Las Asadas Fresh Mexican Grill & Taqueria

The food used to be better. The customer service is the WORST I’ve ever experienced. It’s not even worth it. + it’s waaaaaaaaaay OVERPRICED.

First time there, the food is okay. I probably won’t go back, Taco Village is way better.

they can’t even wrap a burrito. what else do I need to say
if you want a mess all over your table and clothes, this is your place.

This place USED to be the bomb? The MEAT bomb that is… their super burrito was jammed with steak and very little beans. Now it’s the opposite, I had a super burrito with a can of coke and dropped 11.88, not a problem with the cash if they had brought the meat! This is too bad… the meat tastes good but they don’t have the quantity for the price ! I have given them several chances and they get no more, sorry

Great tacos! As authentic as it gets. Good quality Mexican food. It’s a taqueria NOT a restaurant or dine in 5 star. Know that you will get exactly what you’re supposed to. Good fresh food quick and affordable!

The place is dirty the staff is not polite, the steak is tasty but huge pieces of fat, the tortillas are microwaved and often re-​heated so you get hard pieces of tortilla it used to be very good but it has gone down. Get ready to pay more than $ 6 for a torta with very little meat.

The food is good, the steak is tender and tasty. It’s a hole in the wall and they charge quite a bit, but it is good overall. They need to add Chips and Salsa to their menu and maybe a red salsa for burritos as well.

Unfortunately the quality of the food has gone down. I ordered the steak burrito as usual but this time the meat was tough and no longer seasoned the way it had been in the past. I could barely chew the steak and many pieces of fat were found.
The place was empty on a Saturday at lunchtime. Now I know why. It used to be packed at this time.
The green salsa was very hot and the Orange Jarritos soda was good as usual. The woman who took our order was very friendly. However, I do not plan on returning here again unless the reviews improve a great deal.
This used to be our favorite place for Mexican food, but alas, no more!

The steak tacos use to be good. The meat quality has gone down. But the customer service is the worst. There is a lady that takes the orders and there is guy that makes the tacos in the back. The lady has an attitude and is always on her phone. One time she saw me coming and went out the back door and i just waited there for 5 minutes before she came back in to take my order.
I use to love their tacos but everythying has gone downhill. I go down the street at Los Torres and they have pretty good tacos there and alot better service.

Not a huge menu but every taco we ordered was great. Looks like a hole in the wall but the food is real…

Hold up, wait a minute.
Please disregard my check in tip.
I am pretty sure this place has changed ownership, and if not… It has fallen off severely. At one time, and not too long ago, and for a looong time, this place rocked for steak. The prices have skyrocketed! The steak, once almost always freshly grilled with bits of char and a solid salting has devolved. The steak used to be SO GOOD that we all could overlook the microwaving of the tortillas. Now? The steak is steam tray held, mushy and salt watery. The green sauce, while always weak –is now just green slime with flotsam in it. Sorry y’all, head east to Comales, or west to La Rosita grocery store… Las Asadas on Lee as we know it… Ees dead.

No manchen! My fellow Mexicans would agree that this place is a disgrace to us all. One of the company’s locations for whom I work for was short staffed so I went to help out. Lunch time was arriving and I was craving some authentic Mexican food. I took some advice from my coworkers and took a leap of faith. I ordered una torta de asada and it came out to be a few cents short of $ 8! Abusan de la gente! They knew that I was aware of being ripped off but I convinced myself that I was helping a local business out. My mistake! I asked for salsa roja and to my dismay they only offered salsa verde. I got in my car and prepared myself for whatever was about to happen. Where do I even begin?! The bread was soggy because they used frijoles de la olla. The steak was nothing but fat and a sorry excuse of one tiny piece of «good» meat. I finished it only because I felt guilty that I had just paid that much. I felt sick the second I finished and now I sit here, at work with a stomach ache.
I will never recommend this establishment to anyone.
¡qué asco!

The best steak tacos and burrito you will find in Chicago. Taste is very authentic and quality is muy bueno. It tastes like a Saturday afternoon at your Mexican neighbors house.

