It was perfect. The cilantro lime steak salad made the best afternoon snack for me and my husband. Grilled carne asada tops a bed of greens, a generous amount of avocado, red onions, shredded jack cheese, tomato, roasted corn, black beans, and crispy tortilla strips.stripe. All dressed in a lime vinaigrette. It was so refreshing and full of protein, both animal and plant. We always try to eat as healthy as possible and this truly hit the spot. Pairs well with a bottle of unsweetened tea. Service was nice and fairly quick. Located in the Pavilions shopping center, and 6-minute walk from our hotel, this really made our day. Seatings are plentiful on this weekday, both inside and outside. There are other items on the menu like tacos, enchiladas, and burritos. We will definitely try these next time we're in town. They all sound tasty! Salud! read more

Recently visited, back, took cash, bumped to 4 stars. // adjusted to 3 stars because I got a legitimate reply. When I asked at the front desk if they accept cash, they said, no. We'll stop back in again in the near future and see if anything changes - if I get a different answer, I'll gladly adjust this review because we love this spot. read more

Always so good! Big thanks to Wendy for always greeting us with a smile and making sure we have a great time! See you soon!

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. read more

If you're looking for a classic spread of Mexican dishes paired with an intimate atmosphere, Asada Tacos + Beer is right up your alley. As you walk up, Asada gives the vibe of a true Laguna restaurant: classy, yet practical. There's a To-Go window in front along with indoor and outdoor seating. While Asada strives to be high end in ambiance, their service does not fully match that vibe. It was a half-service restaurant, which is not reflected in the prices. Additionally, food was good, not great, mostly due to the price. The chips and guacamole were overpriced and pretty bland. The chile relleno burrito was great yet had a lot of lettuce. What this place does great though is its tacos. Definitely worth another trip to pick up some steak tacos. Overall, was a great time! If you're looking for a new place to try or in the mood for Mexican, Asada is the place to go. read more

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. read more

I'm not one to review often. However, this place deserves the highest rating. We visited for dinner on 4/25/26. First, the service was excellent from all of the staff. Next, the food portions and quality were so good and unexpected based on the fair prices. Finally, the ambiance felt upscale but not trying to be fancy. Such a great experience! read more

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. read more

My daughter and I visited Asada Tacos and Beer after a day at the beach. We were greeted by a mid age woman with her light brown hair pulled back - she was extremely rude. She misunderstood our order for carne asada fries and brought out a side of fries. We specifically went there for the carne asada fries I saw on IG. When she brought the fires I said we ordered carne asada fries and she replied - I thought you said a side of fries. Really?! Why didn't she clarify my order if she wasn't sure. Why would I order a "side of fries" that's not even an option on the menu. 1. Service was horrible 2. Food was whatever. 3. The fries were gross so the rude lady actually saved us money by misunderstanding my order. read more

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. read more

What a great Yelp find last minute while driving down the PCH. The habanero hot sauce has a kick, so be liberal with application. The tacos are big, they are not street taco size. My short rib tacos only had one tortilla and fell apart, I think this was a mistake because my fish tacos had two tortillas each and stayed intact. At least they had forks and friendly service to get us the fork quickly. Definitely worth a stop if you're driving down from LA to San Diego. read more

The crispy potato jalapeño tacos were good. They were packed to the brim and the flavors were good. The hard shell tortilla was a bit on the thicker side so it was more of a crunchy than crispy experience. The tater tots were seasoned with a spice blend and along with their dipping sauce it was a good shareable item. The sweet corn tamale with butter was a great treat to end the meal. We came a bit earlier than the typical dinner time and they weren't busy. The have a lot of tables and chairs inside and one in their front patio too. They are located in a grocery store shopping center so there was a lot of parking, which is a commodity for the area! read more

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! read more

We've had at least three delicious meals here and the last one on a perfectly breezy and sunny day on the patio. There isn't much better than eating fresh carne asada tacos with the house warm, green salsa and a margarita on PCH on a perfect day. read more

On a recent visit, we sat outside. Seriously, Asada needs to clean their outside table as I lost my appetite seeing crusted food embedded in their slat table. Overall the food was okay. read more

So I frequent this place and love it. Went twice today. Sadly I ordered, for the first time, the asada bowl which otherwise would have been wonderful were it not for undercooked, hard, unappetizing rice. Ruined the whole meal because it was throughout. read more

