ASI Mexican Fusion Bistro

I’d give even less if I could, aside from being slow in serving, I don’t even don’t want to go there, we ordered more chips and a box for takeaway… but it toook ages for the guy to come to our table again and nope they totally forgot. He came to ask if we are done and want bill.
Come here if the whole afternoon and night you’re free and just want to sit for hours doing nothing and sometimes eating

Great place for fusion Mexican Mediterranean cuisine. They have happy hour with some interesting combinations and beer and sangria pitchers. Check out the food pictures. The serving staff are not so efficient but the place is quieter than Aquis with good distance between tables. The servers don't state that but extra humus is $3

Love the chips - they are not from a bag, they are fried and home made and therefore are the best chips I’ve had in years.

I have had the build your own plate. A good meal and reasonable price.

Had dinner at ASI and tried the beef tostaditos, quesabirria, and super quesabirria. All were delicious and the atmosphere and service were very welcoming. Looking forward to coming back here!

We just left and I am very full. We went on a Friday night, they said Friday nights were their busiest night. We didn't have to wait but there was only 1 open table, worth any wait though. Service was good, food was good. I'd recommend the tostadas on the appetizer menu hands down, wonderful mix of flavors.

We recently ate at ASI and had a wonderful experience. The restaurant feels very homey, and the food is clearly made with love. The complimentary nachos with sauces were a great start. We tried the Lentejas soup, Tacos Tijuana, and the Build Your Own Bowl — everything was flavorful, fresh, and filling. Isabella, one of the co-owners, served us and was warm and personable, which made the experience even better.

What makes ASI stand out is not just the quality of the food, but also the inclusivity. In addition to great Mexican flavors, they’ve added Arab-Mediterranean dishes, and they also go the extra mile to offer halal chicken and beef. The owners have been very transparent about their sourcing and preparation, which is rare to see in non-Muslim-owned restaurants.

It may be a bit of a drive to South San Jose, but it’s absolutely worth it. We’re already planning to come back with our family for future meals. A big thank you to Lourdes and Isabella for creating such a welcoming space — it’s the kind of restaurant our community truly needs and deserves.

What a great spot, offering a fusion of two excellent cuisines. We ordered the carne asada and chicken al pastor kabobs, they were so good! Chabelas & micheladas were spot on! Will definitely return!
