    Carne Asada with added pineapples
    Brandi H.

    OMG SOO GOOD! Stopped here while traveling and was so surprised at the quality of the food. I am a salsa snob and this was homemade and amazing. The chips were light and freshly cooked! I ordered carne tacos. The corn tortillas were so authentic like someone's grandma made them. The waitress was so sweet and great at her job. Will definitely stop here again anytime I am near.

    My husband and I went to eat at this restaurant about 3p, a couple of days ago. My previous post said that I wouldn't ever come back here; but when there were very few places open that were somewhat healthy, you have to make a choice. I still agree that the salsa had too much tomato paste in it; but being from Texas, I have much different taste buds than those around me. We were seated quickly because there were only a few other people in the restaurant. Our drinks were brought quickly, and though we said no ice, we did get ice. Now the food came out piping hot. We were thrilled to see that. My husband got the Ribeye Fajitas, and his food has a fantastic flavor. I was actually pleasantly surprised. I got a Ribeye Steak and asked for medium rare. Unfortunately, it was cooked medium well. I ate my steak because I was hungry; but being very chewy and having very little flavor, made me realize I won't get it again. They didn't have oil and vinegar dressing for my salad; but I ate it regardless and the Mexican rice tasted great as well. So I would come back for the ribeye steak. Do wish there were more restaurants around that were healthier to eat at. But I did go from a 2 star 6 years ago to a 3 star. Just makes me think that it's good to give restaurants another try, rather than just writing them off.

    Chunky guacamole
    Andrea E.

    We were on a road trip and got off at this Exit really hoping to find some food. El Bracero seemed to be the best option other than some fast food places. Walked in on a Saturday evening to no wait, friendly service, and good food! The chunky guacamole was fresh and delicious. Portions were huge!

    There are very few places to dine in the center City area, but of those few this is one of the better ones. First, get the guac. It is a chunky, fresh style guac (that the menu says is made table side, but it is not). It has onion, cilantro and seasonings that make it just right! Service is on par! Never was a glass empty. As for the other food, it was the standard Americanized-Mexican that you can get at any town USA. Overall, good place to stop.

    So fresh and delicious and enough food to feed several people even though that is one meal.

    Very fresh and delicious. Portions were huge. This was one meal but obviously could feed minimum of 2. Prices were decent. The fresh guacamole was very good

    Good service, and good food. I had the stuffed burrito and a beer. Very family-friendly, if you arrive around 6:30 or 7.

Our server was fantastic, personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive. He offered excellent recommendations for both drinks and appetizers, and every suggestion was spot-on. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her Vanilla Vodka Espresso Martini, while I savored a classic Old Fashioned. We also tried the special potato appetizer he suggested, which was outstanding. For our entrees, my wife ordered the Filet and I had the Ribeye, both were cooked perfectly and delicious. We were so satisfied by the end of the meal that we didn't have room for dessert, which simply gives us a great reason to return soon. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. The food was excellent, the portions were generous, and the pricing felt very reasonable. Every staff member we encountered, from the host to our server and the manager who checked on us multiple times, was attentive and kind. We truly enjoyed our evening and look forward to coming back.
