UN DIA SIN INMIGRANTES
WE ARE CLOSED TODAY
In solidarity to our community. La Raza unida nunca será vencida! ✊
This is a reminder, the owners, Efrain & Julia Flores, of your favorite taqueria started out as MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS.
They poured their soul, sweat, blood and tears in this business for a better life.
They risked their lives and left their family behind so their 4 children could have a quality education, a safe home, a loving childhoods and a chance to achieve the American Dream.
They succeeded.
Ask yourself would you have the strength and courage to leave everything behind for a better life? For yourself? Your children?
To our patrons, who have supported this restaurant for generations - GRACIAS! We will be open tomorrow (2/4/25) regular hours.

Since Monday (01/20/25) Taqueria El Asadero (and probably all other latino/ hispanic businesses) has been bombarded with racist weirdos calling in.
Today an individual called saying all sort of ignorant s**t and hung up - so I called him back. 💅
I asked him if I can help him with anything.
All he could say was "f**k you and because I said so". 🙄 🥱
Not knowing who we are and the work we have done for our community. In some sort of way I pity the person- not only for being weird (and probably ugly) but also full of hate and anger. It must suck to live a life like that! Imma pray 🙏 for him.
This is not the first time nor the last. We are no strangers to the racial disparity in this nation. I can tell you STORIES of all the racist encounters my father had to endure when he first came to America, and when he opened Taqueria El Asadero years after. With the current political climate some of these weirdos believe their behavior is very Christian and appropriate. 😒😑
So in response to all the racist - We are
NOT going anywhere. We WILL open
MORE mexican restaurants + businesses.
We will flaunt our heritage, we WILL speak our native tounge and take up space in ALL places - because as Americans (by the grace of God and the AMERICAN CONSTITUTION) we can and you can't stop US!
With this said, I ask my community to help GROW a better society for the future of all generations to come. We can start by understanding these issues, listening, and setting aside our differences.
As well as supporting ALL LATIN@ OWNED BUSINESSES, not just today or this week but EVERY SINGLE DAY because America was build by immigrants.

Happy Mother's Day 🤱🏻💕to all the mama out there but specially my mom.
Everyone thinks my dad 👨🏻is the 🧠 behind Taqueria El Asadero but that man has ADHD 😵💫(me too, thanks dad) and his life (and mines) would be in shambles 😩 if it wasn't for her.
Love you mom. ❤️

IT'S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR!
To remind the French that we whoops their asses in 1862.
Today, a scrappy group of volunteer troops 🙃, under General Ignacio Zaragoza**, did the seemingly impossible - beat the ever-loving s**t out 👊 of Napoleon's Army
A true inspirational event 📅 for wartime because the entire WORLD 🌎 thought France was the strongest military power ever.
But why do the pochos 🤠celebrate today?
Mexican-Americans mines**, roaming the country (during the California Gold Rush - 1848) saw the battle as a win for abolitionist cause during the Civil War.
‼️ LET ME EXPLAIN ‼️
Napoleon had plans to create the first colony in Mexico since our guy Abraham Lincoln 🎩 was busy handling the Civil War and their bulls**t
Napoleon would place a puppet 🧸 government in Mexico City and provide weapons to the Confederacy in exchange for cotton.
So Mexican-Americans understood the existential threat that was pro-slavery; having freed themselves from the suffocating grips of Spanish monarchy🇪🇸.
That is why we celebrate today. We raise our cervezas to the underdogs, to those who fought for justice and freedom, and to those who continue to honor this legacy 🍺.
Come joins us at 🇲🇽Las Flores, to celebrate!
(SIDE NOTE: In the fall of 1848, the first wave of Mexican miners traveled overland to California to join the gold rush.)
Para todo mal MEZCAL
Para todo bien TAMBIEN
Y si no hay remedio LITRO Y MEDIO
For all bad drink MEZCAL
For everything good also
And if there is no remedy drink half a liter.
🇲🇽SALUD 🇲🇽
P.S.
We are BYOB, just bring extra for Edna.
