HAVEN Honors Taco Asylum with New Taco Tuesday Menu
11.24.25
HAVEN craft kitchen+bar has introduced a new Taco Tuesday menu featuring inventive, globally inspired tacos that celebrate a beloved Orange County favorite from more than a decade ago, Taco Asylum.
Taco Asylum opened in 2011 as the sister restaurant to HAVEN and quickly gained a loyal following for its non-traditional, gourmet tacos influenced by flavors from around the world.
Known for creative ingredients, house-made sauces, sustainable meats and seafood, and support of local farms and vendors, the restaurant made its mark before changing ownership and later closing. It left a noticeable gap in Orange County’s dining scene.
HAVEN is bringing that spirit back every Tuesday with its new à la carte menu available all day. Executive Chef Scott Green has created a lineup that includes:
Braised Pachamama Pork
salsa quemada, smoked pork cracklings
Beer Battered Icelandic Cod
chili-lime slaw, aji crema, pico
Steak Alambre
beef filet, bacon, panela cheese, pickled serrano, bone marrow aioli
Charred Spanish Octopus
smoked shishito chimichurri, charred scallion aioli, crispy bistro potato
Duck Confit
mole, avocado crema, pickled onion, cotija, pico, cilantro
Sofritas
tofu chorizo, avocado, pico
The beverage team has also created agave-based cocktails that pair with the bold flavors. Highlights include the Scorched Earth, a margarita variation with Pueblo Viejo tequila, mezcal habanero honey, mango and lime, and Mexican Morphine with Pueblo Viejo tequila, mezcal, coconut pineapple, orange, lime and aromatic bitters. Guests can also explore an extensive list of craft beer, wine and spirits.
Taco Tuesday is offered from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. for in-house dining. For reservations and details, visit HAVENCraftKitchen.com.
