OMG! Wow. The food was AMAZING! My new fave in the Oceanside area! I was having our dinner delivered on a busy Thursday. Apparently the delivery driver was early and wanted them to begin preparation of the order. Luce called to verify that starting to prepare my order early would be OK. They wanted to make sure it was fresh. Her explanation and friendliness on the phone was fabulous. We received our food and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT. We had Carne Asada Burrito, Shrimp ceviche Tostado, Ceviche Tostado and Caldo de Res soup. The Flavors were absolutely amazing and portion sizes exceeded my expectations. My family smiled the whole meal and walked away with full bellies, looking forward to our next order from our new favorite Mexican restaurant. Thank you MI Asador for a great experience!

If I could put an extra star for Service I would. Great food and VERY friendly. Nice outside area to eat.

Ordered a breakfast burrito here on a Wednesday morning. Wasn't too busy since it was a weekday. The staff was super friendly, quite literally the definition of good service. Made sure I was taken care of, asked if I had question, and even offered me a bag to bring chips home for my to-go order. The sausage breakfast burrito I ordered was also amazing. Eggs cooked just right, not soggy and also not rough. The sausage and cheese added that rich salty flavor to make it hearty. And all wrapped in a nice warm thick flour tortilla that soaked all the flavors up. Definitely will be back.

The food here is relatively inexpensive and the portions are extremely fair, even large for the price. The customer service is fantastic and the food is delicious. There are free chips which come with your meal as well, you just have to get them as they aren't served. All in all this establishment is my favorite spot for Mexican food and one of my favorite spots for lunch in general.

It is refreshing to receive such respectful service. Food is very good. Loved their California burrito. But the service and attention makes me want to go there every day if I could.

Great everything! The soup is amazing! The pastor tacos are delicious! The salads with chicken, chips, salsa bar, horchata, everything... always delicious. The owner, Luce, always remembers us, and often, what we order. Rock solid! Not the most exciting decor, but plenty of seating, bright, clean, even outdoor seats. Great spot!

Mother and daughter working, super friendly. Food is fantastic and the place is really clean. I highly recommend.

We ordered a catering sized meal for 40 people with grilled chicken, carne asada, rice, beans, tortillas, and it came with all the salsas you’d want and guacamole. I ordered the day before and the owner was SO accommodating. She walked me through the process, and then called again the day of to ensure that they were covering everything. I was able to feel fully confident in what we were ordering and felt so helped. When we arrived to pick up the order, the employees carried it all to our car for us and again stated any way they could additionally help to let them know. Everyone at the party was raving about how good the food was. Highly highly recommend Mi Asador, especially for large orders!

Super friendly staff and I've never had a terrible meal or experience here. There carnitas is absolutely delicious. They're also fairly inexpensive and have a great breakfast choice as well. If you want a good experience with amazing food you have to try Mi Asador Mexican & Seafood Restaurant!

We've been coming here for the past 4 years and it's our favorite little Mexican place to eat at. Their fish tacos are so good, the service is always so great. The ladies there always talk to us as if we're family and they always make our daughter smile.

Wow, this spot is awesome... Food (fish tacos this time) is delicious. Dining area, both inside and outside is spotlessly clean... Staff is super-friendly and helpful... Their menu options are amazing.. Seriously, biggest selection of choices I've ever seen!

I love this place: great food, good prices, excellent selection of food and drinks, and a chips and salsa bar. This restaurant is a family favorite. I recommend the fish taco. If I had to find a complaint - the inside is about due for a renovation. The bathrooms are good though and looks like they were recently renovated but the rest of the restaurant is clean but dated.

Most amazing and consistent Mexican food! The owner Luz has such a wonderful attitude and her friendliness is enough to make this place a weekly spot to eat. Portions are more than you could eat at one sitting and make great leftovers!

Food was absolutely delicious! I got the Chilaquiles and it was amazing. Some of the better traditional style I’ve had in a very long time. The gentleman at the front was extremely kind. And the restaurant was super clean. Would definitely recommend this spot

Came here because I was craving a green sauce enchilada (not many Mexican places use green sauce) The owner greeted me and was so personable and kind d and thanked me for coming. Was so friendly and the place was pretty quiet and clean and atmospheric. It's a real vibe with the cool decorations and "homey" too!! It's gives "home diner" vibes but mexican version and colorful atmosphere. Enjoyed my to-go experience! The food was yummy exactly what I needed!

