Tacos El Asador

If you’re craving authentic flavors and a cozy Mexican vibe, Tacos El Asador is your spot in Toronto. Located at 689 Bloor St W, this welcoming taqueria keeps it simple while delivering big on taste, making it a favorite for locals who just want good tacos without the fuss.

The moment you walk in, the warm scent of freshly grilled meats and spices hits you, letting you know you’re in for something satisfying. It’s a place where you can drop in for a quick bite or settle down for a casual meal with friends over small plates and cold beer. Tacos El Asador serves dine-in if you want to enjoy the lively energy, but they also offer takeaway and delivery for those evenings you’d rather enjoy tacos on your couch.

Their offerings hit the right balance for a quick lunch or a laid-back dinner. Besides the tacos- which are the stars here- you can also find other Mexican staples that cater to those looking for healthy options while still wanting something hearty. If you’re in the mood for a small plate to share or need a quick meal between errands, the options here are satisfying without feeling heavy.

Another thing you’ll appreciate is their drink selection. Tacos El Asador serves alcohol, beer, and coffee, so you can grab a cerveza to pair with your tacos or end your meal with a warm cup if you’re dropping by in the afternoon. It’s the kind of spot where you can grab a beer and a taco and feel like you’ve had a moment of pause in your day without breaking your routine.

When you’re looking for an easy, flavorful meal that feels local and true to its roots, Tacos El Asador brings a piece of Mexico to Bloor Street West with each bite, one taco at a time.

Absolutely loved our experience. Have walked by here countless times and ducked in as we were craving tacos and we were the furthest thing from disappointed! A wonderful family owned business. Our server was so friendly and helpful. The music was fun and added to the vibe. The shrimp taco was the best I've had to date! I also love fried plantain and theirs was so perfectly caramelised. Can't wait to come back, will be recommending this place left, right and centre.

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.

I used to come here all the time because I loved it so much. Haven't been here in few years but I’m glad I finally made it back today. Got this massive veggie burrito for only 10. So yummy! I might come back again tomorrow :-) ((couldn't even wait to get home to eat it ))

Semi spacious / cozy dining area. friendly and chill. Great tacos and tamales. Very filling after four tacos. Very welcoming staff (they're lovely and wonderful if you're wondering), quick service, good atmosphere. 05/02/2025: Time and time again has Taco El Asador proven they know what they're doing. Tried the All-day breakfast platter this time (can't forget the Corona!), delicious with every bite. I highly recommend you try this out.

BEST TACOS IN THE CITY. This is literally the best tacos you can find in the city hands down. The Birria tacos are so perfect, the gravy that you can dip it is so good. We will be back for more.

This is a local gem. The fish taco and pastor taco were both really good. Fish taco was my fav. Hot sauces were good too. And what everyone’s saying about the guacamole is true- it’s top notch.

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 :)

The server was nice Good vibes especially if you love the Toronto Raptors The food was delicious, although I wish I could've dined in bc the sauce was leaking (but the bag protected it at least) and the hot sauce is SPICY! Might come back, Would recommend!
