Tu Asador Mexican Steakhouse - Castle Hills

Considering we came in at 830 on Sunday when they closed at 9pm (we really were those people; although a party of 4 was in front of us) they absolutely made us feel welcomed and did not rush us although we tried to rush ourselves. The waitress was nice and friendly and was considerate enough to see if we wanted dessert before they closed the kitchen for the night. The food was amazing. I've never had a baked potato with such a nice cooked crispy layer than was just made for eating. It reminded me of their complimentary chips which were also different but very welcomed. The steak was cooked to perfection. Overall, it was a great experience with the most delicious food that I've had in San Antonio. Check it out if you get the chance.

First time at Tu Asador, a Mexican steakhouse. We had an awesome experience. Regina, our server was outstanding, she gave us great suggestions. We had the prime picahna and New York strip with baked potato and grilled vegetables. They were cooked to perfection, sides were delicious too. Don’t forget dessert and try the mostachon. Thank your Regina for making our experience memorable.

Rare 5 stars from me ! Wow,this place is awesome ! from the moment we walked in we were greeted nicely. The place was slow as it was before the dinner rush. The potato chips and salsa brought out were quite tasty. We both ordered the ribeye steak. I ordered frijoles and my wife ordered fries. The beans were delicious. My wife did not care too much for the fries as they were dense. The steak....OMG....the steak. Perfect marbling. Perfect char. Perfect juicy taste. I love how they played it on the wood platter. With a little course salt on the side to season to taste. This is a definite go to place. It's not cheap. But the quality makes it ohhhhh so worth it. Definitely recommend !!

I would say the overall experience was about a 3/5. The food was all right don't get me wrong it was very delicious but the portions just did not match up to the price that we were paying I think it was about 33 bucks each and just for this little portion you see on the picture. Overall spent about $100 not including tip. The service was good and they were very attentive getting us refills and drinks and the waitress was nice too. I just feel like the portion size is not there when spending that much money honestly. It was basically like a one and done for us I'm not sure we would ever come back honestly. It was also very loud so not sure if that was normal or just the time we came.

Great atmosphere. Dishes were plated nicely and more importantly, prepared well and flavorful. Service was great however be prepared to wait as our meals took a while to come out and the chairs are hard wood so our backs were hurting a bit. 🤣

This is my favorite Mexican place in San Antonio. The drinks, food, and service is outstanding. I get the tacos Nuevo León and emplmes it never disappoints. PLEASE COME TRY THIS PLACE ITS WORTH IT!!! Also Tuesday is TACO TUESDAY come enjoy HALF PRICE delicious tacos!!

Highly recommended. From the moment we were created to the end of our meal the service was amazing. The Sirloin, Ribeye, and Arracheta was delicious. The Cerro de Sillo drink was so good.The dessert was to die for.

Every Friday, we like to try a new restaurant, and this place made it onto our list. I ordered the New York Strip with a baked potato and asked for the steak to be cooked medium. What I got was rare—blue rare, cold in the center. I cut into it to double-check and politely asked for it to be cooked longer. It came back 30 seconds later, looking exactly the same. At that point, I didn’t touch the food because it clearly wasn’t cooked to my liking. My partner picked at her food, and we decided to leave and find another restaurant. Before we left, our waiter, who was actually very nice, asked about the steak. I told him it wasn’t right, but no big deal, just bring the check. He kindly offered to speak to the manager (guy in cowboy hat) since I hadn’t eaten a bite. He returned and said the manager wasn’t willing to do anything about it. So we paid the $175 bill and left. I rated the service five stars due to the exceptional performance of our server. We’re now at Brasão Brazilian Steakhouse, enjoying a properly cooked medium steak, no issues here.

