Omg, when I tell you this was a much needed meal, this was a MUCH NEEDED MEAL. Asadero Chikali was such a great find. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, which made the experience even better. It wasn't too busy when my husband and I went, and honestly it was one of those days where we couldn't decide what to eat and were tired of the usual fast food options. I'm so glad we ended up here. The carne con chile and chorizo con papa were both delicious. My husband ordered a plate with a little bit of everything, and wow, it was amazing. This is a great spot when you want something flavorful and satisfying instead of the usual fast food junk. We'll definitely be coming back. read more

SO GOOD. Ordered two asada tacos chikali style and this place did not disappoint. Will be coming back once their indoors opens again. Employees were so nice too. Just be warned that the parking lot is a little snug when you pull your car in. read more

Asadero Chikali - Chikali tacos to go - Tacos Near Me - Inglewood, California

Ordered through Postmates. I ordered 6 tacos. 2 asada, 2 chicken and 2 al pastor. The carne asada is extremely dry and for 6 tacos, they gave me one tiny bag of onions and cilantro. This place sucks. read more

My beautiful wife said eating at Asadero Chikali was "like eating at home". This is as good a review as she could ever give. Her Mexican Mama was one of the best cooks I've ever met and her Tias and Tias can throw down some amazing Mexican food, so her review says it all. I had the chicharron burrito and she got the sampler plate (carne, chicharron, chile verde, shredded beef, and refried beans) with flour tortillas. Everything tasted as if it were made with love and care. We can't wait to go back!!! read more

I've had this place out in east LA and I find it to be almost the same in terms of quality and execution. I got the sampler with friends and it was nice that you could get a sampler of each type of guisados. Off the top of my head, there was the bistec con Papa, chicharron, Winnie's con verdura, eggs with chorizo, and carne con chile. They were all excellent. It came with a large amount of condiments to add such as pickled onions, various salsas and cilantro, onions and limes. It also came with a few tortillas that are warm. The guisados were all braised very well and very flavorful without being salty. I will say I would ask or like more tortillas as it isn't enough for the sampler. Other than that, the staff was super chill and nice and were attentive to our needs. The free parking lot is nice to have but it's a little hectic with random cars parking where they shouldn't and tight spots. read more

I've been out to their stand in East LA before, but this was my first visit to their relatively new brick and mortar location in Inglewood. My previous visit, it was earlier in the day and ordered their breakfast sampler, which I really loved! (more guisado like and hearty served with tortillas). On this visit, I was focused on getting some of their tacos. The service was great - the person at the counter was very friendly and helpful and the vibe there was a small hole in the wall type of taqueria. I ended up ordering a carne deshebrada taco (de guisado) and an asada al carbon (chikali style). The tacos were a good size and two were definitely enough even though I probably could have eaten more. I don't know if I came extra hungry, but I devoured these tacos so quickly. So so delicious. The shredded beef was tender and the stewed flavors of tomato, onion, and peppers were wonderful. The asada taco - Chikali style (comes with guacamole and beans) had a great smoky flavor to it and a great contrast to the creamy guac. The tacos are also served on fresh flour tortillas, which imo made the tacos eat like mini burritos. They're generous on the salsas and toppings and if you dine in - you receive a tray to top your food yourself. The parking was tricky. Depending on how busy the strip mall is, parking can be tough and the lot feels a little small. It's off a busy street too. Next time I come here, I am going to check if there are street parking options around the corner where less fast moving traffic goes through. read more

Very delicious and authentic. Awesome and friendly service. Cozy eating area. Super super good.

