Asilah actually has some of the best tagine we had anywhere in Morocco. It may have been because it was our first tagine in Morocco, but we still talk about it as the best. The lamb tagine in particular was to die for. To get some of the best food, head to the restaurants right outside of the gate to the medina. They have both outdoor and indoor seating. If you end up sitting inside, ask if you can eat on the roof or top floor, so you can have the views of the medina.

Also, while you're in Asilah, don't pass up the traditional Moroccan candies and desserts. They're delicious and homemade. They usually involve some form of a nut concoction and can be quite cheap. You can buy them from shops within the medinas, or from men or children who carry them around on carts for sell.