Great service and ambiance. First time here so took the waitresses recommendations. Food was very good (pricey but good)

I took my son, daughter-in-law and 2 grandkids for Father's Day. We were seated quickly which was very nice because my grandkids (1 and 4 years old) were already hungry. We ordered tacos, enchiladas, a kids plate that had steak and quesadilla and my son got a ribeye, sirloin and a tomahawk steak with few sides. They were quick to bring out chips which the kids gravitated to. After about 20 minutes of waiting for our food, I decided to take my grandkids out to the patio area to run around because they were getting restless from waiting. Then we went in thinking food should be out any minute but after a few more minutes, we took them out again. We waited OVER AN HOUR. The waiter claimed that the tomahawk steak took that long to cook, which would have been fine if given the option to get the rest of the food because by the time it all came out, it was all absolutely cold. Tacos were cold, enchiladas cold down to the center, quesadilla was stiff and meat cold... sirloin and ribeye were warm closer to cold and the only thing that was hot was the tomahawk. Kids didn't want their food anymore because it was bad. My son was getting upset so my daughter-in-law and I decided to stop complaining so we wouldn't ruin my son's special day anymore than it was from immediate reaction. I'm giving 2 stars because the tomahawks was hot.

I booked a reservation through open table, a credit card is required to put on file. If you reschedule or cancel/no show with less than 24 hour notice it is a $25 per person fee. We got seated right away even though we were 30 minutes early. Thanks to the nice lady who helped even though she wasn't our server. Presentation on the food was on point. The potato chips they greet you with were so addicting. The water glasses smelled weird though. Food was delicious, service was good but not amazing. Gratuity was automatically included, total came out to $132 all together. Restrooms were absolutely gross for such a nice restaurant. And that's was with us being there at the start of the day at 10:30 am.

Visited Tu Asador on a Tuesday evening with my partner. We were greeted warmly by the host, who was very friendly and made a great first impression. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and provided detailed recommendations, which we appreciated. I decided on the enchiladas suizas, while my partner opted for the New York strip. There were a few hiccups with our drink orders. I requested a Diet Coke, but it tasted like regular Coke. My partner ordered a ginger ale, but instead, the waitress checked his ID and brought him a shot of Jägermeister--quite unexpected! He also ordered a tamarind lemonade based on the waitress's suggestion but was served cucumber lemonade instead. We suspect a language barrier may have contributed to these mix-ups. As for the food, the enchiladas and steak were both good--no complaints there. Overall, it was a mixed experience. While I'm not sure I'd return, it might be worth a try if you're nearby and in the mood for something different.

Food is always top notch. My favorite is to get a tabla de carne, it's large enough to share or enjoy on your own. The staff is always friendly and knows how to make our experience there perfect. Love bringing guest and family here for a good dinner.

Food was horrible and the guy singing was making my ears bleed. Over priced is an understatement. Avoid at all costs.

We came here for an early dinner on a Saturday. The restaurant is in a strip mall with a large parking lot. We got in before the dinner rush and were sat right away. It got pretty busy by the time we left. We got complementary chips and hot sauce. Our server was great and made excellent recommendations. My wife got the enchiladas suizas and I got the sirloin and charro beans. We both enjoyed our food and the portions were huge. I liked that my steak came with a little pile of salt on the cutting board.

Food was good and very filling. I had the Monterrey drink which in my opinion was not that great. Next time I'll try a different one for sure. Our waiter was good. Good music but very busy and packed place.

The food is great. It was fresh and lots of flavor. Not a huge fan of the chips, but got a few apps and they were delicious. The sauce on the cauliflower was lick your plate clean sauce. Got several cuts of meat by weight and they were tender, juicy, and bustin with flavor. The stuffed jalapeños were cooked perfectly and they were fresh! The inside was nice and welcoming. But where do we go south? The service. I almost dropped this to two stars. Had to ask several times for ordered times and I did not get my margarita till my meal was pretty much over. The server kept apologizing but that does not make up for bad service when the delay was all on the server, like drinks. At the end of the day I tipped out $40 on a $200 bill (cause otherwise you are shamed) but most venues would do the decent thing and discount items for bad service. Most likely will not return.

The food here is absolutely amazing and the service is top notch! I'm a sucker for fresh guacamole and this place gives me just that. Who knew something so simple could be so delicious! The drinks are always on point. I hate going somewhere for "drinks" and what I order comes back tasting like juice. Koodos to the bartenders! The shot flights are an absolute must to try. The atmosphere is nice and cozy. Perfect spot for a date night or small gathering with family/friends.

