Was craving a shrimp quesadilla with jalapeños this afternoon and ventured here for lunch. I'm not too familiar with this part of town but I would definitely come back here lol. The bartender was welcoming and friendly. Informed me of the daily lunch specials they offer which is good to know if I ever decide to come back over. Taco Tuesdays street tacos are $1 how awesome is that?! If that's your jam... Anyhoo I had already ordered my food so...shrimp quesadilla was served with a side salad, rice and beans. I added a small side of plantains which were delicious btw! And side of jalapeños and some chips and queso. The bartender also stated margaritas are $5 everyday and you can upgrade your choice of spirit for an additional cost. The restaurant was clean, service was welcoming and friendly...my food was good. What more could you ask for? Happy Yelping!! read more

I'm back! Unfortunately since I first reviewed this spot, the quality has gone down. The word is out so its overly crowded on Tuesdays now. I don't even try to dine in anymore. I order for pick up and they have messed my order up the last three times at least. Most recently, last night, I checked my bag before leaving because they have been known to give me the wrong item(s) or forget something. This time they didn't pack my chips. I reminded them before leaving and they packed me some chips. I had to place in my notes to "please make sure it's refried beans this time" because previously I would order refried beans and it would be a different type of beans. What was new?: I specifically ordered chorizo dip. I didn't even think they messed it up because I saw dip but not chips. I returned home to find I was given queso. I'm thoroughly disappointed because my taste buds were set for chorizo- you know the feeling. I didn't want to drive all the way back. I checked my receipt to confirm it was chorizo. I looked for a customer service email to contact them - there isn't one. Their website doesn't even work. The most I saw was a phone number and their IG account. I attempted to contact them via IG - It does not seem that it is actively monitored. The food wasn't even as good as I remembered. I will have to hope for a different tex-mex spot close to home read more

Came here when we were in the mood for tacos. I made the mistake of ordering a large mango margarita and it was huge! It was so good tho lol so no regrets! The pollo tacos were flavored just right. I added tapatio so i could get the right amount of spice on top. The chicken fajitas were also grilled just right. The chicken and the peppers! read more

I really enjoyed this spot! It's located in a a shopping center across the street from Topolino Restaurant. Parking was located directly in front, free, and accessible. Staff were very friendly and our waitress did a great job of checking in on us, and answering questions we had about the menu. Happy hour is every day (3-7), even on the weekends. Only includes margaritas for $5.They also have lunch specials until 2pm. I loved the decor and vibes as well...tropical, upbeat, modern,and appeared clean! Of course I ordered the chicken fajitas and they came out hot and presented very well (I like my vegetables whole and not incinerated by the grill). I could tell that everything was cooked fresh but the fajitas did not have a whole lot of flavor. A side of sour cream helped to cover the flavor that was missing but flavor is important so I took off one star. It also came with rice, beans, and pico. You get a choice of yellow rice, cilantro rice, or white rice. Great portion size as well, I had left overs. I liked this spot a lot and would definitely come back and try something different! read more

I went here for a group happy hour and was pleasantly surprised. During happy hour select drinks are $5, a steal for the DMV area. I ordered the carne asada street tacos and a mojito. The tacos were fresh, I wish the mojito had more club soda it was a little too sweet. I'd definitely come back as the snapper someone looked delish. The service was a little slower at our table than the bar, however we had a group of 10 and the restaurant is fairly new. read more

Ate here for dinner with work colleagues. We intended to eat at the excellent Italian restaurant across the street, but on a beautiful Sunday evening 5 pm they were full. We saw Brazas and decided to try it. Honduran family place with Mexican and Peruvian food! I had delicious ceviche, others had tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, and one had steak fajitas. All delicious. Terrific service by lovely friendly server. Atmosphere is cheerful, wonderful Latino music a bit too loud but fun. 5's for food, service, 4 for location and atmosphere, 5 for value. read more

Ok, this is a hidden gem!! Everyone needs to STOP wasting their precious money and come here!! If you are in the mood for Mexican, make your way to the TexMex Grill Brazas! Food is reasonably priced, and EVERYTHING was fresh. I came here to celebrate a nephews' birthday, and what a delight!! The service was top tear, and the food was excellent!! I will definitely be back!! read more

