Al Pastor...really great! Carnitas...great! Lengua...great! Pollo...great! The green salsa is the super bomb! Cilantro-avocado perhaps? The habanero and onion condiment is a nice touch too. 1.75 tacos. read more

El Asadero - Lengua burrito+ - Mexican Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

Stopped by on the way back to WA from a road trip. Service was excellent, food came out fast & was super fresh and hot! Burritos were huge and price is great. They have a few outdoor tables as well that are covered. Definitely recommend and will be back for sure! read more

I'd been craving a big burrito and I finally found a good one. They were fairly busy which usually means good food. And then the Clatsop County Sheriff pulled in and ordered... Dad was right ... if the truck drivers and police ate there, the food was generally gpod read more

Okay so the ambiance leaves much to be desired, but who cares when you are eating incredibly delicious tacos!! During my road trip from San Francisco, I've been fortunate to feast on many a fish taco. These were by far the best! Even the little corn tortillas were tasty. This little taco truck is a true diamond in the rough. At $1.75 a pop, the fish tacos are a steal. Tacos de pollo were $1.50 each. Great find! read more

Best food ever, recommend over any restaurant. Keep going back and back again. Veggie burrito is my favorite but try what is of interest to you, you won't be disappointed. read more

As a local, I've never been afraid of the taco bus at the old abandoned gas station by the Astoria roundabout. Tourists may be put off by its location, but that just means less of a line for us Coastals! Though I've never been when there wasn't at least 3 customers ahead of me, the wait is still only about 5 minutes to get your food. Amazing! They are so friendly and helpful when deciding what choice of menu items to get. Their green and red sauces are a must, with the red being the spicier of the two. But I found the star of the show to be the pico de gallo! Addictive! I ordered the Asada (beef) burrito, $8, and enjoyed every bite! Next time, I will order it without refried beans, just because I think it takes away from the steak flavor a bit. Burrito comes with: meat of choice, Mexican rice, refried beans, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, and I had them add onion and cilantro at no cost. The burrito was huge and the tortilla was so soft and delicious! I wonder if they'll just sell me some of those tortillas to take home? With a vat of that pico de gallo too, please!! I can also say that I've tried their spicy pork tacos, beef tacos, beef tongue tacos, beef tortas, and quesadillas and have been happy with all of it! Tacos are $2.50 each. They have indoor seating and covered outdoor picnic tables, or you can wait in your car for your order. Bottled sodas and pictures of their menu items that help in the ordering process. read more

El Asadero - a truck parked at a gas station - Mexican Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

Everyone knows that the best food comes from food trucks these days and this truck is no exception. We had a great meal with a variety of tacos and burritos with Mexican Cokes in the bottle. The cook is a super friendly young man who obviously cares about the food he makes. The presentation was perfect, as evidenced by the pictures below and the taste was even better. I plan to eat here again before leaving the area. Finally, the cook had a connection to the Detroit area, having lived there 10 yesterday ago. Let me sum it up... THIS PLACE IS AWESOME! read more

This was so good! I got the veggie burrito and it was delish and big. We also got a steak burrito and taco platter and $5 bean and cheese burritos of the kids. Yummy, thank you! Very friendly! read more

El Asadero - Veggie burrito - Mexican Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

Hours said they were open so drove there to find them closed. Make sure to check before you go.

Bought 4 tacos and a burrito. Food is authentic Mexican. Birria and al pastor. Meat was tender, juicy and seasoned well. Good prices and overall a great spot to stop and get some delicious tacos. read more

Everything is delicious! You wont be disappointed! Friendly service and fresh food. Very authentic street food. Good salsas. Great prices!

Great spot for Mexican food near the Round-a-bout in Astoria. They are mainly a drive-up Taco Truck, but recently have added a little indoor seating area that sits about 10. I eat here about twice a week and you get huge portions for about 5 bucks. My normal order, a Spicy Pork Burrito, is over 1.5lbs - even without sour cream. (I've weighed it!) I decided to switch things up and went to another Mexican restaurant about 2 weeks ago (which is highly rated) and paid twice as much for half the amount. And it was not nearly as tasty as El Asadero, plus it took 25 minutes for a to-go order, as opposed to 2-3 minutes at the truck. read more

Best taco truck in town, amazing food, even better customer service, I'm a health nut & it's the only place I consistently eat out at year round read more

