Walked in with every intention of supporting this local restaurant, when the insides looked run-down and had tacos ranging in the $3.50-$5.00/piece range... Despite these signs, I spent ~$20 on a taco plate with rice & beans and tried 4 tacos: Chile Relleno, Vegetarian, Chicken, Al Pastor.... The STANDOUT TACO WAS THE VEGGIE TACO.... but barely so.... How could a taco spot not even get Al Pastor right? Should I have tried their Asada tacos- it's in the name. Whatever is the case... I am disappointed and will never voluntarily go back. This place gives NW Chicago tacos a bad rep :`( read more

Las Asadas - Chicken Taco, seems like they boil their chicken, not good at all :( - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Tacos are amazing 10/10 !!!!! I had two carne asada tacos. Maria was also very sweet. Going back soon!

This used to be the best carne asada taco around. Prices went UP, size and flavor down. do your math.

I always go to Lazo's for authentic Mexican, and wanted something different. Las Asadas is a block North. It's decent "fast food" Mexican food for the price. I ordered the Chorizo Super Burrito and Carne Asada Super Burrito for pickup. Burrito comes with choice of meat, cheese, beans, onions, rice, cilantro, and tomato. There was a ton of meat. Not a lot of the other ingredients. Total was $25. Seems expensive but you get more bang for your buck. One super burrito equals two meals. The Chorizo had a nice spice flavor and was salty. The Carne Asada was tender- so good!! Comes with green salsa- medium heat. Burritos were made in 10 minutes. Stay away from the tacos. Not worth it. I want to try the tostadas next! read more

Las Asadas - Super burrito - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This pains me because I try to only leave positive reviews. I live nearby and have always enjoyed the Super Burrito. It is a very good burrito, maybe the best in the neighborhood. But some egregious happened, when I decided to order a plain quesadilla and it was literally just two small corn tacos with melted cheese in the middle. Come on. Also kind of nickel and dimes for salsa and extras like sour cream. Generally just a little overpriced for the quality not being incredible. I'd save it for drunk food and be pleasantly surpirsed read more

The burrito I had here was a good. Inexpensive for a vegetarian burritos, and it was large. There are some tables inside if you want to eat in but takeout is definitely the name of their game. Came here with a group and everyone liked their food + service was fast for a Saturday night. read more

If I could I'd give it We went in just wanting tacos. My mom mentioned that that the tacos were on the pricey side and the cashier apparently took offense. He very smartly said that he wasn't going to say anything to her because he didn't want to offend her, then as she's ORDERING he says if you want I can direct you to a place that charges $6 for a taco. Well that $6 dollar place might be charging high but I'm sure they are delivering consistent product. This food was terrible. I ordered a steak torta and when I went to eat it the torta looked smooshes and the meat was gray. And not gray as if they had cooked it ahead of time like gray as in they had boiled it and just put it on the bread. It tasted terrible I threw it away. The Alpastor was poorly seasoned pork, it had no flavor and the big chunks of pineapple just made it too sweet. I ordered a chicken taco for my daughter and it was just boiled chicken. For him being so offense at the price I would have hoped the would have been better. This is the worst Mexican restaurant I have ever been to in my lifetime. I forgot the forgettable horchata was just milk with some cinnamon. Whoever is deciding how the food is made needs to be fired. It's unfortunate because my mom has fond memories of this place. If you want decent food go to Arturo's down the street or Taqueria Mazamitla on Belmont. Won't be coming back here, not even drunk. Also they're parking lot is stupid. read more

They have the BEST meat in any tacos/burritos around, quality-wise and ratio to other ingredients! Big chunks of meat, not that shredded and/or gristly crap most places serve. I typically get chicken or steak, barbacoa is great as well. I'm waiting for the day they add carnitas. They may be a bit more expensive but it's absolutely worth it! I first had them at their old Brookfield location years ago, but when they shut down I resorted to their 47th St location (defunct as well) which never did live up... But I came to try this joint and the old Asada Magic I knew and loved has returned to my life! I almost cried after I ate that burrito! And the dude was really nice, quick service. Got the extra salsas I asked for which are freshly made with a good flavor and heat level. They also thankfully have a parking lot, since street parking is shitty in that area; it's a tight squeeze tho, lol. read more

