Why go
The taco truck that made Yelp’s national lists
Taqueria El Asador opened behind a Shell station in 2014 and still works from food trucks with a grill between them. It has made Yelp’s Top 100 taco spots in America more than once, including No. 14 in 2022.
It has 4.8 stars from more than 5,400 Google reviews. Reviewers praise the street tacos, the asada and the fast-moving line, and the outdoor seating is all covered patio.
It’s just north of I-10 on Davis Highway, about 11 minutes from Tanglewood Gardens RV Park, so it’s an easy stop on a travel day if you come in the car.
