    Remove the meat from the tortilla for shrimp and fish taco because I ordered it without any type of produce, and it came with cilantro.
    Michaela G.

    Super disappointed, my husband ordered takeout. I got a shrimp taco and a fried fish taco and ordered without any type of produce or vegetables because of the Cyclospora outbreak. Both tacos came with cilantro and did not have any cream sauce which I was wanting. I thought I could rub off cilantro and just eat fish and shrimp. I decided not to take the chance and threw it all away.

    Came here last Friday after my shift from work because my wife was craving nachos, was phenomenal experience with great service!

    Birria fries
    Kathy N.

    I was staying at a hotel nearby and was craving some carne asada fries and found birria fries instead! So I doordashed some! In hindsight it sounded good but I forgot how birria is made and didn't realize it would make the fries all soggy. I appreciate the staff accommodating to my avocado allergy and removing the guac and beans (just don't like beans) for me but I wish I had known there were going to be tomatoes in them since it wasn't listed in the description, I would have requested no tomatoes too. But it was good! I just wanted some crunchy fries! My boyfriend loved his taquitos and devoured it all. Would order from this place again! Food was hot and fresh.

    Cali Breakfast Burrito
    Adam R.

    Wow!!!! 9.5/10 Cali breakfast burrito. Super filling, tasty and delicious. Every bite had a a little bit of everything. Green and orange salsa were super good too. Would be 10/10 if the potatoes were crispy, just to add some additional texture. Would recommend.

    Great place for quick Mexican food. It's a small place with some seating inside but not much. They do have a patio outside with plenty of tables and chairs. The staff is super sweet and the food is delicious. Don't forget to wash it all down with a Mexican Coke.

    Breakfast cali burrito

    Super solid taqueria on a cozy corner of del mar. Fun vibes, but not over the top. Burritos are great. Stuffed, and full of flavor. Wrapped in a stretchy flour tortilla fresh off the grill. Workers were solid, too. Getting orders handled with a smile. The cooks are back there running and gunning with a semi open kitchen concept. Definitely a spot to go to time and again

    Birria Quesadilla
    Holli A.

    I walked by this quaint establishment earlier in the morning and decided to give them a try for dinner. I called and spoke with Roxy, she took out to go order. We ordered two chicken hard shell tacos and a birria (beef) quesadilla. We wanted onion and cilantro in everything. I arrived 7 minutes later our food was ready and waiting. The tacos were perfectly crispy. My quesadilla was perfectly crispy and a nice meat to cheese ratio. The consommé was flavorful. I would definitely go back. Great service and foods

    Chicken Hardshell Taco

    One star off for prices being a little too high for a Mexican taco shop. But food was good and service is fast. Seating is hard to come by when busy. Parking can also be problematic.

    Front - can't wait I try their Cali Breakfast Burrito!

    Another experience in my hunt for the best breakfast burritos in the San Clemente Tri-State area (San Clemente, Dana Point, San Juan). I tried multiple times to try Luna's BB in the previous location that used to be a KFC and Adolfo's (a YUM of the past). I never could figure out when they were open. Glad they settled on Del Mar. Ok, I made it here and it was open in their new location that used to be a sushi place. Didn't smell like fish, so that's good. I think this is a good location for them. Should stay busy. After reviewing the menu on the wall behind the counter, I decided on a Cali Breakfast Burrito. Eggs. Potatoes. Bacon. Avocado. Cheese. Sounds like the perfect combo. I grabbed a can of Diet Coke to enjoy while I weighted for the BB to be assembled and cooked. It's a small place with a couple of tables. Plan on take out if you are heading here. I was handed a bag with a very heavy breakfast burrito, a couple salsas and napkins. At home I cut that baby open and put 1/2 in the fridge for the next day. Good choice. The burrito was good looking, everything was nicely cooked and mixed well. My big disappointment was that the tortilla was not grilled. That is a pet peeve of mine and is required for a 4 or 5 star burrito. Bummer. The salsas were a green and a red that was a bit creamy or thick. The green was very watery and not much taste. The red was delicious and I wish I had more for the second half I had the following day. I can't define the taste, but it was good! All in all it was very good and top 15 in the tri state area. I'm will to again to try it out and see if they will grill my tortilla next time. Go. Eat Pretty Darn Good. HAVE FUN!!!

    Salsas
    Kait A.