For a norteno Monterrey vibe, check this place out. I had the enchildas regias and they are the closest to the ones I have eaten in Monterrey (Neuvo Leon, Mex.) Arturo was very knowledgeable and enthusiasticly presented the available meat cuts and style of preparation. I had only the enchildas today but I will be back to try the steaks!

I wish this were a better experience. I had heard wonderful things about Tu Asador and was excited to try it. We came at 6pm on a Wednesday. I empathized with our server because it seemed like he had a lot of tables and was all over the restaurant. We started with the chicharrones de bistec and they were lukewarm. It had good flavor but just surprising since they said they cook everything to order. I also ordered my little one's kids meal. He wanted the hot dog. It came out and the skin was crispy but the meat inside was cold when I cut it in half for him. It seems like they made it ahead of time and did a quick reheat. We had to flag down another food runner to get water and drink refills. Our waiter didn't write down our order and that was a sign that we'd be in for some surprises. I got the wrong dish for the arrechera but just kept it because the food took awhile to get out. My mom got a steak, but it was cold and overdone, so we sent that back and it came back 15 minutes later but it was delicious the second time around. I had the arrechera and it was just okay. Very fatty and not the melt in the mouth meat that I've had before when I was in Monterrey. The meat was lukewarm. The Frijoles (beans) were okay but again they were cold. My dad had the NY Strip and it was cooked and seasoned well. Overall, an underwhelming experience for a place that got so much hype and it's on the pricey side. I wouldn't mind paying for a good meal but this wasn't anything to write home about and nothing make me want to come back again. Everything was a la carte even the salsa (1$ for a small ramekin) and tortilla chips ($3 for small bowl). Again the server was friendly, but you could tell he was overwhelmed. Appreciated his efforts. $160 for 3 adults and one child not including any alcohol. We could get a better steak for less elsewhere. Glad I tried it, but again wouldn't come back anytime soon.

We have visited Tu Asador in castle hills on many occasions, some on the whim and more for special occasions as my husband is a fan of their meats, we decided to celebrate his 43rd birthday with our children. I have a toddler who has food aversions and eats a specific diet and we had her food with us and I mentioned this to the waiter before taking the food out and he said " well they let you in so it should be fine" so we proceeded with taking out her container of food from home so she could eat. Then about 10 mins in, we had a assistant manager come up to us stating " he doesn't want to be that guy, but no outside food is allowed" and that "I guess they would allow it to slide this time" but it was not allowed. I explained that we have a child who has sensory food aversions and doesn't eat anything from outside her specific diet and he still was not accommodating, so I basically told him no problem, I would be happy to discuss this with the manager...two seconds later a manger comes to our table and explains they don't allow outside food and drinks ( understandable) it's not like I came with bags of takeout from Olive Garden & Chick fil a, I came with a discreet stainless steel container with her scrambled eggs and some fruit--that's it. She proceeded to tell me that it's policy and that it's a liability issue regarding contamination of food, etc. --blah blah blah. So when they allow service dogs to come in, is that considered sanitary? Or contaminated? What about a breastfeeding mother trying to feed her child by breast or bottle? Is that considered contamination? A liability? A health hazard to society?!? So let me get this straight --those things are "A-ok" but when it comes to the right of feeding my child due to her special needs , I can't do that? So instead of having a memorable dinner with my husband and kids, my husband had to finish his dinner and take my child out to our vehicle so she could eat her food in the car. Thank you so much Tu Asador for the utmost hospitality & understanding. $300.00 down the drain and I will NEVER come back to your establishment. This type of restaurant has no business in our community.

Came here for brunch but ended up ordering off the main menu ( starts at 11am). The bar does not open until 11am so that was perfect. Per ordered the beef short ribs and asked for tortillas. The drinks were the Estanzuel (green drink), and the Bustamante (red drink). Both were amazing. The service was top notch. The ambiance was perfect for early lunch with mid to dim lighting. Peaceful music overhead. The patron population was mixed with young and seasoned. I recommend.

I have food allergies and asked that a certain topping be removed from my order. They refused. I was told that there were no substitutions. I explained I wasn't asking for anything to be substituted only removed. They refused so we left.

The carne has really good flavor! The only thing is that it takes a long time to get served sometimes.

