Big fans of this restaurant! We have been there twice now and both times our waiter was super nice. It's hasn't been too busy there's usually a table available. The menu is enormous with so many great options, similar to the cheesecake factory but great food! Their lunch specials are reasonably priced and the options are endless. Not as "Americanized" as el vaquero but some of those types of options are also available if that's what you prefer. The one thing we have gotten both times is the bone marrow tacos. I've never seen this at any mexican restaurant and they are really tasty so we get it as an appetizer. We haven't had their cocktails but they have a ton to choose from, including margarita flights! The restaurant always appears clean and the decorations are bright and inviting. read more

El Asadero - Bone marrow tacos - Seafood Near Me - Powell, Ohio

I stopped in with my brother on a Thursday night about 5:30 pm. We would frequent Don Tequila at this location prior to the change. My quesabirria tacos were very tasty and the consume was flavorful. I ordered the sangria margarita and asked if it had pineapple as I'm allergic. Our waitress said it didn't, but when I clarified I was asking due to an allergy, she seemed unsure, which wasn't very reassuring. I think the chips & salsa is the same as before. Overall, it seemed that prices were a few dollars higher than Don Tequila was. They removed the booths down the middle of the room so there's more table seating and fewer booths (a more even split between the two now). Lots of sparklers were lit for some drinks and birthdays! read more

Our first visit here and it was fabulous all around. Great food, fun vibe, and very friendly service. They start you off with a generous helping of their tortilla chips with salsa (their salsa was very good). For my entree I got their chicken mole, which came with a full leg and breast piece on top of Mexican rice. Delicious mole sauce. My wife got their Cochinita pibil, which is pork marinated for 24 hours -- apparently a house recipe that came with buttered white rice. The dish lived up to expectations. I can't wait to try some of the other items on their menu. It's a very large menu and it's surprising that they are able to hold up the quality that well. Lots of margaritas as well. My Mezcal was delicious as well. read more

We drove up to Powell tonight in search of, well- really anywhere we hadn't eaten at. Decided to try El Asadero. Its a bit south of Powell road and off Sawmill. Large stand alone building, plenty of parking We walked in,it sounded like a night club... it was even dark inside. Instantly my eyes were drawn to the very tall glowing object. Oh my God, this ten foot lit up thing was dancing and interacting with guests! It was so hilarious and fascinating all at the same time. Ron asked me if I wanted to go-cause it's not normally my scene.... But I was hooked. I had to see what that robot thing was... So, we sat down in a booth, fully intending on just ordering drinks. Why- because I heard they come with sparklers (seriously This is what made me want to come here lol) I really wanted that experience. However the waitress said most of the margaritas are frozen. I'm not a fan of frozen margaritas-I like them to be on the rocks. So no drinks tonight for us We thought about leaving but we stayed as the food that was passing our booth all looked amazing The place was packed it just had to be good right? I looked at the menu I decided I'll just do the combo. I chose a burrito, a chili Reno and a chalupa. Ron got a mango chicken. I have to say the mango chicken salad was the star. It was one of the best looking salads I've seen for a while, and it tasted extraordinary, highly highly highly recommend! As for my combo: my burrito looked like an enchilada on steroids. It was delicious. My flauta was my favorite. It was huge. It was big enough to be its own entrée and the chili Reno was a good size and it tasted fine. However I didn't like the breading. Wouldnt get that again While we were waiting for our bill, the people behind us got the tower of margarita which is exactly what it sounds like. It's enough margaritas for 4 to 6 people, super tall and guess what it has sparklers!!! so I was happy. If you're looking for a fun time and good food, I really recommend this place. I have to say the Mexican food they serve was really good. I would go back there 100% for sure. If you decide to go ask for Arianna. She is an excellent server. read more

Didn't realize this place changed from don tequila til we pulled up but no worries. The decor is very bright and colorful and it was decked out for Valentine's Day. First off I have to say that the menus, both the drink menu and the food menu are BIG. Almost overwhelming lol. Took me like 10 min to choose a drink. And the drinks are crazy. A lot come out with dry ice and they do it up for birthdays. We had 7 people and the service was pretty quick. A few items took alittle longer (and it's stated in the menu to give time) like our friends seafood pasta and another's birria tacos. Both were very worth the wait according to them. I tried the birria consume and it was amazing. I'll get that next time. I got the steak fajita nachos and they were really good. My husband got the chicken and chorizo and it was delicious as well. The salsa was really good too. We will go back for sure. As we were paying they were starting interactive karaoke lol. Not even sure what that means but the first song was in Spanish and it was a lot. Sooooo loud does NOT need to be that loud in a small place. The second song was a Teddy Swims cover and she nailed it. Just so loud. read more

What a fun Mexican restaurant. Bring all your friends and have a fun time and enjoy good drinks and food. We arrived in time to see the dancing robot. What a concept and everyone loved it. We also got to see them serve a margarita tower. Wow. I ordered the Tropical Mango Avocado Salad with chicken and loved it. All the ingredients were super fresh. They had quite an extensive menu for food and really fun cocktails. All the food looked wonderful. Our server was very pleasant and very attentive. Overall I was impressed and enjoyed the evening. This would be a great place to bring several friends for a fun dining adventure. I can't wait to go back again. read more

