The food is very good and the portions are BIG for each taco, so you definitely get the bang for ur buck! The flavors are very authentic and the tacos were delicious! I tried every single type of taco with cilantro and onion. My only complaint is that the meat to cilantro and onion ratio is a bit too skewed towards the meat so the flavor balance isn't exactly perfect, but I can't complain since they're so generous with the meat. We also got some horchata which was very great and authentic tasting. They got the balance between the flavors just right and the nice touch of cinnamon flavoring. The service is great and kind, and my girlfriend spoke to them in Spanish. You know the tacos are good when it's owned by people speaking Spanish!!!! I like the ambiance of the place and it gives a very nice hole in the wall family owned restaurant feel. read more

We ordered dinner last night from Las Brazas via DoorDash. When the food arrived, we were missing the guacamole and chips that we had ordered, nor were there any chips to go with the pico de gallo. Worse, the container of beans was open, and had coated everything in that bag with a viscous layer of unappetizing cold refried beans. See photo. Complained via DoorDash and received all of a $2 refund. Completely unacceptable. read more

This cozy place is in the former Mi Gabinita space, where it was gutted and opened up. The interior has six 4-tops and a counter that seats five. The owners did a great job with the interior. There are caddys with green (mild) and red (hot) sauces. I got the asada tacos and asada burrito. The grilled corn tortillas are a bit small, and are piled with ingredients, making a potentially sloppy meal. The asada had a slight seasoning, and was tender. The burrito was stuffed with meat, refried beans, and Mexican rice. Flavor-wise, I believe the menu was tailored for local gringo tastes, so be advised the sauces are not there for looks. Everything was good, but needed more heat. The service was good and friendly, with mom going about the dining room bussing and cleaning tables, and talking to the customers. As this place is small, it fills up quickly and can have the perception of being hectic. Plusses for being open late. read more

Impressed with the food and authentic flavors. Got delivery, but it did not disappoint. Really good refried beans. I tried the Asada taco, carnitas, and Barbacoa. All were delicious. Go with the authentic style, not the American option. Kids chicken quesadilla was a highlight of the meal. Chicken was super flavorful. Overall, it was really really good compared to some of our other local Mexican restaurants. I will order again! read more

This was a great little hole in the wall. We had the tacos combination plates. The pork (carnitas), steak (asada) and tongue (lengua) and the lengua Huarache The meats were cooked to perfection. Tender and seasoned well. The corn tortillas were freshly made and didn't fall apart while eating them. The rice and beans were flavorful - nothing unique just rice and beans. Not too wet, not too dry. Not under seasoned or too spicy - just right. They offered soda in bottles and cans with no fountain drinks. In general the restaurant is small as there are six tables for four and a bar like table for four more. It's a place when packed is crammed but the food is good and fairly priced for the generous portions. The location is in an interestingly odd location, as it is located next to a muffler shop........ That aside, we were happy with our adventure to try this little place away from the Purdue Campus. read more

I wanted to check out this place because of the good reviews. Looks like it's the spot to check out on Tuesdays for $1 al pastor tacos! I was impressed with how clean and modern the restaurant was. Space is a bit tight, but I really like that they have an open kitchen and you're able to see them cook your food. You place an order at the front, then they'll bring your food out to you. I went with 2 al pastor tacos since they are known for them, and 1 steak taco. My boyfriend ordered the steak burrito, which came with chips. Usually when we dine in at a mexican restaurant chips and salsa are provided, but not here. We paid extra to have something to munch on before our food came out. I was disappointed that our chips were stale and broken into smaller pieces. The salsa had a good kick to it that I enjoyed! Luckily, my boyfriend's burrito came with chips that were better! The menu indicated that the al pastor tacos came with a slice of grilled pineapple, so I was disappointed to see that my tacos came with literally the smallest slivers of pineapple LOL it was honestly very sad. The tacos and burrito were just okay in my opinion. I've had better in town! The tortillas were a little dry. Verdict: Eh, I'll come back if I'm ever in the area, but there are so many other mexican restaurants I want to try in town first! read more