Best food on earth. Everything about this place is so amazing the workers, the food, and the atmosphere. I've been coming here for 14 years and the food has only gotten better. Would 100% recommend this place

This place is great. Very polite staff, very clean. Good amount of food for the price point. I got the #12 combo. If you are in the area and hungry for good Mexican cuisine hit this place up. Second visit: I ate at the restaurant this time and got the #10 Al Pastor plate. Delicious!

Excellent food service and atmosphere. I had the car it's tacos and my associate has the fish tacos l. She said they were amazing. The carnitas was outstanding. I'm coming back

The latest visit was really great. We moved away and really missed the food here. We have been coming here for 16 yrs!!! It has stayed the same with same awesome food. Everything is great. pollo asado, carne asada, fish tacos, carnitas, FREE CHIPS AND ALL TYPE OF SALSA. THE SALSA BAR IS THE BEST. You can get any thing from super hot to mild Pico de gallo, roasted chiles, this is the most complete salsa bar I have ever seen!! see picture.

arli was super nice!! clean restaurant, variety to choose from, and delicious food. we got quesabirria, and let me tell you, we will be back again !

I love Mi Asador and the employees there! They make amazing food with great quality and it’s close to my office and house. They’re the reason I eat breakfast LOL Tuesday night we had an order missing from our big order and the owner gave me a free burrito this morning to make up for it. Great customer service. I appreciate it so much. My favorite Soyrizo breakfast burrito is already almost gone 🤤

I've been all over the world and this place has maybe the best Michalada I've ever had! Service is fantastic also. Didn't try the food this time but it looks fantastic and I'll certainly be back!

Very good food. Have been eating here regularly for years, and they serve consistently delicious Mexican food. Great carne asada!!! Great breakfast burritos, as well. Never had a bad meal or time here. My go-to local Mexican restaurant.

My favorite taco shop in the area! Food is always hot and fresh and delicious. But the best part is the warm and friendly service - always makes me happy to pop in and grab a breakfast burrito.

This place has the best service, and their food is always excellent!! Would definitely recommend this spot , they also have beer which is a plus in my book lol.

I want to start by saying the customer service was hands down best experience I’ve ever received at a restaurant. Luz greeted my husband and I with such warm and welcoming hospitality. This was our first time eating at this restaurant and we ordered take out. When we got our food and headed to the car, I told my husband “I haven’t even tried the food yet and this is already one of my favorite restaurants” we got home and ate and let me tell you, the food was AMAZING! I am definitely going to be a regular customer at Mi Asador.

I’ve been coming here consistently for yearsssss and every single time have an amazing experience! Take out or dine in is always efficient, consistent, delicious and overall an amazing vibe. Salsas are always fresh, I definitely have some go-to dishes, but any time I branch out to try something new I’m never disappointed. The soyrizo burrito and rolled tacos are always on my top favorites! This is a must go!(:

Mark Mitchell

The food and service here is always exceptional. Others have commented about their burritos being small... while their burritos may be a little (10-15%) smaller than some other places, I still usually have a difficult time finishing one in a single sitting. A breakfast burrito will usually end up being my breakfast and lunch. Their fish tacos are MUCH better than the Rubios down the street and their chilaquilles are as authentic as I remember from when I lived in Manzanillo.

This place has the best service, the lady who usually works is so nice. Food's great, standard Mexican fare.

Food is delicious and plentiful! Service is very friendly and pretty quick. Parking can be a bit challenging. Located at the end of a strip mall.

Good Mexican food, fantastic menu with lots a variety of dishes and different types of burritos and tacos. Their soup is very good and I highly recommend. Their service is attentive and courteous. Bomb salsa bar. Chips free with every meal. Ample indoor and outdoor seating. TVs inside. Price is reasonable.

I was pleasantly surprised by this "taco-shop." The interior is exceptionally clean and feels more like a casual restaurant than a typical counter-service spot. I appreciated that they serve your food on real plates when you dine in. A major highlight was the horchata machine, which offered a variety of flavors, as well as the salsa bar, where everything was fresh and delicious. They serve beer too! The staff was very friendly and made me feel welcome.

Suggestions make a printed menu with prices please also have some burgers, fries hot dog chili, green salads make a variety to enjoy with lower prices

My coworker and I stopped by here once got burritos. They were good but they were not very big at all compared to the majority of taco shops. If I ever go back I won't get a burrito that's for sure. Other than that, staff atmosphere, cleanliness is all great !

