Tacos El Asador in Toronto

Amazing place, economic for the pocket. Friendly people and very good service. They have an amazing menu specially for those who like to have little spicy and with too many other flavors. They serve variety of drinks and cocktails too. They have vegetarian in their menu which was bonus for me.

Great menu and food. Had tamales, pupusas and beef soft tacos on my first visit. Everything was tasty and on point.

Best birria tacos. It took me back to mexico.Thanks so much

High quality for a great price. Place is cash only by the way. Nice place to meet for drinks before a night on the town. Great choices for vegetarians also!!

A small locale but has always been a wonderful place to visit over the last ten years. The nachos are top notch and always are loaded with flavour. They are the standard corn nachos and not flour ones. The tacos are also delicious and especially the goat. The beef burrito as well is hearty and filling and this place is an amazing place to eat at.

Food is really delicious, spices on point and I love that the staff treat every customers like kings & queens! Will definitely come back for more!

Friendly service. Cash only. Four stars since the food was good but not amazing.

Food is nice. I do Love to try new food. But Server was little bit rude, may be because of my pronunciation was wrong for name of the dishes. If she thinks that i am not capable of dine there just because of I can not pronounce their dish name, by all means, I won't visit again. These 3 stars are only because of food.

Love this place for the cripsy tacos!This Salvadorian taco joint somehow became more endearing as it has evolved from the tiny family-run hole in the wall it used to be across the street. The bright yellow walls and cultural trinkets that line them have made this more than the eat & run it once was. If you haven’t tried this place yet, I highly recommend starting with the crispy tacos - the one dish I think sets this place apart from most. The beef tacos are crispy all the way through while the chicken tacos are crispy at the ends but deliciously soft in the middle. But honestly, everything is pretty great!

Delicious authentic tacos. Cash only! The pulled pork and fish tacos are delicious and the sauces they have on the tables are amazing. Love this place, very reasonabley priced as well, less than 4$ per a taco. My friend got the chicken soup as well mighty tasty.

Al pastor tacos and tongue tacos were really good. The margarita hit the spot on a warm day. Would definitely be back.

Good Mexican food with a variety of options, however they only accept cash payment

Worst Veggie Burrito in the city. Just go anywhere else.

If I can rate this zero, I will!! First the guy who’s taking order is very rude. I just want to get my receipt and he let me wait after I paid with CASH ONLY. My bill was 80 plus for only a few burritos and two tacos. NOT WORTH IT. It does not taste that good too much rice and very tiny meat. I thought this was authentic but it’s not the greatest. Would not recommend. What a rip off. Don’t go to this place. It does not taste very decent.

Ordered takeout, food was cold, tortillas were wet and soggy, meat was terribly seasoned. Would not recommend, go to Seven Lives

The food is delicious here and the drinks... Oh do they ever remind me of Mexico. The fish tacos were so tasty and full of flavor! But you have to try their mojitos and margaritas, they do not disappoint. Staff is friendly, restaurant is clean and they also do take out. Definitely will be returning.

Got covid 19 priced. On the menu the price of there burrito's was $8.75, when i picked up I was charged $12.50. I won't be going back.

One of the best restaurants in the city hands-down. Incredible authentic El Salvadoran food, upbeat tunes, sports on tv, chill decor, awesome staff, reasonable prices... Can't ask for much more this place is amazing.

Fantastic place to eat tacos in TORONTO! Rated to be best cheap eats since 2016. This place has a lot of character! Really friendly staff is always at hand to help and serve you! Everything we tried on the menu was fantastic! Real traditional taste! Worth the drive to toronto to enjoy a meal at this restaurant! A must try if you come to visit or even if you live outside the city center!

The fish was dry and tasted old.

Food Is good. Portions are small/medium but are reasonable for the price you pay. Beer is a bit expensive but that’s fine. The waiter however, was very slow. We came on a Sunday. There were Maybe 4-5 tables that had people st them and after 10 minuets of waiting I had to two go to the cashier to ask for my order. When I wanted to order more food, I looked at the waiter in the eyes twice with my body turned all the way back and still didn’t get a clue. He seemed to be talking with another table casually. He looked like he was just talking about while I was at my table ready to order. Good food though. Service should improve. It’s really a shame because I really enjoyed the place and would like to come back. I just want to be serviced in a reasonable amount of time and feel like I matter as a customer.

i’ve been coming here for so long and they are amazing every single time. they have great service, food is amazing, and the owners are absolutely amazing.

Crispy Shrimp Tacos are some of my favourite in Toronto. Quesadilla and Pupusa are just ok. Happy to see new location with more space.

This Place would never survive in N.YWas living with my family in Brooklyn eating some great Mexican, and I had a craving for a burrito when I came back to Toronto needless to say the food was brutal. a veggie burrito at this place was re fried beans with shredded ice berg lettuce absolutely abysmal. Coming from N.Y where they had home made salas. A bar with free pickled vegetables and the portions were good. Where as here is was small bland and not worth the money. Pretty much just stay away from Mexican food when I’m in Canada, as I have been to several places and they all fail in comparison.

