I'll admit it. Sometimes, I get tired of being charged 5 bucks a pop for a fancily topped aesthetically pleasing taco in a dimly lit restaurant. Pupusas and tamales aren't pretty and I don't care. They taste good. Sometimes, I want to just wear unattractive clothing (not that I often do) and eat authentic tacos that are cheaper because let's face it, I can't afford going to have $5 tacos all the time.
That's what you have at Tacos El Asador with their picnic tables indoors and the super laid back vibe. It's cute and more importantly I'm comfortable. I like that you get your money's worth (and instead of buying 2 $5 tacos, you can get 3 tacos for $11/12). I also like that I can get a bottle of corona with my taco and not have to choose a locally brewed special on the tap kind of beer.
But most of all, I appreciate that the food that I eat is coming authentic. I know someone out there is going to call me a racist but it's the same way that I'm a born and bred Vietnamese person and so when I go to Pho restaurants, I want to know that it's a Vietnamese run restaurant who knows what they're doing.
So if you're ever in the area and want tacos without feeling like you're not pretty enough for them (baby, you're always pretty for tacos) hit up this spot because it's awesome!
