Seriously wonderful staff and food. 28 high-schoolers and parents with a private room. One over-worked server with a smile on her face and willing to hustle. Prices seemed a little high until you see the portions. Chips and 3 different salsa. Bottled water on the table. Queso con carne a full meal. HUGE shrimp on the shrimp taco. “8 ounces” fajita might be underrepresented by about another 4-8 ounces. Arrachera 10 ounce wonderful and tender.

First time being there and we loved it. Being mexican, we rarely go out for mexican food but my husband wanted fajitas. I had seen this place but living in Leander, it was kinda far. We are so glad we came. Ceviche was cold and tasty. Fajitas were tender and sides were good with house made tortillas. Drinks were delicious. Menu is short so for us, that is a huge plus.it tells us they specialize. What they do, is done well. I hate a menu with more that 4-5 pages. Service, amazing. Noemi received us with a smile and gave us the run down of live music. Juan was a gem. Gracias Juan por tus atenciones y conversacion. Las salsas que nos ofrecistes estuvieron ricas. Estaremos pronto de regreso buscandote.

I was super surprised by the service, and the food was just as great. Definitely recommended this to anyone wanting some good food, spicy and excellent service. Ask for Franco he goes above and beyond to accommodate. Can’t wait to come back again

We had such a great experience here! The food was very good and they offered a big variety of dishes to choose from. Our server, Adriana, was amazing, she was so kind, super attentive, and really made sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was also awesome. Around noon, they brought in a singer, and he was incredible. He had such a beautiful voice, and it added so much to the whole vibe. It’s definitely a great place to spend the day with your family. Highly recommend!

I had an outstanding first time experience at Asadas Grill, thanks to our server, Franco. From the moment we were seated, Franco made us feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of. His friendliness, professionalism, and attention to detail truly set him apart. Franco checked on us at the perfect times, made excellent menu recommendations, and ensured everything came out just right. His warm personality and exceptional service turned a simple meal into a memorable dining experience. If you’re visiting Asadas Grill, ask for Franco—you won’t be disappointed. He’s the kind of server who elevates the entire restaurant. Highly recommend!

Adriana was absolutely fantastic and fun to talk to! I flew into town for a wedding and needed a place with good tacos and drinks and I got that both! They gave me in depth descriptions of all their foods and recommendations and were very open about what ingredients go into the foods. Upon entry I spoke to who I believe was the manager who briefed me on their brunch buffet (which looked delicious) but I ended up committing to my tacos and didn’t regret it one bit! I’d fly across the country again just to come back here it’s that good!

The food was yummy , I didn’t know they had a brunch buffet on the weekends! Our server Adrianna was so sweet. I would recommend eating here!

Eduardo Hernandez Frei

Paulo and our server Jackie were both amazing. Super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu! The food was delicious and the happy hour was a steal! Surprised this wasn’t busier (we were the only ones in the whole restaurant). I would definitely recommend trying this hole in the wall upscale Mexican restaurant)

Absolutely amazing!! This is the best food I have ever had. We are from Oklahoma and it puts Oklahoma mexican restaurants to shame. Our waiter was Franco, they were fantastic! They gave us some awesome recommendations! We will definitely be coming back. We got the pastor tacos (closest to camera), queso con carne, and chicken karaage tacos (farthest from camera). The salsas were so yummy! The chips are homemade too! Just all around a great experience! I can't post another review so I am just going to add to this one. We went back within a week from our first time. I cannot rave enough about the staff, specifically Polo and Franco, and just how great they make the experience! Our waiter this time was Polo. They were awesome! Polo is incredibly friendly and since we are new to the area they gave us a bunch of recommendations of things to do, which we greatly appreciate! Franco, from our previous visit, was there as well and they remembered us and stopped by to say hi and chat! I just cannot say enough about how great the staff is and how wonderful of an experience they make it for us each time! The food was again fantastic! We of course got the chips and queso, and this time we got the tampiquena, at Francos previous recommendation. So delicious! We forgot to take photos this time bc the food is just too good to wait. Overall just another great experience thanks to Polo and Franco!

Just took a random shot today trying a new place and I’m so glad I did. As I walked in I was immediately made to feel so welcome by the hostess and the manager Hector. Hector clearly took a lot of pride in his menu and his crew. Everyone else I dealt with there was happy and friendly. That kind of spirit starts at the top. I had some intriguing prospects on the menu but I was there for lunch so I wanted to keep it light…er and quick. I had the al pastor tacos and they were served up fast and cooked to perfection. Cost for what I received was on point. This place just hit on every level. I’ll be back.

I visited 3 times in July! And will always return whenever I'm in town!! The food is A-mazing!! The octopus is my go to!! The accompanying potatoes is a revelation!! And their side buffet is high quality. The potatoes soup was so good we thought it's a queso. Yes. That good.

Wow! What a treat! A hidden gem. I have lived in Austin all my life and did not know this place existed. From the food to the service 👌 Everything was superb! Paco our server was very attentive and his dessert recommendation was delicious. The dessert was so good que asta se desmaño el helado🤣 We will definitely be back with the whole family!

Our waitress was spectacular and full of great energy, and the food was top tier. Will be back for sure. Ask for the hotter salsas and I promise you, you won’t regret it. (Until the next day 😂) Amazing staff. Amazing food. Great environment.

Delicious options. Food was good. Waiter Marco was awesome, He was training another waitress hopefully she picks up on his techniques. Everything was good from service to food etc. recommend.

