Tacos, wings, and adult bevs?!? These are a few of my favorite things!" And conveniently located on the UVA campus (logo is the upside down Virginia V). 1 taco, 5 wing combo ($17, 5/5 stars) was amazing and the perfect amount of food; Brisket taco was flavorful and fresh, bone-in honey old bay wings had a fantastic smoked flavor. Pro tip: I view boneless chicken as chicken nuggets BUT here they are huge and mostly juicy white meat with minimal fillers. Fries with queso were a great addition to the combos. Our server Kayla was top notch. Polite, attentive, and informative. 2 Gender neutral bathrooms downstairs. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating, but parking is tricky (paid first come first serve lot around the corner). read more

Friendly service and awesome wings. We tried the new hot honey Old Bay wings and they did not disappoint. The margs with the sour patch rim were also great. We were amazed by how reasonable the prices were. Getting another shot of tequila for $3 is a steal! I would've tried the tacos if they had a corn tortilla, but I'm not a fan of flour tortillas for anything besides a quesadilla. read more

Asado doesn't have their cheesesteak egg rolls anymore?? WTF guys? This is the best thing on the menu!!! I still love their tacos and quesadillas but tbh the prices have gone up and they got rid of what was arguably the best thing on the menu. Bring back the cheesesteak egg rolls! read more

Call me crazy but good beer and wings are sacred. When trying to find food after 10 PM I stumbled upon Asado nearby the UVA campus. The bartender Brenn was immediately attentive with water and told me about their half off wing menu. I ordered a beer and got two recommendations for bone in wings. Two baskets of hot wings hit within 10 minutes. They offer blue cheese or ranch. I had six Pineapple teriyaki and six honey barbecue. I was blown away with the size and how tasty! Brenn followed up with another beer order and could not resist another basket of wings. I can't wait to return. read more

Outstanding wings and tacos. (It's what you come here for, right?!). Seriously. Some of the best wings and tacos I've had. Very fresh. Unique flavors. Nice size portions for the price. The Waite staff is super attentive. Highly recommend! read more

Really good food. Great service out in the deck. Boneless wings were amazing. Loved the big fish tacos. Definitely recommended.

Love this place absolute Charlottesville staple, Naina and the team do an incredible job!

The service was attentive and the outside seating was comfortable, great place to enjoy the great weather. The food however missed the mark for me. I got the chicken quesadilla fajita. The chicken was dry and bland. The tortilla was chalky. The mezcal margarita that I got tasted sour, very unbalanced. Room for improvement! Hope to try again soon. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place! I haven't had it since the RVA location closed in 2020. The food is always on point! Flavorful and reasonably priced. We did order fish tacos that could've used more fish, but the flavor was still good. The wings are smoked then seasoned and they are seasoned well! The cheesesteak egg rolls are my fave! The queso dipping sauce that they're served with just adds to to the "yumminess". And the Cajun fries..... omg!! Definitely a "do not share dish"! I usually don't like spicy, but these aren't overly spicy. Just the right amount of kick at the end. Our service wasn't anything to rave about. We got what we needed when we needed it. Also, most of the staff are students, so I don't hold anything against them. It's a little loud inside, but overall a great environment. You don't have to yell to talk, but you definitely have to elevate your voice just a little. Normal bar things. I will definitely be taking that hour or so drive to visit again! read more

Thank goodness that Asado has good food, because it looks like a dive that you would normally ignore. The inside does reflect a college town bar, with a FOH Team that will let it show if they're having a bad day. Prices are surprisingly high considering the clientele. Keep your eye on the prize (and perhaps your hand sanitizer too). read more

Asados tacos are the best in town by far. Not quite a traditional taco but so much better in my opinion. Sriracha Shrimp is great and pineapple teriyaki too. They have deals for math monday and boneless wings and wine wednesday etc. The prices are honestly still too high for what the food is though and I hate the decrease in wing amount and the fact that you can't take boxes out anymore. The rule is stupid and i've heard that the managers aren't great. I liked the old way that this place was run. Anyways, the food is still really good and ambience is fun with good music played by staff who are mostly students. Margs are great with fun flavors and option for sugar or salt rimmed glasses. read more

Asado - Chips and Queso with my pals! - Mexican Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

As one of the most popular places on the corner, there is often a wait or the service is kind of slow. The food is pretty good it just depends on what you get. The lemon pepper wings are usually good, but I ordered them as takeout and they seemed like different wings than I had ever ordered. They were tough and almost inedible, I have no idea why. I also got the loaded fries which were just terrible. The atmosphere is very loud so just expect that if you go. It's just not somewhere I'd recommend taking a visitor of charlottesville, compared to other options. read more

