    Al pastor
    Alex J.

    Finally swung by Asadas tonight and for a Friday at just about 7pm, they were already busy! Sadly this spot has just as many negatives as it does positives. They have a good set up going on and a clear menu. The cashier is sweet and helps you when you have questions. They also had two types of aguas frescas (drinks) horchata and cucumber. I went ahead and ordered some queso tacos with asada and regular tacos with al pastor, all with everything (onions, cilantro, and guac sauce) as well as horchata. They make tortillas on the spot which is fantastic! One of the cooks throws them onto the grill as people order so sometimes orders may take a minute longer. The meat is constantly grilled as is the al pastor, but they have much of the meat already chopped in containers to put on the tacos. They have a small "salsa" area with two salsas, both of which are spicy, I believe a jalapeno based and a habanero based. The habanero tasted way better but was, obviously so much spicier. I do wish they had other heat levels or even a mild so there's one hit on the rating. They also have sliced turnips but you can't see how clean they are in the dark. I got back home and saw that they weren't washed at all and still super dirty. Another downer. Now for the tacos. The tortillas were good but I don't think they are cooked long enough. They do pile on a lot of meat which is good. The queso tacos are fantastic but it depends on what meat you order. They are so cheesy and gooey, so if you love cheese as much as I do, these are a must. Sadly the asada was so fatty that I ended up barely eating two and tossing the rest of the meat from the tortillas. I pretty much ended up eating mini quesadillas with guac sauce. The al pastor has good flavor but it's so dry and much of it is burnt. Another let down with the meat. And I'm not surprised at that because instead of letting the al pastor rotate on the spit with the fire going, it stands still with the flame burning one side at a time. They also didn't add any pineapple to my tacos. With all these taco stands popping up, I was expecting and hoping this would be worth it. I would rather still just go to Kogi BBQ or head to Tacos El Venado.

    3150 N San Fernando Rd, Los Angeles, Ca 90065 in front of Goodwill Outlet - 10am - 8pm - Tuesday - Sunday (Closed Monday's) My Compa showed me some photos on Instagram of some AMAZING looking tacos, the page was from this place called Asadas El Infierno, they have several set-ups from Northridge to NELA, it's in my hood so had to come check them out. Perhaps after seeing the amazing photos I came here with high expectations but I'm going to have to agree with the majority of the Yelp reviews for their "Northridge location" https://www.yelp.com/biz/asadas-el-infierno-los-angeles the tacos are just not very good, from the way it's cooked to how it's chopped and lack of flavor, when the best thing on the plate is the hand-made corn tortillas and salsa you've got a problem. Tacos - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/asadas-el-infierno-los-angeles-2?select=IKxDKrcRt30JcJXVik2-bQ&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Carne Asada ($2.00) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/asadas-el-infierno-los-angeles-2?select=jnMiw_4Z09DCyREECtykaA&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg I'm not sure what cut of meat they use but my issues were with the way it was chopped in very large chunks and quite a bit of gristle made it very chewy and hard to eat. Meat is cooked al carbon; flavor was there just bad execution of a lower cut of meat. 2-Stars Al Pastor ($2.00) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/asadas-el-infierno-los-angeles-2?select=hh7m4XLAzOlLkZV-AejS9g&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg First off unlike their Instagram photos show they had NO trompo! I got ZERO flavor from any marinade; it was more like a chunky chopped pork chop! And not even chopped well https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/asadas-el-infierno-los-angeles-2?select=WglsEwO2ZaYoqv_In8THhw&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg that was one piece NOT even chopped all the way through and still connected as one piece. You should be ashamed of attempting to pass this off as al pastor. Epic FAIL Birria de Res/Beef ($3.00) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/asadas-el-infierno-los-angeles-2?select=vw--K-vILWlN-Or2QESy9Q&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Definitely the best of the plate, don't think it's worth the extra $1, but other than most of the meat was larger chunky pieces the flavor was ok, plenty of better Birria spots in the area. 3-Stars Sorry these guys don't live up to their Instagram hype, there are too many better options in NELA

    Rib plate

    Omg! They have a rib plate!! Comes with 3 yummy ribs, rice & beans, and 4 tortillas!! So good and priced so reasonable!! It was enough food for my hubby and I to share! The people are so friendly!! Thank you as always!

    Burnt food

    On our way to get boba we saw this place and decided to stop. If you ever see this place don't go there. It's definitely the worse taco place ever. We couldn't eat the food. It was so burnt and nasty

    Birria quesa tacos

    Idk what happened, but whatever they did to turn it around keep it up!!!! I literally come here often now cuz it's that bomb! whoever is cooking now and making the salsas is getting it right!

    The owners are rude, confrontational and think they own a spot on a public street. And the food isn't so great either.

I came here for dinner on a week night and my experience here was pretty good. I had the asada and al pastor tacos with all the toppings and they were both so good and full of meat and heat. The toppings can be spicy for some, so be warned. My favorite of the two was the all pastor which was flavorful and I did like the thinly shaved meat. It was not dry at all and was fresh. I also tried the mulita with al pastor meat and that was also soso good. Cheesy, meaty, and indulgent. The additional topping section had good variety with pickled onions, cucumbers, etc. and everything seemed pretty fresh. Unfortunately, they were pretty much out of the roasted pepper and grilled onions at the time I went. To drink, I had the horchata and that was also very delicious. It was huge, sweet, and creamy. I also loved how it was not grainy at all. A good pairing with the rich foods. They also have a good amount of seating at the stand with a long table and multiple chairs. Parking is tricky since its street parking only.

Just make sure you order enough the first time so you dont have to wait in line again. There is some parking but it gets pretty crowded too so you might have to street park (and the area around can get a little sketch) so be careful. The second time we came here was almost 1130pm right before their midnight closing. This time, the parking lot was emptier so we managed to park inside. There was still a pretty steady stream of customers even around closing, but at least the line isn't ridiculously long. Can't go wrong with anything you order here!

I do like how they grill their meat though and they use the tortillas to scoop up the meat on the grill. Thought the al pastor was a bit salty and the cheese did not add much flavor to it, but that's probably a good thing considering the saltiness of the meat. Also, make sure you ask them for pineapples since they did not include it until we asked. They do have them sliced up in a container by the meats. Ambience is very casual and it's a stand while eating type of situation. Service was quick.

You can tell that it's house made and I liked the chewy texture of it. However, respectfully the filling felt and tasted like bean goo. I could only really taste the refried bean flavor which was strong. It kind of meshed all the components together into a gooey filling. I got this with asada meat and the meat was kind of chewy and not so flavorful on its own. Props to the tortilla though for not spilling everything out and holding it together well, but still a bit difficult to eat. I would ask for utensils when eating this dish. The green onion garnish was unique. I wish they gave more lime wedges because that helped elevate the dish. For $13 this wasn't too bad, but I'd rather get a better burrito from a street vendor. This is a casual eats type of place with both indoor and outdoor seating and tables. They also serve alcohol and even frozen alcoholic drinks. They have a free parking lot in front, but it can be competitive to get a spot. Overall, my experience here was just okay and I would opt for other spots.
