Stumbled into this place because it was close to our Airbnb. Loved it and will be going back! You order at the counter and then they bring you the food. Great place if you have kids because it's casual and quick, and the food is delicious. We didn't have margaritas but they looked awesome and were $10. We'll get one next time! Everything we ordered we'd order again except the tacos: chips and large guac (tons of guac and came with warm salsa also, this is a must order and a deal for $11!), short rib asada bowl, grilled mahi tacos (okay but tiny little pieces of fish and would not order again), street corn (on the cob if you're into that, great flavor,). The table next to us had a massive burrito and the short rib nachos and I would order those ext time because they looked so good!

This place was very clean and trendy. The workers were very kind and helpful when ordering. You do order them seat yourself which is nice. My wife and I came to eat here for lunch around 3 pm on a Thursday and there was a lot of sun inside the restaurant..I ordered the Asada bowl which was pretty good and my wife ordered a burrito (plain). We waited a while to get a refill which was unfortunate but once we flagged down a waitress we received good service. I would eat here again.

This is one of the best Mexican restaurant we've been to. Not only do they have great service, but their food is so deliciously good. They're located right across from Laguna Beach in front of the Pavilions plaza and next to a pizza restaurant. We ordered the birria tacos plate and the tres amigos plate which comes with short ribs tacos, mahi mahi tacos, and steak enchilada. The birria tacos and mahi mahi tacos were the best. Both had great flavors and the proteins were very fresh and delectable. Definitely coming back for their other menu items like the breakfast and drinks. There's outdoor and indoor seating. You can order as take-out or dine-in. It's a kinda small place, but great location since it's so close to the beach. There's only one unisex restroom and you need a key code to go in.

Asada in Laguna Beach delivered a delicious and satisfying lunch experience. The fresh ingredients and bold flavors definitely impressed!Blackened Bliss: The blackened mahi fish taco was a standout! The fish was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, thanks to the blackened seasoning.Carne Asada Classic: The carne asada taco lived up to its name. The seasoned meat was tender and flavorful, a true crowd-pleaser.Jalapeño Margarita Magic: The jalapeño margarita wasn't shy about its kick! It was perfectly balanced between sweet and spicy, a refreshing complement to the tacos.Asada offers a vibrant and flavorful Mexican food experience. The delicious tacos, combined with the perfectly spicy margarita, make it a great place for a casual and satisfying meal.

Good food at a fair price but that's where it ends. You order at the window or counter which as confusing as people were doing both which I'm not a fan of but understand the advantages for the restaurant staff. The team was friendly. Expensive house margaritas for the size. The Enchilada Salsa Ranchero with steak @ $16.95 was delicious and a a large portion. I would order again. Good fajita steak in a very mild ranchero sauce. Not as rich with a kick of spice where you can taste the chili powders but good. The cilantro roce and black beans were a good pairing for an overall delicious choice. Limited parking so you'll want to walk if you can. It's Laguna Beach so you'll want to walk everywhere due to limited parking. The inside is small and there's a lack of ambiance. It felt like I was at an upscale food court restaurant. There is a small patio so you take in the fresh air and watch the world drive by. I will revisit for the food but only if I can walk or double park to pick up to go and skip the overpriced cocktails.

Was driving down PCH hungry and found this place close by. I am so happy I stopped! The food was delicious, I got the two carne asada tacos plate. The meat was tender and overall the the dish with the rice and beans was super flavorful! Service was quick and staff was super friendly. Will be back and definitely recommend!

Good food. Probably nothing to go out of your way for, but we all enjoyed our lunch well enough. Seating was quite difficult as all of the tables were up high. We had toddlers and an elderly man who all struggled with the seating. I tried the carne asada tacos (meh), street corn (yum) and calamari (yum). I wouldn't order the carne asada tacos again...which is kinda sad for a place called Asada! But there are just so many places that really nail it, that this one fell a little short for me. They were fine, just not a standout item. Food : 4Price : (I did not pay, did not see the price so am not including a rating here)Ambiance : 2 - I spent most of my meal trying to make sure my father and child didn't fall off of the impossibly high seating. This was really frustrating. Service : 3/5

This place is awesome! I was looking for a place that my group could pay upfront individually and still have a nice restaurant feel to it. This place was great for just that. We had a group of 14 and we all sat inside. They have beer and cocktails too, BONUS!I feel bad for the servers because they were short staffed but they handled the situation great and we didn't feel any lapse in service. Will def be back!

The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. You order at the front then find a seat and they'll bring the food.I tried one short rib crispy taco and a steak soft taco. Our table also ordered corn, spicy tator tots and maragaritas (lavendar was one and hibiscus another). With our tacos we asked for salsa. It came out hot, not spicy but temperarure hot like fresh. Never had that before and it was delicious along with everything else we ordered. Drinks and food all really great.Staff was friendly. Gave great food recs.
