Tu Asador

Well this place was much fancier than I thought it would be. We were pleasantly surprised at the decor and atmosphere.Guillermo, our waiter was funny and attentive.I had the Tabla de Carne Asada, sirloin, and my wife had enchiladas suizas.Both were very authentic and well prepared.Great new place to put on the list for anyone who loves authentic Mexican cuisine.100% recommended!

We came for restaurant week and had the complete opposite experience than we had before. Waiter had no clue about the restaurant week menu. He did figure it out eventually and we ordered. My cauliflower appetizer came out first and was amazing as always. Then my husbands came- it was the queso- a hot pan with melted cheese, onions and Jalapeño. (It was delicious btw) We had no clue what we were supposed to eat it with. Since our waiter was busy catering to his large tabletop- we flagged down another employee who said we were supposed to have tortillas. By the time we received the tortillas, our meals came. Both the sirloin and the short ribs were wayyyy over salted but good. But since we still didn't see our waiter, we just ate it. Half way through the meal- my husbands onions came out. Ridiculous. Then came the desserts. OMG! And not in a good way. I felt like I had Covid all over again! Neither had any flavor. The pistachio dessert was basically the same thing my mom made in the 80s. Only this one had old canned chunks of pineapple and no flavor. The Nutella dessert had half of a rock hard cookie. I don't even know what flavor it was... I did eat the topping which was a cream cheese and flavorless Nutella mousse. But there was a faint hint of cream cheese so it was the better of the two. I still don't recommend it though. I was surprised to see our waiter since he spent 99% of his time at his large party and basically ignored his other 2-3 tables. He asked which dessert was our favorite and we both said neither- they were both bad. He said oh sorry and then asked if he could get us anything else. Hard pass. The bill came, we paid and drove home. I 100% do not recommend getting the restaurant week menu. It's a better deal to order everything separately.Although everything except for the desserts were good, the service was really really bad. I mean like really bad! I'm hoping tonight was a fluke but we won't be asking for that waiter anytime soon.

We went to the newer Encino location. It was quite dark and not super busy when we arrived. Overall the location was clean and easily accessible.Our server had great recommendations on drinks and food to order since it was our first time there. We obviously got what he recommended to try it out.We went with queso as an app and the table experience they are known for. The queso was less of what you expect but more of what you want. Melted cheese with meat, paired with flour tortillas that taste like they are hand pressed and cooked.The experience was exactly what you want if you're looking for a meaty meal. Multiple different meats, seasoned beautifully paired with some sides (guac and stuffed jalapeño) and flour tortillas again.Overall, excellent experience! Will definitely be back.

Ruben was our amazing waiter, music was jamming and wonderful food!!!Definitely returning

Went for dinner on a Thursday evening. First impression is the parking lot was dark and not very inviting. We walked in and there were only three other couples in a fairly large space. We were seated promptly, our server greeted us and took our drink order. After he brought the drinks, he told us a little bit about the restaurant, family that owns it, and then discussed the menu. Wife and I both opted for the picanha.... He recommended the cauliflower to go with. Our steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly, Absolutely delicious. The roaster garlic (whole bulb) was amazing. But, I think the cauliflower was the best item on the well presented platter! Absolutely a must try! I was a little surprised at the cost of the cauliflower ($14), but will absolutely order it again!We will definitely put this into our regular rotation. Only four stars due to the location and parking lot. Everything else was 5 star quality!

I'm super excited that someone new is in this spot. I know this spot is kind of hidden away and you have to want to come over here to be over here. Well, this place is something to come for. Food was great. We did "the experience" and selected a bunch of things to add. The server was kind and helpful to walk us through it. Meat was good. I was very impressed by the sirloin. They had live music (we were there on a Friday), and that was fairly loud but we weren't screaming. And it was in "the lounge" so we weren't directly by it. We got margs which were pretty good. The frozen machine had just been finished, so I got one on the rocks and it was made well. Maybe a little syrupy, but not bad. The big one was pretty big. It's a steakhouse primarily, I'd say, so you're going to pay like a steakhouse, but we were expecting that. We'll def come back.

Welcome to the neighborhood! Went to the new Encino Rio Tu Asador tonight. Complimentary house made potato chips with tangy sauce. Outstanding appetizer: Broiled cauliflower- yes really! Absolutely the best cauliflower I have EVER tasted. Hubby had a fabulous (and huge) beef sandwich, I had enchiladas suisz. Both outstanding. The refried beans were flavorful and dusted with queso fresca. Everything was beatuifully plated. They just got their liquor license and now have an full bar. Service was attentive and we were checked on regularly, iced tea filled without having to request more. Private party room for about 30-40 people. Will open a covered patio soon. Just off 281 north at Encino Rio. See you again, soon!

Sooo yummy !!! Such a cute place ! This place feels cozy and great for family dinners!

WOW! What a fun and tasty treat. Our first time coming but it will definitely not be our last. From the service to the ambiance, all was amazing. Since it was our first time, we were walked through the menu and how it was served, just beautiful. Loved the layout, although, the booth seats could be a little closer to the tables. The portions are very satisfying (nice way of saying big) and I really liked the tequila Bloody Mary, yum. I can't wait to go back.

Very yummy! Enchilada suizas! We had a great meal with super friendly people. Guac was fresh. Tacos were delish. Fresh.
