" I cannot recommend Asada enough! From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming and warm. I ordered the fajitas, and they were incredible, with a great mixture of spices. The chips and salsa were some of the best I've had anywhere—definitely a highlight! I will say, my friends had a wait for their tacos, which was slightly unfortunate, but they were worth the wait. I will definitely be back, no doubt about it! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had a delightful experience at Asada Cantina + Kitchen. The restaurant has a warm ambiance, and the service was impeccable. We started with the guacamole, which was fresh and perfectly seasoned. For our main courses, we ordered the enchiladas and carne asada, both of which were flavorful and beautifully presented. The highlight of the night was definitely the margaritas—very refreshing! We will definitely be back to enjoy more of what this place has to offer. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I decided to celebrate a special occasion at Asada, and we definitely made the right choice! The presentation of the food was delightful, making each dish feel like a treat before we even took a bite. I chose the carne asada bowl, and it was full of flavor, although I found the portion size a bit on the smaller side. The drinks were impressive, and our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, a lovely evening out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Asada Cantina + Kitchen is a great spot for casual dining. The atmosphere is perfect if you're looking for something lively. The attention to detail in the decoration is evident, and it gives the place a unique feel. The food - I had the tacos - were delicious, though I felt they could have used a bit more seasoning. The drinks were fantastic, though, especially their margaritas. Overall, I had a nice experience and would recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply put, this place is a gem! I visited with my partner, and we absolutely loved everything about it. From the friendly staff to the exquisite food, every aspect was on point. We started with their signature chips and salsa, and the salsa was warm—quite unusual but so good! For the main course, I had the short rib tacos while my partner enjoyed the carne asada plate. Both were delicious, and the atmosphere couldn't have been better. A perfect spot for date night; we'll be coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What a surprise! I didn’t really expect much, but Asada blew me away. The service was exceptional, and we were seated quickly. It was the perfect spot for catching up with friends. I ordered the shrimp and crab ceviche as an appetizer, and it was generous and packed with flavor. My entrée was the tacos, which were equally enjoyable. I'm looking forward to coming back for another bite soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Asada based on the reviews but was a bit let down. The food was good, but I expected more authentic Mexican flavors. The horchata espresso martini was enjoyable, and I must say the service was great, but I felt like something was missing in the dishes I tried. I had the bay shrimp tacos which were decent but not worth raving about. The ambiance was fun, and I appreciated the clean and organized environment, however, I doubt I’ll return anytime soon.
