My family and…read moreI used to come here all the time, especially for breakfast, and it became one of our favorite go-to spots. Their bandeja paisa for lunch is another must, as it is delicious and always satisfying. The food here has that comforting, and the service has consistently been great. Everyone is friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit even better. Overall, Brisas is a gem. I'm looking forward to coming back the next chance I get!

It's the kind of spot that immediately feels impressive when you walk in. As for the food, it was fine for the price. Not bad at all, but nothing particularly memorable either. The small downside for me was the service. It wasn't as quick or attentive as I expected, and it took longer than I'd hoped for our order to arrive. A side order was also forgotten which wasn't a big deal, but it's just unfortunate it never arrived. With that said, I can absolutely see myself coming back for large group events or gatherings because the space is perfect for that. Just keep in mind that you may need to be patient when ordering, as things can move slowly. Great atmosphere, decent food, but service could use some improvement.

Price was affordable snd budget friendly for families. We will definitely be back!

While shopping at the nearby Animal Crackers I saw Mana across the street and decided to drop in to…read moregrab lunch to go. Mana is a nice space with a huge mural painted on one wall with several tables spread out in the restaurant with a comfortable distance between them. To the right is the counter where you order and pay. The restaurant is clean and welcoming and I would have been happy to dine in had I not been running errands. The food is mostly laid out on a steam table behind the counter. I saw different kinds of chicken, pernil, potato salad, green salad, empenadas and more. I wound up ordering yellow rice with black beans and a baked chicken leg. I also ordered a side of Maduros and a chicken empanada. Here's how I found everything (keeping in mind I took it home to reheat before I ate it): Chicken Empanada Unlike most empanadas I get nowadays, this one seemed to have been fried, with a crispy, yellow outer shell. The crunch was fantastic and I really liked the flavor. The chicken inside was super tasty and I immediately wished I had ordered another of these. Maduros I LOVE a good plantain but they are surprisingly hard to find. I would say if I go to five restaurants with them perhaps only two will have really good ones. Maduros should have a nice chewiness, maybe even a bit of caramelization on the outside with a wonderfully sweet flavor. I am happy to report that Mana has exactly this and it was great! Chicken & Rice with Beans The rice with beans were good and had some veggies mixed in. I've had better and I've had worse, so this falls straight in "B" territory. The chicken was the same - tasty, well cooked, moist but the flavor was average. Flavor-wise this is a good dish (not amazing). That said, the *serving size* was tremendous and there was enough rice for me to have over two meals and for that it deserves high marks! I really enjoyed the food from Mana. Sure it's not the best ever, but it was good and priced reasonably. I'd definitely go again.

If I can give this restaurant zero stars I would. I just was…read morethere with my mother and daughter to eat. We all had sancochos.... And while we are eating there is a big roach walking Along the border next to my mother near the table. My mother tried to swat it... and it quickly ran which made my daughter and I jump away from the table. I quickly asked for a box to pack the food and for the bill asap so we can pay. When I told the waitress that there is a roach under the table and that I don't like bugs at all.... She saw it and gave me a look and said " ya" with her hands slightly up ... which in my culture means to "stop" so I took it as her telling me to stop talking about it or to quiet down. I understand there were others eating at this establishment and I would never cause a scene so I quietly told one of the waitresses that I didn't like the way this was handled. They made me feel like I'm not within my right to be upset and express my dislike. I will never be eating here again. And the waitresses are always rude here anyway. This confirmed everything

The waitress left to walk to the kitchen without taking my wife's order, let alone an explanation or even a word. She returned with my empanadas then took my wife's order. This is not proper order-taking protocol. The empanadas were cool, not warm with an inadequate amount amount of hot sauce served in mini take-out cups. My wife ordered shrimp cocktail. Every restaurant I've been to serves them hanging on the edge of a cocktail glass filled with cocktail sauce. Not here. There was one shrimp hanging on the edge and the others were buried inside the glass of salsa. Yes, salsa. Not cocktail sauce. Terrible. We'll never go back and tell all our friends and relatives to avoid the place.

I would recommend the batidos for sure Mora, papaya and strawberry and banana, would be great on a summer day, however, if you're on a diet I may ask if they can take it easy on the condensed milk addition. If you are a clean freak I would maybe pass on this location. Sauce containers are dirty and literally looked like they were reused, sticky tables, sticky bathroom floors and they gave us a bag to take food that clearly looked like it was used before :/. Overall I appreciate that the business is open, providing jobs for the community and I truly wish Business best of luck.