Great prices, amazing staff, amazing food. Best tacos in town. Fight me. Goat soup and goat tacos (birria) to die for. It's cash only though, so be ready for that.

Ordered with Uber eats and it was a disaster. Ordered 3 tacos (chicken, chorizo, shrimp)...but got 3 white fish tacos that just had a bunch of guacamole on them and that's it. I also ordered a chicken taco salad...which was almost entirely rice with beans, a tiny bit of chicken (about 1/3 of what was in one taco) and almost zero lettuce. Not even close to anything resembling a salad. They did manage to let one small cube of a tomato slip by. I'm pretty sure a soft taco at Taco Bell has 10 times more tomatoes and lettuce than this salad does.Then the Uber eats delivery took an hour and a half. For some reason they added someone else's order ahead/attached to ours, without our knowledge or any option. The whole order was wrong and very late. Absolute trash.

Ordered it online- No toppings, no flavour, it wasnt edible at all.

Ordered takeout on doordash. Food arrived fresh and hot. Tacos were amazing as was the quesada and Burrito. Good value for money as well, cheaper than Chipotle and so much better.

You can make the vegetarian tacos into vegan tacos by asking for no dairy/milk/cheese! They will also give you extra limes if you ask.

I‘m Mexican and one of the things I like to do on my free time is to visit Mexican restaurants and try their food. I have decided to buy enchiladas, carnitas tacos and pastor tacos.-The enchiladas have a flavor of 8/10, image of 7/10 and a quality / price of 9/10.-The tacos of pastor have a flavor 7/10, imagen 10/10 and a quality / price of 9/10.-The tacos of carnitas have a flavor 9/10, image of 10/10 and a quality / price of 9/10.So, I recommend this place because I have eaten many more that do not have the almost perfect combination that this place has.

I love there crispy vegetarian 🌮 👌🏻 soft taco is good though

Great tacos, very fresh. The shrimp tacos and the chorizo burrito are my favourite.

Place isnt bad. Had a beef tongue taco-- recommend and one of their soups. I think the soup I had had little chunks of lamb. Flavors were delicious.

My partner said this place is great based on his experience some 8-10 years ago, so decided to order takeout while we were next door getting groceries. The shop is run by some very nice folks, but after we (kinda) finished our meal (threw out a bunch), our reaction was "can't believe we wasted our weekly takeout treat on this!" It confounds me how this restaurant is surviving given the competition in the city. The quality of food is below average, blend and disappointing. For the price we paid, neither the quality nor the portion were justified. I barely leave reviews, only do so if it's exceptionally good or bad, it is the later this time unfortunately.

Ordered the al pastor tacos. They were OK. Not the best, but not the worst. Perhaps other items on the menu would have been better. I'd like to try the crispy tacos next time.I hadn't been here since it used to be more of a take out joint with limited seating. Now, it is a restaurant with full table service.

Ordered takeout on doordash. Food arrived fresh and hot.

My husband adores this place, and so do I. Very lively restaurant on a Saturday night. The waiters/waitresses were so helpful and accommodating. My husband is a big fan of their enchiladas.

What a GEM. Serving up legendary tacos for as long as I have lived in Toronto. Don't make the mistake of not visiting this place. One of if not the best Taco houses Toronto has to offer.

Good Mexican food! Service is good. Pick your choices as samples not courses. I had the shrimp soft tacos and it was great. Ordered 4 if them. Place is packed!

Been going here for 20+ years and have introduced countless friends and family to the amazing food here. I have NEVER had a bad experience, the food always tastes fantastic and is portioned generously, and SMOKEY IS THE BEST. Best maitre'd and best human. 10/5 stars if I could!

Cozy neighborhood place with good food.

Been here twice and left satisfied both times. Prices are reasonable and the tacos were tasty. Our server was also super friendly was cracking jokes the whole time. Will return!

Venue and decor was really nice. Drinks were great, I got a margarita and my boyfriend got a Latin beer. I've had better and cheaper tacos and the meat was kind of dry which is why I'm docking off 1 star.

reasonably priced, Food was good but nothing really stood out enough for me to come back (unless I’m already in the area). I had the chicken and al pastor taco and did not enjoy either of them and would not recommend those however the guacamole and enchiladas with red and green sauce were good. We had to wait a long time for the bill.

This place made me so happy. It has the best Salvadoran/Mexican food that I have had outside of Mexican locals joints. I everything I tried surpassed my expectations! (Cash only)

I had their authentic fish tacos and chicken tostadas. It was delicious and I love it.

Easily the best Mexican / Salvadoran food you'll find in Toronto for such a great price! The staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is fun and welcoming. The food is delicious, fresh, and filling!

Genuine delicious tacos is the name of the game here! Fast and friendly staff that are attentive and not too talkative. You can be in and out of the place (while eating there!!!) In under 20 minutes.The Guacamole is a must try. Be sure to bring bills as its cash only!

Ordered here today for the first time. The food tasted horrible. I don’t recommend.

I had the opportunity to meet the owner named “Smokey” thru a friend who knows him. Smokey is the man to give a complimentary shot on your birthday😉 The nachos here were perfect,good portion with great cheese and avocados as well as the mini tacos. Don’t miss out with their Tecate🍻