As far as taco chains go, this was okay. Let me count the ways: Location: This one was located in Inglewood on Century Blvd and Myrtle in a tiny strip mall with the tightest parking lot ever. Located on the end of a set of stores Food: I got 3 carnitas tacos that were homemade as their claim to fame as you can see them making it in the kitchen. Meat was a little salty, but good. What sank the rating to 3 stars was the amount of grease at the bottom of each taco as I ate them that was on the plate. I needed loads of napkins for that. They do give you a lot of toppings to chose from (a whole tray) to put on your tacos from limes, salsas, 3 different kinds of sauces, cabbage, marinated red onions and raw onions and cilantro. This was just okay for me. Service: Was quick and efficient I have no complaints there. Summary: This location is different from the others in that there is no condiment bar, but come to you in individual bowls that arrive at your table for you to chose from. There is no outdoor seating, but all inside. This feels cramped and not a lot of room for large parties over 4 and even then, there are only 3-4 those and bumping into your neighbor behind you a distinct possibility. I would try the other locations if you want more space, but if you're just ordering to-go you can try this spot. read more

Best tacos I've had in years! So much flavor and the salsas are amazing. Thank you so much

Wow - best al pastor taco and best flour tortillas I've had in a long time! I tried a quesotaco w/barbacoa, a quesotaco w/ al pastor and a carne asada taco Chikli style with guacamole and beans! Tacos came with a whole tray of condiments (when dining in) and I loved the molcajete salsa and green jalapeño avocado sauce best + pico de gallo. $15 for a delicious dinner!

First time trying this spot . This was the Guisado norteño plate . With tax came up to 19.25 . The tortillas are warm and seem to be made here . If you aren't big on condiments just know this meat / sauce has a lot of them. The flavor is good just a heads up . It wasn't as busy a bit before noon . read more

Amazing Carne Asada tacos, best tortillas in town. Barbacoa and pastor are good too, but don't skip the steak. The Asada Burrito is probably the most bang for your buck - a lot of meat for a reasonable price. Get a Guisado Sampler if you're wanting to try something a bit more hearty. It's worth getting at least the uniquely textured chicharron at least. They say it's the rice that makes the sushi, and here it's the tortilla that makes the taco. An awesome option for tacos, highly recommend. read more

Came here with the family and the staff were so friendly and kind. Small parking which tend to get full. Food came out fresh. Handmade flour tortillas were so good. I had the vampiro carne asada and queso taco Al pastor. The Al pastor had great flavor and I think it's better than the asada. They give a you a samples of all the salads they have. It's also a small place but worth the try. read more

I wanted to add after I went to the resturant. I ordered the next day on ubereats. My husband ordered the vampire taco with beef. Its more like a tostada. I ordered the asada again with beans and guacamole. Nothing was overly salty and everything tasted fresh. The condiments are what makes it special and the simplicity. I am biased though because as a Texan I prefer handmade flour tortillas. So if you enjoy flour tortillas. This is a fast and affordable spot close to the airport. read more

Delicious guisados! We ordered a barbacoa quesataco (must have!), guisado sampler, and barbacoa burrito. For the sampler, we ordered carne con papas (2), chicharron, puerco con papas, papas con vegetables, and chorizo con papas. Everything was delicious and so satisfying. Did not take pictures since we were so excited to eat guisados. Service was friendly and helpful. It's a Mom and Pop shop, clean and small. They have sit down area or to-go option. Tables seat four at most. Great option for grabbing something good to eat before a game. It's 5-6 blocks from Sofi stadium. There's a parking lot also. We will be back for sure! read more

I saw this restaurant on IG and thought I would come and give them a try since it's near my neighborhood. I enjoyed each bite of my tacos, especially the potato & beans. Both Asada and Birria were flavorful, so next time I will skip the vampiro and get all tacos because the burnt cheese overpowered my Asada. (I usually love this combo) As for the condiments and toppings, I love that they offer a full spread, but I only ordered three tacos and still received everything. While I appreciate the generosity, I feel like it leads to a lot of waste. To help them cut costs and reduce waste, they might consider asking customers which salsas and toppings they prefer instead of automatically providing the full selection. A simple system either a topping bar (space permitting) or a small menu at the counter displaying available options could be helpful. Maybe offering the full spread only for orders of six or more tacos would also be a good balance. horchata: 3/5 Potato and bean tacos: 4/5 Barbacoa: 3.5/5 Vampiro: 3/5 Service was friendly, and I'd definitely come back. One thing I really appreciate is that they have a private parking lot, which is a huge plus. However, I'd recommend avoiding Century Blvd if possible it tends to get congested. Taking an alternate route or using side streets might save you some time. I really want this place to succeed, and I'm wishing them all the best. Definitely check them out and show your support! read more

