Las Ahumaderas at 1011 Broadway in Chula Vista is a Latino-owned taqueria modeled after the legendary taco alley on Avenida Guillermo Prieto in Tijuana's La Cacho neighborhood, where five to six stands have been grilling meat nonstop since 1960. The Chula Vista outpost brings that same smoke-forward, grill-centric format to a food-court-style interior where guests can sit at a kitchen counter and watch carne asada and adobada come straight off the flame — a format that feeds the broader Broadway corridor anchored by Chula Vista Bayside Park to the south. The meat program spans carne asada, adobada, birria, suadero, cabeza, lengua, tripa, and pollo, with each protein available as a taco, quesataco, mulita, tostada, vampiro, torta, or burrito. Papa asadas — loaded baked potatoes topped with grilled meats, cheese, and salsa — and elotes round out the antojito side of the menu alongside crepes and a full bar program. The taqueria's late-night format and live-music programming overlap with the South Bay's broader Mexican food-and-culture scene, which also includes the handmade tortas and deli preparations at Tlaloc Deli farther up Broadway. The vampiro build presses a flour tortilla onto the flat-top until it crisps, then layers grilled meat, melted cheese, guacamole, and salsa onto the crackled shell — a Tijuana street-taco format the Rodriguez family traces to their uncle's original stand in La Cacho.
