The food is delicious, but let me spitball some complaints.. 1. Shouldn’t find a bone in my tacos. 2. Crazy that tea costs what it does, comes in a small cup, and refills aren’t free. 3. Absolutely stupid that a large side of guac doesn’t come with chips. What’s the point?I hope they smooth out their pricing a little with drinks and sides to make the offerings feel worth it, but generally a decent spot for lunch!

Been here probably 5 times since they've opened and never had a bad bite. I think I've had 6 different tacos and they've all been great. Asylum is a spot everyone should try.

Besides the food being fresh and amazing, have you tried the margaritas at Asylum?? If not, you're definitely missing out! No sweet and sour or nasty tasting mixers. Fresh juice and a Tajin lined rim (my preference) makes for an absolutely PERFECT margarita. Also, the lemon drop comes close behind as a personal favorite
The best cocktails in Columbia. My wife loves their margaritas and I get their gin gimlet every time. If you’re looking for a great date night spot or just somewhere to get amazing, fresh food, and a terrific atmosphere— Asylum is the place. The Mediterranean Shrimp tacos and the Pan Roast are incredible.

The service was good. The tacos were very disappointing. We went to Victors Tacos immediately after because of how disappointing it was. Skip and go to Victors instead.1. The tortillas seemed like they were Mission Tortillas you get at the groceries.2. The shrimp tacos were served with over cooked shrimp with iceberg lettuce......3. Carne Asada and Steak Chimichurri tacos were over cooked. Korean BBQ one was good.4. Mojito was goodThis was my review on Google as well but the owner decided to respond with a snarky and arrogant response as to how they hand cut romaine lettuce for their tacos. So my response to that is: Your food isn't good and overpriced.

We have been wanting to try this place for awhile and saw the menu online and everything looked amazing and the cocktails sounded great. We just assumed they had beer and wine as well but they don't. I'm sure the food is good but what kind of taco place doesn't serve beer? This is a first for us.
