The Famous Char-Broiled Asada: What Makes Us Legendary
What's our secret? It starts with the steak. We use only the finest USDA Choice Inner Skirt Steak, meticulously seasoned with our family's blend of spices.
Every order is char-broiled over an open flame, searing in the juices and infusing the meat with a smoky flavor you can't get anywhere else. It's not just a taco; it's an experience.
