| - Asadero is located in kind of a sketchy area. Despite looking like a converted fast-food restaurant with an order counter, you can be waited on by a server if you decide to dine in.
I opted for three tacos (carne asada, barbacoa, and cabeza), while my girlfriend ordered both an asada and barbacoa. They make their own flour tortillas here, so we decided to choose flour over corn.
First of all, the consistency of the tortillas were very soggy and goopy. The carne asada was pretty standard and really no different than what you'd get at any other run-of-the-mill place. The barbacoa, on the other hand - are you serious? I have no comment on the cabeza. I've never tried it before and I'm pretty sure this wasn't the safest place to actually give it a go-around. It was one of those rare instances where neither one of us finished our tacos.
The quesadilla was edible, while the beans would serve me best if I had a feeding tube in my stomach and had them served to me via syringe. But for traditional dining? Not so much. I'm sorry, but "liquid beans" just don't do it for me.
Unfortunately, the inclusion of MexiCoke was not enough to save this atrocity of a restaurant.
Based on the Yelp reviews, if this is what people claim is "real" Mexican food, then I'll gladly continue going to the "fake" places like La Santisima and Tacos Chiwas that seem to know what in the hell they're doing.
Big fail!
