Taco Asylum Review

Today we tried a new taco place, Taco Asylum, in Costa Mesa.  It was opened/started by the same person who opened Haven, in the Orange Circle.  We are big fans of Haven, and I had heard some good reviews from friends and Andrew likes to eat a new restaurant each and every weekend, so he was super excited.

WE TRIED: 4 different tacos - Duck, Beef Short Rib, Lamb, Ghost Chili Pork - Andrewe thought that each and everyone was delicious!  I thought the pork was too spicy (it burned my lips!), and I'm not a fan of lamb, so I didn't enjoy that one.

They are so pretty!

GOOD: The meat was delicious and ingrediants were really interesting. The location is small, but was pretty cool.  They serve lots of beer on tap  (we didn't have any, but pretty much everyone else in the room did).  Also, they had some homemade potato chips that looked pretty delish.

BAD: The tacos were pretty expensive - at $5-$6 each, meaning that we spent $23 on just 4 tacos.  Also, they didn't have any regular sodas, only natural hippy stuff (as a soda drinker, I don't like places like that!)

All in all, we really liked it!  Next time I think I want to try the "flight" of tacos.  For $18 you get a small (3") version of 8 of their tacos.