Average Mexican restaurant with prices on the high side. A medium size sea food bowl of soup was $18, but quantity of sea food was in the soup was less than desired, taste was ok. My wife had Chili Rilleno and she gives it a top score. We were one of two customer in such a large place at 7:00 PM. We went there a couple of times previously and will go back there again.

After visiting here for the first time was not what I expected. I ordered my food to eat in and was waiting for a while. Everybody else was getting their food except for me. I noticed that my food was sitting on the counter and they made it to go when I asked to dine in. Also, the salsa bar did not have the option. I wanted it was empty of green salsa and also had no carrots and jalapeños available. The tray was empty. I ordered a Carne asada burrito and when I received it, I was very disappointed. It was about the size of a taco never coming here again. The employees were really great and very attentive.

Very disappointing experience at this Mexican restaurant in San Diego. The server had a terrible attitude – no basic courtesy, impatient, and made us feel like we were bothering them. When we asked questions about the menu, they were dismissive, and when the food came, it was served with no care at all. The food itself was just average, but the awful service made the whole visit unpleasant. There are so many better Mexican restaurants in San Diego – this one is not worth your time or money.

**Restaurant Review:** I visited mi asador after hearing so many great things and seeing its glowing reviews. I was really looking forward to an exceptional dining experience, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype. The service was a major letdown. Our waiter was rude from the beginning, and when we asked for two small salsas, it took 30 minutes for them to arrive. When our food finally came out, we didn’t even have plates at the table, and it took another 30 minutes just to get tortillas for our meal. Everything came out at completely different times, which made it impossible to enjoy the food together. Throughout our meal, whenever we asked other waiters for help, they either ignored us or brushed us off like we didn’t matter. To top it off, we were handed the wrong check at the end, which just added to the overall disorganized and unpleasant experience. As for the food, it was underwhelming. While the presentation was nice, the flavors were off. Every dish seemed excessively salty, to the point where it masked any other flavors. I ended up only eating half of my entrée and didn’t bother with dessert. Overall, didn’t live up to its reputation. With mediocre food, chaotic service, and a completely unenjoyable experience, it’s not a place I’d recommend or return to. Very disappointing.

What happened? You have been my go to for years. Tonight we got fish tacos and 5 rolled tacos. My fish was so hard you could actually snap it in half like a chocolate chip cookie. My wife ate only one of the rolled because they were so dry and tortillas tasted like they were made days ago.

01/12/2025 I went for a burrito and pozole. And the cashier was not paying attention, she was more concerned about the music playing in her headphones, I had to repeat my self multiple times. I thought it was just me but waiting for my food she was doing the same to other customers. I was waiting for my food, and I noticed the cooks had my food done and left it on the counter, I waited and waited until I went up to the cashier and told her my food was ready, once I received it everything was cold from being in the counter that long. Worst place to eat, and that cashier/server ALL SHE WAS DOING IS LISTENING TO MUSIC ON HER HEADPHONES! Never going here again!

This place has gone to $hit. Been going there forever but no more. It's one thing to raise your prices because your vendors did and I'm totally cool with that. But other places providing the same services went up $1 and this place it was $3, once again that's fine buuuuuuut it's totally different when you sky rocket the price and now the burrito is 1/3 the size it used to be. I'm sorry but you don't get to do both. I went in not long ago and the cashier said omg we never see you anymore and in my head I'm thinking well that's cause you stopped putting burrito in your burritos 🙄

Not sure if just a bad day, or this place has gone down hill. Sunday morning 8:30am stopped on my way out of town for a chorizo/egg burrito. Very specifically asked for NO CHEESE!!! Appeared that the woman working the counter was not trained as the cook had to keep coming out to take all orders, wait on customers, and get all extras…. He took my order, repeated twice NO CHEESE… made my burrito, delivered my burrito again repeated NO CHEESE…. Does this look like NO CHEESE….once I discovered, I had to stop and remove or throw the whole thing away….

The customer service from the little short girl is bad. She yells at customers and is very unprofessional she needs to work on her people skills it is too expensive to eat at these establishments now to be treated that way..Also they don't use enchilada sauce on their enchiladas they use mole sauce and mole sauce makes the enchiladas taste nasty they do that because it is cheaper for them.