The food here is so delicious. I recommend the Mexican Cobb Salad, I added black beans to mine but it's essentially a burrito bowl which I love! A bit pricey.. you're looking at $60 for 2 burrito bowls + chips & salsa + tip. Food is worth it, but I don't think I'd come here for a daily meal. The inside is pretty small but there's also a ton of outdoor seating with a pretty view for sunset. Service was fast & efficient, everything came out perfect. Lastly, they have warm salsa & it's a game changer. read more

We arrived late in Laguna and were starving after a full day of travel. Asada was recommended by our hotel and was a quick walk. Closing time was about 30 minutes after we arrived so I was worried how we might be treated. Upon arrival, you order at a window outside. My daughter and I both opted for steak tacos and I added a sangria. It was such a cute place inside. You could tell they were starting closing procedures but nobody was rude. We were out the door before closing. Food was good. My daughter loved her tacos! I would have liked to try more but I was overwhelmed by their menu and didn't want to be "those people" at closing time. read more

Asada Tacos + Beer - Mexican Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

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 : 4 Price : (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 read more

Has Asada changed ownership? Very odd, always order chips & salsa salsa was hot (temperature) never had that, very kind & nice bartender/ server, just didn't have answers. Draft beer had 3 prices, $6 on HH menu, $7 on board & $8.25 on check. So doesn't seem the same ownership. read more

Food was good. Service was horrible ever since the skinny manager left. I was asking for additional hot sauce and the young kid said we were out and would charge you if you need more. We are local and have been with Asada for a long time. Thanks read more

I think this place mostly bills itself as a takeout joint but I opted to dine in and was well taken care of. The dos dips and chips were a good appetizer to start. Tried the potato taco plate and asada plate, both were delicious! The strawberry margarita was very well made also. read more

Best tacos I've ever had, I got the carnitas soft tacos and a local Margarita. No regrets.

The best jalapeño popper I've ever had. You order at the window. I got one of their "fav plates" it was the carne asada plate I believe. It was disappointing unfortunately. Kinda bland all around & super chewy beef. The house marg wasn't anything to write home about didn't bother finishing it. My food arrived and he asked if I needed anything else I asked for more napkins. He never came back not 1 time. To be fair it was Mother's Day but they really weren't that busy. it was around 5pm. I would go back just for those poppers. read more

This is a great spot! I liked that you can place your order outside which saves a ton of crown room inside the place; the line in this case is out on the sidewalk. The service is quick and friendly. For your buck, I'd say you receive a generous portion of food each. Their warm salsa is delicious, and I highly recommend the green shrimp enchiladas and mahi fish tacos. Next time I think I'd even order a la carte and be just as satisfied. I also recommend you reserve a table ahead of time as seating is a bit limited inside. read more

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! read more

Great food! Fresh salad and nice steak! We would go again if we plan to stay at the Heisler Park area again. Highly recommend!

Asada is good, but another price increase is not. 3 item combo up from $17.95 a week ago (early August 2025) to $20.95 today (late August 2025). read more

This is a casual place along highway 1 with plenty of parking behind it in the Pavilions lot. We got Raymond's Hangover Burrito: a generously sized burrito with bacon, poblanos, cheese, eggs, tater tots. The burrito itself wasn't spicy, but the salsa definitely was. The burrito hit the spot, but the highlight was the seasoned tots on the side - super crunchy and flavorful. The whole thing stayed really hot for our 15 min drive back and made for surprisingly good takeout (well, we did dig into the tots while driving). It's definitely worth checking out Asada for this breakfast burrito! read more

Favorite taco spot in OC. Everything we have tried on the menu has not disappointed. Always gotta get the chips with warm salsa. The best salsa and not very hot. Amazing flavor. This time we tried the chicken taquitos. I love the crispy chicken taco so gave these a try and they were so delicious, super crispy and paired great with the warm salsa verde. Also grabbed a side of the street corn which is always a hit. I love the house made watermelon agua Fresca and horchata are very refreshing. Salads and burrito bowls here are really good as well. The Mexican Cobb or Barbara's roasted veggie are my go to salads. read more

First off, the salsa came out hot. Like, temperature hot?? Our waiter didn't know which plate was which, gave us the wrong food, and both my wife and I didn't get everything we ordered. No utensils, either -- we had to ask for those. When we asked about a missing side, he said it was busy... then just never brought it. Still don't know what happened to it. Every time we asked for something, it was the same excuse: "Sorry, we're just really busy." But the place wasn't even that crowded. It felt like no one knew what was going on. Other tables were clearly frustrated too -- people were complaining, sending food back, some looked ready to leave. And for all this, the prices were pretty high. The best part? They asked for a tip before we even got our food. Seriously? Never again. read more
