Service - outstanding Ambiance - very f u n Food - .......it's NOT a place for plant based / vegan eaters. WELL, they'll "help" you order a vegan / plant based entrée. BUT their black refried beans have "P O R K" in them. So "all" you're left w/ is *r i c e*. 99 % of their food is "not" suitable for someone who eats a vegan / plant based diet. Vegans "really" gravitate towards any kind of bean or legume for a hearty plate of food. But, like I said, their beans have "pork" in them. They also do not have "any" vegan salad dressings.......(unless you're "ok" w/ the "very" boring oil & vinegar. It w/b nice if they could have options for vegan / plant based eaters. (512) 719-3390........So call them up & ask them if they could have vegan / plant based options......;--). Because "really", 99.99 % of their menu is not suitable for a vegan / plant based eater. Most Mexican restaurants have vegan / plant based options, But Asadas has z e r o. ALSO.......if you're vegan / plant based & reading this review, the most important thing u can do is kindly notify every restaurant / business u can & ask them nicely to please have options for u. Businesses need to "know" they w/b increasing their profit margins if more vegan / plant based options were available to them. read more

This place is so cool! It's kind of hidden next to Pinstack. They have karaoke on Thursdays which is super fun! I ordered shrimp tacos and a mocktail. I brought my mom and she had the strawberry margarita and she gave it a 10/10 as well! Service was quick and the chips they give you while waiting are homemade and warm (: I ate so many I had to take my food to go lol! read more

Couldn't get better than this experience, this day, at this place. How lovely everyone was and how good the food was! And the flan was so amazing!!! I haven't had a flan like that in years. I'm glad I visited again after sometime now. The staff is always so nice and accommodating and the place is so delightful to visit. read more

I wanted chimichungas I decided to try Asadas for lunch. I was greeted when I walked in and asked to sit on the patio since the weather was so nice. I started off with a water and later ordered a sprite. My waitress was kind but didn't seem knowledgeable about the menu. I asked for recommendations and got nothing. Most of the dishes on the menu I've never seen before. I am open to trying things so it was no big deal. The waitress seemed annoyed that I didn't know what I wanted. Ma'am, that's why I asked for recommendations. I eventually ordered the tampiquena! Chips and salsa- don't waste your time. The chips and salsa are both BLAND ! I didn't know that could even happen, but apparently it can. The tampiquena includes a steak, enchiladas, black beans, guac, monduros, and fries. I wish I would've asked for rice instead of fries, but idk if that was an option. The steak started off great. Halfway through the seasoning was gone. My steak was partially seasoned. The enchiladas didn't seem like enchiladas at all, they barely had cheese. My guac and black beans were fine. The monduros was very good and cooked well. The fries were unnecessary, I wish it was rice instead. This isn't a restaurant I will run back to.! Please add chimichungas. Why can I only get fish and shrimp in my empanadas!? read more

We went out on an impromptu dinner date and this place was great! They have a huge back patio and there was love music, so that was cool. All entrees come with the salad bar! That included: salad, fruit, veggies, charcuterie, rice, beans, and bunch of other stuff. We thought that was pretty cool. Honestly, you can get a lot of food for a pretty decent price. We ordered esquites appetizer and it was delicious. For my entree I ordered Huachinango Zarandeado (snapper). It had a lot of flavor, filling but light at the same time. I honestly forget what type of fish my wife had, but her plate was good as well. The service was friendly and the timing of the dishes was good. We'll definitely be going back for a other date night! read more

