Solid Mexican food with friendly, helpful service. It's a small mom/pop place with authentic Mexican food. If that sounds good, then come try the molcajete. It's worth a visit. read more

El Bracero - Molcajete - small - Mexican Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

I ordered what was advertised as a ribeye steak topped with shrimp, jalapeños, and onions. Unfortunately, it was disappointing. The steak was paper-thin, tough, and far from what I expected. The shrimp were ok, but the plate was mostly piled with onion and peppers. I also ordered water, which had a stale, unpleasant taste and was undrinkable. The restaurant itself is a small hole-in-the-wall. On a Saturday at 7 PM, there were only two tables occupied--including mine--which now makes sense. Based on this experience, I won't be returning. read more

Amazing dinner! Julia our server was awesome! Had the cabra/goat tacos that were so tender and flavorful! Great margaritas too! The restaurant is spotless and so friendly! read more

It is a nice little hometown feel place. Authentic Mexican food, serves lots of dishes that main stream restaurants do not serve including goat. My favorite is a Chile relleno stuffed with cheese and cheese enchiladas, with a beef taco. I ordered a combo plate and ordered everything with cheese, except the crispy beef taco. When the plate came I began to eat and it was very tasty. However, the enchilada and the Chile Relleno were both full of chicken. I hesitated to send it back, but I traveled 60 miles to come eat at this restaurant and so I wanted to get the food that I actually had intended. The waitress certainly implied that I had ordered chicken, but I did not. I ordered cheese. I never ever order chicken at a Mexican restaurant. Anyway, it took a while for my next plate to come out, but when it did, it tasted a little bit weird and it made me honestly hesitant to eat it. I was afraid they might have done something to my food because I had returned the incorrect dish. It tasted very strange. So, I ate my taco and the chips and salsa. I ended up paying more than $20 for the meal that I did not even get to eat. Overall, I would say this is a good restaurant and my original dish did taste good however it was not what I ordered. Who knows who is in the kitchen and what they might have done to my food when I sent it back for the correct thing that I had ordered. I am not accusing them of doing anything to my food, but I was suspicious because of the strange taste. I have nothing bad to say about this restaurant, but I was afraid to eat my second plate because of potential tampering with my food. read more

Passing through on our way back to Dallas and found great reviews on this little place in Amarillo. It's a hole in the wall, so do not let that discourage you. We ordered the fajitas for 2 & it came with rice, refried beans, pico de gallo, guacamole on a bed of lettuce. The food came out fresh out hot. The beef was so delicious and the chicken, just a little dry, but very flavorful. Lastly, the service was great & personable too. Not too pricey at all! I highly recommend this place in Amarillo. read more

Some of the best red posole this side of Albuquerque! The service was friendly and attentive. Huge portions.

Nice salsa! Very fresh taste. Service was excellent! Enjoyed our meal. Cost was reasonable for lunch.

Hole in the wall, but good service and food. Excellent ribeye tacos (3 large with charro beans and rice). Really good chicken enchiladas - grilled onions added on top was a nice touch. Warm salsa was tasty, but chips weren't. No liquor license, but 2 free beers per person, which was a pleasant surprise! 1 of 2 locations (brothers). But don't confuse this place with Los Braceros Bar and Grill (which is where we thought we were going. read more

Stopped in here on our way back from Albuquerque to Dallas. The place is kind of small and looks a little old inside. Don't let that fool you, the food is awesome. I had the deep fried burrito and it was perfectly cooked. They bring put salsa in little squirt bottles and that has just the right amount of kick. The prices are very reasonable and the service was top notch. One suggestion is to work on the men's bathroom, I almost got locked in there. read more

This review is about the 6th street location only. Food was very good with friendly service. Nice surroundings. I would definitely recommend. read more

This is a diamond in the rough. Amazing food! Randomly even the Hickory burger was perfect. Simple nachos were very nice. Each homemade chip had cheese and was organized, not messy nachos so easy to eat. The fajita bowl for two was Huge with two plates also full of veggies, refried beans and rice for each. I am visiting from Lubbock. I wish we had an authentic Mexican restaurant. Green sauce was Not mild so watch out. Spicy spice! Amarillo has the best 'hole in the wall' restaurants of anywhere, my opinion. read more

Sometimes simple authenticity wins. What a pleasant surprise from this bright red restaurant with a bright lime-green interior housed in an unassuming little building. We had a delicious meal here: the spicy, fresh salsa was obviously housemade, the marinated brisket in the enchilada was rich in flavor and fork-tender, the taco was crispy-delicious, the chicken-stuffed Chili Relleno was amazing, and the guacamole on the Chalupa was perfect. Everything was delightfully fresh and very tasty. So glad we ended up here on our way through Amarillo. read more

We were going to get burgers across the street, but the wait was too long for the teens in our hungry party of 9 to wait. I had seen this place on yelp and asked the boys if they wanted to switch to Mexican and they all agreed. I'm glad we did because this place was awesome! Everyone loved the food. The carnitas and carne asada were particular favorites and I loved my beef burrito with green chile swapped out for queso. Lunch menu is crazy inexpensive for the quality and quantity of food! Great stop between Dallas and Santa Fe! Highly recommend! read more

Eat there every taco Tuesday super good food and have tried many things on the menu but it's gonna take a while to get all the way through it!! Everything I've tried is absolutely delicious!! Service is great and the kitchen gets food out rapidly! It has a authentic mexican feel or Ambiance!! I would suggest it to everyone!! read more

Great food great service great price. Kind of a little whole in the wall place that the whole family enjoyed.