Asadero Chikali is a local gem that has transitioned from a food truck to a cozy restaurant, and it has only gotten better with time. The limited seating adds to the intimate and welcoming vibe, while the great music creates the perfect atmosphere for enjoying a meal. One of the standout features is their salsa tray, offering a variety of sauces that cater to every taste - it's a must-try! The food quality is simply spectacular; each dish is savory, flavorful, and incredibly delicious. Whether you're a local or visiting, every bite feels like a little piece of heaven. The tacos are especially memorable, with fresh ingredients and a perfect balance of flavors. The fresh tortillas are just a great touch. I love coming back time and again, knowing that Asadero Chikali will consistently serve up phenomenal food. It's hands down one of the best spots in town for authentic Mexican eats! Service is quick and simple just be ready to wait if there's a line. read more

Amazing guisados and fresh tortillas in an unassuming strip mall right off Century. We got the guisado sampler - the standout for me was the chicharrones- and a bunch of tacos/vampiros (asada and pastor were both delicious). We got all of the taco "chikali style" which means they come with guacamole and beans. They bring out a whole tray of different salsas toppings for you to add to your meal (cucumbers, chopped cabbage, onions, cilantro, etc). There is a small lot but spots are on the tight side. read more

Wow, just wow. A craving for tacos brought us to Asadero Chikali to try Juarez-Style comida that was absolutely delicious. Everything ordered was devoured. The staff were super friendly and patient as they went over the different guisados on the menu. The meats were beyond flavorful. The mesquite smoke shined in the carne asada and the Al pastor was vibrant and savory with its marinate. The assorted salsa bar was a superb compliment to our meal offering many flavors of fresh produce and medium to spicy salsas. Highly impressed. Muchas Gracias! read more

FANTASTIC food and service. Stopped in for a quick bite before a concert, was concerned about being late for the concert but the service was mad quick. You walk in, order at the counter, then sit down and they bring you your food. You can get to-go if you want. They bring a tray of assortment goodies to pack with your tacos. I got the sampler which comes with 6 different of their meats. Not sure what goes into which meat they give you but everything on the plate was delicious, especially the pork rinds in green sauce. The salsas are delicious. The beans are also incredible. My partner hates beans and never ever eats beans but ate most of them off the plate! The star of the show are the fresh flour tortillas cooked to order. Small but delicious and hot! The place is very clean. Only four tables and they had two tvs going. One with a soccer game and one with music. Highly recommend coming here. Incredible food. read more

I'm so happy I stopped at this place. This is some of the best tacos I've had in a while. I didn't take photos of everything we ate because they disappeared way too fast.

Tried their al pastor and asada tacos chikali style and thought they were delicious. $4 each. Tried the guac and green salsa and both were great. Will return. On a side note my friend had the al pastor burrito and said it wasn't great. The al pastor isn't on a trompo (vertical rotisserie style) but to me it had good flavor. Parking in the little plaza was not too bad, there were several spots available around 1pm on a weekday. I would definitely recommend checking it out, I know I'll be back.

Great tacos. Our fav was the al pastor but everything was excellent. The spread of salsas and toppings was huge and they were all delicious.

What a great place to eat, this was our second time there, and it didn't disappoint. I ordered from Toast, but the store said that a driver was never assigned to my order. Well instead of letting my food go to waste, they took the initiative and delivered it themselves. Stacy is a real one for bringing my order. Highly recommend everyone in the Inglewood area to come eat these bomb burritos. The fried egg is a pleasant surprise and the handmade tortilla makes this burrito unlike any other. read more