I think long and hard before writing a lower star review. I try to give the benefit of the doubt and that they could be having an off day but there was too much wrong with this experience to let it go and we certainly wouldn't go back to try again. The reason for 2 stars and not just 1, is because the server was sweet and attentive. Pros: - Huge patio and outdoor space - Thick warm chips (for salsa) - nice server Cons: - No red (regular) salsa. They were all heavy and either mayo or oil based. I've never seen a place with 6 different salsas and no regular red salsa. So weird. - They were literally out of everything we wanted to eat. Like six different items we asked about, both from the appetizers and the mains, were out. - Their flour tortillas are 100% store bought and were not the tasty kind. - pico de gallo was spoiled! I didn't even have anywhere to spit it out because we didn't get plates, just the platter of fajitas in front it me. - Beef fajitas were tender and seemed like quality meat BUT had no fajita flavor. It was a piece of sliced beef with no discerning seasoning. (Pair that with spoiled pico, no real salsa, and not great tortillas and you no longer have a fajita!) It was $31 too! - kids menu didn't exist but she told us the 3 options (chicken strips, fries, cheese quesadilla or macaroni and cheese)! We ordered a kid cheese quesadilla and asked if meat could be added. The cheese quesadilla was $6.99 and then they charged another $5 to put a few cubes of meat in it. - The rice and beans were among the worst I've ever tasted. Completely flavorless rice and the refried black beans lacked seasoning of any kind. I hate writing this review. I hate that we just spent $117 at this place and left feeling like we should have driven the extra 6 minutes and gone to Chuys but we would have never known if it was good or not if we didn't try. They seem to have a nice spread for Saturday and Sunday brunch and we commented among ourselves that we should return to try it but after eating today's food we wouldn't. It's 2025 and given how pricey their food is, to charge a 3% fee to pay with a credit card seems absurd. We would not have known if we hadn't asked for the receipt. Our server was very nice and her service was A+. read more

They're not busy. Good lukewarm. French fries were not out in when we ordered. They said it would take another 5 mins. The server talks so loud it really ruined the space for me. I would recommend the purée pineapple on the pastor to someone with NO tastebuds. The food was just BAD! The other server was busy playing in her hair. EEEEEEEE-yuck! read more

Asadas Grill - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

I hate giving shitty reviews. Place is large to hold a large party and has a decent size patio with plenty of parking. All of the entrees come with the small salad bar and chips and salsa. Our server was great but the first 4 items we ordered they were out of. The next 2 items my husband ordered the server said there was dairy in it and he is lactose intolerant. We settled on tacos. He got the carnitas. They were super greasy. I got the pastor tacos, my meat was dry and that one dime sized tease of the pineapple purée is not nearly enough to wash down the tacos. My cucumber margarita was good but the Mexican martini my husband ordered was definitely not like any Mexican martini we've had in the past. It's like it had margarita mix in it. We did not finish it. 2 taco plates, and 2 drinks were $70 and not worth the price. read more

Worst restaurant I've ever been to. It started off badly with a dirty, stagnant pond water at the entrance. When we walked in, the place felt empty. The staff didn't know what beers were on draft. They had to come back multiple times just to tell us they didn't have what we ordered. The chips were hard and salsa was bland and so watery it was like soup. We were told the salad bar was included, but everything looked wilted like it had been sitting out all day. Definitely didn't feel safe to eat. They also mentioned pozole, but then said they didn't actually have any. When the food finally came, it was cold and poorly prepared. The lengua was chopped and cold instead of properly cooked and shredded like it usually is. The carnitas were just thrown on a plate with limp radishes and looked unappetizing. Was expecting onions and cilantro. To top it off, there were people hanging around outside with a shopping cart and graffiti near building. Overall, a really unpleasant experience. read more

Before going here, one should review their menu online. I did not expecting to get common Mexican food such as beef tacos, enchiladas, and a basket of chips with salsa. No such luck. My review is mostly about the food, but here is a little about the place. It was clean. The staff was friendly, service was prompt. There is an outdoor section with live music (where most of the patrons were). Restroom were tidy. I ordered the chicken fajitas. The meal came with chips and salsa, refried black beans, and Mexican rice. The chips were marginal, no real flavor, no salt. The appear to be left over tortillas cut into quarters and fried. The brought out a small bowl which I ate. Later they brought more, but I passed on them. Note, when a fat man passes on the chips and salsa, well, they are not adding to the eating experience. The salsa was runny and bland, easily dripping of the chips. Not an impressive start. The refried bean were not nasty, they just were not good. Two or three bites and I was done with them. I would suggest Bush's Refried Black Beans in the can as an upgrade. The Mexican rice was soggy with no flavor. If someone was to put it in another's mouth with out them seeing it, they would not be able to guess it was Mexican food or even that it was rice. It was poor quality. The chicken fajitas were good. Lots of food on the plate. I would have preferred that onions were cooked a little longer, and that there was more spice with the dish, but that's a personal preference. I enjoyed every bite of the fajitas. Reading other reviews, a salad bar is mentioned. That information was not given. There was a good crowd there, so something must be good. I'm not going back. There are to many other places for me to try. read more

