I went there with my dining companion on a Thursday evening before the dinner rush. He tried to order appetizers, and the woman behind the register said they were out of the first two things he chose. We ended up with the Bolitas de Yuca con Queso as an app. He ordered his entrée: Chayote Rellano. When I tried to order my entrée, the first two things I chose were not available that night. I said to the woman I had never been there before, asked what she might recommend and she tersely and flippantly said, "Throw a dart." I could hear the impatience in her voice; she couldn't be bothered to make a suggestion. I was out of ideas so I quickly chose the Cubano. We took our order table marker and found a seat. The ambience left a lot to be desired; the tables and chairs were cheap, and there wasn't much decor. Our appetizer was delivered at the same time as my entrée. The bolitas were actually tasty; however, I wanted to try my sandwich when it was hot but felt it would be rude to start before my friend's entrée arrived. The kitchen's timing was terrible. Eventually my companion's entrée arrived, and he was happy with his dinner. My Cubano was very unimpressive. The flavor was bland. Our drinks - sangria - tasted like there was no alcohol in them. Overall, we spent over $70 for 2 dinners, an appetizer and 2 drinks, and I was tremendously disappointed. With unimpressive food and high prices, I will have a hard time giving them a second chance. read more

It's been a while as we moved away from the area. So, we took an opportunity to drop in recently - and their Chicken Karaage taco is still just as I remembered it. I don't think you can get this anywhere but here, and it will keep me coming back! They have an extensive menu now tho, and so many new things to try. Hub loved the stuffed peppers, and their chips are always so fresh and crispy. The sangria is filled with fruit and so refreshing. We moved to Greenville at the same time Asada started their food truck many years ago in the West End, and those are sweet memories of ours and their first days. Their brick and mortar is sweet little place. Check them out if you haven't been in a while (or ever!) read more

We could have decided on a $$$ valentines dinner last night before a Swamp Rabbits game. But, Asada is always a solid choice. We have been here 3 times now and it never disappoints. Friendly crew and owner remembers regulars and some not-so regulars. I was craving the new poutine dish. Unfortunately it was sold out. Still, it was a perfect 5/5. The Cuban this time was tasty and huge! Support local! read more

Very tasty little eatery the portions aren't big but the flavors are. I would recommend looking at the menu before showing up as it can be very busy and overwhelming trying to assess the menu with a crowd, but overall really good food. read more

ASADA - Tacos De Camarones & Mole - Latin American Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

For someone who is born and raised in California I've had some pretty authentic Mexican food. This is by far the most authentic Mexican restaurant in Greenville/ in the South! Only thing I would say negative is that I wish y'all were open 24/7. If you're looking for real authentic Mexican food this is your spot. read more

The best burrito I have ever had. It is a great portion and delicious. A great spot to grab a quick lunch. The staff was very friendly. Definitely want to go back! It is a very casual place. read more

The food here is fantastic! The cashier guy was super nice and friendly and explained the menu really well when we asked a bunch of questions and gave us some recommendations. I got a chorizo breakfast burrito, which is apparently only available on weekends, and it did not disappoint. The portion was huge (I only ate half and took the other half home, and it reheated well later) and everything was flavorful. My husband got a chicken taco and a carnitas taco, which were bigger than a normal taco size, and they came with chips on the side (you can swap for rice and beans). I've never had yucca cheese balls before but ordered them after seeing someone get this and they were delightful! I saw some people get arepas too and they look delicious too. It was pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon and the parking lot was full, but it's right next to ihop which has a huge parking lot so we just parked there and walked over. Their menu is pretty vast - I will have to come back to try other menu items soon! read more

Disclaimer: This review is for the chosen tacos. Traveling from Austin, and thinking about moving to Greenville, we are looking forward to returning for more exquisite choices. Finding a latin-cuisine in Greenville is not so expected, so we were excited to come across this place. The green salsa was fantastic. Perfect spice and, most importantly, full of flavor. The carne asada taco was very good for what was expected in the area (not California and not Texas). The fish taco...not so much. A lot more breading than the fish, so it was like biting into a tortilla filled with puffed/fried breading. The slaw was not at all flavorful. The size of the taco was decently sized (which we were hopeful for due to the higher taco prices), but...again...not much flavor. The chips were not our favorite either. I imagine the chips were made fried from the tortillas used, but tasted more like old oil. Meal was advertised with pico de gallo, I didn't get any. Maybe the chips would've been better with it...? read more

Looking back at the review I made in 2017, I can still gladly stand by it. Another trip from Atlanta back home to NC? I can't think of a better excuse to visit. Once again, everything was fantastic. The service is always friendly and the food is always delicious. This trip was on a Saturday around 1pm, so it wasn't busy at all. Food was delivered very quickly and fresh. The yuca balls and cream cheese & guava empanadas were a solid choice, as we always order them on our visits. I chose the arepa rellena as my main course and it was fantastic as well. Food that's been amazing over the 7 years I've been visiting? What more could you ask for? read more

Excellent food and incredibly kind people. This is hands down own of my favorite spots. I love coming here!

