Tu Asador Mexican Steakhouse - Castle Hills

Gave this place a shot due to the reviews. I usually don’t think ‘steakhouse’ when I think about Mexican food but this place is legit. I started with the Monterrey cocktail and a side of Tajin ribs. The cocktail was amazing, tasted just like a rellenito tamarind Mexican candy. Just watch out, they’re so good it’s easy to forget how many you’ve had lol The Tajin ribs were disappointing. The Tajin is just too harsh and salty to properly enjoy the flavor of the meat. I can see why a beer pairing is recommended, however I’d rather have a good tasting $25 appetizer than a well paired $5 beer. Yes the rib appetizer runs $25, I’ll get to that later. For my main, I got the sirloin steak served on a cutting board and the steak volcanos. The meat was really tender and full of flavor. Side of guacamole and 2 quesadillas came with the order, but no tortillas at all. I asked for 2 corn tortillas and got charged extra which was very nickel and dimey given the $33 price tag. Overall the food was very delicious along with the cocktails, but the price tag is waayy too steep for the portion size. I ended up spending $300 for a family of 5. Going to a Brazilian steakhouse like Fogo de Chao or Texas de Brazil costs about $225. I still recommend trying out Tu Asador at least once, but make it a mom and dad trip ONLY, it’s not worth it bringing the kids and having them not like the $25+ meal you get for them.

Did a birthday dinner for party of 9. Final bill was short of $700 including gratuity. Overall experience was great and will come back. We ordered a few things that was not necessary (see last comments) but also prices are just steep. We did the Tu Asador Experience where you order what meats you want and they place it on a large board for family sharing. No issue with the price of meats and they were good and cooked perfect. Food came out timely and it was a free for all. Dessert: we ordered the Mostachon and those were so good, each plate was cleaned out. The atmosphere was nice and didn’t get loud. Since it was on a Tuesday, it was not too busy but I can see this place get packed. What made it pricey: - lemonade was $10 plus $1 for flavoring (example cucumber lemonade) - papas asada where I think the baked potato was $9 as a starter but they charged $4 for bacon and $2 cheese. - salsa sampler $4 was not needed and best to go with chimichurri de piquin $3 (we ordered both) Theres more but don’t want to scare who is reading this. I just warn you to watch what you order so as not to pay more.

What an amazing experience. The appetizers the main course the drinks and dessert was Exceptional. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely we will be back.

Our server was absolutely amazing — he took care of our every need! The food was worth every penny, and the dessert topped with fresh strawberries was the perfect finish. 🍓🍮 The drinks were on point too — beautifully made and delicious! 🍹 Highly recommend! This was our second time there.

As someone originally from Monterrey, I can confidently say Tu Asador truly understands and honors the real “carne asada” experience. The meat is always fresh, perfectly seasoned, and consistently cooked the way it should be. The service is excellent every time. The staff is always checking in to make sure you’re not missing anything and that everything is just right. The drinks are great as long as you know what you’re ordering, and if you don’t, the staff is more than happy to recommend popular options. My personal favorites are the Cola de Caballo and Presa La Boca. The menu offers a nice variety, but their specialty is definitely the tablas, which are perfect for sharing and really showcase what they do best. Overall, even though it’s on the higher price range, it’s absolutely worth it. On top of that, they frequently have events and specials going on, which makes it even better. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

A Perfect Start to Our Wedding Weekend! We hosted a happy hour at Tu Asador for family and friends staying at our nearby host hotel to kick off our wedding festivities, and it exceeded all expectations! The food and cocktails were a huge hit with everyone – the authentic Mexican flavors and quality steaks impressed our entire group. The atmosphere was absolutely wonderful – warm, inviting, and festive with just the right energy for bringing our loved ones together. It was the perfect setting to help everyone relax, mingle, and get excited for the weekend ahead. The ambiance really made everyone feel welcome and set such a positive, celebratory tone. After dinner, they gave my now wife and I a cake to help celebrate our occasion! Thank you to the team at Tu Asador for helping us create such a memorable evening. You gave us the ideal start to our wedding weekend, and our guests are still talking about both the delicious food and the great vibes!

Amazing Mexican steakhouse with a lively vibe. There is usually mariachis that perform during dinner so call in to confirm. The staff are really knowledgeable and check in on you frequently. We ordered one of the boards that you can select different cuts of meat and various sides. The baked potato was surprisingly good and a highlight of the meal. The cauliflower is in a lot of posts from here so we had to try it too. Highly recommend!

