What to Eat at El Asadero Passaic: Verified Dishes, Menus, and Sizzling Reviews
By Sarah Jenkins
Ordering for a group requires a different strategy. The signature move at El Asadero is the parrillada platter, a sprawling presentation served on elevated tabletop warmers designed to keep multiple meats hot throughout the meal.
A standard parrillada incorporates a generous meat sampler:
- Slices of citrus-marinated carne asada
- House-made chorizo links split lengthwise and browned until crispy
- Marinated chicken cutlets with charred grill marks
- Salt-cured cecina beef with deep, savory depth
- Blistered whole jalapeños (chiles toreados) and scallion bulbs (cebollitas)
The platter comes flanked by shared bowls of pinto beans, seasoned yellow rice, lime wedges, and stacks of fresh corn tortillas. A single medium platter comfortably feeds three to four adults, making it one of the most cost-effective orders on the menu for gatherings.