The place is right in the corner of the intersection and it was pretty visible. Parking was easy and had quite an amount of availability. The place was used to be a restaurant called mi cabanita which served great tacos for Lafayette standard. I ordered al pastor, lengua, tripa and steak tacos. I really like them and I would say they are one of the best I have ever tasted in Lafayete, Indiana. I would come back if I crave a taco and defintely on a tuesday since they have a $1 al pastor tac read more

Love the Pastor tacos here. Done on a spit (like gyros), friendly family run place, plus the Pastor Tacos are only $1 on tuesdays. You have to pay for chips and salsa (which makes sense when tacos are so cheap). Guacamole is awesome and they have marinated onions and peppers on the tables. Also the house made red and green sauces are very good. read more

Such great food. Authentic great portions and affordable. The place is small and you don't really get a service other than order in the cashier but if you're looking for legit Mexican food this is it. We had toreras tostadas y huaraches. Something you normally don't see in American-Mexican menus. This is the real deal! They have orchata and Jamaica water. Top notch Mexican food. read more

This is my second time eating here and I am pretty positive that every single time I have to go up to Lafayette, IN for an appointment I will make sure to stop here for food. The first time I came here about a week and a half ago. I was getting gas and the man at the register was eating something that smelled so good! I asked him where his food came from and he points across the street at this restaurant. I absolutely had to go. Both times now I have ordered a barbacoa burrito. The first time I ate the entire burrito and was absolutely stuffed! This time I only ate half of it and I feel perfect. My burrito had shredded beef, pico, letter, cheese, beans and rice with the mild sauce. The temperature was perfect everything was Fresh and my shredded beef was tender. I really tried to branch out and try something different on the menu that I hadn't had before but I lost that game Barito all the way! From now on I'll just start checking in that way you can see how much I come back! read more

This place rules!!!! What else can you say? The tacos are awesome, horchata is fresh and the people working there are awesome!

Las Brazas took over the Mi Cabanita restaurant location. The interior was gutted entirely and redone as a modern restaurant. It probably has one of the nicest interiors of any restaurant in Greater Lafayette. 100% brand new everything. The people who run the restaurant did it all themselves for the most part and it is impressive. I overheard another patron ask how many other Las Brazas there were - because of the professional quality of the decor, menus and everything he thought it was a chain restaurant. The cashier let him know this is the first and only. Their menu is professionally done, they have a scrolling video board or a nice takeout menu to order from. They're using Square or something similar for payment processing...the highest tech real Mexican restaurant in town. I had a huarache with al pastor and barbacoa and also a tripe taco. The standard tacos were only $1.50, but were on the small side. (tripe will cost ya an extra $.50) Actually that's generous...the tortillas were *tiny*. Made them hard to eat - very messy. Tripe taco tasted good. Served crispy as I had requested. The green sauce that was brought with the meal was dynamite. I would buy it for carryout. Huarache is basically a large, flat, crunchy tortilla with beans, rice, meats, lettuce, cheese, tomato, sour cream on it. served with a grilled jalapeno and grilled cactus. It was good. Beans could have used some more pizzazz. Again, a little messy. The service was excellent - very friendly, fully bilingual cashier/server. Possibly the cleanest restaurant in town. They had Spanish-language music playing. Dining room is very small...there were six tables, maybe five people could sit at each. If they had a few groups of two in there, there would be a severe seating crunch. Parking is also tight, but there's a street right nearby. The restaurant is next to an auto repair shop. Interesting setting, but on the whole a good place for lunch. read more

Delicious authentic birria!! Staff was so helpful by answering so many questions and offering suggestions.

