Traveling through Europe and having not eaten anything that felt like home cooking, I went into this place without much research, I just walked in and I honestly don't regret it. I had a lamb stew and it was the most delicious, hot, and home-style food I could have ever eaten. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was family-friendly, and the food was top-notch. I would definitely go back.
All the tables that came after us were served before us, the waitress was a bit rude and we waited more than 45 mins to receive our order and the food came cold. Also check your bill when paying with a card machine they put a different bills total
We spontaneously went for lunch and it was absolutely fantastic. The homemade lemonade was delicious and the food was very tasty. The club sandwich was quite large but really delicious. The atmosphere was very cozy. We felt very comfortable.
Unfortunately, my visit today was disappointing. The food was cold, and the rice was hard and unappetizing. I usually have good experiences, but the last two times the food was terrible and not warm at all. All food has become expensive now, which is understandable. It's a shame the quality has declined. I hope things improve. The service is excellent and fast. It wasn't busy. Two tables were full when we left.
Expensive, the borito was literally cold, and so was the meat. My girlfriend had a spicy borito and felt incredibly nauseous afterward. The woman who made the borito was grumpy and not customer-friendly. My male colleague, on the other hand, was sweet, greeted me immediately upon arrival, and was relatively calm. The atmosphere wasn't great, but it was good. Too expensive and I wouldn't go back.
I was absolutely thrilled with El Asador! The moment you walk in, you feel the warm, inviting atmosphere – the lighting, the music, and the aroma of the grill instantly make you want more. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive without being intrusive.
The steak was simply perfect – tender, juicy, and grilled to perfection. The side dishes were also fresh and flavorful, especially the grilled vegetables and the homemade chimichurri sauce.
You can tell that the food is cooked with passion. The value for money is truly excellent for Amsterdam! I highly recommend El Asador to anyone who loves good meat and authentic South American cuisine. I will definitely be back! 💪🏻
I think the delivery service isn't quite up to par yet. An hour and a half for a simple small bowl of rice with ketjap (nasi?), dry pork belly, and the sweet and sour chicken was good. And everything was lukewarm. And all that for 32 euros?
Next time I'll go to my local Chinese restaurant. I thought I'd give it a try, and that's it.
Also two stars for the atmosphere, because it was gone by the time the food was delivered.
