"The stellar Mexicali-style taco operation still serves superlative grilled carne asada and a range of sturdy guisados, built on some of the very best flour tortillas in town."
"A carne asada taco on a flour tortilla, at once juicy, salty, and laced with smoky char, is a must-try, especially when ordered Chikali style with beans and guacamole."
"Crispy vampiros are a lovely change of pace and a good match for silkier meats like barbacoa or carne desebrada, providing a thoroughly satisfying textural juxtaposition."
"A guisado sampler remains a shrewd choice: Pick half of the dozen or so stews and build your own tacos with the included tortillas."
Asadero Chikali has successfully transitioned from a food truck in East Los Angeles to a permanent location in Inglewood without losing its culinary spark. The restaurant continues to serve outstanding Mexicali-style tacos, particularly the carne asada on flour tortillas, which remains juicy and flavorful. Other menu highlights include crispy vampiros and a guisado sampler, allowing customers to create their own tacos. The East Los Angeles stand still operates for breakfast and lunch, catering to those who prefer a more casual dining experience.
