    I miss some home cooked Mexican meals so I was in the mood for it! I was doing some research on TikTok to find some good Inglewood food spots and came across this one. The food was authentic, and had great flavor. The tortillas were handmade, which is definitely a plus in my book. The salsa platter was also a hit! I give the place four stars instead of five because the fresh pineapple juice had little chunks of pineapple, and it was hard to drink, and was also very sweet, that's just my personal preference on how I like my agua frescas.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    Barbacoa quesotaco, al pastor quesotaco and Chickli style carne asada taco

    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 .

    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...

    The Mrs. and I along with our families absolutely love this place! We really enjoy the nachos they…read morehave whether they contain asada or pollo. They come with cheese, beans, sour cream, guacamole, and chips. These are amazing and there has not been a time where we have not finished them whenever we ordered them. Also, the fries are good and contain similar ingredients. I ate carne asada fries after parties back in the day and these truly bring back fond memories of the past. The tacos and burritos are also good. The former has salsa, onions and cilantro while the latter has the same ingredients in addition to beans. I think they are good no matter what meat you choose to include. I have also even added shrimp to an asada burrito, which is probably my favorite burrito combination. I also love the horchata here and the efficient system they have for getting your order out in a very timely manner!

    Absolutely Terrible Drive-Thru Experience…read more Went through the drive-thru last night and somehow managed to have one problem after another. First, when I pulled up to order, the girl asked if I was ready. I said I needed a minute, and literally 15 seconds later I said I was ready. She asked, "what do you want?" I started ordering and she immediately cut me off and said, "Hold on," then started taking my order. I ordered a large Pepsi. She said, "Large coffee?" I said, "No, Pepsi." She then said, "I don't know what that is." I explained that I meant a soda, like Coke. She said, "We don't have Coke, only Pepsi." At this point I'm thinking, Are we seriously struggling with the word Pepsi? I repeated, "Yes, a large Pepsi." Then I got to the window. She asked if I wanted salsa or vegetables. I said yes, extra red salsa and extra carrots. I had ordered SIX tacos and a burrito, so I expected a reasonable amount of salsa. Instead, I was handed two tiny containers of salsa. I had already driven away from the window before checking my order, so I parked and went inside. The SAME girl from the drive-thru saw me and asked what I needed. I explained that I had asked for extra salsa and only received two. I even spoke to her in both English and Spanish because apparently neither was getting through. She walked about three feet away and told a coworker that she didn't know what I was talking about. He came over and asked what I needed. I said, "Salsa, please." He then asked the cook for salsa, and he said they were out of salsa and only had "cumbias." Then they all laughed. Seriously? Not one person apologized. Not one person seemed concerned that I had just had an awful experience. The entire interaction was incredibly unprofessional and dismissive. Your logo says: "Come for the tacos. Stay for the experience. Come back because nothing else compares." Well, I came for the tacos, left because of the experience, and definitely won't be coming back -- because I can get better tacos from a taco stand without having to deal with this level of incompetence. The tacos aren't good enough to make up for terrible customer service. Train your employees to listen, communicate, and treat customers with basic respect. Una experiencia terrible en el autoservicio Anoche fui al autoservicio y, de alguna manera, lograron que una cosa saliera mal tras otra. Primero, cuando llegué a ordenar, la muchacha me preguntó si estaba lista. Le dije que necesitaba un minuto y, literalmente, unos 15 segundos después le dije que ya estaba lista. Me preguntó: "¿que quiere?" Empecé a ordenar y de inmediato me interrumpió y dijo: "Espere." Después empezó a tomar mi orden. Pedí una Pepsi grande. Ella dijo: "¿Café grande?" Le dije: "No, Pepsi." Y me respondió: "No sé qué es eso." Le expliqué que me refería a un refresco, como Coca-Cola. Me dijo: "No tenemos Coca, solamente Pepsi." En ese momento pensé: ¿De verdad estamos teniendo problemas con la palabra Pepsi? Le repetí: "Sí, una Pepsi grande." Después llegué a la ventana. Me preguntó si quería salsa o verduras. Le dije que sí, salsa roja extra y zanahorias extra. Había pedido SEIS tacos y un burrito, así que esperaba una cantidad razonable de salsa. En cambio, me entregó dos recipientes pequeños de salsa. Ya me había alejado de la ventana cuando revisé mi orden, así que estacioné el carro y entré al restaurante. La MISMA muchacha del autoservicio me vio y me preguntó qué necesitaba. Le expliqué que había pedido salsa extra y que solamente me habían dado dos. Incluso le hablé en inglés y en español porque aparentemente ninguno de los dos idiomas estaba funcionando. Se alejó unos tres pies y le dijo a un compañero de trabajo que no sabía de qué estaba hablando. Él se acercó y me preguntó qué necesitaba. Le dije: "Salsa, por favor." El le pidió salsa al cocinero, y él respondió que ya no había salsa y que solamente tenían "cumbias". Después todos se pusieron a reír. ¿En serio? Ni una disculpa. Ni una sola persona pareció preocuparse por el hecho de que acababa de tener una experiencia horrible. Todo el trato fue increíblemente poco profesional y despectivo. El lema de su restaurante dice: "Ven por los tacos. Quédate por la experiencia. Regresa porque nada se compara." Pues vine por los tacos, me fui por la experiencia y definitivamente no voy a regresar, porque puedo conseguir mejores tacos en un puesto de tacos sin tener que lidiar con este nivel de incompetencia. Los tacos no son tan buenos como para compensar un servicio al cliente tan malo. Capaciten a sus empleados para escuchar, comunicarse y tratar a los clientes con un mínimo de respeto.

I got home to find two giant pieces of lightly fried fish atop tortillas, and basically a full (almost ripe) avocado sliced in half, not cut up. All the other fixin's were on the side so you assemble everything yourself (cabbage, pico, chipotle sauce). Once everything was assembled, which took a while thanks to the tough avocado, I was hugely let down. Despite the large quantity of food, the quality was just not there. The fish was flaky and not overly fried, but it tasted like the ocean, not in a good way. SO so so much salt, yuck. Also disappointed by the sides. The black beans were quite runny, more liquid than beans, and the rice had a bunch of random veggies in there that took away from the dish. I'm sure there are many good things on the menu, but their fish taco meal just ain't it, sadly.
