As cavernous as the ballroom in The Shining, Asador's an open-kitchen, Brazilian walnut-floored, Latin-kissed bistro and tequileria, showcasing 100+ varieties in a floor-to-ceiling display, quaff-able at the concrete-topped bar or in the maple-walled "Library Lounge" (La Bibliotequila?). Accomplished with liberal use of deliciously primitive open-mesquite flames, the "farm-to-fire" menu starts with snacks like sticks of Tamarind Quail and Beef Fat French Fries before ramping up with two categories of mains: Market, featuring stuff like Winter Pear Salad (w/ Waco spicy pecans, local bleu cheese) and the Lamb Asador (roasted mutton sandwich on a grilled rustic roll); Large Plates include two chops, the Free Range Veal and the Niman Ranch Pork, with red pepper chutney and white corn grits -- whose quicker cooking time might mean Ralph Macchio is a murderer. To get you pleasantly destroyed, there's microbrew action (Dale's Pale, Rogue Dead Guy, Dogfish Midas Touch, 7 Texans...), plus the aforementioned agave spirits (from Sotol to 1921), served solo or in margs flavored with the likes of pineapple, pomegranate, and spicy elderflower, aka, what you hope will convince Orrin Hatch to have sex with you.