Baracola 5 star he uses beef cheeks seasoned perfectly with perfect salsa. No idea why ratings aren't higher. Try the baracola tell me it isn't 5 star??? Nice people working there read more

Horchata exactly like you want it to taste & for only $2.95!!! We drive all the way out here just for it. The flavor & consistency is perfect. read more

Just moved to the neighborhood and stopped in last night after coming home from running errands. Met Tony and Dave who own it and they were so nice and friendly! They went above and beyond sharing samples and making sure we found our new favorites. We had two super burritos -- the carne asada and el pastor. The el pastor super burrito was out of this world good!! The carne asada was also good, but the OMG the el pastor has SO MUCH flavor and was so tender. Will definitely be back to try more things on the menu! read more

This is the first and last time I will visit this location. I have been to the one in desplaines which was very good but this one was awful. We had 2 Carne asada burritos. The steak was boiled not grilled like they do at desplaines. Very unappetizing. There was liquid pouring out of the tortilla. I hope this was just a bad day for them. I will retry at desplaines but not the one on western. read more

Tonight's not my night. Check engine light came on, had connection issues while ubering my night away, and now I'm here, and I'm starving. Three steak tacos (w/cheese and sour cream) and a coke, and $14 later I'm like...really? The food is legit and the real deal. But come on, $14 for 3 tacos and a drink? No chips and salsa to accompany. No rice and beans to make it worth it. They don't even have a taco dinner plate where I can see paying $14. After probably incurring an overdraft fee by giving them my life life savings lol, I had good tacos but not for their prices. Sh*t you not I'll be starving in an hour. Oh well. Legit tacos alone aren't enough to make me revisit. Good byyyyyyye, nice to know you (in my Incubus voice, lol). read more

Las Asadas - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place was fantastic the food was delightful!! Wonderful patio seating and service! Tony was great! Will be back Spider-Man read more

Simple, delicious, made to order food served fast. Staff are very friendly, ingredients are fresh and generously served and the burritos are huge. The black salsa is not to be missed. read more

This place lost its touch for making Mexican food. I came in ordered 3 steak tacos and 1 Al pastor taco. I was very disappointed at the quality of meat. The steak not sure if they boil it or how it's made but they sure as heck don't throw it on the plancha (griddle) to give it nice dark color. Literally when I opened the wrapper they were in it looked like soup steak tacos so much water on them did not enjoy it. The Al pastor taco was even worse not sure if it was really pork meat or chicken cut up fine in a red sauce that tasted nothing close to the authentic flavor that Al pastor should have. Definitely not worth the 20 I spent save your money and find a different place to get tacos. read more

Hahahaha. I know not everybody gonna feel the same way I do about a place. That's cool. But your opinion is void when you bash this place then tell people to go to Lazo's or Arturo's instead. Come on son. Your drunk ass can eat all the mediocre food you want, but don't act like that sh*t tastes good. Anyhow, my Las Asadas history dates back about 10 years when I was out in dem 'burbs and threw down at their Des Plaines locations. I deemed it the best steak I've had at any taqueria. Being reacquainted with them at this location after some years, I don't feel much differently. Sure, I've since discovered new places that also have bomb ass steak tacos and burritos. But Las Asadas is still one of a kind. Haters will tell you they're overpriced, but you have to distinguish something overpriced from paying for extra quality. And Las Asadas definitely falls under the latter in your boy's book. Not everyone will agree with me obviously, but don't slander this place by lying to yourself and others that a couple of places renown for only eating from when you're drunk is "better". That's a fool's errand. read more

What happened to the quality. I see the guy cooking it but my meat must have been made yesterday. :( Oh well. On to the next one. read more