Asado - Loaded Cajun Fries - Never again - Mexican Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

I've yet to have a weak drink from here. They hide it well - the drinks taste like something you might find in a lunchables. Even the double margaritas go down like caprisuns. Typically, I'm at the bar. (Also, can't believe I'm already at "typically," here. *lol*) I've always had fast, pleasant service. There's one person there that gives off such chill and pleasant vibes whenever my daughter and I visit. I'll leave her name in the tips, if I remember to get it next time. The fish and the shrimp tacos are dope. read more

Came here with friends on a Thursday night for their extended happy hour and 1/2 off boneless wings. So much fun! The food is decent. But their daily specials are what make Asado great. The atmosphere inside is awesome for grabbing casual drinks and snacks with friends. Being right on The Corner, the crowd is predominately college students. I ordered 12 of their Boneless Pineapple Teriyaki Wings and a Frozen Key Lime Margarita for around 10 dollars total. The wings were great and hit the spot. I also tried their Frozen Pomegranate Sangria which was delicious, and I would definitely order it again the next time I visit on a hot day. read more

Restaurant was a little busy at 7:30 and we had a 20-25 minute wait to be seated. The wait time estimate was very accurate and we were seated very promptly. The lighting and mood of the restaurant reflected a typical college restaurant.Server was very nice and friendly. My friends got margs (strawberry, key line, blood orange) and they all really enjoyed it. Tacos tasted great and so did the wings. Will definitely go back if I'm back in Charlottesville. read more

Asado - Dos Amigos, Baja Fish Tacos, Honey Sriracha Shrimp Tacos, Papas Bravas Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Asados is a restaurant that I miss after a while. Ive been here many times and they were always reliable. My must get is the lemon pepper chicken wings because it is so flavorful but this time I felt that the seasoning was a little lacking. I tried the loaded Cajun fries for the first time and I expected it to have more toppings such as pico de gallo but it was really good! The Baja fish tacos is reliable and I always get it fried. I also tried the double smoked bacon and chicken for the first time and it was really delicious. I was pleasantly surprised. I'd still come here but I do feel that the quality went down a bit. The service is good, despite it always being busy when I come. I sat outside this time and they do have heaters so it wasn't too bad. Also if you get a drink get the frozen margarita with the sour patch rim. They've only had the sour patch rim once out of all the times I've been here and this time they didn't have frozen margaritas so it is a hit or miss. read more

I recently returned to Asado for the first time in over a year after graduating from UVa in 2022. During my time as a student, I probably visited the corner establishment a couple dozen times given the reasonable amount and high quality of food given for the price. Since my last visit, while maintaining the same food quality and customer service, they have continued to raise their prices and this time, have even reduced their portion sizes. I ordered the Dos Amigos with boneless buffalo wings and the grilled baja fish taco. Baja Fish Taco (Grilled) - 5/5 - Easily the best grilled fish taco on a flour tortilla I've had, and also the biggest I've been served at any restaurant. A great portion of pico de gallo that makes this taco perfectly juicy, with a tortilla that doesn't threaten the taco's constitution. The warm warm fish, cheese, and tortilla contrasts the cool tomato very well. Delicious! Boneless Buffalo Wings - 4.5/5 - Sooo tasty, and just massive compared to other restaurants I've visited. They come with a bit more breading than I'd prefer, and a couple of the pieces I received had tendons left, but they were otherwise wonderfully crispy and tender. Pairs well with both ranch and blue cheese. I wish it they didn't give you less now. Pomegranate Margarita - 2/5 - I was expecting this to be much more flavorful. Wasn't expecting a margarita to taste watered down, even if this is a college bar. I wouldn't recommend this seasonal drink, even with the price. Overall, I'm sad that with the continued raise in prices and reduced portion sizes, this delicious corner staple is becoming more inaccesible to less affluent students. I do have a suspicion, though, that it won't terribly affect sales, given the place having such a friendly ambience and it being the nicest of the sports bars in the immediate area. read more

My husband and I been coming to Asado for many years. Unfortunately, tonight will be my last visit. Our server took our order and that was the last time we saw her the entire night. Whenever we asked her a question, she ignored us or acted very annoyed. Other tables were having the same issue read more