Such a hidden gem!! Honest review - when this spot first opened we tried it and we weren't impressed and didn't go back for quite some time. We gave it another shot and turns out they revamped their menu and wow - now we find ourselves coming back regularly. The auguachile de camaron is delicious The esquites, the tacos, the salmon risotto is amazing - trust me! Recently had the ribeye and I would put it up there with most steakhouses downtown. I'm talking J carvers, BOA Steakhouse, you name it. Salad bar, live music on the weekends, service is always great. If you live in the area- give it a shot! read more

Not sure what happened, This place used to be good. I got the garlic shrimp today. I would not recommend seafood here, proceed with caution. Its nice that that they had live music though on Friday. read more

Asadas Grill - Camarones al mojo - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

The menu is super small. The portions are way too small like if I'm coming to a Mexican restaurant I'm ready to eat and this place. 4 tiny tacos for 18 bucks doesn't cut it. I want large portions like a burrito or something. I would say the service is decent, the drinks are decent karaoke night can be fun. Just don't come here to eat come here to get drunk on margaritas. read more

I'm still thinking about their asada almost 3 months later. This place was SO good and the service was amazing. I was super pregnant when we went and my hip was aching and causing leg spasms, and they were not at all bothered by me needing to prop up my leg on a chair. I felt super rude but really had no choice, and they made me feel better by not caring at all and actually helping me get the chair. Service was also very prompt and the food came out quickly and accurately. It was delicious. We started with the Queso con Carne which was excellent. It was kind of cross between traditional queso and queso flameado, but served with a handful of chips vs. tortillas. I think it would have been nice with tortillas. I also thought there could be more meat in the queso because 1) it was delicious and I wanted more and 2) it was advertised as having meat so it was kind of a bummer that it was a bit stingy. They also only gave us like 12 chips and we had to request more. I had the Chamorro which was excellent. My only complaint was that it was kind of just a bunch of meat. It did come with a pretty small side of beans and rice, but otherwise was just a big hunk of meat. I'm sure that's traditional, but I wasn't quite sure what to do with it. Maybe some tortillas or something at least would have complemented it? My husband wanted carne asada, which they only had on the lunch menu. There was probably a similar dish somewhere in the steak section of the menu, but nothing that was obviously the carne asada. Luckily, they let him order off the lunch menu and just charged a little more. The steak was SO good. When we left Austin the next day to head back to Belton, I suggested we stop and just order some carne asada to go. My husband said it was just pregnancy craziness and talked me out of it, but later admitted that it was a good idea and we were both full of regret. The place was pretty empty while we were there, but it looked like it had a really nice outdoor seating area and there was someone setting up for live music. It might be more of a late night place. We were there for dinner around 6 on a Saturday. read more

Asadas Grill - Queso - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

The ambience of this restaurant is first rate. We have eaten here many times. However, on our last visit there were several misteps. We ordered the beef and chicken fajitas and the waitress informed us that they on had corn tortillas. Mind you this was in the early evening so I cant imagine being out of this basic item. I mean there is a HEB not five minutes away. When the sizzling fajitas were served, we had to wait five minutes before getting any tortillas. Then we had to ask the waitress for plates! The fajitas were bland and had very little in the way of seasoning. We were never asked if we wanted a second drink (big no no!) We really like this place but this visit was below par! read more