This is probably one of my favorite go to taco places. They that Grimm the steak here on grates not the typical flat top grill ( big difference) The barbacoa ( steamed beef) taxis here are prepared the way its supposed to be , they trim all the fat off add stream it till its so tender that your mouth waters. You gotta try it if you never have. The burritos are like huge. I get mine with just cilantro & onion so I can get the full flavor of the meat & man oh man the thing must weigh like 2lbs and is ever so juicy and filling. You gotta try this place. And you will notice three difference immediately. Expect to pay because it is pricey at $9.25 just for the burrito & 2.95 for a taco, but its $$ well spent. It must be s Chicago thing because many places give it for free but don't expect free chips & salsa ' that'll run you another $2.00 & you can order guacamole which just went up to $7.50. They offer dinner plates too but i only go there for their tacos & burritos. You want a dinner plate? This is not the place. They do offer a variety of options for your eating pleasure whether its vegetarian or a mixture of condiments to go inside the tortilla. Parking is rough so look to walk just a little if you don't find one right away. And there are tables that seat both 4 or 2 per. I counted 22 chairs total. Clean & sanitary here. Give it a try. read more

Simple and delicious. I had the steak torta and it was awesome. I am picky about the rice and it was perfect!! Flavored just right.. We ordered the tacos and were so pleased! Yum read more

This hole in the wall taqueria had the BEST chile relleno burrito I've ever had. OMG, it was a really late night and we needed some grub after hitting up a few bars and this place was just amazing for that. We were lucky, because they were about to close down, so just made it. The other thing I really liked was the outdoor seating. It was a perfect evening to chill outside and have some amazing chile relleno burritos. Muaah! Can't wait to go back. read more

No exaggeration, I have probably eaten here more than 100 times. I almost always get the Asada burrito, but I've had some other menu items and they were also great. Quality of meat sets it apart from other Mexican in the area. I consider myself a foodie, but on many days nothing can beat a burrito from here. Highly recommend! read more

I think that at the time of my last review, I was comparing price and value to other locations that offer about the same value. However this is Logan Square so I believe it's pretty fair for the area. The food is great no complaints read more

Las Asadas - Not worth it. - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Let's keep it real. For Mexican, you gotta go south of the border- I mean the south side of the city. If you can't make it that long without food, there's always a great spot (for being on the north side at least.) Las asadas has the taco game covered. Their burritos, tortas and tacos are all off the hook. The meat is tender, cooked to order, and the tortillas are fresh. If driving south is too much for your stomach to handle, you have a friend here. read more

If you're looking for the best taco place this is it! Amazing ! It's a hole in the wall and is awesome. Definitely call in to order pick up because it's cheaper than through the app. The owner is extremely nice and welcoming I will for sure come again. read more

5 Stars for the star of the show - the carne. I haven't ever ordered anything else (either at the old location or the new) as they do steak so well, there isn't a point. My recipe to cure your "I'm broke but I need steak blues:" Go. Order steak tacos or a burrito. Order it "authentico" lightly dressed with cilantro and onion. If you get a burrito, consider ponying up for some avacado as they give you huge, fresh wedges. Dress with their fiendishly delicious house made green salsa (test first as the heat varies from batch to batch). Order a giant Mexican coke in a glass bottle. Eat. Don't worry if you begin to emit odd grunts and groans of satisfaction, it's only natural. Fall into a steak induced bliss coma. Repeat as needed. read more

I was told the steak at Las Asadas was money...my friend Ryan was right! Cheap, a little banged up, a little divey: perfect. $2/taco, heaping with portions? Perfect. Carne asada, lengua, barbacoa? All good in the hood. Another jewel within a 20-minute walk of my house that it took seven months to hit...I'm such an idiot. I'll be back, Mr. Las Asadas!! (Next time, don't be out of picadillo though!) read more

I absolutely love this place. We get takeout here for the whole family often and that means satisfying adults and little kids. The chicken huaraches and tostadas are a favorite, but I also get the veggie burrito often. Note that the tacos are the cilantro and onions style, not the lettuce and cheese sort. This works especially well with picadillo. The tostadas and related items have beans and sour cream and lettuce, though. They have a variety of meats including barbacoa and picadillo. Plus they're very friendly. So go support a neighborhood gem and make sure to get some salsa negra on the side. They roast the jalepenos! read more