Jackpot. Amazing flavorful tacos. Wonderful service. And a full belly(great portion sizes for price).What more could you want? On to the specifics: Honey siracha taco was pretty good. I'm ngl, it was a bit overhyped from what my friends told me but that doesn't invalidate it as still a good taco. It's a simple tangy sweet and spicy flavor loaded with toppings. Shrimp was grilled extremely well. Pineapple teriyaki taco was my favorite. It hits you with that one two jab of sweet and savory and knocks you out with a mild Smokey after taste. read more

Definitely may frequent this place again if I'm back in the area. read more

Asado Taco & Wing Factory is one of my favorite eats in Charlottesville, VA! All of their food is to die for, and their menu is constantly innovating. As a vegetarian, I am in love with their Cauliflower Wings (reminds of gobi manchurian with a zesty and spicy twist). All of their sauces complement the dishes well! Their tacos are also equally as flavorful. My two favorites are the Papas Bravas and Spicy Portobello. Both are filling and satisfying and make my meal each time. The nachos are HUGE and amazing. The queso is light but packed with flavor and complements all the ingredients perfectly. Asado's combos make it easy to try multiple dishes without breaking the bank! read more

Recently, we have visited this establishment when we were greeted by the nice host to get a to go order which we later got sat at the bar to wait for our food with the nice bartender who asked if we wanted any drinks while we waited. The wait was pleasingly short, even though it was very crowded. However, when we got back with our food, we were very disappointed with what we received. We had ordered two orders of boneless wings which had seemed like they had been in a fryer all day. They were VERY burnt and unpleasant to eat, we couldn't even finish them because of how hard and burnt they were. The price seemed very high for what we were served. We also got a side order of carrots and celery which were fresh, however they were very chewy. We both felt not very great after eating this meal and probably wouldn't re-order what we got. Staff overall was very sweet but food was not good. read more

We took our son and his roommates here for lunch and had a great meal. The restaurant is located in The Corner area, at the edge of Grounds at UVA. We were able to sit outside and be socially distanced. It was a beautiful afternoon, but I saw that they have heaters available for when it gets cooler. Our server brought waters right away and took our orders quickly. Most of the guys got the Dos Locos Tacos which came with a taco and wings. It was a lot of good, and they all said how tasty the wings are. I shared a Baja fish taco and honey sriracha shrimp taco with my husband...they were both quite large and more than enough food for the two of us. The tacos were delicious, and a little spicy (for me), but most people probably wouldn't find them too hot. I also had one of their margaritas--raspberry, and it was quite tasty. I'd definitely like to have one when it's hotter outside. Overall, great food and the prices are reasonable. read more

You HAVE to try the potato taco!! The Asado's in Charlottesville has the best one! The Richmond one was meh. We came here for my 21st birthday, and the waitress gave me a free birthday drink! My friend and I split the dip sampler. I've had a lot of guacamole, but this was THE best guac I've ever had. The chips were so good to! (I never thought I'd like chips and guac this much) Passionfruit margarita was great!!! If you can't stand the alcohol taste, this is a great drink choice. My friend got the blood orange one, and it definitely tasted stronger, so not my favorite. read more

My first interaction was standing at the outdoor hostess stand... waiting for the hostess to actually take a second to acknowledge me standing there as she wrestled with the cash register or computer or whatever she was doing for another for another staff member. Finally, a very nice server saw what was going on as she was rolling silver and decided to take charge, greet and seat me... thank you whoever you are. Anyway, moving on... Ordered the Dip sampler, buffalo wings and Chori Pollo Taco Dip sampler... was missing 1/3 of the sample because they ran out of guacamole... WTF, guess it's not made to order for sure. Anyway, chips are really good but could use more salt... queso is ok... kinda like bland cheese with a slow-arriving bit of heat afterwards... salsa pretty decent Taco for me could have been an immediate fail because no corn tortillas... but when it was described as "Jumbo" I wasn't expecting corn. When it arrived (as you can see from the pics) a lot of lettuce, not so much meat... well, that's what I thought h 'til biting into it. Pretty dang amazing flavor. The wings were good... them being grilled added a little something to them beyond the usual. As a follow up to the initial experience at hosts stand, the staff (including the hostess pretending not to see me) were all on task and welcoming. All in all, pretty solid dive if you're looking for a cold beer, wings and tacos. read more

I haven't been here since covid so I can't comment on how well they're handling service and social distancing guidelines. However, I order from here a lot and love going here to eat. I always get the taco salad with honey lime dressing--it's so filling because of all the toppings and a great price point. If I add shrimp it usually lasts me two meals. I also really like their quesadillas because there's a solid amount of cheese and I like the vegetarian (mushroom) option. I've only had a taco once and it was tasty but I sort of wish they were smaller tacos. People rave about the chips--for me they're a little too thick but I still enjoy eating their nachos (because I love the queso). I also think their French fries are overly salted. Overall the atmosphere is great. They have good deals on food and drinks, karaoke is fun, and they have a lot of fun drinks (I really enjoy the frozen margaritas). read more

Decided to try out Asado as they offer my two favorites - tacos and wings! I ordered a quesadilla and pineapple teriyaki wings The wings were ok, not my favorite.

