Charcoal tacos & the famous carne asada stuffed-chile taco · Mexicali

Asadero Tres Pablos is one of the most beloved charcoal taquerías in Mexicali, a family business that opened its doors in 2005 and over the years has become a must-stop for anyone looking for real tacos in the late afternoon or the early morning hours. Its strength is charcoal-grilled carne asada —juicy and well seasoned, chopped on the board and served with freshly made tortillas, house salsas and all the toppings that go with it— hence its slogan "Tacos go with everything!" Beyond the asada, they offer a wide menu of tacos al pastor, suadero, cabeza, tripe and Spanish chorizo, and they are especially famous for their carne asada stuffed-chile taco, an uncommon creation well worth trying. The menu is rounded out with quesadillas, queso fundido, burros, stuffed potatoes, tortas and aguas frescas (the strawberry one is among the most ordered). The spot on Calzada de las Américas is spacious and clean, with plenty of seating, and although it tends to fill up at night —especially on weekends— service is fast. It is a late-night place: it does not open on Mondays and on weekdays starts in the afternoon to close in the early morning hours.
Reference prices: $$120-260 per person. May vary depending on what you order and the season.
A place highly recommended by locals for eating tacos. Prices are reasonable, but at peak hours you might not find an available table. Highly recommended when you visit Mexicali.
