    When you see a taco stand that has a pretty large crowd of people it's generally pretty good, Asadero El Zarpazo was pretty good, if you're looking for Carne Asada, Adobada/Al Pastor this is a spot worth trying. Ordered some Tacos ToGo....... https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-zarpazo-ensenada?select=tDgat33jRWhkUWtvXX8tuA Adobada https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-zarpazo-ensenada?select=0wu-_SvF2GPgnFnA1gIqQw Nicely carved right off the trompo, the adobada had good flavor, no pina, wrapped up in some nice house made corn tortillas. 4-Stars Carne Asada https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-zarpazo-ensenada?select=_VSJHGyfAfywwnjYmMHaGQ Lean and nicely grilled with good flavor, liked that they added frijoles. 4-Stars https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-zarpazo-ensenada?select=BwGheZ0MUK-9cZdteDkaPQ https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-zarpazo-ensenada?select=OMTkSNe2ie6G-V7zAkneFA https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/el-zarpazo-ensenada?select=ExwB0wWF7TYO4zIgBbqTLA

    This place is one of my favorites! Meat is great and my kids love it! Everything taste fresh and the meat does not have nerves which is what drives me crazy. So delicious only place in Ensenada we at taco at.

    My family is from Ensenada and we would always go to this taco place close to my grandmas house but they wanted these tacos this time. It was really good. The only problem was the service. The workers attitudes were not nice. They made faces if you asked for tacos or when they give them an order. It didn't look like a great working environment and made me feel uncomfortable if I wanted something else. But the tacos are good!

    Good tasting tacos! The tortillas are hand made and super fresh. The al pastor is getting trimmed right from the spit. Super good. Also had what they call a vampiro. A tostada with melted cheese and any type of meat you want with beans on top. Super good! I went to the Oxxo that was a block away and bought me 4 caguamas and they went great with my tacos. The guacamole on top of your tacos is bomb dot com.

    Everytime I come to Ensenada, I always come to this place for their asada or pastor tacos, and always have them pack up extras to go, to take back to the states.

    I've been coming to La Chispa for about 15 years and it'd been here a LONG time before my first…read moretrip. There's one simple reason for this.... it's flipping awesome and it's awesome EVERY time I come in. They offer Asada only but several different ways. Tacos, quesotacos, burritos and quesadillas. All big, all great! I make it a point to eat here every time I go to Ensenada and even if I'm just passing through I'll swing in on my way. First off it's been the same family the entire time I've been coming down which is always a good thing. The food is always fantastic and comes quickly even when they're slammed (which is almost every day, all day) . All the food comes stuffed with plenty of the carne asada that makes them famous and what you add is up to you.. they'll throw on beans and cheese after that it's all up to you. There are two or three salsas and some avocado sauce but I wouldn't actually call it guacamole. There are onions, pickled onions, cilantro limes, radishes and it's all freshly sliced and ready to go. They have a variety of Coke products in cans and bottles for your pairing pleasure but sadly no beer or wine. When we roll in we belly up to the taco bar and they're always happy to see us (again). then the process begins.... Order, eat, repeat! When we've reached Food Coma we ask for the bill and gladly pay... tip... and go! Gots to be on your way.. someone wants that stool! Hands down the best Asadero in Ensenada. Never have I had a hoof or knuckle in my food and it's consistently fantastic! It's in kind of an odd spot but when you find it.. it's worth it! They also do to go orders and package up all the fixins for you and the yummy goodness goes with you!

    My girlfriend was craving carne asada tacos so we ended up here. The tacos were ok. I wouldn't go…read moreout of my way for this spot again.