We got our meals to go due to other commitments but I so wish we could've eaten inside! It's very well decorated and has a lively atmosphere with plenty of seating. The staff we spoke to were kind and helpful. We had a small issue with one of our meals and they were quick and kind when helping resolve it (needed to switch out a chicken quesadilla for just a cheese). The food was all SO good. I also love that they offer black beans as an option. I am always appreciative, as a vegetarian! We will be back if we are ever in the area! read more

Too cold to cook. JK, we're just tired of suffering alone through The Great Glaze a.k.a. Winter Storm Fern 2026. Super glad we came ... $5 Margaritas ... my frugal self was instantly in love. Looking @ the menu made me drool ... they have vegan options y'all! We were offered free chips and salsa before we were even seated. Fairly new establishment so still very neat, clean and organized. Hoping they keep up with the seasonal decor. Today they're all set for Valentine's Day. We ain't talking fine dining butttt friendly, efficient customer service will trump (NO pun intended!) expensive, Michelin star presentation any day. Shout out to our bartender (Claudio a.k.a. "C") and our server (Oscar). Also happy to report, our party of 4 had nothing but praise for every chicken entree served today (fajitas, burrito bowl and quesadillas). Delicioso all across the board. Check out my pics. Get hungry. Come visit. Tell them you saw it on Yelp. Share YOUR opinion. read more

I definitely need to go back, i ordered the Taquitos Mexicano. They were okay, had a corn tortilla; I personally prefer flour. i know I would like something else instead better because the rice and beans were fire! And I'm usually not a beans person but they were really good. I also need to go back to try a drink. I'll be back with part 2 of review read more

Stumbled across this place and I'm glad I did! I ordered from the walk up area and the staff was kind and moved fast. Ordered the nachos and chicken street tacos. Both delicious and the nacho supreme was a good size. Such a beautiful place and good addition to this area. The decor is pretty and yet not overwhelming. read more

The manager is extremely rude and unprofessional. I've witnessed this behavior on various occasions, not only toward customers but also toward her own employees. She frequently talks about people in front of them, including speaking about them in Spanish while they are present, apparently assuming they cannot understand her when they actually can. This comes across as extremely disrespectful and unprofessional. She has a constant attitude and addresses people in an unnecessarily abrasive and hostile manner, as if she feels superior simply because she is a manager. In my opinion, she does not demonstrate the professionalism or leadership expected of someone in a management position. I have also felt that some of her interactions come across as racially insensitive. Overall, her management style creates a very toxic and uncomfortable atmosphere for me and my friends. read more

Takeout order had items wrong and missing. When I called to report, the person was somewhat dismissive. Their food is good, but they have to do better re listening. read more

Food for the gueros Menu says 3 tacos, choice of meat, with rice and beans 2.99. That's not what the bill says and waiter says oh we're trying to fix that. And they tack on gratuity. 40 bucks for 2 people and 1 beer each plus including added tip Love the cheap dyed colored tortilla chips and flavorless food Just visiting didn't know where to go. The taco truck across the street was packed! read more

Ryan is always so amazing. Great customer service and always knows what I want this place is !

The lady manager was taking our orders and, during the interaction, was speaking negatively about my friend directly to me. I found this extremely rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional, especially as a new customer. I was treating my friend to dinner and attempted to order her a margarita, but the manager told me it was one margarita per person. There were two of us, so I don't understand why I was not allowed to order a margarita for my friend. If there is a policy regarding this, it should have been explained to me respectfully and professionally. Instead, the way she handled the situation felt unnecessarily petty and personal, particularly because of her apparent dislike toward my friend. She made me extremely uncomfortable and turned what should have been an enjoyable night into a very distasteful experience. Disrespecting my friend while speaking to me about her is something I do not take lightly, and after this experience, I honestly do not feel comfortable returning. read more

I've been a few times already and every time, the food and drinks always hit! the food is so flavorful. the Bulldog Margarita will always be my favorite! the servers are very attentive and check up on you frequently which i love. The decor is very nice and every time ive been it's always a different theme to match the upcoming holidays, Christmas, valentine's day, st patrick's day, etc. Definitely will be back for more!! read more

Food looked good but was lacking some flavor and quality. I ordered the $50 platter for two and it came with chicken, steak, shrimp, chorizo and pork carnitas. The chicken and steak did not look like the photo on the menu. It was soooo thin that it was overcooked. Like 1/8-1/4 of an inch thickness. I'm not sure why my waiter asked how I would like it cooked! I've had Jerky that was thicker than the steak and chicken. It seems like they may pre cook their meats and then flash grill again! The side that comes with it is just okay! The rice was slightly undercooked. The Salsa tasted like marinara sauce with some onions and cilantro! The ambiance was really nicely decorated for Mother's Day. This place can be good if they improve on the items I suggested! read more

