    Carne asada lunch special
    Sharita C.

    This restaurant is muy bien!!! I'm in town for work and just googled restaurants near me. I love, love, LOVE Mexican food! So when I saw the website said "home best skirt steak in NWI" I had to come in and see and let me tell you, they did not disappoint! The steak was seasoned perfectly and cooked at my requested temperature!!! The chips are made in house and the salsa, soooo good! And look at the plate, they made a flower using a chili pepper!!! The restaurant is big enough to host large parties and beautiful with TVs, tuned to sports. And the service, I was great, with a beautiful smile when I walked in and my waiter Alvaro, was so sweet and attentive! The bar has a plethora of tequila options and the Paloma, AMAZING! If you're in the area, please stop by and have a meal and a drink, ask for Alvaro!

    The owner is a terrible individual and I would never patronize this place. My food had no flavor. The drinks have a lot of ice and not much liquor in them. I complain to the owner. He was very cocky and nonchalant about service and food. We had a party of 22 people and we were all disappointed in the service and food. This is not authentic Mexican food nor is it upscale Mexican food. The food is terrible. I will not be going back.

    Met some friends for dinner on a Friday. It was my first time here. It was pretty lively, but not packed. We had a reservation and got seated right away. Our sever was great and very welcoming. We all had margaritas and they were really good and really strong, which my friends had earned me about. I had the sopes and they were good. I believe my friend both had the carne asada, which they said is their favorite dish on the menu. Overall, it was good.

    La Ranchera Suiza

    I was so tempted to get my steak tostadas but I decided to try the La Ranchera Suiza and WOW! My mouth is watering writing this review from how good it is! The skirt steak was delicious and putting a little bit of everything in a corn tortilla was perfection. Everything on the platter went together and just tasted so good. And of course, cheese tastes good on almost everything haha. If you haven't ordered their skirt steak entrees, you must!!! I love my tostadas so much but this dish stole my heart. And Asada always gives super generous portions, so I was extremely full after this haha. Service wise wasn't as great as the last few times as we were in an odd corner where we were kind of forgotten. We ate our chips pretty fast and never got a refill until around the time the food came. Even though this happened, the dish was just so good it made up for it!

    The food was yummy, and the service was great, too. They have half off on house margaritas on Mondays and Wednesdays, so that was a plus for me.

    This is the view from our table. First time here and it's a pretty impressive bar. Can you say tequila?

    I'm interested in the fish tacos but am curious if the fish is beer battered or just breaded?

    My husband had the tilapia tacos and it was not breaded at all. Just appeared to be grilled with some seasoning on it. There were shrimp and red snapper to choose from, I believe, but I'm not sure if they come differently.

    Has Asada moved to Highland yet!? Thanks!

    Nope not yet. They will be moving first and second week of August

    Mother's Day dinner was disappointing, especially since we had an early 5 PM reservation and the…read morerestaurant was only about half full. It took nearly 15 minutes for our server to greet us, and our appetizer arrived before our drinks, for this round, only three drink orders total. Throughout the visit, we felt pressured to place our entrée order before we were ready. Once our food arrived, we noticed the enchiladas had red sauce instead of the tomatillo/green sauce we ordered. The food runner insisted the red sauce was tomatillo sauce, which was clearly incorrect. What stood out most was the lack of service continuity. We were seated by the window and noticed our server, Jacqueline, left around 6 PM simply because her shift ended. There was no introduction to another server or any handoff whatsoever. After waiting quite a while with no one checking on us, we eventually had to go to the host stand ourselves just to close out the bill. Our tab was around $200. Rather than dine and dash, we paid in full for the food and drinks, but chose not to leave gratuity based on the experience. The food itself was nicely presented and overall tasted good, but high prices comparable to Chicago do not automatically make a restaurant upscale. If you're looking to overspend on Mexican cuisine while receiving poor customer service, this may be the place for you.

I usually opt for the same thing every time, the queen which is skirt steak And rice and beans with a cheese enchilada and shredded lettuce and tomato it never disappoints. It's always spot on delicious it comes with your choice of corner flour tortillas. I always get corn. It's just a perfect meal. They have other things of course and my family gets those such as tacos or Maria that sort of thing Overall for the price point. You get a lot for your money. It's delicious food and it won't break the bank perfect for family is or a date or anything. It's just a really good place.

They were busy so there wasn't much of being checked in on, which is fine, I understand. When it came up to go pay. We proceeded to go pay and noticed that I was being charged a "fee" for using a debit card. Up to my current knowledge a debit card is not to be charged a "fee" like a credit card (could regulations/laws have changed and I was unaware absolutely). So then I proceeded to ask the lady why a "fee" was being charged on a debit card. She then proceeded to state that their system has always been doing it and that she has been there for the last 10 years. I have been going to this restaurant for about the last 10ish years and not once seen this person before. This person proceeded to become rude and blatantly nasty. I called her out on it and said "damn, you're rude" She proceeded to say "I don't care" and continued to repeat "I don't care" throughout the whole interaction, rather than try to come to a calm solution/explanation. For someone who works in a restaurant or a business I think that's highly unprofessional to be completely honest. I then proceeded to ask if there was someone above her who I could speak to about this for which she stated " God is above me". I responded to her saying absolutely "God is above all of us". She continued to be nasty and rude throughout the whole interaction. Another employee tried to come in, intervene, and help with the situation but she just gave the worker an attitude and told him to stay out of it. We ended up just paying it and whatever. As we walked out, she proceeded to tell us "Just f**cking leave". To add to this, during the interaction she proceeded to inform us this was her second time of the day arguing with someone. We absolutely left after we had paid. It's very unfortunate that a restaurant that I have loved going to for the last decade of my life I will no longer be going to. This all occurred because of one rude/nasty interaction with whom I believe to be a newer employee. I truly wonder what happened to the ownership here because the owner's son was always so polite, kind, approachable, and always went out of his way to interact with this customers.
