El Asado Mexican Grill & Meat Market — Restaurant in Cathedral City

If you're in the mood for authentic Mexican cuisine, El Asado is a hidden gem that deserves a visit! Tucked away as a charming hole-in-the-wall, don’t let the modest decor fool you; the real star here is the food. Each dish bursts with flavor, showcasing a perfect balance of spices that will leave your taste buds dancing with delight.

While the service is solid, it doesn’t quite reach extraordinary heights. However, the quality of the food more than compensates for any service shortcomings. Though the prices lean towards the higher side, the generous portions and exceptional flavors make it well worth it.

A must-try is the "Christmas Style" sauce, which combines both the green and red varieties. It’s a tough choice to make between the two, so why not indulge in both?

Don’t forget to explore the market next door, which shares the same name. They offer farm-fresh meats that are free from hormones and antibiotics, making it a perfect stop for quality ingredients.

Overall, El Asado is a delightful culinary experience that I highly recommend. Enjoy the food, embrace the flavors, and don’t overlook the market—this spot...

My friend and I were in PS for a few days of a warm getaway. We wanted sun and a few good dinners out. El Asado Meat Market and Mexican Grill had 4.3 stars on Google and we like good Mexican food. Not over cheesed, heavy chain Mexican, but fresh authentic Mexican. Well, this place is beyond "good Mexican food"!!! We ended up eating here 2 out of 4 dinners in PS. THAT'S how good this place is. I've never had such great quality food in a Mexican/Latin restaurant . It's a modest place which can mean secretly great or meh...Happily it was the former. I don't know what they Do to that meat but it's outstanding! This is Not your typical Latin fare. Order something off the house specialties menu. We had 4 separate things over 2 nights and we had bites of each other's food and couldn't decide which was the best meal because it was ALL so good. We had a different server each night and followed their recommendations, which were good. They were both well versed in the menu and perfectly described to us the differences and nuances of the food they serve. My friend said even the glass of cab she...

Started by checking out the meat market. Small grocery items with a diverse selection of peppers, tomatillios etc. small meat case with some nice cuts. I saw some shin of beef that would be great for Osco Buco... I don't usually find that at the larger grocery stores... The restaurant next door was also a pleasant surprise. Clean and OK decor with a large menu of some unique and interesting dishes. It was hard to choose. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. I ordered a marrow burger. Hamburger with grilled onions, cheese and grilled tomato with a bun rubbed with marrow. Served with fries and a split open bone with marrow... unexpected and delicious. My dining partner ordered the flautas. He said they were excellent! Very much looking forward to going back and trying some of the other items on the menu. One drawback is they only have a beer and wine license so no alcohol/margaritas. Their homemade salsa had a kick and...
