Las Brisas Restaurant — Restaurant in Redondo Beach

Bad service and didn’t feel great afterwards. The host sat us and gave us chips. The waitress gave us waters, took our order, and we didn’t see her again for 20 minutes when she gave us our small soup and salad starters. The restaurant was not busy with only a few other tables seated. The chips and salsa and our waters were empty at this point but nothing was refilled or taken away. Another 20 minutes go by and still no food. The waitress did not check in on us or tell us it’d be out soon. Still no water refill. Finally the food comes out an hour after we ordered and the plate is burning hot (almost burnt my finger moving the plate). The rice is crispy on top so probably was sitting under the heater for a while. The food was okay, but not worth coming back for considering there are so many other Mexican restaurants nearby. The host , not the waitress, finally refilled our waters after we finished eating and the host gave us the check. From my perspective, it looked like the Spanish speaking tables were getting more attention and better service...

Over the many years, the locals have had our reunions, birthday parties, Christmas parties and more with 30-40 at a time for the classes from Aviation High School in the front banquet room. For July reunion weekend we planned a celebration to honor our classmate that had died. We made reservation way in advance, we always setup and clean up when we come, but this time they cancelled our reservation in less than a week before the event because they said that the staff were taking vacations and had no help, we had people driving and flying in from all over! The sheet cake and table flowers ordered… They left us in the dirt with nowhere else to go. We will not be coming back after 50+ years of these classmates patronizing this establishment, unacceptable after we have been true to...

Las Brisas is definitely a mixed bag. There are things to like about it, but there are other things not to like. The service is irregular, because I have been there many times and found that sometimes, you get great service, and other times, you feel like they don’t care. The menu item I like best is steak with rice and beans, but the chili relleno is good as well. I had a taco salad meal the other day, and was disappointed because the carnitas l got with it was a little burned. I should’ve sent it back. Anyway, overall, I will not complain too much, because the atmosphere is very nice, with cool Mexican decorations, and a quaint little patio. So I will come back, especially since it is less than a mile...
