    Salsas and other toppings
    Anthony M.

    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!!!

    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.

    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.

    Three carnitas tacos with guac. Was a little greasy underneath

    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.

    Barbacoa quesotaco, al pastor quesotaco and Chickli style carne asada taco
    Lauren B.

    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! Servers were really friendly- I'll be back for more soon!

    Que rico! Fresh salsas

    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 .

    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.

    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.

    Bomb food very tasty and delicious. Love the salsa bar they bring out with the order. Very friendly and professional service. Small little restaurant space but perfect and so delicious. Highly recommend if you're looking for some bomb tacos...

    Amazing service!! Authentic Mexican GUISADOS!! You feel like you're at your grandmas house. Que Dios los bendiga!!! Todo tan sabroso !!!

    Rushie B.

    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!

    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.
