Asadero Chikali
Included In
While most of the city is either sleeping in or suffering through some 7am workout class they pretend to enjoy, Asadero Chikali is busy preparing simmering batches of soul-warming stews for breakfast tacos. This East LA food truck serves spectacular Mexicali-style tacos de guisado that will easily be the highlight of your day, served on tender handmade flour tortillas and filled with things like shredded beef with roasted potatoes, chicharron cooked in tangy salsa, and spicy chorizo with scrambled eggs. Beyond breakfast, Asadero Chikali also uses those delicious tortillas for classic Norteño carne asada tacos, which come seasoned with a nice charcoal flavor from the grill. Make sure to grab one of their cheesy vampiros, too: a corn tortilla toasted until crisp and browned, then piled high with handfuls of melty cheese and grilled asada on top.