Fantastic! My wife and I shared the steak mofongo, arepa burger, and a Nicaraguan churrasco. All of the meat was cooked just right. The yuca fries were delicious. The mushrooms and sauce on the mofongo were soooook good. The cheese on the burger was fried just right and squeaked while we at least it. The saucesayched each food item so well. We had some leftovers too. The staff was friendly and got thru the line quickly. It was very popular...as it should be. read more

How can I give them MORE than 5 stars? Seriously!!!! This might be my favorite restaurant in Greenville, SC!!! Located in a converted house, you walk in, go to the counter, and place your order. They give you a ticket and plan on waiting 15 minutes or so for your food, but BE PATIENT. While waiting you will see beautiful artwork on the walls and a nicely decorated interior. I ordered one carne asada taco, deep fried yucca balls, and guava empanadas. Each dish was AMAZING. I kept thinking "this is sooo good" with each bite. The taco is HUGE. Wish they had just made 3 tacos out of it. Way too much toppings to eat like a taco. I had to remove about half the toppings to be able to hold it like a taco and eat it. With a fork I just ate extra toppings with each bite. The taco comes with chips and I ate the rest of the toppings with the chips. The yucca balls come out really hot so be careful. They have a delicious white cheese inside that is all melted and stringy. Guava empanadas did not disappoint, hand made goodness at its best. All ingredients were super fresh. All the flavor profiles really worked. Folks of Greenville, enjoy this gem!!! read more

As I walked in, I could tell that I was at a spot where locals grab lunch (thanks for the recommendation from a teacher I was working with). I ordered an asada burrito to go and the yucca cheese balls. The bolitas were good- heavy on the yucca, light on cheese if you're wondering consistency. The burrito was very large and I will say some of the best seasoned carne asada I've had. Everything appeared clean and friendly atmosphere. I'd definitely come back if given the opportunity read more

One of our fave places for burritos ever - reminds me of burritos we've had on trips to southern California. SO big and SO delicious. Most recently we tried the breakfast burrito and it was so amazing. It's a casual, quaint but very small place and small parking lot so beware of that bc it can get busy. We usually do take out. But it's always amazing! read more

My absolute favorite spot in Greenville. Quaint spot with indoor and outdoor seating. My favorite dish is the NICARAGUAN STYLE CHURRASCO, and I love their guacamole. Everything is fresh and seasoned perfectly. read more

A place you must try ! We were visiting a friend and was told we had to try to this place out ! Very cute place with beautiful artwork that was available for purchase. We were warmly greeted by Sue and another gentleman. My friend, husband and I were excited to try almost everything since my husband is Nicaraguan and they had some nostalgia Nicaraguan options. We ordered the bolitos de yucca con queso and those were fried to perfection with a nice cheesy center and the spicy queso sauce completed that dish, we then tried the queso Fritos and tostones and that tasted just like how my mother in law makes fried cheese back home... nice and crispy, a little salty, with the crispy tostones and the perfectly seasoned cabbage stuff helped lightened and brightened up the dish. The taquitos dorados was another excellent dish that was full of chicken, fried perfectly and had plenty of cotija cheeses and crema. Amazing! We then tried the chicken karage taco and that was equally as delicious with crispy well seasoned chicken with a tasty slaw all on a tortilla. It was a good size taco ! My favorite of all were the beef empanadas ! I loved the crispy flaky dough that was not oily at all. The beef was seasoned well and I love that there were capers inside too. The service was fast and friendly. The restaurant had plenty of seating and I love the energy the restaurant had !!! I will be definitely be coming back when I'm visiting ! read more

This restaurant is very cute. It's has a modern and small interior so start looking for a table! You order at the front, find a spot to sit down and wait for them to call out your order or number. The queso frito and tostones were yum! The tostados were actually my favorite. They are definitely worth a try. I tried two of their tacos (which are pretty big!). The chicken wasn't bad but it was a little dry. The rest of the flavor made up for it. I also tried their steak which was pretty good. Overall recommend to try this place out! read more

Small footprint but no issue for lunch. Very nice staff. Great food. I'll be going back.

So I'm a huge foodie and love to cook. I appreciate details and authenticity and I am completely wowed by Asada. I've ordered take out two days in a row... yes it's that good. The food is fresh, full of flavor and you can tell the owners take a huge amount of pride in their quality. The guava cream cheese empanadas are ridiculously good. The Cubano sandwich with yuca fries.... And the Mojo sauce.... Like OMG!!! Best pico and fresh tortilla chips. This is one of my favorite restaurants now. The menu has so many unique things to try. I'm excited already for the next time. read more

I've been in Greenville for 6 years and this is the best food I've had in the area. Simply delicious. Empanadas were fluffy. The karagge tacos were amazing- the chicken fried to perfection with seasoning and sauce juxtaposing each other like some orchestrated waltz in my mouth. The fried Yuka balls were packed with flavor. When I think of one word to describe this food- it's "Harmonious". The chef aligns these flavors and ingredients to craft not only an aesthetically beautiful plate, but also a flavorful composition of deliciousness, cooked to absolute perfection. Make no doubt about it- she is a chef, and this is probably the best restaurant in Greenville until I'm proven otherwise... Do yourself a favor... TRY IT! read more

I took a chance and doordashed ASADA. Best burrito I have had in South Carolina! I got the steak burrito and it did not disappoint. 10/10 would recommend. The homemade chips and pico were also great. read more

Stopped at arepa along a road trip through Greenville. There are a couple of outdoor tables and ample sitting inside. You order and pay at the counter and then your number gets called with your food is ready for pickup. We tried the yucca and cheese fritters which were good, the chicken taquitos were tasty but the portion felt a little small; and the arepa which was made vegetarian with cheese only per request. The area came out a little cold on the outside which made me thing the arepa shell was not made to order but just filled upon demand . We ate in the restaurant but all our food came in cardboard to go containers which seemed wasteful and unnecessary Overall it was good but definitely has potential to improve. read more

Some of the best food in Greenville. Reminds me of something that would be in California. We've had it 2 days in a row!

This might be my new favorite spot! The steak quesadilla is excellent. Perfect portion and flavor. My husband tried the arepa burger and said it was bursting with flavor. The interior of the restaurant is very comfortable, with good music playing and lovely artwork on the walls. The staff was very kind and attentive. We will DEFINITELY be back soon! read more