This is the BEST taco restaurant in Lafayette, IN! My friend took me to this place that he discovered while visiting other nearby businesses. Otherwise, it's pretty hard to know about this place coming from West Lafayette. I'm from Chicago and I've been to a handful of taco spots in the city, and I can say that these tacos are BETTER than most that I've tasted in Chicago! I've been to a few taco/Mexican restaurants in the Lafayette area and nothing comes even close to Las Brazas Taqueria in how good it is. Everything that goes into the taco taste exceptionally fresh. The meats are very flavorful and taste as authentic as it gets. To add to that, you have a variety of sauces and hot toppings to give your food a little more kick. The servers are very courteous and helpful. Overall, the energy in the place is great too. They really like their customers too! An easy 5/5 for this one! read more

Chorizo is not good anymore taste to dry taste too cheap chorizo hate this used to love it

Wow so happy we found this place! It's right by our house and so incredible. The Al pastor tacos were amazing!! Carnitas and barbacoa are great as well, but al pastor was by far the best we tasted. We also got the guacamole and chips and they were delicious. Highly recommend! So happy we found a legit taco spot in town. read more

So happy to have found this place...have been several times over the last year when moving/visiting our daughter at Purdue. Among the best meals we've had all over the WL/Lafayette area. Each time we are in the area we try some new places, but always make time for a visit to Las Brazas. We each have our favorites...I love their Tacos off the rotisserie, the ladies have likes the quesadillas and huaraches (the beans are the best). Service has always been super warm and friendly. The toughest part is getting a parking space/table and arriving before the close! read more

in a town that has a ton of options but most will leave you disappointed, Las Brazas always does it right. Fast, Freindly, Inexpensive, Authentic and Delicious. I love this place and i'm so glad they're opening a second location closer to my house!! read more

Had a very poor experience with this establishment. First off for 3 tacos, 2 waters (bottle water only) and chips and salsa was $ 25. For lunch. The problem arose when we ordered chips and salsa. Our server brought our meal but no chips. We asked her and she asked if we ordered. We replied yes and went to get them. Then again she comes back to ask if we want chips and salsa. Yes! Again. She then comes back with our extra plate. Still no chips. We ask again. Rudely she says they're not ready yet. Finally she brings them. Once we are finished eating she brings a bill for the chips and said we never ordered them. So I go to pay an additional $ 5 for chips. She starts explaining again why she didn't bring them. I said at this point they should be free. Then another cashier starts trying to explain. I tell her I don't need an explanation. She continues so I pay and go sit Down. To make it worse now her father and owner comes out to see the problem. He is no help and only wanted to defend his daughter and said he didn't care if he was given a bad review. Well here you go sir. read more

Best Al Pastor tacos in town. They are authentic, cut off the spit, just like in Mexico. They have a generous amount of meat, even on $1 Taco Tuesday. Taco Tuesday prices are for dine-in only. We also had the chori queso, which was good, but did not have near enough chips served with it and expensive. I also didn't like the fact that they only have bottled water and plastic forks. The space is nicely updated and modern. read more

One of the safest things about moving from Arizona to Lafayette was the loss of delicious Mexican food. And if you get a taco from Burger King you deserve all of the bad things that will inevitably happen to you. Months later, a friend bought everyone tacos and I couldn't believe my eyes or my taste buds. Authentic delicious Tacos Pastor, Since then this is my number one go to spot for Mexican food in Lafayette, nothing compares, Amazing Carne Asada, retried beans to die for, Rice is a little bit greasy for my taste, but I'll be damned if it isn't authentic read more

Very authentic and delicious food! I've lived in Indiana my whole life and las brazas is by far the BEST Mexican restaurant I have been to ( in all of Indiana ) !!! Very well managed and taken care of, if your in the area or just looking for a good eat it's definitely worth the drive! read more

Third time here and cannot go any longer without showering some praise on this taqueria. ‼. Have not had anything other than the tacos - but why would I? Best lengua tacos I have ever had BUT the al pastor are fantastic too. The meat is done exceptionally well and so my hats off to this family owned restaurant. read more

This place is amazing. Everybody was friendly. Food came out fast and tasted amazing. Very authentic.

