Tacos El Asador - Toronto, Ontario

Among an entire street of Korean restaurants on Bloor Street, my partner and I visited this taco store, which was listed as a Salvadoran restaurant upon my research, so we had to give the tacos and the pupusa a try, and honestly, we enjoyed the tacos and tostadas a lot ... more. I believe we ordered the squash pupusa or the cheese & beans pupusa, but it ended up not being very memorable because it wasn't as savory as tostadas or tacos, and part of me was wondering if I was eating it correctly, because I didn't quite see the appeal of pupusas in general. I think I need to learn more about it first. Every tostada and taco we have gotten are amazing, from the camaron tostadas to the birria tacos to the lengua tacos, everuthing was juicy and flavorful. I have never had lengua tacos with guacamole in them, and it turned out very well! The lengua meat bits were huge, so of course I was very satisfied. The birria meat was cooked very well as well, so after getting birria tacos, I got birria tostadas during Round 2. The only reason I wouldn't give this place a 5 was because the price for one taco, especially with the amount given on the camaron (shrimp) taco as displayed in my attached photo, was a bit too much, as $6.5 didn't get me much at all. The tostadas were totally worth it, but seeing the amount in the tacos I would expect the price overall to be more balanced and reasonable. Overall it was definitely a good joint, and if you are a basketball fan, you'd be in luck because the place has Toronto 2019 championship stuff all over its walls! Read more

One of my favourite places to eat in the city. Always so filling and so good. The pupusas here are incredible and nowhere else can come anywhere close to how good they are here. I got a birria taco combo and it was so soft and juicy and I could ... barely finish the dish. Read more

Place was cool to sit in and look around. Service was great and fast! Our Tacos were Meh. Quesadillas were also Meh. The best thing we had was the guacamole and beers!

Follow @bredgyeats for more food photos! Shrimp Tostada + Lengua Taco + Carnitas Taco - For a more homemade feeling, these tacos absolutely do not disappoint either. The lengua taco may seem intimidating at first but is definitely worth a try if you like strong beefy flavours. For more textural eater, ... the tostada combines the crisp corn tortilla with mashed beans, lettuce, onions, sour cream and guac with shrimp. Read more

THIS PLACE IS CRAZY!! The vibe is perfect and the food is amazing. My favourite taco place has changed to here seriously🥹 my recommendations are hard taco with chicken, shrimp taco with tequila shot and lime tequila margarita! They don't have a drink menu, but you can always ask friendly server :)
