Solid 10/10 experience, very hospitable and friendly staff. Tamales were delicious and so were the margaritas, their tequila was high quality and delicious (not usualy a tequila person but it was very good tequila). Chips and salsa were also very good and I 100% recomend this restaurant for any birthday or celebration, even just regular dinner. We had a blast!

The food here never disappoints! I could happily eat here every week. The rosemary naan is a particular favorite. Try the Gobi Manchurian!

Food was VERY mediocre. If it wasn't for the gift card we wouldn't have gone. I had the Burrito Anamosa, and it lacked flavors, but it wasn't awful. Just boring. Next time I'll go back to Porfidios.
My wife and I have traveled all over the midwest (and she lived in Texas for 17 years), and we have eaten at a lot of restaurants, and even more Mexican restaurants. Some places have a good dish I like, or a good drink she likes, but not a lot have both. However, there is one restaraunt that CONSISTENTLY serves amazing food and drinks, with friendly staff and a genuine desire to make you happy... Las Brasas Restaurant, in Anamosa, Iowa. The owners, Henry and Gerson, are gifted chefs, who work very hard to give their customers a quality meal and a fun environment. They would literally give you the shirt off their backs, that's the kind of people they are. It is a family owned restaurant, and they are a great family. When we go to Las Brasas, we have our favorites, but every choice is quality food cooked right... with amazing flavor. My wife loves the rice, seasoned with garlic and spices, and always cooked just right. It's even better with queso poured on it, or as like she likes it, with shrimp. This guy really knows how to cook shrimp. He has a secret spice recipe he puts on it and a few other things, and it is magnificent. The salsa that comes with the complimentary chips and salsa is so tasty, the perfect way to get started. My personal favorite dish here is the Camarones Chipotle, which is Chipotle sauce over shrimp. Omg the sauce is so good... I like hot spicy food, so I always ask for habanero salsa, which is wonderful and really turns up the heat. Those shrimp are cooked so perfectly, just melting in your mouth and so flavorful. I love many other dishes here too; burritos, Henry's Tacos (that is the actual name), the fajitas, and so much more. One way you can tell this is a great restaurant with talented cooks who care, is that when you order the a la carte items, they are just as good as when you order them with the dish. The beans, the rice, the guacamole, they are all cooked right and flavorful. My wife says that there is no other place she has ever been that has better margaritas than Las Brasas. Big, cold, and refreshing, they get you where you need to go guaranteed! Henry loves his tequila, and he loves bringing it to his customers. It is his way of saying thanks and that you are his friend. It is heartfelt. If you are in Anamosa or you simply want a good night dining out and want quality, tasty Mexican cuisine, stop into Las Brasas and check out their daily specials. Ask to meet Henry, and have fun. And if it's your birthday...

Celebrated my husband's birthday here. Our son and daughter were here from LA and they were blown away by the food, service and overall experience. We will be back as often as we can and the freshness of the guacamole is second to none. Thank you for making our little celebration so special!

I consider myself a foodie. I’ve been to a lot of Mexican restaurants. How many have I been to where the owner himself came to the table and greeted and joined us in a shot of tequila. One. How many have I been in that had live music on a Wednesday night. One. The margaritas, the chorizo. The shrimp, the beef, the hospitality. 11/10 best restaurant experience we’ve had in a while.
