Early Morning Fire Closes Escambia County Taco Shop Named One Of The Best In USA
May 22, 2018
An Escambia County taco shop named one of the best in the country caught fire early Tuesday morning and is now closed for the time being.
The fire at Taqueria El Asador behind a Shell station on North Davis Highway at I-10 was reported at 3:41 a.m. Firefighters arrived moments later and found smoke coming from the roof. They were able to enter the building and quickly extinguish the fire.
In a social media post, the restaurant stated: “We are sad to inform you we will be CLOSED until further notice, due to a fire caused by an electronic malfunction. We are already working hard to open again soon. We will keep you informed, a look forward to serving you once again! Thanks for understanding.”
About a year ago, Business Insider and Yelp named Taqueria El Asador number four on their list of “The 50 best taco joints in America”.

Ive been around the world and ate different foods from everywhere, and going to eat was truly great. The food was always fresh and very delicious. I truly hope they build it bigger n better it will be a great loss to the community.
The proprietors of this establishment are hard working and resilient offering this area’s ONLY dishes worthy of being called authentic “Mexican” food. Great thanks that no one was injured, and prayers that you will be back in business soon. Hopefully this will encourage a true brick/mortar resolution.
My friend called me when she seen this. Sad. Great food.