My daughter raves about this place (says it's more authentic than other places in town) - loves it so much she ate here 3 days in a row! For the el pastor tacos So I visited for the first time on 07/12/18 and it was pretty good I've actually been here twice now for the taco special they run during the week. Try it out! read more

Went here because of the high ratings on yelp and I was not disappointed. FOOD: 9/10 We both ordered burritos, one asada and one carintas, and both were excellent. We asked for queso on top of the asada burrito and it was very good; however, they did not as much queso topping as I've had at other restaurants. We also got the chips and guacamole--the chips were pretty standard but the guacamole was pretty good but not the best I've had. Service: 10/10 The serve was outstanding. We ordered at the counter and by the time we sat down the food was already at our table. All the staff was great too. Ambiance: 9/10 The restaurant has 6 high top tables each with 5 seats. The indoor seating area was small, but thankfully open. The music is a bit loud but generally fine for a "hole in the wall spot" Overall: Food is great for a quick service mexican! Definitely recommend read more

My favorite tacos al pastor in Lafayette! They've been great with carry out during the covid-19 situation! Love this place!

We chose this restaurant after a long hard day. Just one of those we will give it a shot things. If you are looking for a huge menu this isn't for you, if you are looking for outstanding food, this is for you! If you are looking for a bubbly overly nice owner this isn't for you, however if you are looking for a polite good person who genuinely seems to care that you like the food and that you are enjoying yourself, this is for you! The tacos and Burritos were AWESOME!! We will be back! read more

Mediocre food served with a bad attitude. Ordered by phone, and requested a combo with 3 tacos de lengua. Apparently, that is not allowed with the combo. When I asked what is allowed in combos, the guy on the phone let out a most exasperated growl. I ordered carnitas. They were very dry. read more

In the location of the much-missed Mi Cabanita restaurant, Las Brazas Taqueria is a great find. Las Brazas is all about the taco and, in particular, tacos al pastor. And indeed, the tacos are some of the finest we've had. The tortillas were a bit small (which, for somebody with ten thumbs like yours truly, means that significant portions of the filling land on the plate instead of in your mouth), but the meat was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the lengua (tongue) which, if you can handle the idea of, y'know, eating a *tongue*, is tender and absolutely chock full of flavor. The al pastor lived up to its advertising, and was perfectly done with just the right amount of crispy and tender. Really delicious. Finally, the camaron (shrimp) was notable, if for nothing else than for the sauce, which was a fiery mayonnaise-based concoction. Prices were very affordable, in line with comparable restaurants. The selection was not as extensive as other places, but Las Brazas is smaller than most places and, as mentioned, laser focused on their tacos. Quick update: On our second visit, we ordered a huarache (which I haven't seen elsewhere) which was outstanding. They also bent over backwards to accommodate a vegan eater in our party (serving the al pastor and cheese on the side). They've definitely earned a place on our "regular stops" list. read more

Carne asada tacos were spot on! Meat taste is delicious. Tostada de Camarón (shrimp tostada) was excellent. Only thing was the green salsa needs more heat, but tasted good. read more

The tacos are so good, as a Mexican I approve. Also the prices aren't bad. I believe they have $2 tacos on Tuesdays.

The food here is delicious and the service is great. The restaurant is small giving it a homey vibe, but it's a great feel. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat in Lafayette! read more

I've been eating here since the new ownership and have started to see a decline in product and service. It's nearly $15 dollars for three tacos, rice and beans. That includes Zero chips or salsa -- even if you dine inside. Water isn't free - you must purchase it. The staff is not friendly or welcoming. Though the meats and the sauces are delicious, the portions are tiny -- about three tablespoons of rice and beans. Rice and beans are cheap. Corn chips cost nothing - why be cheap with your customers? read more