Visited Tu Asador for the first time off a friend's recommendation. I'm really glad we stopped by. Cocktails and food had so much flavor. We had light bites and tacos. Our server, Angela was very welcoming and shared the family story of the restaurant. Great drinks, food and customer service.

This place is top tier the chef knows how to cook fantastic meat the food here is excellent the service is always spectacular the only thing I beg the owner to please add salads to the menu it's all that is missing, great food, great service from the second you walk in nice ambience very attentive. Photos to post coming up

I was visiting San Antonio and I found myself craving a good steak, but not from fancy restaurant like Ruth's Chris. The front desk at my hotel recommended Tu Asador, which I am glad they did. The staff welcoming and hospitable. I was seated quickly with my drink order taken and chips brought to the table. The service was great throughout my visit (no complaints). The atmosphere was elegant and comfortable all at once. While there aren't any white tablecloths, the resturant would be good for date night as well as family outings. I ordered a glass of the house red and since it was happy hour, I received a free appetizer. Today's was chunks of grilled beef with a tangy bite - all good. I ordered the "Experience" with ribeye (always the best cut in my opinion) and grilled vegetables. The meal was served on a wood cutting board, which added a nice accent to the meal. The meat was cooked well, but did have some tendons (which is not uncommon with ribeye cuts). The veggies were spot on and the quesadillas complimented the meal well. All-in-all, this place scratched my itch. If I actually lived in San Antonio, I would certainly visit this restaurant again and again.

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

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.

I made a reservation well in advance and was seated almost 20 minutes later. I was told twice that they were going to clean a table... the second time they finally did. The front area was very crowded with frustrated customers. I did not enjoy my meal because the mariachi was playing the WHOLE time. It was deafening and I did not feel like I had any privacy during eating my meal because they stand over you and the instruments are close to the table plus we were in the middle of the room... I will say the food was really good and great price for what I ordered: the grill veggies and ribeye.

Class A price deserves class A service. We were at this establishment to celebrate my wife's sister's birthday with part of the family. Normally we try to celebrate at a different restaurant for each family members birthday, and this was our first time at this establishment. Normally we know what we want and order it with no problem regardless of the establishment. Maybe the waiter was having a tough day or evening but he seemed impatient as if he didn't want to fully help us understand. I asked for a glass of water and received it 40 minutes after I asked. I know because my wife timed it as always. Then we asked for a manager and voiced our concerns for the extreme delay and our food came as soon as he got to us. My sister-n-laws platter or whatever it was called with sirloin and ribeye was tough and I felt bad because ribeye is supposed to be tender and not tough. They shared this with the waiter and he let the kitchen know and they gave them another platter. Our chicken was okay and the beans as well as the green vegetables were good. The ambiance was nice and I believe there used to be an Italian restaurant here years ago. Be sure to check your ticket and make sure the waiter has the right items and amount on your bill.

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.

One of our favorite places to eat in San Antonio. Always great food and service, this place never disappoints

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.

The food was absolutely delicious! I loved the chips with Valentina sauce to start and the Volcanes de Arrachera tostadas were amazing. Paired it all with a refreshing mineral water and lemonade -- 10/10 experience.

Haven't had anything here that we didn't enjoy. Every dish has been a hit drinks are good and so is the service. They have breakfast, lunch, & dinner which makes them fit for any time of day. If I had to choose some favorites I'd say the costillitas al tajin, arrachera, & picanha barbacoa definitely have us in a chokehold; we've returned for them countless times & the bone marrow is an amazing addition to anything here, but especially the barbacoa. (We like to give our dogs the left over tuetano to enjoy, they sure appreciate it). There's now a second location which we haven't been to but plan to stop into soon!

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.

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.

Antonio was awesome he gave great recommendations and answered our questions. The ambiance was relaxing and family friendly. Food was delicious

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

The steak was tender, flavorful and cooked to perfection! Our server, Arturo was professional, helpful and friendly. An excellent experience.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

Amazing appetizers and drinks. The service was outstanding also. Loved it all, can't wait to go back!!

Muy rico todo!! Everything was very good. The steak had amazing flavor and the service was beyond great!

great food and service. nice atmosphere, friendly server. Would come again. Complimentary picture and desert for bday

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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!