Yesterday was the FIRST time we had been to this restaurant, and we will be back! I opted to try the brunch buffet, and it was amazing! There were so many options that my husband said when we go back, that is WHAT he is going to choose as well. The food offered was fresh, and again, there were SO many options, including a chocolate fountain. Our daughter ordered a steak fajita. THAT would have been enough for 2 people! My husband ordered barbacoa? I'm spelling that incorrectly, but he said it was probably one of the best he'd had. The cocktails? TOP_NOTCH! NOT watered down. My husband had a Mexican Martini. I had a Strawberry Margarita. Our waitress was Adriana, and she was so kind, professional, and patient. We hadn't been there before, so she explained the menu and the buffet. We really enjoyed talking with her as well. VERY nice and interesting person. I hope we see her again. While we DID eat on the patio, with the fans on us, it was comfortable despite the hot, July day. Our daughter loved the grounds as she was looking for wildlife and saw a rabbit while she explored. We will ABSOLUTELY return. We stayed for almost 2 hours, were not rushed to leave, and were completely relaxed. Probably the NICEST experience we've had in a restaurant in a long time. Our thanks to Adriana for making it so! read more

Food was amazing! The queso was so good we almost filled up on queso. Franco was a great server. Thanks Asadas

The staff is amazing - very attentive and friendly. We had the buffet- well worth it. So much to choose from different cuts of steak, chicken, pork, etc. On Sundays they have a nice man singing and playing the guitar. read more

We have mostly been here for their buffet on Sunday and is always great. Today we were here during lunch - not sure if it's new management, new kitchen staff or what happened but it was completely underwhelming. We had the enchiladas with mole and tacos de bistek. Mole was like I was eating potpourri- inedible. I tried and could not do it. I last had their mole about a year ago and it was good. This was something else. The Bistek was likely old and just reheated. It was dry and charred. The service was on par with the days quality of food. What WAS good were the totopos and salsas served to start. Will not return for anything other than the buffet assuming that menu hasn't changed. read more

This place was conveniently located close to my hotel and I am thankful for that! The food, staff, tequila, and layout were all great!

I just wish we had more places like Asada's in Knoxville! read more

There's a thousand generic Mexican restaurants with a Tex-Mez twist similar to this in the area. Asadas Grill compares favorably. The decor/ambiance is a bit more upscale than average. They have a salad bar that is so-so but better than no salad bar. The food was yummy though and the service top-notch. I had mole enchiladas, the mole was on the sweeter side but really good. Would recommend. read more

If I could leave a (0) star I would. $13 dollars for the buffet salad with refrigerated taste pasta salad and Salad. upon walking to the salad it looked 50/50 but as you got close you see that it may have been sitting for a little bit. Either way wwith the urge to eat and wotj confidence that the food is fresh the establishment is deceiving. Moving along.... We were a party of (10) we shared the esquites which we sent back. Super salty and muggy which leaves us to belive the food has been waiting to be used for a while. 2nd appetizer was the Chipotle shrimp. The dish was decent and the food was warm and notto complain about. But the fact that we decided to close out after having the shoddy salad bar and eating those spoiled esquites we decided to leave immediately. We spent less than 35min in the resturant. As we closed out we asked our server to remove the esquites from the bill which he did and we paid $50 plus tip which we gladly gave because he was awesome and the issue was the establishment and management. After we paid the bill he then approached us and said that we needed to pay for the salad bar even though we didn't order full meals. He hit us with $13 salad bar fees per person after closing out. He said that establishment would charge him if he didn't get payment. Long story short food is awawful, service is OK, management is poor and they service food well past its time to the public. Beware and be friendly. Staff doesn't have the fault of a poorly ran resturant. read more

Asadas Grill - Party of 10 but 3 guest didn't arrive so actually 7. Live music at Asadas very poor food. - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

Had a team lunch here recently. Nice place, big with a large patio overlooking a creek. The food was not good and was very overpriced. Got a $50 ribeye that was medium rare. It was served more on the rare side and was really not great. They need a much hotter grill to get a good sear on the meat. See photo. Some people shared a tomahawk, which was a fun presentation, but it looked chewy as I watched them struggle to cut through some of the bites. Also, it's a $170 48oz bone-in steak. Tacos run around $20, and fajitas are pushing $30. Overall, overpriced mediocre food. Doubt I'd return. read more

This place popped up in the location Zed's used to be so we thought we would give it a try. I loved the atmosphere and the service was excellent. The Margaritas were fantastic!