Overpriced and underwhelming. The food wasn't great, and they charge for everything separately. I ordered a steak, and while the steak itself came out, any extras like tortillas, salsa, or condiments were an additional charge. Save your money and dine somewhere with better value and service.

Friendly staff. Awesome atmosphere. Delicious food. 10/10! Restaurant has good lighting, music, and everything else! Guillermo was amazing!

Traditional Mexican cooked steaks, asada, and flank steak? Yes please! Appetizers and fresh vegetables are equally as delicious. Pack your appetite, you are in for a world class dining experience.

Beautiful! Parking has to be the only reason I can't give it five stars because not enough ADA parking spaces. BUT the restaurant in itself it was beautiful! I'm a wheelchair user so I need the space and they had just that. I fit underneath their tables which is always a plus. The food was delicious our waiter was very knowledgeable and attentive. The music was great. Overall, I'd definitely say this is a place to stop by when you're in San Antonio for a nice fancy dinner, first date, birthday celebration.

Omg!!! This was such a wonderful place to have a delicious carne asada steak ! We had starters which was , short ribs as starters w guacamole n spicy salas , 3 kinds at that! Everyone on the table enjoyed their meal n were very satisfied w the results. We all had Rib Eye Steak dinner cooked to perfection. The waiter Adrian was super nice n very knowledgeable about food , cut n dessert w/o a menu . I highly recommend this place. Our vacation ended up w a spectacular meal .

Tried this place around lunch time and everyone was so friendly with lots of recommendations. Food was so delicious we will be back soon!!

Delicious Mexican cuisine! Unfortunately, I didn't try their steaks this time around but I'll save that for my next visit. Anyways, the food we ordered was mouth watering! For an appetizer, we got the quest flameado! So cheesy and delicious and paired with both flour & corn tortillas! For entrees, we got the enchiladas suizas & costillitas en salsa. The short ribs came cut up with the bone! And my enchiladas were perfection. Came with a small side of refried beans too! The drinks were also good too! The pina colada was chefs kiss! Lol. Overall, our experience here was one to remember!

I don't understand the concept of the place. They seem to be fancy but yet they served my lemonade in a to go cup. The flour tortillas were not homemade. The guacamole needed more flavor, only came with one wedge of lime and no salt or garlic. My food came on a cutting board, so my food got cold quick. Would have preferred that served differently. The meat was good but that's it. I know what a carne asada is and this is not it. Oh and they do not serve rice. The restroom was not clean, there were napkins thrown all over the floor. Could have fixed up the restroom a little more.

We went for a birthday dinner and when we arrived we heard loud live music. However, they seated us near the band, and OH MY GOD, the volume was overwhelming. It felt like we were at a concert rather than a restaurant. We couldn't have a conversation without shouting, which made it nearly impossible to enjoy our time together. As you can see in the video we just sat these eating the chips since we could not hear ourselves talking to each other. When the two-piece band finally took a break, we were relieved to be able to talk normally. But once they started playing again, all conversations turned into shouting matches. By the end of the night, we all left with massive headaches. If you're looking for a quiet, intimate place to celebrate a special occasion, this is NOT the place for it. Unfortunately, what should have been a great night ended up being a disappointment. When we were served our food it was warm not hot, another disappointment.

Like most people (I suspect), we came in due to their recent addition of breakfast/brunch menu options. I must say, we've been to plenty of Mexican/Hispanics restaurants, food trucks, etc, but this one does add something new to experience. This place is quite elevated. Dining tables and chairs are cozy but everything has an upscale feel. Outside seating is very nice, a garden effect with heated lamps and hanging lights. Water has bottle service and complimentary home made potato chips to start. We were seated quickly on a Thursday at noon and everyone was friendly, upbeat and attentive. I'd be remiss to not mention their house made salsa picante. It really has more zest and tang then heat but truly delightful and it turns out a little bottle is available for sale- we bought one. Ultimately, ordered the chilaquiles 'divorciados' with eggs- excellent option for trying both their red and green salsa with a pineapple mimosa. And my boyfriend ordered the Tacos Chicharrones (4) with fresh guac, onions, and cilantro. Needless to say, there was no room for dessert as the portions were perfect.