    Stop scrolling and place your order! After a long day of traveling, all I wanted was a quick dinner. I placed an order via Uber Eats for: 5 rolled tacos - shredded beef I asked for the crème and cheese on the side Requested a side of salsa Order of chips and salsa The food arrived quickly and I was so pleased to find a beautifully put together order. Rolled tacos had the Oaxaca cheese and creme on the side, as I requested. They were carefully plated and not overly messy. Crispy, not soggy at all. Great flavor. Good portion. I was so impressed that they included not one, not two, but FOUR salsas to choose from for my order. I can't tell you how many times I've paid for sides of salsa that aren't included when takeout orders come from other restaurants. Taqueria Luna included them along with my other items. This made my night !! It's such a small thing, but it was enough for me to write a yelp review. Food arrived quickly and was warm. Neatly packaged & fresh. I will 100% be ordering again. Thanks for a great end to a very, very long travel day!

    Ended our 12 hour road trip with tacos by the beach. A well deserved treat after a long day! Parking along Del Mar was easy to navigate as people are usually coming and going so spots open up rather quickly if you keep an eye out. My fiancé got the chicken quesadilla and I got the 2 taco combo with rice and beans. The carnitas and fish tacos were delicious and the rice and beans were so flavorful. My fiancé loved his order as well and we both agreed the portions were huge - we were stuffed! Excellent price and service. Happy to have this place nearby.

    Store front on Del Mar

    My ideal breakfast was just found! Ordered an egg, potato, cheese and pico burrito and it definitely is now my favorite! Besides the deliciousness of my burrito I had to have chips, spicy cream salsa, and a Diet Coke which all hit the spot when you are looking for that comfort breakfast. Prices are good considering how big the burritos are. I can make two meals out of one burrito, score. Service was great and my food was prepared to order and timely. Place is cute and has the right amount of ambiance looking out at Del Mar, a couple of tables inside and then plenty of space outside. I am so excited that I have found this little gem in my small town

    Fish tacos (grilled)
    Dave G.

    Generally a good taqueria! The carnitas were juicy, tender, and meaty with great flavor. Fish tacos were grilled but served with a spicy salsa so request to hold it unless you like a small kick. A nice place for a quick meal and prices were fair considering the larger taco portion.

    This review for Asada is long overdue. I really love their food and cocktails here (especially the…read moreMexican Candy!) and while I've had some things that weren't my favorite, everything I've tried has been delicious. One of my favorite appetizers here are their bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers served with a blackberry jam and pickled onions...I get this pretty much every time. Lately I've been coming on Tuesdays to take advantage of their all-day Happy Hour, which is one of the best in town. Crispy carnitas tacos and the hibiscus margaritas are my go-to's, and the fresh chips and salsa served gratis are always delicious and hot. I wanted to take a moment to shout out their fantastic team of servers and bussers especially. Luna, Lindsay and Cesar have all been exceptional servers; their knowledge of the menu and their genuine kindness makes our visits that much more memorable. I don't often catch the name of the bussers, but they are extremely good at what they do. There's a few restaurants in town that hire staff and don't seem to train them well, so they struggle and it's apparent... but that's not the case here at Asada, where everyone is professional and really go above and beyond. It's easy to see how well their service flows (although the host stand could benefit from having people who are more outgoing; they seem to have timid people up there a lot, and it can be awkward when they're too timid to properly greet guests--just something I've noticed, having worked in restaurants before I tend to be hyper-aware of such things). My favorite section to get seated is the booths near the back which tend to be quieter, and also offer a nice view of the sky during the sunset and evening hours especially.

CHIPS WITH SALSA & FRIJOLES: 5/5. Generally not a frijoles person, but this one was good. BIRRIA TACOS: 5/5. Flavor was good, smoky. PORK BELLY: 3/5. Dry. Tortillas & sauces saved it. OCTOPUS: 1/5. This was definitely the culprit, as my partner and I shared every dish... except this one. I suspect it was the salad, since the octopus was fully cooked, and most food poisoning cases are from mishandled produce, which seems like a failure at a very basic level.

Ten minutes after we left, when we were going to the game room, the waiter approached our group and made a big embarrassing scene in the lobby, demanding to know what was wrong with his service, asking why the tip wasn't 18 to 20 percent like the receipt indicated, and saying things like "I just want to know." He was very aggressive, very confrontational and highly unprofessional. And he handled the situation loudly, publicly, and unprofessionally and scared our children with his rude, aggressive way of speaking. If management wants to speak to him, he had dark brown hair shaved underneath and longer on top, brown eyes, and had a safety pin styled earring in his ear. He was fine during the dinner and we didn't observe any rude behavior and left happy and impressed with the restaurant but aggressively chasing older guests down in front of family, young kids, and other hotel patrons is beyond inappropriate and should be looked into by management.
