El Torito Asador

My second time here and it’s by far the best Mexican food I have found in the Grand Rapids area!

You can’t go wrong here!
Try it!
Hospitable and generous staff, family feel, and delicious authentic Mexican food! Generous portions & great prices.

Definitely grab a Horchata (delicious rice & cinnamon drink), which is a complement to the happy spice of the homemade salsas atop their fresh fried tortilla chips! The al pastor (marinated pork) is the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve had tons in Mexico, California, & Michigan! The asada (steak) is delectable as well. It’s fresh food grilled to order, never frozen & dried like the other guys.
We love everyone who works here. They work with unusual diets like mine & are very kind about it.
You won’t regret a visit!

I had lunch here with some friends and the food was great. The menu is short, but not lacking in options, and the grill outside smelled awesome. I had the 3 taco combo with al pastor for meat, and the tacos were delicious. Their green salsa packs a bit of heat. Their drink sizes are surprising; I got a medium horchata but it was at least 24oz (if not 32oz). A large drink must be huge. This restaurant is a good option for Mexican food in the area.

This place has amazing steak fries! Friendly staff & they used to be located inside the mega mall at 28th St & Madison but have moved to the strip mall Grand Central Plaza off 28th St.

Came in on a Tuesday afternoon, to an empty with a nice family sitting at a table. A polite young man quickly took my order with a smile on his face. The kitchen and server instantly had my delicious asada tacos, with rice and beans, out to me. Great authentic restaurant with a cozy family vibe, quick. And friendly service, and delicious homemade mexican food!

This is one of our favorite places!! The chips are divine and the burritos are amazing!!

Amazing food and service, one of my favorite places to go in town

Their nachos are the best around. Tortilla chips that can handle alot of toppings without breaking are what makes it for me. The tres leches cake is also amazing!

I’ve been going to this place since they have been in the mega mall. This is the only place I will go to have some amazing Mexican food.

All the good was great and the staff was friendly. I'll definitely be back.

Our favorite spot in GR. They recently started selling baked goods and deserts that are to die for. 10/10!!!

Everything was absolutely amazing! We ordered chips and salsa and they were served fresh and warm... so soooo good! Steak tacos were my lunch go-to and let's just say I can't wait to go back! Family owned and it shows in the flavor and quality of their food!

Small restaurant. Fresh chips. Steak platter very well seasoned

Got two tortas cubanas. Me and my girl fell in love with the whole dynamic from customer service to whole quality… fireee stopping by again next time we come back from Chicago

Moved from Arizona near the border and we have been searching for the best Mexican food; the kind we are used to and we FINALLY found it!
The flavors and textures are spot on!
The people are kind and we will be back even though it is a drive for us it is well worth it!

The best made in house chips I've had in this city! All the food was very good. The server was nice. The interior is a little bare bones but it was clean and the food is so good you won't mind! They do a lot of take out service too.

The food we ordered was delicious!

Very good service n the food even better 😩😩😩🫶🫶 if yall ever come across this spot i recommend the torta cubana !🫶

We come here at least once a week, absolutely delicious and the prices are great too. My food always has tons of flavor, usually when we get home with out food we eat in silence because it's so good that words cannot describe how amazing it is.

Absolutely love it here. Great authentic food. They have the best Tortas I've ever had in GR.
