early 20th century. Unlike their Middle Eastern counterparts, the lamb meat was replaced with pork and is commonly wrapped in pita bread or corn tortillas; these are known as "Tacos Arabes" (Spanish: Arab tacos) and "Tacos al Pastor" (Shepherd-style tacos).
