Al Pastor Pork Tacos
Authentic al pastor pork tacos in Winnipeg, marinated in chiles and served on fresh handmade tortillas at La Taqueria on Ness Ave.
Carne asada is the benchmark taco: seasoned beef grilled hot and fast, chopped, and folded into a fresh tortilla with onion, cilantro and lime. No cheese, no sauce hiding the meat — just the smoky, beefy flavour that tells you a taqueria knows what it is doing.
Asada is judged on two things: the sear and the tortilla. We grill the beef over high heat so the outside caramelises while the inside stays juicy, then chop it and spoon it straight onto a tortilla pressed to order. That short journey from grill to plate is why the taco arrives hot, fragrant and still crackling at the edges.
Toppings stay traditional — diced white onion, chopped cilantro and a wedge of lime — because that is how asada is eaten in Mexico. Add one of our house salsas if you want heat, order two or three for a full plate, or make it part of Cuatro Amigos so you can compare it against al pastor and carnitas in one sitting.
Fresh tortillas and honest technique. Our tortillas are made in our own kitchen rather than bought pre-packed, the beef is seasoned and grilled to order, and the salsas are made from scratch daily. It is the combination Winnipeg guests point to when they call us the best taco shop in the city.

A carne asada taco is grilled, seasoned beef served on a soft tortilla with onion, cilantro and lime. It is the classic Mexican street taco, and at our Winnipeg taqueria the beef is grilled to order rather than held warm.
The beef itself is seasoned but mild, so the tacos suit most palates. Our house salsas are served on the side so you can decide how much heat to add.
La Taqueria Mexican Street Tacos is at 1863 Ness Ave Unit B, minutes from St. James, Silver Heights, Deer Lodge and Crestview. Guests regularly tell us our asada is the closest thing to a Mexico City street corner in the city.
