Really upsetting for it being my first time. I have to give it to them tho meat and tortillas A+ . Had two tacos to eat there and I mean you can't have a taco with out onion so I asked the young lady if they had and she said no. So I ended up just having them like that. And when I'm leaving they have one whole bucket . read more

Asadero has a streamlined setup by the corner of Vine and Melrose. They are drawing from a mix of Hermosillo, CDMX, and Sonoran styles, to create something special. Place your order, take your ticket to the grill, and be prepared for some of the best beef tacos. Gaonera: The black Angus ribeye steak is thinly sliced and simply seasoned with salt. The taquero cooks it to order on a small mesquite charcoal grill to develop the wondrous smoke flavor. He also throws a soft, supple, Sonoran, flour tortilla on the grill for a hot minute or so. Most impressive of all, the singular slice of steak is flat and as big as the tortilla. It's cooked to medium and you really enjoy the beefy flavor, great marbling, and tender smoky meat. Top it with just some onions and the salsa cruda. Plus, the salsa bar makes me happy here with one of the fieriest green salsas around, which complements the meat well. Parking: You might as well park in the Pavilion's lot. read more

Asadero - Gaonera (Ribeye) Taco - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The line took about 35 mins. Very friendly staff and I enjoyed hanging out in line with everyone. It makes it a little more social. Nice parking lot, tail gate vibe. The tacos were good. I had their signature rib eye and their chicken taco. I thought they tasted good. Game changer? No. Good tasting tacos, yes. Now, did I come down with food poisoning all day the next day? Yes I did. It was not pleasant. Can I say 100% it was these tacos. No. For lunch that day, I had a bowl at Tocaya. The billions of times I've eaten at Tocaya have I ever gotten food poisoning? Nope. If I had to wager I'd put my money on those rib eye tacos not being cooked long enough or some cross contamination. I don't know what the culprit is but that's just the chance you take sometimes. Just watch your rib eyes when they're cooking them. It won't hurt to ask them to fire them a little longer. Will I be back? Probably not and not because of the possible food poisoning. I just thought the tacos were just good. Nothing that I need to try again. read more

The line is long for a reason. Some of the best quality meat I have had in street tacos. I was surprised to like the carne asada and the flank steak better than the signature ribeye taco, but all three were delicious. Ordered the asada quesadilla (I'd recommend just getting a regular taco) as well as the flank steak taco (pictured) and the ribeye taco (pictured) Got in line at 4:59pm and got to the front at around 5:25pm. read more

I'm gonna keep it simple. BEST STREET TACO! Speaking specifically only on their Ribeye Taco on Flour Tortilla. Go find out for yourself why!!!! Anything else on their menu I don't know. There will be a line, sorry. Parking is accessible, Cards are accepted. Service was great and 1 table is available but most ppl take it to their car. Ambiance was magical just like their assortment of Salsas and condiments. read more

The ribeye taco is one of their specialties that they grill over charcoal but it's $7.50 for a taco. The ribeye meat was not anything extraordinary but I liked the texture of the tortilla because it was slightly chewy. Anyways at this price point I needed the taco to blow my mind and unfortunately I've had better tacos with the smoky flavor for way cheaper in Austin TX (Taqueria de Diez). However, I will say the carne asada ($3) is actually phenomenal and worth coming for. They use blue corn tortillas which adds more complexity to the flavor and the asada is very juicy. Toppings selection is very good, pickled onion is a must and the chili oil they have surprisingly works! There is a line here so be prepared to wait. They do need to get rid of the tip option, a bit outrageous to ask for 18-25% tip at a street stand with no sit down area or much overhead cost compared to brick and mortar. read more

Run dont walk to this spot. Amazing and great quality tacos. Certified meats aside the flavor is our of this world. The little onion chili that comes with the gaonera is mouth watering. They went from serving under 100 people a day to over 300/400. Please ba patient with them as they are still working on the sudden increase in traffic but this spot is freaking amazing. Owner is sooooo nice and portions are big. Highly recommend! read more

I literally won't go anywhere else after discovering their RIB EYE tacos!! are you freaking kidding me?! whoever is the boss man here, please give yourself a round of applause. Their offerings of sides and sauces are INCREDIBLE. Service with the men today were so thoughtful!! I believe we were speaking to the owner, very chill gentleman. THEY ARE FIRE!!!!

