Discover the Flavor Fusion at Asado Wing Taco Company
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Charlottesville, Virginia, at 1327 W Main St, the Asado Wing Taco Company stands as a compelling culinary destination. It represents a dynamic intersection where the smoky, slow-cooked traditions of Argentine asado meet the beloved, handheld convenience of the taco. This establishment is more than just a place to eat; it’s an exploration of flavor profiles meticulously crafted to surprise and satisfy the modern palate. Charlottesville, known for its rich history and burgeoning food scene, provides the perfect backdrop for a concept that dares to blend international techniques with approachable, street-food inspired formats. We invite you to step away from the ordinary and experience a menu built on quality ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and a genuine passion for bold tastes.
The philosophy driving Asado Wing Taco Company centers on elevating familiar formats through unexpected, high-quality execution. We take inspiration from the robust, open-fire grilling techniques central to South American barbecue—the slow rendering of fat, the deep char, and the infusion of smoke—and apply this mastery to components that fit perfectly within a tortilla or alongside a crisp wing. This careful balancing act ensures that every item on our menu offers depth, texture, and a memorable finish. Whether you are a long-time resident of the 22903 area or just passing through, our location on West Main Street is positioned to offer a refreshing culinary detour.
Our commitment extends beyond just the main attractions. We focus on creating an atmosphere where culinary adventure feels accessible and welcoming. The careful sourcing of ingredients, combined with the dedication of our culinary team, results in dishes that speak for themselves. It is this dedication to authentic technique married with creative presentation that sets the Asado Wing Taco Company apart in the competitive landscape of Charlottesville dining.
Key Highlights of the Asado Wing Taco Experience
To truly appreciate what makes Asado Wing Taco Company a must-visit location, consider these defining characteristics:
The Asado Influence: At the core of our identity is the Argentine grilling tradition. This means meats are often marinated simply but cooked slowly over real fire or high heat, allowing the natural flavors to concentrate and develop a signature smoky crust. This technique is applied across our proteins, lending an unparalleled depth to our taco fillings and wing preparations.
Innovative Taco Construction: We reimagine the taco as a canvas for complex flavors. Expect combinations that go beyond the standard fare, incorporating elements like chimichurri variations, pickled vegetables designed to cut through richness, and house-made tortillas that provide the perfect foundation for our slow-cooked meats.
Specialized Wing Offerings: The "Wing" component of our name signifies a dedication to perfectly cooked poultry. Our wings are often finished with glazes or rubs inspired by global street food, providing a satisfying crunch followed by an explosion of flavor that complements the smoky profile of our asado selections.
Commitment to Freshness: Quality ingredients are non-negotiable. From the fresh herbs used in our sauces to the sourcing of our primary proteins, we prioritize freshness to ensure that the vibrant, bold flavors we aim for are delivered consistently in every order placed at our 1327 W Main St location.
These elements combine to create a dining experience that is both familiar in concept and exciting in execution. We believe that great food starts with respect for the process, whether that process involves hours of slow smoking or the precise layering of textures in a single bite.

Best and biggest boneless wings I’ve ever had! I eat Asado weekly because I can’t resist the Monday-Wednesday wing/taco deals. The staff is all lovely and stays attentive even while customers are flooding in, and the wing sauces and tacos are otherworldly

Good taco options
Cauliflower Wings available for vegetarians wanting to try some wings like food ( didnt try in this visit)
Jumbo tacos are really nice size so 2 tacos were more than enough for one person.
Good veggie choices in tacos as well taco with fried potatoes was surprisingly good. Portabelo taco was good as expected too.
Mushroom quesedilla was very balanced in taste and spices.

TL;DR: For the volume they serve, the food is tasty and well-prepared. Check the day of the week for specials such as Taco Tuesday. Wait time is hit or miss sometimes. Can get loud, especially upstairs

I ordered pineapple teriyaki chicken wings. They were perfectly crunchy outside. Although, the chicken was tiny bit dry, i enjoyed the wings overall. They have amazing half off on Mondays. So 5piece wings are less than 5 buck!
Its also great for watching sports, usually tiny bit loud but thats what one would expect from a corner hangout place.

The fries and fried chicken tacos were delicious, crispy, flavorful, and totally satisfying!
However, the beef quesadilla was a letdown. It way too oily and had a strong meat smell that made it unappetizing.

Stopped in here twice for lunch. I had tacos my first visit, on taco Tuesday nonetheless, and they were excellent. The chicken and double smoked bacon taco was both unique and tasty. In fact, so good I ordered one, then ordered a second when I was done. Also AMAZING value on Tuesdays! Second visit was wing Wednesday. The wings are smoked, which gives them unique depth of flavor. I had BBQ and the honey siracha, both of which were excellent. Again, AMAZING value on Wednesdays for wings! I would definitely recommend Asado!

Traveling this week and I needed dinner. A quick search of the area led me here. It just happened to be Tuesday so tacos were half off and beer was on sale. They have other daily specials too. Equally good.
That explains why the place was so busy. I got a spot at the bar and had a pleasant chat with the bartender who suggested two tacos, the chicken and shrimp. They did not disappoint.
The beer was cold, the food was delivered quickly, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was great.
I will for sure stop in again