Solid taco truck in a town where I wouldn't expect a solid taco truck. They've got an indoor seating area as well which is welcome in a place where it's often cold and wet. The dude in the truck was super nice and the food was solid - the pico de gallo at the salsa bar was especially good. Tacos are $1.50 and the burritos are huge. Highly recommended. read more

El Asadero - Mexican Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

This is the taco truck near the bridge, not the restaurant by Safeway. This taco truck serves traditional tacos, burritos and other assorted dishes. Every taco and burrito I've tried has been great (beef, chicken, spicy pork). I do need to recommend the beef tongue tacos (lengua). It sounds wrong, but it is soooo good. Squeeze on some lime and salsa and enjoy! read more

It's 30 minutes before your second shift of the day starts and your belly is screaming for some fuel, but you only have $3 in your pocket--what do you do? Roll through the nearest burger king and fill up on "chicken" nuggets? HELL NO. Go grab yourself a couple of tacos from this truck! (But be sure to leave a tip because they deserve it.) I've had plenty of tacos from the plethora of Mexican restaurants here in Astoria, but never from any trucks on the side of the highway before--so I'll admit I was a little skeptical when I arrived this afternoon. The exterior of the truck looks as shabby as the term "taco truck" would make me expect, with several hand-written and weather-worn menus posted on the outside and a salsa bar constructed from an open ice chest and some Tupperware. Next to the truck there's a few picnic tables and even an old converted gas station offering a small indoor dining area for your dining convenience. Appearances aside, El Asadero offers a variety of lunch specials, burritos, and tacos all at very affordable prices. The tacos are 1.50-1.75ea, burritos are in the 7-8 range, and more complex lunch plates go for around 10. For what you're getting this is a steal! There is also a selection of beverages and chips if you are in the need. As I previously illustrated, I ordered two chicken tacos (to-go). When the cook handed me a tiny paper bag I was confused at first, thinking there had been some sort of miscommunication--but as I sat down in my car and unwrapped the tinfoil package inside I realized that my eyes are just bigger than my stomach. This was exactly what I needed to get me through my next shift: two tacos, made with a generous serving of minced chicken cooked with onion and cilantro, each on two warm, soft corn tortillas. (All for 1.50 each? WHAT?!) The chicken is tender, moist, and was thankfully not over-seasoned to the point of making it a meat guessing-game. I got a side of Pico de Gallo (my favorite salsa option) and it added just a touch of spicy to make this meal a little moment of bliss on a busy day. I am excited to try El Asadero again, and highly suggest you do too. read more

El Asadero - Chicken Tacos with Pico De Gallo - Mexican Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

Better than expected! Most burritos are about $7 and most tacos about $1.50/$1.75, with many meat options such as asada, chicken, carnitas, spicy pork, beef tongue, etc. There are also plates available, as well as quesadillas, tortas, and nachos, and the truck sells canned and bottled sodas (Pepsi, Coke, and Mexican sodas) and packaged snacks like chips. A steady stream of customers, mostly take out, after noon on a Wednesday. Three picnic tables outdoors as well as some indoor seating. I got the veggie burrito for $5 (beans, rice, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cilantro). Bean and cheese also an option for $4. I liked how it was served on a plate with a fork and knife. A small table is set up with pico de gallo and two sauces (red and green, both pretty spicy and so good!) on ice...looked well-kept and everything tasted fresh. My burrito was not quite Chipotle large, but close, nicely assembled, and grilled. It was tasty, but a tad too much lettuce for my liking. I need to get meat next time! read more

Delicious, fresh, authentic tacos. The carnitas were the best, but birria and al pastor tacos were great too. Service is fast and friendly- Omar made us feel very welcome. read more

I had a couple pork and beef tacos which I thought were okay. Ingredients were meat, cilantro, and diced yellow onion on a double stack of 2" tortillas - that's it. Very basic 'street tacos'. Portions were small. I thought it could (and should) have been double what was provided. The amount of meat on mine was nowhere near the pictures posted by others. Mine had about a tablespoon of meat each. Tasty but nothing to rave about. Popular spot. Very busy when I stopped by so, maybe everyone else Yelped it too. Or, maybe the other stuff is a lot better than their tacos. read more

