In ft worth for the Holy Sepulcher exhibit at the Kimball and needed a Tex Mex fix. I'd bookmarked several suspects previously in this part of town. You can literally throw a rock down main street and hit a Mexican food place. So,away we went to the " hole in the wall" Los Asaderos. My detection method built up over decades goes something like this. Not readily apparent where to park- check Not straight forward where to enter- check Bars on the windows- double check Plastic flowers of unknown age- check No method to the madness inside - check If these total Yes,you're chances of scoring a decent Tex Mex appetite slayer of a meal are at least 80%. In Los Asaderos case 100% Overall atmosphere, service and price were good. Food was good. Not quite what the Yelp 4 star average would lead you to believe but decent. The fact that they charge for chips and salsa helped me round down my 3.8 to 3. Sorry guys but that's nit picky and non traditional. Greedy? Maybe. There are tons of other places but if you end up here it'll do the trick. read more

Well here we are again. I'm giving this business a lot of grace because we come here often. And I haven't been writing updated review on them. So since mom passed away, everything is pretty poor here! I mean food is still pretty tasty but the service, the expectations, the food presentations. They need a lot of work! The son of the owner is FREAKING LAZY!!!!!! Dad was working the kitchen today and he's in the front of the house being LAZY AS ALWAYS! If he's your server RUN AWAY and come back later or ask for better server. He's entitled. He NEVER EVER comes back to check on you. He avoids eye contact. He'll take your order and then sit down to play on his phone or watch TV. Then take food from the window throw it in your table and never come back. Sit back down to be on his phone. There are 2 servers that are very very good, tall white guy and one lady but the rest are TRASH!!! So if you are looking for great food but can overlook the service this is the place but sometimes even the tasty food can't overcompensate the service. We might not comeback for a bit. Oh and we also saw the son today took our server tip from our table and put it in his pocket! And he didn't clean our table at all. He just pass our table, pocket the $7 and left. And he did not even wait on us at all today! I hope that girl got her tip back! So that was the turning point for us for a while. Watch out for him when you leave cash tip for your server. read more

First of all, this place is a gold mine. Came here for lunch with someone who swore this spot had some of the best local Mexican food around, and I didn't hesitate for a second. From the moment the chips and salsa hit the table, I knew I was in trouble in the best way possible. It tasted like something your grandmother makes without measuring anything, just cooking straight from memory and love. I was told to try the menudo. Normally, that's a dish I approach with caution because it can be a little much for me, but she swore by it. One spoonful in and I wanted to walk straight into the back and hug whoever made it. No exaggeration. The flavors were deep, balanced, and comforting. You can taste the patience, the experience, and the passion it takes to make a dish like that the right way. The service was just as memorable as the food. Warm, welcoming, and genuine. You can tell this is a family affair, the kind of place where everyone cares about what comes out of the kitchen and how you're treated at the table. Los Asaderos Mexican Restaurant is the kind of spot that reminds you why local places matter. I'm already planning a return because there's no way I'm leaving this menu unexplored. This is comfort food done with heart, and it shows in every bite. read more

Chalupa plate excellent Chips and salsa. Yummy Chips, slightly thicker , that hold lots of salsa. Poblano echilada was good. The mole was cinnamon and choc, with sweetnees. I . - wouldn't order that again. Maybe get a green salsa or a chili sauce for it . Over all I'd go back. read more

I first came here back in the early 2000s, and even then the food and staff were always amazing. Fast forward some years, and I knew I had to bring my foodie husband. Since moving back to Fort Worth, this has become one of our go-to spots--and for good reason. The food is insane. The guisado is absolutely incredible, and the pork chop? Oh my goodness. I order the pork chop and eggs, and I've never had anything like it anywhere else. On Fridays they even serve complimentary caldo, which is so good I joked about ordering a whole bucket of it. Their chips and salsa are the best you'll find, hands down. There's a reason this little gem has been around for over 30 years--it's simply that good. read more

Inviting Mexican restaurant just a few blocks away from Fort Worth's historic Stockyards. The place is clean, hosts a full bar with ice cold Mexican beers that pairs well with traditional Mexican food. The salsa is hot and delicious. I had the chicken flauta plate with rice and beans. They were a little on the thin side but were still good. The wait staff was attentive and nice. read more

"If I had a dollar for every time someone told me that we have the best mole, I'd be rich." Our server was right. The mole was incredible and I typically don't love mole. I loved the mole enchiladas and the green enchiladas were good, too! Service left a little more to be desired - though it might have been the time of day we visited. Our server took our order and then never really checked back in. This is definitely a hole in the wall spot just outside the stockyards that is worth a trip! read more