Great atmosphere in here. Greeted at the door with a smile. Saw spots at the bar and headed in. Dinner menu, drink menu along with chips and salsa arrived quickly. Chips were warm. Salsa had a nice smoky flavor. Then Lucia came around for our drink orders. A few minutes later the fabulous drinks arrived. Thought I got a drink and a fruit plate with all the fruit on the rim. Of course I ate it all. Dinner arrived and smelled wonderful. I got the Pollo Santa Fe. Big chicken breast, shrimp that were grilled and flavored well. Jalapeños had a nice kick when added to the dish. The taquitos looked amazing. So colorful and my wife loved the flavor. Thank you Lucia for taking such good care of us! read more

We went to this Mexican restaurant based on my friend's previous experience. And I stand by her recommendation. Decent size dining area and very large menu. Friendly staff which is always a plus. All of the cocktails are served with flair. My margarita was garnished with fruit and a miniature pig. Go figure. When shots were served, a transformer looking person came out and danced around the restaurant. It became like a mini rave! I enjoyed the fun. Chips and salsa were good. If you like hot salsa, you will have to ask for it. For my entree, I got the molcajete. It was a large serving that can't be eaten in one sitting. The beans were better than the rice which was a tad disappointing. Also disappointed I didn't get any tortillas with my order. There is a churro cart that goes around but didn't get a chance to try it out since we were stuffed. Overall the menu was priced well and the food tasted good. I will definitely come back hopefully to try the churros. Tip:: One of my friend's is a vegetarian and said this menu had many options. Plus they have coupons! read more

Exemplary Saturday night!! We came for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the vibe and food!! So many speciality drinks with beautiful presentations. We got the table side guacamole ... almost perfection .... We like a little less salt but you can tailor all the ingredients. We weren't paying attention. Lobster fajitas were a happy order. We had plenty to take home Service was decent. It was busy. Enjoyed the dancing robot read more

This was great! Very good food and vibes, and the drinks are just too cute for words. We ordered a lot of things but everyone's favorite was the carne asada plate. 10/10 will order this again with margarita. I want to go when they have the robot-man dancing. Their overhead lights are super bright which wasn't my fave, but it looks dimmer from photos in other reviews. The service was wonderful too and they were really nice read more

Great food, the fajita meats are cooked over the charcoal first and have great flavor and char, the marinade on the pastor was great , nice and savory. I had the Cali Burrito with pastor and tried the Chicken Fajitas, both would definitely have again. And couldn't miss the table side guacamole. But of course the real flash are the crazy drinks - wild, fun over the top presentations. Overall a delicious and fun meal! read more

What a great restaurant. There were 4 of us and we had amazing service, great drinks, and great food. At the recommendation of our server (who was hilarious), I had the blackberry mezcalita. If you like mezcal, I loved it. I recommend the table side guacamole and the Alambre. I was able to cut the steak with my table knife. My friends enjoyed their steak tacos, enchiladas, and taco salad. I look forward to returning. I wish I would have taken more pictures. read more

My husband suggested going to lunch and I favored Mexican cuisine. So we decided to try El Asadero on Sawmill in Powell. Their menu choice of selections was impressive. My husband got chimichangas and I chose chicken fajitas. We were absolutely delighted with our lunches. The sizzling platter of sautéed onions and peppers also contained perfectly grilled chicken. Our server was wonderful, too. We shall return and tell our family and friends. read more

I had read some mixed reviews and was nervous, but my family and I had a great experience. All our food tasted wonderful, service was fast (it was a Tuesday evening around 6pm) and kids were entertained by the multiple TVs and the various fireworks that accompanied drinks. The drinks come with smoke or sparkling firecrackers so kids were entertained by other people's orders. Great place for some singing servers at a birthday. I'll bring the kids again on a weekend when it's busier to see more happenings the next time. read more

went for my sister's birthday on a Tuesday and while it was rather empty inside they still took forever to take our orders and when I asked the server if they did anything for birthdays she rudely said no and then tried to play it off as a joke but her tone made it serious and then implied we couldn't take a joke. read more

Amazing food and atomosphere! Service was great and they had a dancing robot come around which was cool

I've been here twice already and the food and service it's great the only thing I've notice it's that the Latino manager it's racist to his own people and I'm saying this is because I've seen him asking people how's everything and he has just passed us by and don't bother asking us anything I think the company need to hire manager anti racist tour his own people and I think if he don't like Latinos customer like him he need to work in a different environment and not Mexican restaurant I hope I get a massage from someone. About him so I can explain how discriminating I've felt the 2 times we have been there read more

I ate here when the new owners took over,the food was amazing and service was great! The third visit " what happened " chips cold and stale,salsa was just tomato sauce with a lot of hot sauce in it with large leaves of cilantro.The waitress couldn't get the order right, just order what was on the menu, tacos nothing special. Manager came over to verify order,but talked down to us.We were nothing but polite and bewildered. The food came out cold and the taco shells were stale.I thought we found a great Mexican restaurant close to home.We will not be going back. read more