Best taco I have had in this town, period. The watermelon aqua fresco is also off the charts. Worth the line and the wait!

Ribeye taco was one of the best tacos ive ever had. the meat was quality, tasty and perfectly cooked. their salsas are great. the al pastor was also delicious. i can't wait to go back read more

You would think with time things would change but it's still a very rough operation. The portions relative to its price along with quality doesn't justify its value. Service still needs improvement as well. read more

I don't often leave Yelp reviews, but I felt it was important to share my experience given the number of reviews this taco stand received had been before Infatuation LA's recent review. On Sunday, June 7th, I went after seeing the recommendation from Infatuation. I expected a long line because of the hype, but the experience was extremely disorganized from start to finish. The cashier was only taking a maximum of four orders at a time and would not take any additional orders until those were fully completed. He also asked customers to calculate their own totals because he said he could not do the math. At one point, while we were still waiting, he left the line unattended to go grocery shopping, which was honestly unbelievable. By the time we got to order, nearly three hours had passed. Only then were we told that credit cards were not accepted and that it was cash or Zelle only, even though their menu explicitly showed credit cards and Square as payment options. Thankfully, a friend had Zelle and was able to cover our group. After paying, our order took about another 15 minutes. What made the situation even more frustrating was that they did not tell us they were out of onions, cilantro, and salsa until after we had already paid. Other customers were also told only after waiting for hours that their meat of choice was unavailable. That should have been communicated to people in line so they could decide whether it was still worth waiting. The lack of preparation was also clear. They were cutting meats, vegetables, and other ingredients on the spot instead of having basic prep done ahead of time, which made the process even slower. Despite all of this, I still tried to give them some grace because I understand they may be dealing with new attention after the guide's review. However, the next morning I woke up with what appeared to be food poisoning, which I have never experienced from a taco stand before. That ultimately solidified my decision not to return. I cannot in good faith recommend this taco stand. Los Angeles has too many incredible taco options to justify a three-hour wait, poor communication, disorganization, missing ingredients, and a bad experience afterward. read more

I can't think of one thing these guys can improve on. All the taqueros are cool, the ingredients are high quality, they keep things clean, and the prices are good. I haven't anything but the carne asada because it's that good. read more

Bomb afffffff. Wait time was less than 10 minutes. They have more staff to accommodate the demand and long lines. The cachetada, Al pastor, & Rib Eye were my personal favorites. Watermelon agua fresca was fireeeee. 10/10 recommend. I went when the crow was small. I know recently wait times have been long but trust me it's sooooo worth it. read more

The BEST tacos in LA and the kindest owners. I normally get burritos because I'm not a fan of corn tortillas, but the homemade blue corn & flour tortillas are both 10/10. their flank & al pastor tacos are AMAZING. Both guys working there were so kind and helpful- I couldn't believe there wasn't a line. read more

Asadero - Al pastor taco and flank steak on a blue corn tortilla - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

There are so many taco stands in LA, all of which are impressive, but few, if any, are serving such high-quality meat. I tried the rib-eye, wagyu chuck, and al pastor tacos, all of which were incredible. What I enjoyed the most is how the ribeye taco still maintains its "steak" texture and flavor. It's cut not too thin, where you can't really taste the beef, nor too thick, where the taco bite becomes too chewy. With the wagyu, it had the signature wagyu richness but without being overly heavy. Small details, ingredients (shoutout the hand made tortillas!!), and that smoky mesquite flavor make Asadero elite. This place is a must-try, and I can't wait to come back and see what the team has in store. read more

Top tier taco spot, probably the best asada I've had at a taco stand. All their salsas are delicious as well. Everything is high quality here. The workers are also super friendly and are happy to answer any questions you have. read more

Incredible food, but please update the hours/location because it's incredibly frustrating when I drive here and the truck isn't even around (which has been the case every day this week) read more

Asadero brings a real taste of Sonora, Mexico to Hollywood . This is no ordinary taco stand. These folks hail from the city of Hermosillo in Sonora, which it its own food destination for those who know. The tortillas (including the rarity of blue corn and hard to find thin Sonoran harina) and the wide selection of meats and condiments are a real cut above. Five stars. read more

