Typical spices used on meat

I had this absolutely amazing carne asada dish in Trujillo - it was grilled beef with lime and spices. I'm trying to figure out what the spices are. I believe these are spices are typical in Honduran (and Latin American) cuisine but I can't seem to Google this info.

I actually purchased this spice mix at a supermarket in Trujillo but it's in a clear plastic bag, there's no label.

I know for sure there's cumin and probably salt.

Does anyone know if there are any other spices used?

Tonight I made tenderloin steak with that spice and freshly squeezed lime juice....it was absolutely delicious. I need to find out what the spices in this mix are because the spice mix won't last me too long!

If you are talking about the red spice, you can buy Recado in Hispanic markets in the US.

It's brown and it's mixture of spices - I want to know what they are. I know cumin is the main one but I think there's one or two more that are typically used.

Hi, I was going through all the threads looking for something completely different when I say yours.

I got here with me "especias" (that's what we call them) and I looked for the mixture, here it is:
Pepper, Cumin, bay leaf (hoja de laurel), onion (salt), garlic (salt), sugar and salt. i don't know the proportions but you can still try!

Ah! something else: Sometimes this special taste is not only from our spices but from Naranja Agria, which helps tender the meat, other people use pineapple juice or husk – since I don't cook, I don't exactly know how they use it. Still, I hope I helped you a bit!

Have fun mixing them! I love that you loved our spices!

Goya Sazón is another different spice mixture used more in the Spanish Caribbean. Great for marinating meats; similar but different and one of my favorites.

Thanks Mia Hint, that's sounds like it!
