I've been coming here since I was a kid; this is the best shawarma I have ever eaten, but still, all the meat here is top-notch, freshly grilled, and a super nice atmosphere. Definitely recommended.
Nice food, it says they open at 11:00. But unfortunately, we had to look for another restaurant for brunch, because they don't actually open until 12:00.
I'm Mexican, living in Amsterdam, and I'm always looking for places to eat delicious and affordable food since it's hard to find authentic food at reasonable prices here. I was truly surprised by the quality and flavor of their food. My friend and I ordered a barbacoa burrito that was SPECTACULAR. On top of everything, Daniel and Miguel gave us excellent service and were incredibly friendly. I highly recommend it.
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'll definitely be back! 💪🏻
Bartender is made to do everything while waitress has smoke breaks and never once comes by to check on you. Food is not authentic mexican but I guess it is good enough to eat. Ask for salt you'll need it. Salsa no flavor or spice. Drinks are decent. I wouldn't come back and honestly only posted this for my fellow eaters out there to beware.
Really bad service, sat outside for at least 20 minutes waiting to order. Even went into the bar and asked if we could order where they asked me to go outside instead and wait for a waiter to come to our table. When the waiter came we asked for our three drinks of which I was clear that I did NOT want the gin and tonic variant of pink panther which is exactly what I got :( really sad. Will not come back here again and do not recommend others to go there.