Came down from San Antonio to explorer Austin a d on our way wife wanted Mexican. Stumbled on Asado when we made a wrong turn and decided to give it a try. Enjoyed the food and the drinks!

I went here with a friend and I liked the food fine. I ordered the Huachinango Zarandeado - Red snapper Filet covered on a guajillo sauce, Mayo chipotle, roasted corn, and arugula. It was very tasty. My friend got the shrimp dish, Camarones - Served with White rice, Green salad, and Roasted onion. We had queso as an appetizer, but we had to wait awhile after asking for more chips. They only bring out a small serving of chips initially. By small, I mean like 10-12 chips. My friend reminded the waiter about the chips as our queso was getting cold. We also ordered Happy Hour Margaritas. My friend inquired if there was an additional charge if we got flavored margaritas. Our waiter told us no, but later, after leaving the restaurant, my friend noticed there was a $2 per drink upcharge. It would've been nice to have been told that initially. And, if the waiter wasn't sure about it, he should've asked the manager. Another charge we weren't told about was that there was a 3% charge for using a card. Also, our waiter mentioned after the fact that we get a trip to the salad bar included with our meals. We wish he would've mentioned that before we ordered the appetizer. We had two desserts, Pan De Elote and Tres Leches, which we shared. The desserts tasted good, but the Pan De Elote was rather dense, I thought it'd be a softer consistency. Now, for some positives, I did like the atmosphere of the restaurant. Everything was clean, and the décor was really nice and vibrant. We ate inside, but there is a nice outdoor patio area that is dog-friendly. We saw a couple of people with dogs dining outside. I would potentially come back for that reason alone, because I like taking my dog places with me. However, if I do come back, I'd be sure to bring cash so as not to have additional charges. So, I'd say, if you want to try this place, come for the atmosphere and they do have a nice happy hour selection. But, be aware of potential additional charges.

Been coming to this place for about 5 years or so. And a lot has changed since then. They used to have an amazing salad bar with fresh salads of Mexican heritage and traditional ingredients.. it’s now GONE! they used to have an extensive 4 page menu (kind of scary for restaurants, due to quality of each dish with such many options) BUT!! they refined it.. and guess what! All the GOOD STUFF IS GONE! Sadly.. I used to love coming here for dinner with the wife, or even just a quick lunch during the work week, and maybe even sometimes come spend a few hours and get sauced at the bar!! … I went a few days ago.. it’s just all bad! All the way bad!! They shrunk the menu! By a lot! And that’s good! But they changed what items they did keep. I used to order a Mexican burger, or even the enchiladas, or a seafood dish.. everything has been minimized to where there’s really nothing special there… I went ahead and ordered a “torta ahogadas” it was $18!!! No sides. It was of pork! It was the most vile thing I’ve ever tasted. The meat doesn’t taste quality, it lacks flavor of any kind! Tasted really bland and old to be honest. But the kicker is that it took almost 30 minutes for it to come out. And it was DEAD on a Wednesday afternoon 12:00pm .. The service has just gone really down hill. Not sure if it’s ownership, or management. But it’s clearly evident that this place is very much a tourist trap! So many other spots to really enjoy your time, with great service, astronomical delicious flavors and options on the menu for a great price! And most importantly! THE BARTENDER THERE is gone! Probably one of the best cocktail makers I’ve ever encountered.. For further context about this review, about 2 years ago I took my wife to have dinner. The service was sketchy at that time, and a lot of noticeable changes started to take place. Off the 4 page menu. I literally ordered 3 different things that they came back and told me they didn’t have anymore of… the. The one dish my lady was able to order because they were able to make it with all ingredients, guess what… they brought her the wrong plate… needless to say that night we left without eating, I didn’t pay for the drinks we ordered due to their inability manage or maintain customers. The chef comes out and gives us two free meal hand written business cards for the situation… and due to that I never left a review.. we also never returned for the “free meals” since we figured if they couldn’t get 4 dishes that we ordered while we were willing to pay them made. Then we definitely do NOT WANT TO TEST THE WATERS on whatever they serve for free.. Fast forward 2 years. And I have no other choice but to leave this review in the hopes that others are able to avoid a huge dissatisfaction and disappointment. Overall. I rate the quality of restaurant a 1 star. The quality of service a 2 star, the food is a zero star, qualities of meats, flavors of food, freshness of products. All failed for me. This place reeks of a tourist trap! How they serve me the torta all fancy and stuff! Nah man. Yall have lost the plot here!!! Mexican food is supposed to be simple and affordable.. if you want to make it fancy and add all the extra food science behind it. Fine do it. But have integrity doing it. Don’t just sacrifice your products and freshness and still start overcharging because you added a few thinly sliced radishes and some green foliage. Anyways just my take on my experiences here the last serval years. There’s food trucks within 3 miles of this place that will serve you a QUALITY TORTA for a reasonable price! Loaded with flavor! Fresh ingredients! And a smiling face to serve you!! These are the people that deserve the tips and great reviews. RIP ASADAS

“I don’t usually leave bad reviews, but this place earned it. This wasn’t just a bad meal—it was a full-blown culinary scam. Yeah, I’ll admit it: the presentation looked decent. The food tasted like nothing was seasoned right, the textures were off, and everything was either bland or overcooked. Everyone at our table of five left disappointed and still hungry. And to top it off, they had the nerve to slap a 20%(but the other half of my party was charged a 35%) (big party we were 5)automatic tip on the bill. For what? Bad service and worse food? That’s insane. I’m all for tipping when it’s deserved, but this was a joke. Never again.”
