Low-key, contemporary counter serve turning out burritos, tacos & other Mexican staples.
PS
I ordered the shrimp tacos. It was one of the best tacos ive ever had. The shrimp was well seasoned, very tender, had a nice flavor, and had a nice kick to it. The food came with chips and 2 salsas. The chips were nothing special, however the salsas were very authentic. They were nice and spicy and tasted fresh. Overall a very good meal. Great customer service and almost no wait for the food. Highly recommend this place.

A corporate event on Eid Celebration was organized on 04/08/2025 in Motorola Mobility’s office in Merchandise Mart in Chicago. Asada Mexican Grill served fresh & hot lunch to 170 guests on the spot. They brought their portable cooking stations to serve the food warm. Fish/chicken/steak Taco & Steak/Chicken/Veggie Bowl were served. Each and every guest highly appreciated the quality of food. Each plate was stuffed with plenty of fish or meat irrespective of the bowl or taco. A team of fout from Asada Grill served the food quite efficiently within a span of 1 hours to all 170 guests without causing too long of a line or any excessive delay.
We, the organizers, were extremely happy with the reasonable rate of the food and the quality of the service. Mr. Sharif, the owner of Asada Grill, was supervising the entire process by himself. I would strongly recommend everyone to cater Asada Mexican Grill’s delicious menu in your next event, whether it’s a corporate event or an in-house get together. Give them an opportunity at least once to host a successful event. I can guarantee your guests would love their excellent food and even better service. I know lately they served our tenants Grainger multiple times in various corporate events during the past couple of months. Received positive feedback from those events as well.

So I was searching for halal options in the loop and this place popped up. Walking in there I wasn’t 100% sure what items are halal so I asked the guy behind the counter (brother Sharif), who turned out to be the owner. He confirmed that all their meat is halal and they also have the certificate on the wall.
I ordered tacos which were pretty solid. Brother Sharif was very nice and shared his restaurant knowledge and future expansion plans. I’d recommend this place and will definitely come back to try other items. Also, he told me that they serve breakfast as well which is on my list for next week.

Great service. I ordered the tacos and I asked for 3 different ones in a combo (fish, chicken and shrimp) costed me $13. I got the same ordered and the tacos were fully loaded. But taste wasn’t great, balance of spices ummm no no… It was almost bland because the veggies were not dressed. The meat tried separately were okay. Fish was old but well cooked and evenly coated. Chicken was okay too and shrimp needed salt.
The atmosphere is good but it is right next to the metro station and the noise takes the fun away. I would say affordable food at a noisy location but Chipotle over Asada anyday. The boy behind the counter gave me extra bag of chips (which was crispy and freshly fried… So loved it). And he also gave me a small batch of the chicken tortilla soup because I asked if he liked it. I’m a picky soup person.

Went here for a quick Taco Tuesday lunch, but actually got the Steak Fajitas, service was quick even with a little lunch time crowd action happening. Staff was friendly. The Fajitas were pretty good. Next time I go on a Tuesday will definitely have to try the tacos 😛

I had steak tacos. They offer good-sized portions, and I was impressed that their three taco meals came with chips and salsa. I could smell the black peppered steak as soon as I opened my to-go container. Not your typical Mexican tacos. It also looks like they use flank steak cuts instead of ribeye or skirt steak.
The Staff was really nice, but I don’t think I’ll return.
