Filet mignon, grilled potato, asparagus
Samantha B.

Came here for my last night of vacation and couldn't have made a better choice. Everything I ate was incredible, the staff was very welcoming and friendly and the restaurant was absolutely beautiful. My server was Angel, he was so great and put in a lot of effort to make sure I had a good experience. My Spanish is not good at all but he was very understanding and helped me with the menu with no judgement. I appreciate him so much and everyone else on the staff that made my experience so great.

Amazing! If you're in Tulum, this is a must-visit. The food is tender and fresh, and the service is incredibly friendly. The ambiance is peacefully quiet, enhanced by a live band playing outside. Highly recommend!

We loved this place during our trip that we went back a second time. Our first visit there was definitely 5 stars. Our outdoor seating experience was lovely! Great service, delicious drinks and unlimited chips with an array of sauces. However our sit down indoor experience was drastically different with service. We had a bigger group and came around dinner. It took nearly 15 mins for someone to approach us to even order drinks and the time lapse between the ordering kept getting longer. We needed to keep waving the waiter down or even get up to get their attention since we are placed in the back corner of the restaurant. We were disappointed with the indoor service we received but would still absolutely recommend this place for the quality of food and ambiance.

Arrachera special

El lugar está muy bonito y un ambiente agradable, te puedes sentar afuera por la banqueta o adentro. La carne está cocida a la perfección y las porciones son abundantes. El servicio es excelente

Fish

Great food and great price! We were looking for a fish dish and they master it. Even they don't have drinks for the hurricane alert we got great service! Check out this place if you are in Tulum.

.I have been literally to almost every highly recommended restaurant here and I can say that El Asador is probably the best value for a higher-end restaurant in Tulum. If you in the mood for a nice steak this is your place. They serve larger cuts like cowboy and tomahawk as well as your standard collection of cuts like ribeye and NY strip. I had the ribeye and it was perfectly charred and decently cooked. Not a irrefutable medium-rare, but close. The flavour and seasoning were spit on. My wife had the flank steak platter which was also excellent. The staff were excellent. They were highly attentive and efficient. They are all clearly well trained and took it seriously. Overall, I recommend El Asador as a go to spot for a nice steak dinner when you're in Tulum.

I came here with a group of 16. I got a steak fajita that was just okay. The rating would be higher if I absolutely loved that dish but I didn't. The bone marrow dish was tasty. The cheese and shrimp and steak that was in the bowl was delicious I recommend. I had some of my friends dishes and the flank steak and cowboy steak was delicious. Indoor setting was beautiful. Staff was friendly and thoughtful. We came celebrating 4 people for their birthday and the staff surprised us with the cheesecake. It was good.

The ambiance was very nice, the food was good, and the service was perfect. I ordered the shrimp and potatoes with a side of asparagus

Steak fajitas x bone marrow x bone in ribeye

Amazing meal in a wondevf environment at a great price (for Tulum at least lol)! I will absolutely be coming back!

Arrachera, chorizo sausage, guacamole, and 1/2 a potato
Fetima W.

I attended this restaurant with a large party of 20 people on a Sunday night in Tulum, Mexico. Reece and Martin were awesome and accommodated our party and navigated the language barrier. They answered all of our questions and getting our drinks and food was done in a reasonable amount of time. The restaurant is kinda small but the inside is warm and has dim lighting. Their menu had variety and they seem to specialize in steaks. From flank steak, to Cowboy ribeyes and Tomahawks , the menu doesn't lack variety in cuts of meat. I ordered the Arrachera special. I read reviews on Yelp and google, that this is their specialty. I enjoy flank stank so I was game to try this. I was disappointed in the sides and feel like the dish was missing something overall but the food had flavor. The margaritas were amazing and made well! I had to get two! Prices are very reasonable.

Cowboy steak
Kimberly M.

Amazing steakhouse! At first entrance everyone welcomed us and was super friendly. My group got a lot of food but what stood out to everyone the most was the cowboy steak! It comes out in a searing hot plate and it's so bomb! There was live music and people dancing outside. It was really cute. Highly recommend to those who are thinking about visiting! Loved the hospitality here so much

T-bone meal with cheese potato plus a grilled onion as an extra side. 5 salsas for chips also pictured.