Absolutely delicious! Everything! We were in the Fort Worth area and though I had been craving Mediterranean we thought we would get some street tacos which lead us to Asaderos and boy oh boy were glad we stopped by. In the heart of Stock yards this Gem is superb! The restaurant is small but quaint and busy for 3:00 pm on a Saturday. We were seated immediately and service was super fast. We opted to try their Salsa and chips. $3.00 and well worth it! Super tasty but HOT as hell. I loved it! I ordered the chick enchiladas Verde that came with some refried beans, Gauc and Mexican Rice. The enchiladas are other worldly. Soooo Flavorful. The refried beans were a huge hit and divine in taste and preparation and the Mexican rice was the best ever! My Sis had the Mexican Plate, a taco, beef enchiladas and a Chalupa. It arrived hot and she absolutely loved it. Needless to say a major Homerun! We will be back! read more

05/27/2024 1:45 Thursday. Stopped by after having heard good things about this place. It is small and I felt as if I had stepped back in time to my grandma's restaurant. Seat yourself and took a look at the menu. There are lots of options. The guisado came out quickly, the plate was pipping hot. The meat was so tender. came with flour tortillas. I will be back again to try more menu items. read more

Meh. I read the reviews and I ordered the guisado, but I was less than impressed. There are too many places within a few blocks that have better Mexican food. read more

We were on a road trip from Nashville to several cities in Texas including Ft. Worth! My friend wanted to eat at Joe T. Garcia's but I couldn't after reading all the reviews about the long lines and sub par food. So thankful to Yelp and all the reviews because we decided on going here and let's just say that my party of 4 was happy and stuffed at the end of our visit. They have a small parking lot and we were able to snag a spot when another guest was leaving. We were quickly seated. Everyone was wearing mask until seated. The staff was attentive and took our drink orders. They didn't have horchata so we all ordered margaritas and a coke. They only have them on the rocks (no frozen, no problem). The margaritas were perfect, not too sweet with a nice salt rim. We started off with queso flameado which is flamed asaderi cheese and chorizo. They served it with flour tortillas. This was an excellent dish to share and was a great way to prep us for our entrees. There isn't a lot of chorizo but we didn't mind. Then for the entrees, we ordered beef fajitas for one, combo fajitas for two, and chicken tamales. Everything was served hot and fresh. We absolutely loved everything. Our chicken and beef was a little salty but other than that, super tasty! The fajitas came with onions and bell peppers. They served us several flour tortillas and corn tortillas with our fajitas. It also comes with guacamole, Pico de Gallo, retried beans, and rice. The portion was large for two and we took the rest home for later. Everyone enjoyed their meals and margaritas. The staff were friendly and made sure we had everything we ordered. They forgot our shrimp but didn't charge us so we are good! You check out at the front when you're finished with your meal. They were awesome. The food, drinks, and service were top notch. So happy to support a locally owned restaurant that had fantastic food offerings! Can't wait to go back and hope you'll go visit this award winning hole in the wall. read more

Los Asaderos is a local favorite. The restaurant is cozy and aesthetic is simple with well-worn booths. The staff is always nice and the service is great. They serve the best fajitas and salsa in Fort Worth. The salsa is fresh made every day, so the heat level changes a bit. Sometimes it is really hot, but absolutely delicious. My husband and I go almost every week. read more

Some of the best chips and salsa in FW. Pretty spicy so keep that in mind. I always judge a Mexican-American spot by their rice and beans, and these did NOT disappoint! Very well seasoned. Also really really good margaritas- not too sweet or sour. Highly recommend this spot for lunch. Best $9 I've spent in a while. read more

I've been coming here since I was a small boy, with parents / grandparents / etc. It's one of my go-to's for comfort food and comfort space. Small, nice, easy-going. Very pleasant staff. My favorite dishes are the camarones asado and the fajita quesadillas (usually beef). I can't say I've ever had a bad meal here, though, whatever I've selected. read more

Food and service were amazing. Will definitely return . Best authentic Mexican food around.

It's a nice change if you're bored with cookie-cutter Mexican restaurants. I had the pork chops which tasted delicious but were a little dry for my tastes. Their queso is very different from what Americans think of as queso. The server warned us about it. It's hard and stringy. We decided to be adventurous and try it but alas, it wasn't for us. This is one of those restaurants where people don't talk much for some reason. There were five or six groups but it was almost unnervingly quiet. The margaritas were good. Prices were very reasonable. read more

Very disappointing experience. The food is okay and salty. The rice that came with my dish was under cooked so some of the rice was still raw and salty. We informed our waitres and she informed the owner (the fat guy) and he didn't offer to replace with or give us complementary chips and salsa to remove the charge as a friend ordered some rice as a side dish. Four of us ordered at the same time, and only three of us got our meals. The fourth meal did not arrive at the table until three of us already finished eating. We inquired and learned that the kitchen messed up and they just started cooking it and it. It took longer than we were told it would be ready so my friend told them to cancel the order. They said the ordered had been cooked so it could not be canceled. Then the owner (fat guy) charging our table with an attitude. I explained that our orders were placed at the same time but only three dishes made it to our table. We waited so long for the fourth dish that we had to cancel it because we had to leave as we had to be somewhere. Bad customer service. Food not good, salty, and under cooked. No reason to return to this restaurant. read more

Excellent lunch, awesome authentic food and wonderful folks who are friendly and fun.