We went in on a Friday. First thing we got asked was if we had a reservation..got a little worried because we didnt but thankfully they were able to sit us. The waiter was super helpful in helping us with the menu since it was our 1st time. They had live music that was awesome and made the ambiance of the place great. The food was delicious. Will definitely be going back for dinner.

Wow! Excellent experience, definitely coming again! Ame todo lo que pedimos y los meseros super amables. 100/10, please try this place!

Absolutely delicious! This is a special place. Family owned and super authentic. The food blew us away but the drinks were spectacular. The attention to detail is second to none and I have already referred several people their way. It's the kind of spot you try once and it's automatically your new fav. Do yourself a favor and try this place out ASAP!

Food was delicious. Service second to none. Music was so pleasant. Place looks so comfortLoved it. But my abuelita pancha can make better beans than what we got. My date said they tasted like canned beans. I don't know. The beans is why I didn't give 5 stars but everything else was awesome. I would definitely come back.

V I had the pirata burrito and it was good. The vampiro drink was outstanding. The location had live music. Definitely going back.

Craving carne asada but don't feel like cooking and cleaning? Tu Asador is here for you! Tu Asador brings authentic Mexican carne asada to the comfort of your home (or their restaurant) and I am here for it. I grew up in the north of Mexico where every weekend families come together to cook carne asada or discada. It is a family tradition that gets passed onto generations and that is so unique to the northern Mexican culture. When I moved to San Antonio many years ago, this was something I would miss and crave every weekend, until I finally found Tu Asador back in 2020. Since then, they've opened a location which is absolutely beautiful and with a nice open kitchen concept. They now have a wider variety of Mexican dishes, but my all time favorites are still their charro beans, discada and their to-go packages. The meat they use is high quality and everything is cooked to perfection. There's not a single thing I don't love about their menu. You can tell they cook with passion and that they care about their customers.

I went yesterday and got the "experience" and while the food and the server were good, I ordered a French 75 (alcoholic beverage) and 2 servers a male and a female (neither my server) tried my drink. I sat and watched them stick their straw in the glass and pull it out and taste it along with the bartender. I told my sever the reason for me sending the drink back and not wanting anything at all and he completely understood and explained they taste new drinks to make sure it tastes ok. I suggested that next time pour a little from the mixer cup to a separate cup and taste it that way to avoid situations like this. As well as servers shouldn't be drinking on the job. At first I was not going to write a review but this was too unsettling not to.

One of the worst experiences I've ever had. Starting with the appetizer, which arrived AFTER the main course. The main courses, which were all a cut of meat, were brought cold. The waiter would bring the food, leave it on a platter behind us for 5-7 minutes, and then eventually bring it to the table. My dad's food never came and when the waiter brought the bill, he charged for the missing food items. When the issues were brought up to the waiter, no manager was brought to accommodate for the mistakes. I would NOT recommend this place and will never return.

Arturo was an amazing server and everyone in the restaurant was super friendly and attentive. Then the food. Absolutely amazing. We had a bunch of random plates and everything was fantastic. The restaurant treats you and feeds you like it's a fine dining experience but I was in t shirt and shorts and so were others. Super great place and welcoming. Can't wait to go back.

This place is a joke, and it's certainly not a good one. Came here for Mother's Day with the family, all of us left stressed and exasperated. They sat us in a high table at the corner of the restaurant right next to the server station and storage door. Cramped. The food was mediocre, and whoever set the menu prices had to have been on drugs when doing so, because they gave us LAYS CHIPS and VALENTINA SAUCE as an "appetizer". Which wouldn't be an issue if everything on the menu wasn't $26 to $275 a plate! Also this is a relatively small space in general, so it's crowded and loud. And just when I thought I couldn't possibly get any less comfortable, two grown men with instruments set up microphones and subwoofers and start yelling, playing the absolute loudest, most least pleasing chicken scratch I've ever had to suffer through. And at the end of it all, I left still hungry. I promise I will NEVER be back to this dump.