Excellent! My husband and I have stopped here twice now and the tacos are amazing. This past weekend we tried the indoor seating area. It was very clean, plenty of seating and they had a station with the hot sauces inside as well as outside by the truck. Next time I will have to try something new from the menu, but the tacos are so amazing, its hare not to order them every time! Clean, fast service, and amazing food! read more

This is my go-to place for phenomenal authentic Mexican food. The food is divine, and ridiculously cheap! I send tourists here all the time. My only complaint is that they're not open later!! Order the tacos de lengua or carne asada, you will NOT be disappointed. Ah-maz-ing. read more

I love the beef tacos!! Staff are friendly. Wish it cost a little cheaper but it's worth it. I haven't had a long wait time for my food.

When I'm craving a burrito or some fresh tacos, this is the best place in town! Simple ingredients stuffed full of spices and wrapped in a warm tortilla are so satisfying. The crew here is always friendly and their service is very quick. I sometimes find the Al Pastor a little salty, but the salsas balance it out and it's been worth the bloat. :) They are cash only, but their prices also reflect that...very reasonable for what you get. read more

I've lived in Astoria for a year & I haven't found better tacos anywhere around! Both the chicken tacos and carne asada tacos are the bomb! If you're looking for something quick & tasty, I would definitely recommend this place! read more

The first, (*I think*, maybe bowpicker?) And still the best food cart in Astoria. Spicy pork burrito 9 bucks is delicious and filling!

Omg. I moved from southern California to the central Oregon coast and now to astoria. I have finally found my spot. I had the best asada burrito. I ordered it, got it with the most great service and got home when it was still as hot as ever and by the way, their hot sauce is no joke. Amazing. Can't wait to try everything else on their menu, read more

Amazing every time. Hard working family, well priced quality food. Best Mexican food in town. Try the torta or the burrito with spicy beef!

YESSSSSSSSS FINALLY GOOD MEXICAN FOOD! I was beginning to worry I would never find true Mexican food. Being that I'm from Down south I'm pretty picky when it comes to good Mexican food. I've visited every single Mexican place in the area and it's very "tourist safe" and what I mean by that is it's very bland and "Gringo" This place is where it's at! Sure they could really use a upgrade on the truck it's a bit run down compared to most food trucks nowadays. But don't let the aesthetics get to you. Once you have the food you will be so happy you did! It would be nice if they were open on Sunday's that's my only complaint. CASH ONLY .... I REPEAT CASH ONLY!!! There is not a ATM local to the food truck so don't do what we did and order and then realize it's CASH ONLY and it's not posted anywhere either. ;( The food here is delicious I always judge a place by their bean and cheese burrito. If you can't make something that simple then you're out. This place has an amazing bean and cheese burrito, the AlPastor tacos are sooooo good ( TJ TACO STYLE) The red salsa is the best in my opinion. Ask for pico de gallo it's so good. The Carne asada tacos are good too. It's all good. I'm so excited FINALLY!!! I can now die in the Pacific Northwest lol read more

I grew up in Southern California. I know very much what tacos should taste like. This place is legitimate.

This food is absolutely awesome! Hands down best Mexican food I have ever eaten period.The dude pumping the food here is the man! He delivers when it comes to customer service. If you even think of something you need he will get read your mind and get it to you before you even have a chance to verbalize it. read more

Do yourself a favor and make this part of your standard lunch spots. I'm a taco person, so I'm usually getting the fish tacos, the Al Pastor or my favorite the Lengua tacos. Yes, a taco truck on the side of the road is the only place I've found on the coast that is doing beef tongue the way it should be done. The tortillas are obviously fresh and home made, as is all the food. They also have indoor seating for if it's raining, but the proprietor will also run your to-go order right out to your car for you if you're wanting to sit in a warm car while he puts together your meal. Awesome place!! read more

I can't even explain in words how truly amazing their food is... Their tacos are just amazing! They are one of the very very very few Taco trucks that have authentic Mexican food! I love that they have an indoor place to sit as well, especially since we live in oregon and it tends to rain a lot. read more

It's almost unbelievable how amazing this guy's food is. It's the best taco truck I've ever encountered. Growing up in the Northeast, I probably wasn't exposed to the best Mexican food. But, let's face it, Astoria's not exactly south of the border, either. But if I was Stevie Wonder and I was eating one of this guy's tacos, I might just think it was. read more
