About Us

Outdoor view featuring a vintage tractor and a wooden cart.

Over 6,400 guests have given El Asadero Mexican Grill a 4.5-star rating, and the reason shows up the moment the food hits the table. The smell of grilled meats, smoky spices, and fresh tortillas cuts through the air before the plate even lands. That is not an accident. It is the result of a kitchen that takes its tagline seriously: The flavor that transports you to our land.

The Rochelle Park location on West Passaic Street is part of a family of New Jersey restaurants that also serves Passaic, Fort Lee, and Secaucus. Each location carries the same identity: the cowboy spirit of a traditional Mexican asadero, where fire and seasoning do the talking. Reviewers call it out specifically, praising the authentic atmosphere and the kind of bold, satisfying comfort food that makes a table of eight just as happy as a solo lunch.

The kitchen runs from 9 AM through midnight every day of the week, stretching to 1 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. Whether you are settling in for a long weeknight dinner or wrapping up a Friday out, the grill stays hot.

What We Offer

El Asadero is built around the dine-in experience, and the menu reflects that. This is a full Mexican grill, meaning the food is anchored in fire-cooked meats, traditional preparations, and the kind of depth you only get when a kitchen actually cares about its sauces and seasoning. Guests consistently highlight the grilled meats, the Micheladas, and the tequila selection as standouts.

The restaurant handles large groups and families with ease, making it a practical choice for birthdays, celebrations, or any occasion that needs a table with real energy. The bar program rounds out the experience with beer, tequila options, and house drinks that pair well with the food rather than fighting it.

Dine-in is the format here, and the room earns it. Sit down, order the full spread, and let the kitchen do the work.

"I recently tried a local Tex-Mex spot and it definitely hit the mark for comfort food with bold flavor. From the moment the food came out, you could smell the mix of grilled meats, spices, and fresh tortillas. The queso was creamy and perfectly seasoned—honestly the kind you keep dipping into even when you’re already full. The tacos were the highlight for me. The meat was juicy, well-seasoned, and paired perfectly with fresh toppings like cilantro, onion, and a squeeze of lime. The rice and beans tasted homemade, not like an afterthought, which I always appreciate. Service was friendly and the vibe was relaxed, making it a great place to hang out with friends or grab a casual dinner. If you’re craving hearty Tex-Mex flavors, this spot is definitely worth checking out. ⭐ Overall: 8.5/10 — great flavors, generous portions, and a laid-back atmosphere."

"Fantastic Mexican food with authentic cowboy charm! 🤠 I had a wonderful experience at El Asadero Mexican Grill! The food is absolutely delicious—you can really taste the love and tradition in every dish. This is a family-owned restaurant founded by the Delgado Brothers, who wanted to bring the authentic flavors of their Mexican home to New Jersey . Everything is cooked over an open flame, which gives the food that perfect smoky, charred flavor . The atmosphere is so cool—it's cowboy themed with handcrafted wooden chairs, artisanal tiles, and pottery all imported from Mexico . There are even horse and bull statues for photos! It's vibrant, lively, and makes you feel like you've stepped into a rustic Mexican hacienda. Service was excellent too—friendly and attentive. If you go, I highly recommend the birria tacos with consommé for dipping (they're a crowd favorite!) . Save room for dessert—the flan is supposedly some of the best in the state ! Great food, cool theme, wonderful service. What more could you want? I'll definitely be back!"

"This spot on New Rochelle, NJ is great for large groups and kids. Service was a bit slow but the food was terrific. Great options for drinks: beer, tequila, and Micheladas. The places has an authentic Mexican feel to it thanks to it’s spectacular decor. Beautiful tribute to Dias Della Muertos. All the staff speak Spanish but can also speak English well. I had a mango sherbert for dessert which was unique for the tajin seasoning on it which I found to be strange but it didn’t spoil it. If you’re looking for quality Mexican food for your family, look no further."

"“Every Tuesday when we come to El Asadero, we always ask for John because he truly gives some of the best service we’ve ever experienced. He is always professional, attentive, welcoming, and makes every visit feel special. John consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect, and his positive attitude and attention to detail never go unnoticed. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares so much about the guest experience, and that is exactly why we continue asking for him every time we visit. El Asadero is very lucky to have someone like John on their team. Thank you again, John, for always making our dinners enjoyable and memorable.”"

"My husband and I have become quite the regulars at this location. It’s on our way in from work and we tend to stop by often on nights cooking dinner is out of the question. The food is great as well as the vibes. A special shoutout to our server, Jose, who happens be our server often since we like to booth sections. He is always delivering the highest level of attention you can hope to get a restaurant. Thank you so much Jose !!! You deserve a raise ☺️ @management 🤣. Don’t think about it give this restaurant a try."
