Hands down, after months of testing, I am pleased to announce that Tacos El Asador serves up the very best in Taco greatness! Although it's not really Mexican (the owners are from El Salvador), this place offers not only the delicious and more traditionally Mexican soft taco, but even more tantalizing are their CHRISPY (yep, you read it right...CHRISPY) tacos: freshly fried tortillas stuffed with your choice of meat filling nestled between lettuce, onion and a smattering of queso fresco. Load that taco up with their amazing taco sauce, fresh jalapenos, onions and cilantro!
Aside from how good the tacos are, the price is right. You can eat yourself silly here for $10 per person.
Also amazing are the pupusas. The cheese is a bit bland, but the other offerings such as the mixed bean n' cheese do a fabulous job of satisfying the lust for more latin goodness. Nachos depart from expectation with avocado and black bean mole.
The atmosphere is ram packed and smaller than some closets-- but convivial, complete with televisions broadcasting the latest in Latino pop videos, scantily clad ladies and infomercials for weight loss drugs.
