" This is a true hidden gem! The breakfast tacos are amazing with the most delicious homemade tortillas. The service was friendly and I felt very welcomed. It’s a cozy little place that gets busy, but it’s well worth the wait. Can't recommend enough for anyone looking for authentic and tasty Mexican breakfast. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve had a few hit-or-miss experiences here. While the ambiance is charming, there was a time when my order was incorrect, and I received the wrong taco. The staff was apologetic, but it was disappointing nonetheless. However, on my last visit, the food restored my faith! The barbacoa tacos were rich in flavor, and the homemade salsa was delicious! I'll definitely keep coming back in hopes of more satisfactory visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited El Original Asadero and was absolutely blown away by the food! The carne guisada was incredible, and the tortillas made me feel like I was back in Mexico. The service was quick and attentive, making for a wonderful dining experience. The atmosphere is charming, cozy, and inviting, making it a perfect place for families or just a casual outing. Highly recommend giving this spot a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Original strikes the right balance with its food! The empanadas were new to me and just made my night! The homemade tortillas were a lovely touch too. The vibe was chill and perfect for family and friends. I would say it's definitely worth a visit if you enjoy delicious Latin cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for El Original, but I left feeling disappointed. The meals were bland, and I could tell the food wasn't freshly made. The restaurant was clean, and the customer service was decent, but that didn't make up for the lack of flavor. I really wanted to enjoy my meal, but it fell flat. " (*Curated Review*)

" I am a huge fan of Mexican cuisine and El Original Asadero did not disappoint! Each dish tasted fresh and authentic. The tortas are a must-try! The service was quick and the atmosphere was enjoyable. I will definitely be returning to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
