Los Braseros Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Austin

I really enjoyed the food and my experience at this restaurant.

When we first arrived, we thought the huge wall decoration on the exterior at the front of the restaurant was rather odd and gaudy. However, because of it, I assumed that the interior and the dinner would be a unique experience. My assumption was correct and I was not disappointed.

The interior and atmosphere was very colorful. It seemed that every single chair at all of the tables had a different scene hand-painted on it. I could tell that much effort had been put into the atmosphere of the restaurant and I liked it.

Because the menu was expansive (there were so many dishes that had scrumptious descriptions), it took me a long time to decide what I wanted. My server was very patient with me. Thank goodness.

I finally decided on the Chicken Burrito Ranchero, but instead of Ranchero sauce, I wanted mole. My server indicated that this substitution would not be a problem. My husband ordered a chicken quesadilla, which is the normal dish that he gets from any Mexican restaurant.

Our food was absolutely delectable, and the portion sizes were huge. We had to force ourselves to stop eating so that we would not have that “miserable full” feeling that occurs when we just eat everything at dinner. I had enough leftovers for two meals, and my husband had enough leftovers for one meal.

Everything about this restaurant makes me want to return here. Also, they offer live music on certain nights. As we were leaving (this was a Wednesday night) the Karaoke Jockey was starting to set up. I only wish we could have stayed to stay enjoy those festivities.

Overall, we enjoyed the atmosphere, the service, the food, and the promise of live entertainment on...

I have been to this place a bunch of times with my husband and we have an okay experience usually. (If you like cold food with a long wait than this place is for you.) Tonight we had the worst experience. We came in right before the dinner rush and we ordered our plates. It took them 38 minutes to bring us our plates to the table which is normal for this place especially since its cinco de mayo. What made us so frustrated was that our food was very cold as if it was sitting on the counter in the kitchen for 38 minutes. I sent my plate back to be warmed up. The kitchen staff put the food on another cold plate like it would make a difference in temperature. My food was never heated. It took them 5 minutes to bring me back the same cold food. I don’t think they know how to warm up food here. The menu has a lot of options but maybe that is the problem here. 🤔 Every time I order a carne asada it comes back hot. So why is it when I order fish I get cold food? I'm curious if y'all run across the street and order it somewhere else just to serve it as an option. This restaurant needs to make some changes. For 1 you need an actual manager present at all times because the guy you sent to my table was not a manager. He couldn't communicate well in español and English. Tip number 2 cut down the options on your menu because your cooks can't get the food out the kitchen fast enough for it to stay warm. My husband and I are not planning to return...

I don't usually leave reviews but I feel like this needs to be told. So 2 years ago on April, my mom and I went to eat this place. I got fish my mom got tacos. After a few hours I began to feel nauseous and my stomach hurted, next day I threw up a lot. I go to the hospital because I was dehydrated. I believe the food was the reason I ended up in the hospital. Yesterday my mom went to eat with a friend here. She got scrambled eggs with cactus, after a few hours she said she began to feel nauseous and pain in her stomach. She goes to work then comes back after 5 hours saying she doesn't feel good, she threw up a lot and had a terrible fever. She was showing the same symptoms that I had 2 years ago. I asked her where she ate and she tells me "El taqueria" I tell her if it was the one at Lamar and she said yes. We went to the hospital because the next day she still had a fever and couldn't stop throwing up. She's doing ok now which I'm glad. Honestly everytime I look at the place I feel sick and nauseous.

I know this is long but I just want to warn people to check their food, if it looks funny, tastes funny, smells funny, or you feel like something is wrong with your food, don't eat. Do not think that it won't hurt you because it will. I guess we both got unlucky with our food. Wish y'all luck if you do get...
