Salsa
Melanie S.

Amazing Mexican steakhouse with a lively vibe. There is usually mariachis that perform during dinner so call in to confirm. The staff are really knowledgeable and check in on you frequently. We ordered one of the boards that you can select different cuts of meat and various sides. The baked potato was surprisingly good and a highlight of the meal. The cauliflower is in a lot of posts from here so we had to try it too. Highly recommend!

Took some out of town friends here for dinner. They had a live band. The singer even sang a kids' song to entertain our kids! Adorable. Food and drinks were delicious. Great vibe for a Friday night dinner. Would recommend the ribeye here. It's one of the best I've had.

Love this spot! Incredible food and drinks. Great cocktails and everything you order from here is delicious! Service is great too. The waiters are super friendly and knowledgeable. Perfect for a group or date night!

Outstanding Mexican Steakhouse! Perfect for date nights, special occasions! The meat was all seasoned well. Alcohol drinks were great! Our server went through the menu for it being our first time and he was extremely helpful! Only wish was salsa as an appetizer.. otherwise will be coming back again and again! Hidden gem!

Great service and ambiance. First time here so took the waitresses recommendations. Food was very good (pricey but good)

I booked a reservation through open table, a credit card is required to put on file. If you reschedule or cancel/no show with less than 24 hour notice it is a $25 per person fee. We got seated right away even though we were 30 minutes early. Thanks to the nice lady who helped even though she wasn't our server. Presentation on the food was on point. The potato chips they greet you with were so addicting. The water glasses smelled weird though. Food was delicious, service was good but not amazing. Gratuity was automatically included, total came out to $132 all together. Restrooms were absolutely gross for such a nice restaurant. And that's was with us being there at the start of the day at 10:30 am.

Quesadillas

Visited Tu Asador on a Tuesday evening with my partner. We were greeted warmly by the host, who was very friendly and made a great first impression. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and provided detailed recommendations, which we appreciated. I decided on the enchiladas suizas, while my partner opted for the New York strip. There were a few hiccups with our drink orders. I requested a Diet Coke, but it tasted like regular Coke. My partner ordered a ginger ale, but instead, the waitress checked his ID and brought him a shot of Jägermeister--quite unexpected! He also ordered a tamarind lemonade based on the waitress's suggestion but was served cucumber lemonade instead. We suspect a language barrier may have contributed to these mix-ups. As for the food, the enchiladas and steak were both good--no complaints there. Overall, it was a mixed experience. While I'm not sure I'd return, it might be worth a try if you're nearby and in the mood for something different.

The Experience with ribeye and grilled vegetables.

I was visiting San Antonio and I found myself craving a good steak, but not from fancy restaurant like Ruth's Chris. The front desk at my hotel recommended Tu Asador, which I am glad they did. The staff welcoming and hospitable. I was seated quickly with my drink order taken and chips brought to the table. The service was great throughout my visit (no complaints). The atmosphere was elegant and comfortable all at once. While there aren't any white tablecloths, the resturant would be good for date night as well as family outings. I ordered a glass of the house red and since it was happy hour, I received a free appetizer. Today's was chunks of grilled beef with a tangy bite - all good. I ordered the "Experience" with ribeye (always the best cut in my opinion) and grilled vegetables. The meal was served on a wood cutting board, which added a nice accent to the meal. The meat was cooked well, but did have some tendons (which is not uncommon with ribeye cuts). The veggies were spot on and the quesadillas complimented the meal well. All-in-all, this place scratched my itch. If I actually lived in San Antonio, I would certainly visit this restaurant again and again.

We came here for an early dinner on a Saturday. The restaurant is in a strip mall with a large parking lot. We got in before the dinner rush and were sat right away. It got pretty busy by the time we left. We got complementary chips and hot sauce. Our server was great and made excellent recommendations. My wife got the enchiladas suizas and I got the sirloin and charro beans. We both enjoyed our food and the portions were huge. I liked that my steak came with a little pile of salt on the cutting board.

Mexican candy shots & guacamole!
Wilnesa C.

The food here is absolutely amazing and the service is top notch! I'm a sucker for fresh guacamole and this place gives me just that. Who knew something so simple could be so delicious! The drinks are always on point. I hate going somewhere for "drinks" and what I order comes back tasting like juice. Koodos to the bartenders! The shot flights are an absolute must to try. The atmosphere is nice and cozy. Perfect spot for a date night or small gathering with family/friends.

What a great find!…read more Fideo soup was great and a hit with my kids. The mexican shrimp cocktail was okay, but it needs more veggies in it. The small had 4 shrimp in it and a few chunks of avocado. Al pastor tacos comes with the fresh pineapple, cilantro, and onios served on the side. They were pretty good. The mole poblano was also pretty good. The mole sauce was perfect and the chicken was juicy. Enfrijoladas with chicken was great. My super picky kids ate that pretty well. But the real star of the show was the rice! It's not the typical Spanish rice. It was very fluffy and packed full of flavor. Honestly I'd go bacl for that rice alone. The portions were large and very reasonably priced. Will definitely come back to try more dishes.

Plus taxes but the Mgr also charged me 18% ($19.29) as a gratuity. I asked why if we were 5 adults and a baby. She said that they charge gratuity for a table of six persons or more. I insisted that she should reconsider it, there were only 5 plates requested. She insisted that the gratuity is for the cleaning of the table after the service and the babies sometimes make more mess than an adult. I know that the gratuity is for the Restaurant and no money goes for the waiter/waitress. Therefore the lady that helped us was not guilty of this and she provided great service. Therefore we left a tip of $15 dlls. More. I really feel this "gratuity charge" is outrageous and the cleaning of the table should be part of being on business. Nevertheless we are not going back to this restaurant again.

Pretty much told us to suck it. We definitely overpaid by 50 dollars. Every responsible party showed their receipts/ bank account and that's the kind of stellar customer service this place has. No wonder why the older bald waiter has that attitude. He steals from people and is backed up by their management. Would everything had been ok if they didn't use some scam like QR code? Or the waiter done his job instead of dropping off the tab and not asking a single soul out of a party of 7 to split or not, then this wouldn't even be an issue. Just remember the people the manager dismissed are involved in the legal world, some are teacher and other nurses and trust that we will be vocal about how this place is scamming people without a second thought. Will never be back but as the manager said, no sweat off his back since people will still go and our experience doesn't matter in his eyes.

We ordered the half chicken ($11), and I was honestly surprised by how juicy and moist it still was inside. The outside had a wonderful smoky charcoal flavor, and the marinade was flavorful all the way through. It also came with rice, corn tortillas, red and green salsa, grilled jalapeño, lime, and grilled onion, so it was a really filling meal for the price. We also tried the Bean Burger ($9.79), which was a fun combination of a beef patty, refried beans, cheese, chipotle sauce, and pico de gallo. I enjoyed it, although I personally would have loved a thicker layer of beans. The green salsa was SO good that I ended up buying an extra container for about $5 to take home. The restaurant itself is very casual and no-frills, with a big charcoal grill that really adds to the atmosphere--you can see and smell the chicken cooking. It feels much more like a local neighborhood spot than a polished tourist restaurant. Service was also very friendly and attentive. Even though we arrived late, we never felt rushed, and our server checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. I would absolutely come back for the chicken and green salsa.