Service was really friendly, the steak was great and cooked perfect, kind of pricey for what we got. I'm not the biggest fan of potato chip and hot sauce but wasn't bad, and they beans were ok. The ambiance was nice

Been here a few times now and each time is astounding. It is pricy though. We like to order the rib eye experience. We've been recommended to order 1/2 pound per person but honestly the 1 pound doesn't get finished in one sitting. The grilled veggies and the baked potato are delicious. The baked potato is huge. This last time we ordered it, it had bacon and cheese. The jalapeño poppers were delicious but spicy as all seeds were still inside. Since the meat is cooked in a 2 step process, it helped to know what to order ahead of time to speed up the timing a bit.

Best happy hour in town! Ordered 3 appetizers between the two of us and couldn't finish it all. Ask for Arturo, he was one of the best servers I've ever had, super attentive, knew the menu well and gave excellent recommendations! Highly recommended!

Friendly service and of course great food. Bone marrow tacos are tasty and uniquely. I love to sit at their bar and watch their chef prepare all of the dishes.

Walked in hoping to feel a cool Mexican vibe, but it didn't happen. There are two dining rooms; one with regular tables, and the other room has high ones. Overall, there is no style or hint of Latino decor on the walls or tables. Black on black, is outdated. I can't forget the in house music coming from a speaker that sounded like my grandpa's jam box in the garage. It was killing me since I'm a musician and keen to good sound. We ordered beef and it a little tough to bite through with ease. At $35 to $45 pp, it should have been cooked perfectly. Sides were delicious. And the wait staff were great! Fix the meat, and we'll meet again.

Hidden spot in SA. Food was very good, margaritas were 5 stars and ambiance was pretty good. A little pricey but has good HH menu and prices. They were very attentive.

Tu Asador provides a pretty good dining experience and really hones in on what its namesake is which is grilling. We started with an appetizer of the chicharrón de ribeye and the costillitas de tajín. The seasoning on the costillitas were phenomenal and extremely flavorful and really should be a house seasoning. We ordered drinks and I had the Barrio Antiguo which was really good, think of a coconut-orange infused vacation drink but more sophisticated. For dinner we did the Tu Asador experience as a table and ordered the sirloin, ribeye, and arrachera (can only order 2lbs of meat total), and the sirloin and the ribeye were delicious with the sirloin being my favorite. For our sides we did the grilled (baked) potato with chorizo and cheese and grilled vegetables. The meats were cooked to perfection and all the food came served family-style on a large cutting board.

Was a delicious plate of arrachera meat I would definitely come again, Antonio was our waiter and he was attentive even when it was busy thank you Antonio!

Went to check this place out with my wife as we want to support local businesses and we were very pleasantly surprised. The food was absolutely amazing! A little pricey, but worth it as everything was prepared to perfection and delicious. Great cocktails as well. Staff was very courteous and professional. They took extra care to make sure my wife was not exposed to a specific food allergy in our dishes. They were playing live music the night we were there and I wish it hadn't been quite so loud as it did take away from the dining experience a bit because it was very difficult to hear the staff or my wife, but after dinner we did go over to that side and really enjoyed the band that was playing. Just a tip as well, even though the hours say it closes at 1 AM the restaurant part closes at 11 PM and the bar/ music part stays open until one. Extremely pleasant experience, will definitely go again!

We only recently discovered Tu Asador despite living just a couple minutes away. Since then, it has become our go-to restaurant. The food has always been great and they have my favorite margaritas in town. My husband always gets their steaks and has loved it every time. The vibe is great too - fun and welcoming and weekends they have live music. Highly recommend!

Visited Tu Asador. Happy hour didn't disappoint. Great food, great prices, and Arturo was excellent.

Service and food was great. Loved the fact Los Caporales were playing! (Made reservations at 6:30 we were all there on time, checked in, But had to wait in line. Some rude guy came in and pushed us out of way and staff didn't even step in. We should of been seated as soon as we checked in. They charge $25 per person if late or no show. But no we had to wait in a line with people that didn't have reservations. Obviously they need to get on top of their game. Management didn't even check on tables, they would in Monterey.) But, My Mom did enjoy her Birthday Dinner! Happy with the choice. Thanks Roy and your band !

I really enjoy my service and food. The recommendations given by my server Angela were phenomenal and worth the money. I would be coming back soon.
