OK, Mr. Music is back in the game. He's in So Cal now, so let's see what he has to offer...

Lady Music and I were in Laguna Beach to explore an isolated beach. What a great place! We thought we'd have some sushi or seafood for dinner, but nothing caught our eye. Lady Music suggested a Mexican restaurant called Asada right on PCH in Laguna. My first thought was how good will it be in the middle of a touristy area of Laguna Beach? Then I wondered how spendy it might be. Much to my surprise, the prices on the menu were very reasonable. The food choices were intriguing too. Off we went!
Asada is a very small and cute place. There are plenty tables outside and several tables inside. It has a tropical feel. At first look it seems a little like a fast food joint. But let me tell you, the food is not nor does it taste like fast food. This is fresh, handmade fare! The menu has many choices. They offer soft tacos, hard shell tacos, enchiladas, or burritos filled with choices of yummy ingredients! You can get short ribs, seasoned chicken, carnitas, steak, cheese, salmon, shrimp, mahi mahi or even grilled veggies in them. They come ala carte or in a combo you can customize.
Lady Music opted for chicken enchiladas smothered with tomatillo sauce. They were sooo good! I had a combo with a carnitas enchilada, a chicken crunchy taco, and a mahi mahi soft taco. Everything was fresh and delicious, and the portions were big! We had rice and refried beans too. Both were yummy. My favorite were the carnitas enchilada and Ms Music's chicken enchiladas with tomatillo sauce. The salsa was nice, but very mild. I asked if they had any spicy salsa and they brought us a very tasty and hot habanero salsa. Yay! They also have several interesting looking appetizers, a few great looking salads and bowls and a good breakfast section (served all day). Oh, and some meat plates including birria. How do they fit all this on such a small menu! Drinks include horchata, agua frescas, sodas, beer on tap, house made sangria, wine, margaritas and more! We are big fans and dying to explore more of the menu. What about the service, you ask? delightful! The staff was attentive and friendly.
