Tacos El Asador

Absolutely loved our experience. Have walked by here countless times and ducked in as we were craving tacos and we were the furthest thing from disappointed! A wonderful family owned business. Our server was so friendly and helpful. The music was fun and added to the vibe. The shrimp taco was the best I've had to date! I also love fried plantain and theirs was so perfectly caramelised. Can't wait to come back, will be recommending this place left, right and centre.

The server was nice Good vibes especially if you love the Toronto Raptors The food was delicious, although I wish I could've dined in bc the sauce was leaking (but the bag protected it at least) and the hot sauce is SPICY! Might come back, Would recommend!

My son wanted tacos and we saw this place in the area. We ordered the nachos (pictured), chicken tamales and the barbacoa taco combo. The nachos were just ok - we asked what was on it and the server didn't tell us accurately, there was liquid nacho cheese, and no sour cream. My son loved his chicken tamales, they were big and we had leftovers. The barbacoa tacos were also delicious and had double the filling than I expected. Overall I'd go back!

Among an entire street of Korean restaurants on Bloor Street, my partner and I visited this taco store, which was listed as a Salvadoran restaurant upon my research, so we had to give the tacos and the pupusa a try, and honestly, we enjoyed the tacos and tostadas a lot more. I believe we ordered the squash pupusa or the cheese & beans pupusa, but it ended up not being very memorable because it wasn't as savory as tostadas or tacos, and part of me was wondering if I was eating it correctly, because I didn't quite see the appeal of pupusas in general. I think I need to learn more about it first. Every tostada and taco we have gotten are amazing, from the camaron tostadas to the birria tacos to the lengua tacos, everuthing was juicy and flavorful. I have never had lengua tacos with guacamole in them, and it turned out very well! The lengua meat bits were huge, so of course I was very satisfied. The birria meat was cooked very well as well, so after getting birria tacos, I got birria tostadas during Round 2. The only reason I wouldn't give this place a 5 was because the price for one taco, especially with the amount given on the camaron (shrimp) taco as displayed in my attached photo, was a bit too much, as $6.5 didn't get me much at all. The tostadas were totally worth it, but seeing the amount in the tacos I would expect the price overall to be more balanced and reasonable. Overall it was definitely a good joint, and if you are a basketball fan, you'd be in luck because the place has Toronto 2019 championship stuff all over its walls!

This is a local gem. The fish taco and pastor taco were both really good. Fish taco was my fav. Hot sauces were good too. And what everyone’s saying about the guacamole is true- it’s top notch.

Food was good. Service was okay, we came during an off time and often had to call the staff over after prolonged waits. Staff were very friendly.

Taking away stars for service. Been here couple of times now. Food and vibe are great. But, boy the sever with curly long hair seems like always having a bad day. No smiles , no acknowledgment or emotions. Just doing robotic work.

THIS PLACE IS CRAZY!! The vibe is perfect and the food is amazing. My favourite taco place has changed to here seriously🥹 my recommendations are hard taco with chicken, shrimp taco with tequila shot and lime tequila margarita! They don't have a drink menu, but you can always ask friendly server :)