We stumbled upon Casa Banana while walking the beach road in Tulum looking for a dinner spot. It's…read morea Michelin guided restaurant and we were lucky to get a table on a Wednesday night since we didn't have a Rez. It's a very vibey spot with low lighting and a boho atmosphere. The highlight of the entire night was the baked fig appetizer! It was gooey and delicious! We also ordered the whole fish baked in the wood fire oven. The fish of the night was yellowtail. First time to ever eat a whole fish and wow was it good! For cocktails we got the Pilar, which had the lightest hint of hazelnut, and the Emerald whiskey cocktail. It was unique, but the Pilar was better. Service was very attentive and made great recommendations. Go check this place out and try and make a reservation for the weekends.

I've been eyeing Casa Banana every night we've been here and it felt so much more chill compared to all the surrounding party restaurants. It was the perfect stop for a reset. The vibe was top tier. So intimate and cozy, and it felt really nice sitting by the fire on such a chilly night. Our server Joaquin was so friendly and attentive and took great care of us. The octopus salad was so lovely, and the Argentinian chorizo was honestly one of the best chorizo I've had. Not very spicy, served with perfectly toasted focaccia and roasted vegetables. We also loved the pickled eggplant that came with it. They brought out complimentary toast and spread when we first arrived too which was so sweet. So happy we stopped here

Despite the high cost as most things and places in Tulum, I decided to dine here after reading a few good reviews online and from a friend's recommendation. When you walk into the place , you feel the tulum Vibe, high energy , trendy. The restaurant has both indoors and outdoors ( we sat close to the back where the cooking station was). We were in an Alcove , loved the semi privacy as it's in the corner but didn't love the lack of air flow . We were within the crowd but not in the middle of it . I absolutely love the way it's decorated , the feel and ambiance of the place . Now the food , like mentioned, one week for overpaying mediocre food , I was impressed and satisfied with the menu and the plates we chose . For a party of 5 ( adults ), we had the perfect amount of food from two appetizers ( grilled calamari - the freshened of it is evident as it melts in the mouth and wasn't chewy and the grilled leeks was complemented well with the labneh , capers , breadcrumbs ). I was in heaven as I along with the group enjoyed the entrants ( skirt steak served with mashed potatoes ) and 6hr slowly cooked ribbed served with delicious potatoes . We also got the side of grilled vegetables ( to counter all the meat ). Couldn't resist not ordering dessert given all the dishes came out amazing . We had the crepe with dulce de leche served with banana ice cream . Great second to the last evening meal . Highly doubt the last meal beats this one . I recommend going for all the reasons stated above but would also encourage sharing dishes ( don't over order to truly appreciate all of them ). There certainly are other items that I would love to try next time ( maybe if I come back In Tulum ) like the grilled beets , grilled fish , etc. Good food and drinks , fun / trendy place perfect for groups , dates ( the bar is awesome as well ).

The server was attentive to all our needs, helped make recommendations on the menu and helped us pick a delicious bottle of wine that would pair well with our dinner. They addressed us by our last names Mr and Mrs Valles which made me feel even more impressed. They would take away silverware after each meal and provide you with new silverware, they cleaned the table after each meal as well to make sure that even if you had crumbs or a messy eating style they would make sure you had a clean table for the next entree item. During the dinner there was a professional tango dancing couple who dance in front of your table and around the restaurant! It was pretty awesome! Honestly it makes the experience even more exciting. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful during dinner. The view of the ocean from the window seats was also nice to have while enjoying the fine dining Argentinian Cuisines. As for the food we had a Shrimp appetizer that the server recommended paired with Blue Crab Soup. My girlfriend and I also split a Rib Eye steak. Finally we concluded our meal with the Apple Crumble. Let me tell you everything tasted phenomenal! The Argentinian spices and flavor of the shrimp was insanely good, creamy, had some spice, and the flavor was top notch. They cooked our Rib Eye to perfection where the steak literally melted in your mouth! As for the blue crab soup it was absolutely phenomenal and the portion of crab they provide in the soup is perfect. The Apple Crumble would make angels cry in happiness! I am not a big Apple person but the Apple crumble was to die for! Overall, the ambiance can not be beat, the service is phenomenal, the food is delicious, and is a romantic setting that I would highly suggest for couples who are enjoying paradise! Definitely check out this spot for one of your nights in beautiful Cancun!