Enjoyed our meal. The chips were good and salsa delicious. My daughter got cheese enchiladas with queso. They put cheese on top instead of a queso sauce. She did not like hers. read more

If you want to get away from the gobs of tourists, walk a few more blocks away from the stockyards- and you'll find this tucked-away gem. The service is friendly and quick- the salsa is HOT but you can't stop eating it! My kids wolfed down the enchiladas and my guisada was awesome . We took out-of-towners from LA and they loved it. I felt it more Mexican than "Tex mex". If you don't want to wait in line for 2 hours , go down the street- you'll be glad you did. read more

Food was amazing! I had chips and salsa and the salsa was some of the best I've ever had. I also had the chicken verde enchiladas. Once again the verde sauce was amazing. Beans were on point as was the rice. This has to be in my top 5 for best Mexican food ever. So why didn't it get 5 stars? Because they charge you for chips and salsa. read more

This place deserves a 5/5 for their food. OMG is it good! It is definitely a hole-in-the-wall that serves up some killer Mexican food. To start, the chips and salsa are ahhhmazing. The salsa has the right amount of kick, and I love the taste of cilantro in it. The chips are the perfect vessel for the salsa with little "bubbles" that help hold the salsa. Yumm. Everyone in my party ordered enchiladas, and we were each in love with our dish! I got the poblano (mole) chicken enchiladas, and I basically cleaned my plate. The chicken inside was moist and nicely shredded. The sauce on top was everything a good mole sauce should be. My mom ordered the enchiladas verde and loved it as well. Nooooow to the service. Gosh darn was it bad. The man (who I am thinking may be the owner) was so friendly and nice, but boy oh boy, the service overall was extremely slow and not good. We had to ask to order. Had to ask for refills. Had to ask for more salsa. Had to ask for silverware. Had to ask how to pay (*note: you pay at the front, and they will give you your total there). Etc. I am not really sure who are waiter even was. We basically just had to flag down whoever was close by in order to get what we needed. If the food wasn't so good, they would be getting a lot lower of a score from me. I think I will give them another shot and return in the future. Hopefully the service will be better! read more

We decided to try this little mom/pop Mexican place based off the reviews and well... Either the rave reviews were fixed or based on past food quality that no longer exists. EVERYTHING looked and tasted from a can or bag. The chips themselves were from large clear industrial cellophane bags that the grandfather carries in from the back. My wife had flautas while I had the menudo. Honestly, I was going to choose something more involved but after just seeing the food being served while we waited for a table made me decide to just order something inexpensive to at least not have the disappointment of ordering a pricey meal that was lackluster and mediocre. Glad I did because I wasn't wrong. The menudo was brought out and the server spilled some on the table and splashed onto my new shirt and my white shorts (I'm still working on trying to get the red of the 'caldo' out of them) . Before I ordered the menudo I asked if it was fresh scratch made or can. I was told it was scratch fresh and I don't believe it. The main ingredient, tripe was bland and soft in texture, not like I'd expect from fresh made. And, if there were 8-10 pieces, that would be about it. I thought they'd at least be heavy on the hominy but no. It was also sparing and the little there was was lost in a sea of broth. It really came off as canned menudo. I could've just stopped by any grocery 'Hispanic' section and gotten the same identical thing. My wife's flautas also looked store bought frozen that were buried under an avalanche of spicy cabbage. Just the most ordinary and unappetizing of foods. There aren't any pictures because it wasn't picture worthy. The men's restroom sink leaks from the trap onto your shoes and my wife told me that she had to hold the stall door closed using a makeshift tether of hair bunchies. Just wtf... We could've made the same meals using like kind store bought can and frozen materials for about $12 but instead paid $45 for defrosted and reheated "Mexican" foods while getting my clothes damaged with menudo broth. In closing, save the wait and money. There's a Fiesta market down the street. Just either go there and buy the frozen/canned items and make it yourself or eat at thier little 'tienda' inside Fiesta because their food is fresher and better than Los Asaderos. Obviously these other reviews saying "best Mexican" either have NO IDEA what good Mexican food is or damaged taste buds. Menudo Flautas (Mama's Special) read more

I've come here twice and been disappointed both times. This is not authentic food like they make themselves out to be. I wouldn't describe it Tex Mex either. Just bad inauthentic Mexican food. Skip the margarita too. It's the most boring tasting margarita ever at a restaurant. read more

The food was good but a little salty for my taste. Margaritas were so sweet that you had to water it down or Order extra tequila.

I had been here a couple years ago and decided to stop by but it isn't what it used to be. I wasn't greeted at all when entering and our waitress was in pajamas.. I ordered the enchiladas verdes, the rice and salsa were very salty. Won't be coming back again. read more

Tried this place on a whim and we loved it. The salsa is so good, has some heat to it but tastes amazing. Both meals were good, no complaints at all, saw a review about the food being salty and we didn't experience that, had to salt ours! Service was good, do wish we would've got more of their chips and salsa but was still pleased with it all! Will definitely be back! read more