Some of the best tacos I've ever had in LA! Amazing ribeye tacos and the other meats also are great. Be prepared to wait in line as the demand for this stand has gone up a lot read more

It would be quicker to just drive to Mexico!!!!!!seriously. If any of the owners whoever on Earth is running this nonsense reach out cuz i want a refund. Yea the food is fine; just meh. It is just mexican food there is literally nothing special. When we finally made it to the front they were out of all the sauces and things you put on the tacos. idiots. When i tried to pay with card like it says they accept he said only zelle or cash like what make an ancient or put that somewhere because your sign is lying. idiots. The guy at the front takes an order every 15 minutes then a break. No one knows what they're doing here obviously so just don't come. The ambiance is terrible there's homeless people banging on bus doors, road rage constantly and it's just in a parking lot of a grocery store on the nasty sidewalk with 0 seating. Like i was amazed when i bit in because it was so standard and normal but I waited in a line for 2 hours 22 minutes (i used a stopwatch because my friend wanted to go here so bad and i just stood in line. I would highly highly recommend bringing a chair. The service is absolutely terrible and these idiots have no idea how to run a business efficiently!!!!!. They take the next person in lines order, do that order then restart the process instead of cooking consistently and for the giant crowd outside. It's like they take one person as a sit down customer then do a whole thing for that one person and restart with the next. Literally hours and hours for mediocre food. Absolutely avoid this nightmare if you can there is literally no reason absolutely no reason to come here or wait or be honestly disrespected by the sloths behind the counter. It got so unbearable that the women behind me had to pour vodka from her car into her soda just to stay in line. People literally had to turn to alcohol due to this places unprofessionality. I wish I could give 0 stars. This place ruined my day and subsequent night lol. I just can't stress enough how inefficient and mediocre it is!! I think some tik tok made it famous and it did not show out. It's just so saddening to see a taco stand that had a line and clear potential to make money but they just piss it away and run around like chickens with no head. I wouldn't call this place a complete failure (DEFO AVOID) but they do in fact suck. They suck at their job and the suck at serving customers. It is borderline shameful. read more

I've been coming to this taco spot consistently for months now, and it never disappoints. The food is always amazing--fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The standout for me is the flank steak... easily some of the best I've had. Perfectly cooked, super tender, and packed with flavor every single time. You can tell this guy takes pride in what he does. Portions are solid, prices are fair, and the quality is consistent, which is why I keep coming back. read more

Don't sleep on this place! WOOW, I tried the carne asada tacos. First, they use prime meat. It was soft and had a little pieces of fat the spicy red sauce had a smoky taste to it and they had fresh blue tortillas. Also, the owner was very kind! I am very picky with my food and hand down, this is one of the best tacos I have ever tried. Amazing!!! read more

Best blue corn tortillas outside of Mexico! The asada mulita just melts in your mouth... the Oaxacan cheese is perfection. Thank you to the cashier at Pavilions for recommending! So delicious! Don't forget to try the homemade salsa! read more

On a whim, I decided to try Asadero out. Something about their setup gave me the vibes that this place was different than other street taco spots. And it was! As I stepped closer, I saw they made their tortillas from scratch. Not only that, the tortillas were blue corn! What a treat with the nuanced flavor. I wanted to try all their meat selections, but since it was late, they were out of the chicken and chorizo, so I just sampled the rest. Combine that homemade tortilla, with the quality grilled meats, and a bit from their salsa and toppings bar, and I got myself some delicious tacos. The guys running the spot said they used to cater mostly for the studios, but that business was slow on that end. Glad I followed my whim! I'll be back to try the other meats! read more

1000/10 really yummy! Friendly staff! Did a taste taste with stand across from them. The meat here was really flavorful and the blue corn tortillas are very good. New go to read more

I've gone to the taco stand across for years, since they have some of the best Al pastor in the city. Gave Asadero a try, after I could smell the carne asada cooking on the open-flame BBQ. After a decade in LA, I can confidently say I just had the taco (technically it was a mulita) that changed my life. The blue corn tortillas, quality of the meat, and refried black beans were quite possibly Michelin-level good. Tacos Guelaguetza will always hold a place in my heart but damn Asadero is something spectacular. The staff is also incredibly kind and generous. read more

Best tacos in hwood period. Stupendous flavor clean follows health codes oh ya the hochata fire also.
