We had a long day traveling, and arrived late in Laguna. Our hotel was good enough to help us find 10pm dinner reservations at Asada. However when we showed up, they said they closed the kitchen early because it was a slow night, and they refused to honor our reservation. The attitude was one of extreme indifference - horrible customer... More

I had the best margarita ever! it was called "The Perfect" and it was just that - perfect. Smooth and citrusy tasting. They then start you off with warm salsa and chips. The warm salsa was such a delicious and unique flavor. I have never had anything like it. It was so good. Their Guacamole was awesome and so were... More

My husband and I both really liked Asada. The service was fast and friendly and we both really enjoyed our dishes. Large portions and very tasty at a reasonable price and in a good low key casual environment.

WOW! This was the most impressive 'first time dining'experience we've had in the past 2 years. Incredible food, unbelievably beautiful presentation and our server, Sara, was a rockstar. We did go early (6:00-ish) so maybe that worked in our favor. I had the blackened halibut tacos. The tortillas were thin (not thick corn wraps) and fillled with more delicately prepared... More

In a town flush with great Mexican restaurants Asada is just so so. Located on PCH it is in Javier's old location. The food is good but not great and the service can be slow. My last experience was not great as our order was mixed up twice and we were not thrilled. The location is prime however which makes... More

Went there on a Friday - it was packed with a good-looking, fun crowd. Had a reservation but still had to wait 30 minutes! The service was a bit slow, but friendly. The food was very good - drinks (had the house margaritas) just so-so. Had the seafood burrito - enormous, not greasy, fresh-tasting. Would definitely go back, to take... More

Food was just OK, very Salty, too much salt on chips, too much salt on fried green bean appitizer, too much salt on Chile relleno. Service was sub par, my water glass went empty twice, I hate that. Food was served incorrectly with sour... More

Came on a busy Saturday night with a reservation. This restaurant was recommended by the concierge at Pelican Hill Resort therefore we expected it to be great. Firstly I want to say that the location is great. Everything from the rustic/modern décor and fully stocked spacious bar. Its a cool looking place and was very excited to try some food.... More

Everything at this restaurant is great from start to finish. Guac, bean dip, constant refill of fresh chips. Had prawn and ahi tacos, burritos, and carne asada. Attentive staff and great atmosphere. Had to go back again during our 5 day visit. Excellent meal! Walked out stuffed for under $100 for 4 people.