My friend and I were looking for a new spot to eat in Charlottesville and stumbled across Asado, we took a brief look over the menu and headed in. We were greeted by a bunch of friendly staff that took us to our seat. We ended up getting the chips and queso and the loaded Cajun fries to start with, both were good. The chips were super crunchy and went well with the queso, but honestly I was more into the loaded Cajun fries. The fries itself had good seasoning, and pairing that with the jalapeños and queso made for a great combination. Then we got our tacos. I ended up getting the honey sriracha shrimp taco and the pineapple teriyaki shrimp taco. (I had them both with fried shrimp) The honey sriracha one was surprisingly spicy and it was balanced out with the more sweet pineapple teriyaki shrimp taco. Both were good and I'd definitely recommend giving those two a shot. Everything we had was good, but it still felt like it was missing something to make it amazing. Nevertheless, I definitely recommend and will be returning to try more tacos! read more

Came here on Thursday for their half off boneless wings. Got the honey bbq and it was delish, Asado has never disappointed me with the wings. I've tried other flavors here and they've also been quite delicious. My friend got sweet potatoes fries and mentioned that she wished the fries had salt. I was disappointed by the fact that they were unable to seat us inside though. Usually they ask if we wanted to sit inside or outside but today they told me that they are unable to do separate waiting lists for inside or outside. It was pretty cold and the heaters outside did not work despite employees trying to fix them. All in all, the food here is fantastic, the prices are unbeatable, and it's a great place to grab dinner with friends. read more

There are two types of people in this world: people who think of Asado as a taco place and people who think of it as a wing place. They do both so well that I'd say the camps are pretty evenly split. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants on the corner, their taco Tuesday and wing Wednesday half-off specials can't be beat and it's usually worth the ever-present wait times for a table. Service in my experience has ranged from slow to average, although understandly as they are always busy. Knocked off a star due to lack of consistency - sometimes their wings are way too smoky for my taste that it even overpowers the sauce/dry rub seasoning. Quick tip: for their specials, if you end up needing a to-go box they'll charge you full price so make sure you only order what you can eat! Not sure when they started this policy as it seems to be a recent thing read more

Food was 5/5 but service was 0/5. Before I get into the food just wanted to talk about our server. When we ordered all the food the server looked at us confused and asked "is this all for here or take out?" and we were also confused and responded that it was for here. The server then reiterated that because it was Tuesday all tacos were half off so that meant we couldn't order any more - implying that what we ordered was too much for the three of us? We kind of brushed it off and ignored the server from then. The service was really slow but understandable since it was the last day of classes. When the server came with our food they only brought two of our orders while my friend was left without a order. We asked what happened to our friend's order and the server rolled their eyes and said that they "didn't write it down". So we obviously were annoyed and sat there and waited for my friend's order. The server came with the food and just dropped it in front of my friend spilling the contents inside the tacos and walked away without saying anything. After eating, we were all splitting the check and we simply just wanted the total to be split into three but when the server came back all the prices were extremely different even though we all ordered the same thing. This back Ajax forth happened multiple times and I was fed up and offered to just pay the whole thing and have my friends Venmo me back but my friend asked the server for the manager and the server looked upset and annoyed at this request. What annoyed me the most is that every time the server set down our "split checks" they were smirk at us as if they knew what they were doing and got a laugh at our annoyed reactions - really uncalled for. Thankfully, the manager was able to help us out with the checks. I have a hard time emphasizing with the server because I would understand if they were new, having a bad day, etc. but just the overall judgmental and childish attitude of the server ruined our moods. The food was delicious which definitely lighten up the mood. We shared pineapple teriyaki wings and honey bbq boneless wings. I usually don't like boneless but in this case I actually preferred the boneless because the chicken was extremely tender and juicy and honey bbq is always a fav. I got the pineapple teriyaki shrimp (fried) tacos and they were the perfect mixture of sweet, savory, and tanginess. My friends absolutely enjoyed their tacos as well. We will happily come back to asados in hopes that we don't get served by the same server. read more
