Takes them 30 minutes to make a burrtito when there isn’t even alot of people. Chiles toriados were cold. Tortia cold

Small portions and flavorless food. We were the only one in the whole restaurant and never got checked on.

They make the best Jalisco

Ordered a mixed drink and it tasted absolutely terrible. I told the waiter that it was not good, and the waiter pretty much shrugged his shoulders and walked away. The salsa they sit out on the table for chips also tasted disgusting. Not very good customer service here. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

The food is always good, portions could be a little bigger, especially thr chimichanga dinner, it's one small chimi/beans/rice for 15$. Tastes good but doesn't fill up a 6 yr old boy. Lol. Food gets a 4$ and DONT get the bloody Mary, it's vodka and maybe v8? Ill never drink there again. Food is pretty good though

We absolutely love El Bracero – hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants around! The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and full of bold, authentic flavors that transport you straight to Mexico with every bite.

We started with the warm chips and salsa (perfectly seasoned and addictive), then I went for the steak fajitas – the meat was juicy, tender, and perfectly grilled with tons of sizzling peppers and onions. My partner had the enchiladas with mole, and they were rich, flavorful, and huge portions that left us happily stuffed. Everything tasted homemade and well-seasoned – way better than a lot of chain spots.

The portions are generous, prices are reasonable for the quality, and the service is quick and friendly. The atmosphere is welcoming and family-friendly too. We've been back multiple times and it's always a hit – highly recommend for anyone craving real-deal Mexican cuisine in the area. You won't be disappointed! 🌮🔥

Margaritas were great, but the food and atmosphere were lacking. Steak was chewy, chicken was dry, and the beans had an odd taste. Cheese in the quesadilla tasted fake and rubbery like American cheese. Nice people, but was a cold run down environment 😔
