Food at La Brisa is excellent! Service is outstanding - Marita is our favorite server! Restaurant is nicely decorated with a separate bar area. Great happy hour prices, too! They have GREAT top shelf margaritas! We come here very frequently and it never disappoints!

La Brisa Mexican Restaurant is located in a somewhat nondescript shopping plaza and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. The service was friendly and with Mexican food being a favorite cuisine, I thought my burrito was pretty good. I travel a lot for work and I probably get Mexican food more than any other cuisine. I have always found (at least in my opinion) that Mexican restaurants offer the most consistent food over other cuisines. Maybe I got in the habit of eating at Mexican restaurants in this long ago days before Yelp and the internet when you just had to guess and roll the dice if a restaurant was good. Whatever the reason, Mexican food became and is still my go-to cuisine in my frequent business travels. As I said, I enjoyed my burrito was tasty and I enjoyed my overall experience here.

Me and my boyfriend decided to try this spot out for the first time and it did not disappoint. We both got the the 2 taco combination dinner which came with rice and beans and the tacos were some of the best one I have had in a long time. The employees there upon pickup were nice as well. As far as precautions towards covid, it works out since you do have the option to take out like we did. Overall I recommend everyone tries this place out if you're into mexican food.

There are many Mexican restaurants around town, but this one is on our regularly visited spots. The decor is what you have come to anticipate, and there are some typical menu options such as combo plates. However, I suggest ordering from the entree section of the menu - the Pork Carnitas and Chilaquiles were well seasoned and with the portions being larger in size, it can be challenging to finish in one sitting.

I don't know why yesterday was the first time I've eaten at this place, but it won't be the last time! This restaurant is in my area and I drive by it frequently. Yesterday, my husband went here to eat so I told him to pick me up a burrito. He did and y'all...it was delicious! He told them I like spicy/hot salsa so they gave him some to accompany my meal. It was actually hot! I loved it! Long story short...I'll be back!

Yummmm!!! Ordered the relleno burrito with grilled chicken and the quesadilla dinner the other night for take out with hubz and it HIT THE SPOT! I will say it was exactly what I was expecting which is all I ever ask for! The flavors were simple yet perfect, and everything was executed well. One thing I was upset with is with two dinner entrees we only got 2 tiny little condiment containers of salsa! Maybe I wouldn't have been so upset but the salsa was SO GOOD! I think that it should come with at least the amount you would get sitting at the table if you're getting dinner entrees. The burrito tortilla was super soft and it was filled with guacamole and perfectly grilled chicken. I think I will add lettuce inside next time. The queso was perfect and went amazing with a bite of burrito and the rice on the side. I will order this again and again! The quesadilla was also very tasty and filling. Simple but perfect! Lastly, we did order the carne asada taco and it completely fell apart when I opened it at home (I only live about 5 min away). The tortilla I think was wet maybe in the foil so when I went to pick it up it kind of just melted away. From what I picked at there was great flavor though and it left my fingers smelling like yummy street tacos! Probably won't order this for take out again but would try it if we ate here. Regardless- I will be back! Definitely check out the menu because it doesn't have tons and tons of options but the ones they have seem pretty solid.