Our first time at Asadas, and I was pleasantly surprised by my experience! They debuted their new menu the day we checked it out and we were happy with the selection of tacos, traditional plates, and appetizers! If you order any tacos or plate, you get free access to their tapas bar where they had fruit, salad fixings, various cold salads and meats and cheese. While that spread was a nice touch, there was nothing too noteworthy. I ordered the shrimp (camarón) tacos, and wow! These were both beautiful and delicious! The shrimp was fried nicely and the balance of flavors was delicious! Definitely worth the $15, and I really don't think you could find a better deal many other places. I will absolutely be coming back! read more

There was no professionalism or courtesy from the server I booked a reservation for means my hubby at 8:00p.m for Valentines Day and they gave a a table that wasn't clean , then one server came and said this is not my table the will serve you soon . After 15mins wait a bottle of water came with a disgusting very spicy deep that no one will eat it with chips impossible, then after 30 mins the waitress came and asked us what to we want to to drink didn't introduce himself and I told the house magi margarita and two shrimp empanadas , after 15 mins he came with the drinks that tasted like center watery when I told him I want frozen mango Rita, then he came 15 mins after no shrimp empanadas I said well I can do fish , 30 mins pass 40 mins pass no empanadas . I called him and said can I have the bill for the juice that was served , your service isn't professional you didn't came and communicate us ntn about our panades no sorry nothing . I feel that they need to be more serious if they want to welcome customers to want to come to this place to enjoy the restaurant floor is diagusting as well , they weren't friendly at all. This place is not good . I give the zero points and wouldn't recommend no one to visit this place and it's expensive not worth a dime. read more

Excellent food and great service from Ashlyn! Great Mexican martini, nice salad bar, good ribeye.

We really enjoyed our visit to Asadas Grill! They opened up recently in the old Zed's location, and if you didn't know it was there... you'd miss it. You can't see it from the freeway but it shares a parking lot with JC Penney. We decided to stop in for some drinks and appetizers in the middle of the afternoon. The drinks were a pleasant surprise. There are the usual beer and margaritas, but they also have some interesting cocktails. Try them! Our favorite of the day was El Quita Cruda and the Flor de Puebla. We also tried a skinny margarita and a Mexican martini, both of which were also good! Hence you really can't go wrong; but we wanted to try some new things and you should too! We also had a sampling of appetizers: ceviche, shrimp with bacon and guacamole! All were goodbye the standouts here were the ceviche and shrimp/ bacon appetizers. Full of flavor! Also these dishes had more an interior Mexican flavor profile, not Tex Mex! When we sat down, they brought out some black bean nachos along with water. Very tasty! We sat on the back patio which is lovely and big! It wasn't crowded so there was plenty of space along with fans to keep air circulating. All in all, we enjoyed our visit and will be back. Give it a try! read more

First time at location since it was previously Zeds. Very nice location, ample parking and customer service was very good. We had a party of 5 and had varying ratings of the food but none were bad. I had the mole chicken enchiladas and was not disappointed, but the rice and beans were a little bland. 2 in our party had the carne asada burrito which had good flavor but one had a bone in it, not expected at all. The last 2 in group had carne asada tacos and shrimp fajitas, only complaint was that the onions and peppers in the fajita weren't grilled down enough, but shrimps flavor was good. My only real issue would be with the chips, they were hard and appeared to rationed, we only had what appeared to be 10 chips for a party of 5, and we were hungry! Other than that, had a good time and really liked the atmosphere which was lively. Will be back to try more dishes and drinks. read more

I've been conflicted with whether or not I should give Asadas 3 or 4 stars and here's the reason: The food is definitely 3 stars as it's not the best food and a little pricey for the food not being too good. I've been here twice and the food didn't leave a lasting impression on me. However, the place is really nice--this is where my conflict comes from. Mediocre food, but nice environment. Meh! The place is beautiful inside and out which creates a nice environment and atmosphere. There's beautiful water outside in the front and the inside is just as nice with dim lights. I haven't seen the patio yet. The server told us they have brunch on Saturdays and Sundays (I've never been) and live music on Fridays (I've never been) so I would most likely want to come to one if not both. I would give 4 stars for the restaurant upkeep of the environment. There's a salad bar that's in the open and they have gloves for people like me that do not want to touch the tongs (I love this about this restaurant). If I could give this restaurant 3.5 stars, that would be my rating! read more