Stopped on my way through town. I don't like chain restaurants so always look for a mom and pop style. This did not let me down!! Go try all the food. It was delicious and fast. I will stop again on my wY through read more

It's true- a small, hole in the wall, not well marked with great food & service. Bi-lingual staff in a no frills eatery. Prices are so reasonable you might question what's the deal. Several offerings featuring their custom seasoning and generous portions. Tried the Pollo banners mexicano- thin seasoned boneless chicken breasts coupled with amazing onions, mushrooms & cheese. Guacamole superb! Homemade salsa with a great bite. read more

The food was authentic and amazing. Service was impeccable. This place was comfortable for someone dining alone, such as I was, or for a large multigenerational family. read more

Nice ambiance. Overall it was a great quality authentic Mexican food. The salsa is some of the best ive ever tasted. Be sure to take a container of it home. I'm more accustomed to a machca beef...tender and well-seasoned. Avoid the brisket that was dried out and hard to chew. I'd eat there again...and again...and again! The staff was great. read more

Passing through Amarillo, we looked for a Mexican restaurant to try and were totally blown away by our dinners! It was the best Mexican we have ever eaten. I opted for simple food: a spinach quesadilla and a guacamole salad. Both were superb. My husband tried the enchiladas and quite liked them. We wish we could go back again. read more

On our way through Amarillo we were lucky enough to find this little gem of a Mexican restaurant a double lucky to get the last legal looking parking space. As other reviewers have mentioned the street view of the place leaves something to be desired and inside decor is uninspiring but those are not the things to be worrying about anyway. This service was fast and friendly and the food was fantastic. The chips were thin and crisp, the salsa had a nice spice without being overpowering or oniony (I do not like raw onion) I ordered the Carne Guisada: beef tips and potatoes cooked in its own juices with veggies and their own special blend of spices. Beautifully tender roast with chunky potatoes, I have no idea what the veggie might have been it was just a green pile of mush that lent all its being to the scrumptious sauce. I even asked for a spoon so all the goodness had to pass over my tongue and none was left behind. It came with the traditional Mexican rice and refried beans, both of which had fantastic flavor. My husband ordered the Codorniz: quail marinated to perfection and served with Mexican rice guacamole and beans. Wow, hubby loved it and was willing to share a leg; "marinated to perfection" is an apt description for this dish. Not only did they marinate this delectable bird they ratcheted up the spice by blackening the skin and cooking it under a press. It's located only like a quarter mile off I 40 and totally worth it. Don't settle for a place you can see from the highway you'll be missing out by passing this place up read more

Very glad yelp guided us to this restaurant!!!! Started off with a pleasant greeting from the hostess. She took us to our table and came back with delicious salsa and warm chips.

Five and beans were good too. I was able to get a bite of shredded beef burrito and quesadilla. They were very good as well. I would eat here again if ever in the area at mean time read more

Once again, Yelp hits it out of the park! If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this is your place! Don't let the appearance or location fool you. This place is truly a diamond in the rough!

Home made wonderful goodness. Always stop here when we are at events at Tri County Fairgrounds. Can't go wrong.

The best premium margarita I have ever had. This hopping place in the historic district area of amorillo is a great place to mingle with locals and have an oversized great meal. This building was a former garage. read more

Salsa was spicy, good flavor, medium chunk. Chips were yummy and warm. Queso was good, but very "velveeta-like", in my opinion. Still good. Ordered fajitas for two with steak and chicken. Meat was thick cut (not my preference), but good flavor. Tortillas were awesome. The rest of the condiments were average. I left satisfied, but not blown away. read more

Nice stop and don't be fooled by the building. Most restaurants like this are usually a great find. For those traveling through the Amarillo area this place is easy to get too from I40 just exit Grand and go south about 1/4 mile and its on the right. The chips were crisp and good, had two salsa one red a bit spicy on the afterwards and the green chili salsa. Both were fresh and great. My wife had the fajitas special is was plenty for her. Meat was tender and flavored well. I had the cheese enchiladas with chili con sauce and absolutely loved that chili con sauce. Could've had more of that sauce for my chips and rice lol. Rice was tender and great as well. You can't beat the price....both ate for $15.96. Impressive especially on a budget or big family. Would recommend stopping by. read more

If I could put 0 starts I would. Customer service is terrible. For starters we ordered queso fundido and it was not your authentic queso fundido, it was more of onion with sprinkled cheese on top. The waitress was upset because we advised her we did not like the queso fundido. She was very confrontational and literally kicked us out because we complained about the plate. The food is overpriced as well. Save your money and try other places.. read more
