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.

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.

The tree chile sauce in this place is to die for. The food and drinks are all amazing, including the vegan options. Can't wait to go back.

Was a bit underwhelmed by this spot to be honest. The aesthetics were on point, open air concept…read morewith widely spaced tables, candles, decent music. They start you off with a complimentary piece of toast with some vegetable chunks. Each of us got a quarter of a piece of dry white bread that I would pass on in the future but the vegetables paired with it had decent flavor. I got the passion fire as my drink and very much enjoyed it. It was sweet and refreshing with just the right amount of heat. 9/10. For appetizers my group split the duck tartlet with pink mole, the sweet potato agrodolce, and the hamachi tiradito. The duck was well cooked and tender but lacking in flavor. The pink mole wasn't adding much to the dish other than creaminess. The tart shell was awful. It was thick and dry and reminiscent of a premade store bought tart shell. 5/10. The sweet potato agrodolce was good, the sweet potato and squash ribbons had a nice firm texture and snap but all of the flavor came from the yogurt sauce that they were sitting on. 7/10. The hamachi tiradito was my favorite of the apps. The fish was fresh and light, the flavors were interesting with the combination of the sweet banana vinaigrette, the salty umami ponzu, and the sweet tangy mango, chili, cucumber salsa. This dish was the best of the night, 8/10. For mains we split the catch of the day, which was red snapper, and the broken beet. The fish was underwhelming, being a bit overcooked and dry. The sauce it was drenched in helped with the dryness but didn't lend much flavor. The yuca chips were a nice addition, adding a nice crunch to contrast the soft textures of the fish and sauce but again, not lending much in flavor. Chips could have been salted. 6/10. The beets were cooked well, they were soft and tender and paired nicely with the sour cream, turmeric oil, and salad. The turmeric oil added acidity, the salad added freshness and also acidity from the dressing it had, and the sour cream added a nice creaminess and tangy. These flavors offset the richness of the beets nicely. My second favorite dish, 8/10. For dessert we went with the "corn," which was a cake shaped like a corn cob with a chopped nut center and what I think was real corn kernels across the exterior, paired with a corn ice cream. Overall a solid dessert, the chopped nuts added a nice crunch however the cake as a whole was a bit dry. The ice cream added some needed moisture and paired nicely with the cake, though the texture was a bit icy, more like a corn sorbet than a corn ice cream. 6/10. Overall a good experience but with its high prices and small portions I wouldn't go back. The apps were on average between $20-$30 usd, with mains being between $25-$50 usd, and dessert $20 usd.

This is an unusual find in Tulum (or maybe fine dining is becoming more common there these days?)…read more Top notch service. We arrived on a rainy night and they improvised a valet device for us. We were seated in a lovely indoor/outdoor room, tables spaced well apart from other diners. Our waiter explained both the drinks and the food. In fact, when I wanted to order a glass of wine, he offered to have us taste all the reds they had available (since he didn't have faith in the one I had my eye on). The food was on the fancy side and very very good. One dish didn't succeed, but the rest did. It was a lovely night and we ate well!
