Very nice Host. Quick service tacos de asada were good . Salsa were fire! The tacos de cochinito were really good highly recommend to try. The birria tacos were delicious as well. If you are in this side of town give this place a try.

They had their food truck at the Southwest Night Market. My friend said their tacos were good so we went for it! We each got the vampire tacos. Those things are HUGE! It's a cheese toastda shell filled with the meat and cheese topped with another shell with beans and cheese on top. Meat. Meat makes your tacos and food right. Yeah. They got the meat right. I had carne asada. Then I ordered the quesabirria taco. Omg. Favorite! The girl recommended it because it had the dipping sauce. Yup. Yum....I love that everything was filled. Didn't feel like I was missing out on any meat. Got my money worth! They give you radish, cucumber, lemon and salsas automatically. Didn't event have to ask. If the vampire thing isn't your thing, the quesobirria taco was AMAZING! Get that for sure.

Tacos azteca and tacos al estilo Tijuana and a Pacifico was my order. All the way from the ambiance, to the flavorful meat, homemade tortillas and excellent customer service I rate El Asadero Taco Grill a good five stars. I would post a pic, but I was hungry and just went straight for the taco-kill.

This used to be the Lions Den which I never tried but I heard of this from a stranger who was talking about how he always stops here when he is in town. The place is really small but cozy. The staff is friendly, they have a salsa bar and they do offer beer on tap. I ordered 4 tacos 1Cabeza-head 1Lengua-tongue 1Camaron-shrimp 1Pescado-fish The best salsa goes to the Habanero and rating the tacos fish and shrimp are tied for first place, but if I really had to choose I'd give it to Shrimp. The reason for my 4 stars has to do with the fact that the Cabeza and Lengua were not great. They were dry and not cooked to softness. I like those meats to melt in my mouth and not have to chew so much, but the tortillas are fresh and are really good. I wish I would've ordered 2shrimp and 2fish because OMG THEY ARE HANDS DOWN THE BEST IN TOWN!!! I will return to have some more. PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE YOUR PECADO AND CAMARON RECIPE IT'S PERFECT!!!

I loved this place. The TJ style tacos are one of the best in town. Fresh avocado sauce and hand made tortillas. The meat was tender and full of flavor. The blue corn tortilla are also home made with shredded pork so wonderfully delicious. Home made pickled purple onions. The whole experience was great, the owner truly takes pride in his establishment. The ambiance was old school taco shop with bright colors and a flavorful salsa station tucked in the corner. Check it out if you're in the mood for Tijuana style tacos.

INSANE ‍ Absolutely loved that I found them. They're kinda of hidden, but it's a gem! The asadero tacos had my dad talking about them all day, meat was so juicy and Smokey! Sauces are SPICY. Micheladas well priced!!! Tijuana style tacos, with the guac. Just perfection.

This place is always delicious and I always give it 5 stars. However I've noticed that when the owner is not at the shop, the food suffers. It tends to come out warm and it gets cold fast. Since the tortillas are not hot enough they get hard. The consomé my son ordered was warm and by the time he got his burrito, it was cold. I don't know why it's like this maybe it's the new cook, I do see a new face in the kitchen-- so maybe he just needs to acclimate to the routine. Enjoy!
