El Asadero
El Asadero is a meat-focused taquería on North Ventura Avenue in Ventura, California, known for inexpensive tacos on homemade tortillas with habanero salsa.
Overview
El Asadero is located at 920 North Ventura Avenue. In a 2022 survey of Ventura County taco spots for Edible Ojai & Ventura County, writer Avery Lieb found $2 beef tacos on homemade tortillas served with a habanero salsa, and noted that the shop does not offer fish or vegetarian fillings. She also mentioned the games and candy machine that make it a family stop.
The Eighty Flavors guide to Ventura Avenue lists it (as Al Asadero) as an honorable mention for birria, al pastor and carne asada.
Context
An asadero is a grill house, and the name signals a focus on grilled and roasted meats rather than seafood. El Asadero is one of several taquerías on Ventura Avenue that local guides return to. Sources do not give its founding date or owners.