I love this place....I really do, but they've overcharged every other time or forget something from my order. One time, it happens. Two times, annoying, but it happens. Three times? Now you're just annoying me. The chicken and steak tacos keep me coming back. I will say, I think the prices are fair. I've paid more for worse and less for...the same and since my favorite Peruvian place isn't re-opening, this is my go-to when I'm headed home and want tacos. The seasoning on the meat is perfect, it's not over cooked and the salsa has a nice kick. It took me a long time to come around, but I'm now a fan, even if they do mess up my order. read more

I am not sure why this place gets such high reviews. The food is good, but it's nothing to write home about. The service was fast, and my steak burrito was tasty, but its not like the meat was super fresh, or their combo's were original. It just felt like your run of the mill taco shop. If you are hungry and close by, this place will do. But it's not worth seeking out like some people make it out to be. read more

The most savory asada and chicken in town. The salsa negra is to die for. Big burritos for a decent price. And the chili relleno is wonderful. Friendly and clean establishment. read more

Las Asadas - a view of a street corner - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Call me a taco snob but I've had some of the best carne asada Chicago has to offer and the rest I have found to be mediocre. By name, I decided to put Las Asadas to the test. With roasted meat in the title and strong reviews, I had high hopes for Las Asadas' carne asada. The taste was better than the typical taco joints. If you know carne asada, then you know it's not just steak but its marinated meat with flavor. The meat was tender and had the savory aftertaste that I look for but not quite the best. Overall, not bad for $2 tacos. read more

Las Asadas - Carne asada - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Today (July 10, 2020) I tried to redeem a Groupon purchased on June 20, 2020, expiration October 18, 2020, and the restaurant refused to honor the voucher. The man I spoke to on the phone said the owner refuses to accept them anymore, so beware if you've purchased one as well. They won't take it. read more

I had a steak burrito at Las Asadas 2 days ago and I have not stopped craving nor raving about it. Las Asadas makes their steak the same way Mexican families make it when they're together. Big cuts of well marinaded arrachera (skirt steak) over hot charcoal. Only then is the meat cut up and served out. This leaves it juicy and flavorful. Phenomenal! We've all been drunk at Arturo's and shoved down the overcooked, low grade meat the serve out there. Walk a block up and get The Best Burrito in the hood! -BrokeHipster read more

Las Asadas - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Absolutely my favorite taco in this world! The picadillo is the best (and most addicting) ground beef recipe I've ever had. I lived across the street for 4 years and it's a must stop every time I'm back in Chicago. I dream of that picadillo! And to boot they're byob. read more

I've been coming here for over 10 years, pretty much once a week. I love their vegetarian burrito and rice and beans. They also sell Mexican Coke without the high fructose corn syrup. I highly recommend this place. And if you're out late and don't want to eat fast food, they are open till midnight read more

I'm a huge cemitas Puebla/Torta kinda girl so when I tell you Las Asadas has the best tortas i've ever had I'm not lying. Nestled in the heart of Bucktown this gem is only five min from my home in Logan Square. The Barbacoa Torta with cilantro onions and cheese, crema and salsa negra or carne asada are probably the best I have ever had in my entire 44 yr old life. Been eating Mexican cuisine since I was 14. I am an avid Mexican foodie and I love that I found this little gem in the heart of Chicago. BTW I'm Filipina if you're wondering read more

Las Asadas is "aiight". I mean my friend rave about this place. Apparently, my friends cannot be trusted with food recommendations. This place is open late. I TRIED to order the Chile Relleno taco, but they didn't have any ready. Then I tried to order the Chorizo and they told me "we are close to closing time.....but we can make some chorizo if you really want it." So being the person that I am, I made it. It was satisfactory. So if you are looking for some phenomenal tacos.....maybe peruse around yelp a bit more to find another spot. If you are just passing by and need a quick bite....this spot will suffice. read more

This family owned place serves up delicious tacos,burritos, and tortas! Rosa and Tony are busting their asses trying to keep the doors open so please make sure to put them on your list! read more

My wrapped burrito was watery. What? A soggy burrito. They use pinto beans and cilantro, I think that's what makes their burritos different. The water was from the canned beans, they must have a spoon without holes in it because that's where I think all the water came from. read more
