Asadero Cocina + Cantina

Had an out of town guest stay at the hotel so we stopped by one day for the breakfast buffet. Overall a very good buffet. There was some interesting finds like egg and ham bites and captain crunch French toast. Definitely a first seeing those at a buffet. Everything was easily assessable and kept clean. The eggs were a little bland and the bacon could of been cooked a little longer. I was a big fan of the egg bites and sausage. Service was great and if you are hungry, it's a great price for what you can get.

Awesome service by Mia!! Amazing meal of tacos and beans. Lovely ambiance and gorgeous hotel.

Nice location, excellent service (staff was very attentive and helpful), and the food was pretty good for a breakfast buffet.

I was visiting the Doubletree and was blown away by Asadero, which is inside the hotel. First, the service was amazing. They only had one waitress and she was able to assist all of her many tables with a great attitude. The quinoa bowl was SO good and tasted so fresh. The tacos were also great. You can sit outside to eat, which is filled with greenery and is super peaceful. We didn't get any drinks but I saw them making some beautiful cocktails. Some of the food I've ever had at a hotel!

Came here with a group touring the Scottsdale Doubletree hotel conference area. We decided to eat lunch on property to check out facilities so found ourselves at The Asadero. The menu isnt acceptional so we all ordered various salads and sandwiches. I got a vegetable quinoa bowl with brussel sprouts, cauliflower and butternut squash. Oddly enough I didn't really see any of the cauliflower and the other vegetables seemed to be cooked but not seasoned so the entire meal was very bland. What could have been an exciting meal fell flat. All that, service was pleasant. If you are staying at the resort and need a bite you'll be fine. For anything else I would venture out and check all the wonderful restaurants in the area.

Came here for the breakfast buffet before checking out of the hotel. Lots of variety with both cold (cereals, fruits, etc) and hot (potatoes, eggs, bacon, etc) foods. There was even a waffle maker station! One of the better hotel buffets that have the basic breakfast foods with a few twists thrown in.

I didn't really have a problem here but they didn't wow me either. There was a woman who said yes to everything I asked but didn't deliver or follow up on them. A new employee was most helpful but he was new so he didn't have all the answers. I ordered a salad for dinner and asked if they maybe had French bread or a roll to accompany my salad. Yes to both. I received none. I was sitting at the bar and the woman was right in front of me the entire time but I couldn't get her attention. I was in a good mood so I didn't let it get me down.The next day I just had a glass of wine and yay for me they had a nice Rose. Typically priced for a resort hotel. There were not a lot of walkable places so I was fine just chilling in the bar with my Rose.

We stay at the resort 1 time a year, for a dance event. Last year, we ordered the carne asada nachos and they were awesome. This year, we ordered the beef nachos - not realizing it was steak vs beef. The beef was beyond salty and almost unedible. The cheese tasted and felt like fake cheese - like a cheese sauce, not real melted cheese.The salsa tasted like marinara - salsa w/basil, too weird for me. The wait was atrocious. We received a free dessert for our inconvenience. The wait staff was neither attentive nor helpful. We had to find water to refill our cups, after waiting 10 min for help. The restaurant was slow, so it should have been better attention.

Let's start off with the bar offerings which can only be described as abysmal. They have a drink menu with already limited cocktails available, and half of them were crossed off. Apparently this is because their bar (or whole restaurant?) is being revamped and a lot of items are being phased out. I settled for their blackberry jalapeño margarita. Big mistake. It is by far the worst cocktail I've ever had and I'm not even picky when it comes to cocktails... like, store mix margaritas are legit in my book. There was zero fruit flavor. The drink wasn't spicy but that half jalapeño garnish on the top of the glass kept rubbing against my straws and set my lip on fire. The marg wasn't sweet and tangy like it's supposed to be. It tasted like tequila with sour, salty water. $14.We had dinner with my fiancé's coauthor and my MIL, both of whom ordered their special of "blackened" seared tuna with ponzu and creamed spinach. The server (didn't catch her name) was super friendly and attentive, though she seemed a little nervous and confused. When asked what ponzu was, she said it was a creamy soy sauce which, while true to the dish, isn't really what ponzu is. The tuna was supposed to be rare on the inside. Looking at their food, it looked like the tuna was almost cooked through in some parts despite being an evenly cut piece of fish. My fiancé ordered their NY strip with taters and asparagus. It was dressed in a demi-glace and very tender and flavorful. I think it's the best dish of the night. I had the braised short ribs with green chili mac and cheese and broccolini. The short ribs were coated in the same sauce as the steak. The mac was creamy and pleasant to eat with the ribs, which were fall-apart tender. The broccolini was cooked perfectly. Their dinner menu boasts a "market fish special of the day". My MIL had dinner here the night before with someone else and when she asked about the fish special, she was told it was a "beef filet with asparagus and wine sauce" LOL. Don't bank on it being fish.I had a Maker's on ice during dinner which meant an entire glass full of ice and very watered down bourbon by the time it made it to the table. The bar needs serious work.

Another mediocre hotel restaurant that is overpriced. The food here is awful. The sandwich was so bad and dry and lacked flavor. The steak was over cooked and after one bite I didn't even want to continue eating it so I sent it backZ. The bread pudding was some of the worst I have had in my life. Dry and bad texture. The wings were okay and looked better than the sauces were. The only thing I liked was the green chile Mac but for $6 getting a portion that is a 1/4 of an entree size was disappointing. I would not eat here again. I gave it 2 shots/. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and for that they get 3 stars.
