A couple weeks ago a couple of my students invited us to this restaurant. The tacos without a good salsa, it's just a pile of meat on a tortilla. For me, any taco can be way better with a good salsa. This place makes good salsa.
The restaurant is very small and they don't have enough space, so is probably best to make your tacos to go.
Always busy. Always a pleasure! Solid lengua. Solid pico. Solid service. I take issue with folks complaining about their prices. Running a restaurant in a large city is expensive, especially post-pandemic. $1 tacos only exist at Taco Bell 🤢 The small family-run shops like Asadero are worth the price. Never change!
Steak burrito was honestly one of the best I've ever had. Chips and salsa are also solid. I found the chicken in a chicken taco to be tasteless.-early 2019
Update...this place has been my fav for years. Recently the burrito size has shrunk and the chips are a whole different recipe and way worse( like out of a bag almost, but could have been a fluke). The steak still has awesome flavor and salsas supurb, but seems to be going a little down hill. Also 3.65 for a side of rice is crazy. 2022
2023- salsa smacks, steak is still tasty, burrito def still not back to levels in 2019, chips are good.
Also it's 2022...cash only is so annoying
Nice cozy diner like atmosphere with tasty tacos and more. The people are welcoming and warm. Tortilla was so good.
What an amazing authentic Mexican restaurant! Tacos are only 3-3.99. Their vegetarian one is the best in the menu. Beautiful service nice dinning area and Mexican vibes.
This place has the best nachos I’ve had in Chicago. They have changed my life. They have fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, cilantro, and they don’t add any yellow nacho “cheese”. I recommend getting it with barbacoa, amazing. The serving is enough for 2 people easily and the nachos do not get super soggy at the end.
We've been going to El Asadero for around 15 years. The food is great! Hands down, best tacos on the northside of Chicago. We still leave a 5star review even though the last order (see pic) DOES NOT make sense. 1 slice of avocado in a taco costs almost $4. The taco itself is $4. A taco with avocado $8? Seriously? Please, owners, whoever is in charge, reconsider these prices. Thank you!
The barbacoa tacos are fire and my go to! Best tacos on the Northside by far.
This is one of my favorite places to get tacos. The steak is juicy and the seasoning is just perfect. All of their food is a perfect 10. The place is small but their food is huge in taste and portions. It will become one of your favorite places to get authentic Mexican food.
We had a burrito and two soft shell cilantro steak tacos. Delicious.The Pico de Gallo is amazing. The girl who took our order was very friendly. It is cash only here but there is an ATM on site. It is very clean and you can dine in or take out. We would return.