The first time I came here was April 3 at night. Decided to try this spot because it's right in the neighborhood. We enjoyed! The food was good, the drinks were good, the service was excellent. We raved about this place and brought family here yesterday April 14 around 5:30pm. It was not the same. The service was inconsistent, friendly but inconsistent. So many of our orders were wrong or people brought other people's food to our table. Nachos Supreme with chicken, queso, no tomatoes, no guac- they brought over fajita nachos with steak and chicken. Ty at wasn't ours and when asked if they were the nachos supreme, the waitress said yes even though we could clearly see these were fajita nachos. We talked to someone else about it who confirmed they were the fajita nachos and not what we ordered. It must have been someone else's order because the took it from us and handed it to some man sitting at the bar. When they brought out the "nachos supreme", it was just chicken and shredded cheese on top of chips. Mind you, the nachos supreme comes with jalapeños, beans, sour cream, and cheese (cheese dip is what we ordered) but all we received was chips, chicken, and shredded cheese. We sent it back again and of course they just added sour cream and jalapeño on top. That was a disappointment and as if they didn't even know what comes on their own entrees. Chicken wings- no seasoning at all. Just tossed in grease. Tastes like absolutely nothing. Broccoli side - had other vegetables in it that's not mentioned on the menu. And they also did not season the broccoli with anything. Chorizo dip- had a whole layer of oil just sitting right on top. Was not good. I was hoping to get some good chorizo dip close to home, but this was not it. Tacos- I ordered 2 beef and 1 steak street tacos and asked for cheese on top. When the arrived, it was just cheese... no onions or cilantro. I never requested them to remove that so I had to ask for it on the side. The steak tacos were good and they do well with quesadillas but they are not consistent. Even the salsa that came with the chips was not consistent. The first time I came here, the salsa was so good and the right amount of spice. This time, no spice and not much flavor. I had high hopes for this place from my first time coming but I need you guys to be consistent. read more

Outstanding Experience From Start to Finish I had such a great time at this restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed. Everyone was incredibly friendly, patient, and helpful and it was exactly the kind of service that makes you want to come back. It was 7 of us including 3 kids so our party was kind of big. The food was the real star. The street tacos were some of the best I've had in a long time. They were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. You can tell they put real care into every detail. And the desserts? Absolutely delicious. The perfect sweet finish to an already amazing meal. The tres leches cake and churros were the perfect finish to a great meal. Overall, this place delivers on every level: great service, great food, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. read more

This review reflects issues with service, pricing, and overall experience. They offer $5 margaritas, which are decent, but my friend was charged $16.95 for a strawberry margarita plus an additional liquor upcharge. When the bill arrived, there were even more unexpected charges added. Our server initially told us we'd only be charged for the tequila upgrade, but the manager later contradicted that. The pricing felt very misleading. We were also seated under a leaking pipe, which we only noticed after water started dripping onto our table--and even onto me--while we had food in front of us. It was surprising that no one seemed aware of or addressed the issue. Another odd moment: our waiter asked us to pay the bill right after taking our order because he said he was leaving, yet he remained there for the next hour and a half while we dined. It felt a bit uncomfortable, as if we were being judged as potential dine-and-dash customers. As for the food, it was just okay. Unfortunately, our order was incorrect--we paid for upgrades but were served basic tacos instead. I've heard good things about this place, so I might give it another try in hopes of a better experience under different circumstances. read more

The drinks are good. While the servers were really nice, service was extremely slow. Beans and rice came out ice cold (TWICE), as if they sat outside. Also, I assume they ran out of the black beans because they weren't seasoned either and tasted like they were dumped from a can. The rice is not flavorful at all. Fajitas were good and hot but we couldn't mix the beans and rice for obvious reasons. I hope these are just growing pains. Update: we were going to give them another chance but they tried to say I had to pay for food I didn't eat and wanted to charge for a spoon full of cheese, that I never ate, since my food was cold. That did it for us...we won't be back. read more

Great place with good food vibe and servers kinda surprised there's not a lot more ppl here but oh well