This place is a joke. I ordered three tacos: one steak, one chicken, and one chorizo. It was almost $ 11 dollars and I asked for cheese on all three of the tacos. I open up the steak taco, and notice that there isn’t any cheese on it. So I walk up and ask them to put cheese on it and she gives me a cup of shredded cheese to put on my tacos. The idea was to have the cheese melted. The steak was extremely fatty, took me 3 minutes to chew it to make sure I wouldn’t choke. The chorizo taco was a messy slop of grease (I realize chorizo is greasy but this was over the top) and didnt taste good at all. Just do yourself a favor and AVOID AT ALL COSTS! :-(

This place has great burritos. The carne asada is real, properly grilled meat of good quality. Unfortunately, the burritos are so good that I have no basis to review anything else. The place is a typical no frills small joint with good visibility into the kitchen so you can bet your food is fresh. A little pricey for a burrito (around $ 9) but not too bad considering it is a Mexican oasis in the burbs

I am sorry for the BAD review but I just finished a carne asada burrito that I paid $ 8.83 for including tax and I am still hungry! I have been coming here for over 10 (yes TEN) years and the last 3 or 4 times I felt the portions were small. The staff is okay and the place is the same dump it has always been but COME ON! Feed a brother well if he pays full freight and is polite!!!
My Spanish isn’t great so I may come back with one of my kids who is fluent and see if I can politely explain that you either raise prices and maintain portion size or maintain prices and lower portion size — not both! I only get the carne asada tacos or burritos and the flavor of the meat is usually excellent but I am going to stop coming if I have to run across the street for a McDouble to fill my gullet!

I’ve never been so disappointed with a hole in the wall Mexican food joint. I opened up a Unilocal account just to say how bad this place is. I ordered a steak torta; couldn’t chew the steak, didn’t even taste grilled and there were pieces of fat that were unchewable. Ordered a side of rice that tasted like it was microwaved. My bf ordered the steak burrito and said it was eh. I give it one star bc the horchata was yummy.
I would not recommend this place to anyone. It is super expensive for the quality of food. Everything we ordered came out to be $ 22. I kept looking at Taco Village as I ate.

I just can’t get past the filth and bad attitude at this place. 10 years ago this place was still a dump, but at least there was care taken with the appearance, food and services.
The food is only so-​so. I have had good and bad meals here over the years. And they don’t serve tongue, but for the sharpe ones in thier heads.
No lengua, no mas

Some of the best Mexican food! The place is really a hole in the wall, don’t let that scare you away. Their carne asada is so full of flavor, juicy, just so well marinated and seasoned! I have had their tortas, tacos and burritos. All quite amazing! Be aware the they put on a LOT of onions and cilantro on their tacos, so if you don’t want a lot, make sure to mention it. Burritos, go with the supreme, don’t waste your time with anything else! That covers the food portion, which is hands down five stars.
Service, first of all, please stay open for the hours posted. It has happened on a few occasions that I got there and their doors were closed for the night. That should not happen. Also, I have been going here now for about 3 – 4 years. At first, the service was awesome, but recently, it appears they may have had a change of staff, which do not have the best attitudes. Has gotten better though.
In a nutshell, do you love Mexican food? Quite delicious! Don’t let the skeezy motel scare you away ;)

Great steak burritos! Better than El Famous.

Me likey! It seems 1000 great Mexican fast food places like this have appeared all over Chicagoland! Las Asadas is outstanding.
Conveniently located right up the road from the sacred McDonald’s Museum Store #1 (should you want to visit the birthplace of child obesity). Also next to the creepiest looking Motel you have ever seen.
Excellent steak tacos, very authentic served complete with lime and a container of that super-​spicy green hot sauce; and (very important) no giant gross hunks of gristle.
As other Unilocalers have stated, this is not a date night place. The décor is shabby Tijuana, but it is mostly clean and has a friendly bilingual staff.
I may need to edit my review later as I am still on a quest for the best carne asada in Chicago. For now, this is the place.
