5-18-2025 The atmosphere has that authentic Mexican vibe. Had the hibiscus drink (the red one), and also the bottled Coca-Cola. Very good. The cabeza taco (i split into 2) was delicious but also very oily. The carne asada plate was ok. The meat was the last of pan , crispy well done, but the decent pieces were very tasty. Rice was bland, the refried beans were good. The red salsa was not spicy. The jalapenos tornadoes (grilled ) were not spicy either. Gonna try again but earlier, I did go around 8:30 pm

I’m so glad I tried El Asadero. This is a small place that is doing Mexican food right. They offer combos with rice and beans which are both great. Burritos, tacos, chimichangas, tortas are some of the choices and everything is top notch Mexican cuisine. The salsa verde and roja are excellent. They offer breakfast burritos which I plan on trying in the morning, and even horchata.

Fantastic! Fresh cooked to order food that is flavorful and delicious. Meat is grilled outside on a grill and the smell is amazing. Definitely a high recommendation for delicious tacos!

Looking for great street tacos then come here! Cooked to order and so yummy. Definitely will be coming back. I loved the Al pastor and chicken tacos. The horchata was fantastic too, tasted like it had a slight vanilla flavor or something.

Late night drive thru, was super hungry. Ordered the 3 taco plate with rice and beans and the carne asada fries. The FRIES were amazing, the tacos were good, a little small but you have rice and beans and salad on the side. The service was quick and the guys were so nice. I would come here again and try the carne asada burrito.

They are consistent and can always count on them for a quick delicious meal. My personal favorites are the carne asada taco and the carne asada fries. I’ve tried so many places over the years and always find myself always coming back here. Be sure to grab some of their green sauce!

I checked this place out on a whim, and I'm glad that I did. The Pastor and Carne Asada tacos are well seasoned, and the diced cilantro/onion topping really balanced the flavors of the taco. The red and green salsas provide that extra acidity if you're feeling spicy. Although the size is small, the flavor more than makes up for it. Definitely worth checking out if you're near Downtown Mesa.
