I am more of a mole guy than a queso guy when it comes to Mexican food - Braceros is a step up from standard TexMex but a step below east coast offerings. They have drink specials, several Mexican beers on tap and you can order a 32oz beer! During the week they can be a little short staffed but the food always comes out quick but you may not get the attention you need when it comes time to get your check. We come here often and don't hesitate to recommend.

I'll give credit where it's due--the carne asada was actually seasoned pretty well. Unfortunately, the burrito just wasn't it for me. It needed a lot more flavor, and overall the food didn't live up to the hype. To be fair, I've been spoiled by authentic Mexican food, so my standards might be a little high. That said, the service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant had a cozy, homey atmosphere. I just wish the food had matched the experience.

Anyway, going to give this a 3.75/5. The cheese dip, which is the favorite of the table (and our son) was not fully heated and seemed like it was missing something. Not sure. The rest of the food was generally good and cooked to order. The staff was friendly and quick to respond to anything we needed. The inside looked clean from the walk and sitting area we observed from. The parking lot was really bumpy through the entrance we came in - not their fault of course, just take the one entrance just past it and double back. If you have a kiddo just FYI we learned the high chairs were barely big enough for our 2.5 YO (he's roughly 30 lbs) - you may want to bring a booster or try to sit in a booth with them to the wall. We'll probably give it one more go to support something other than the 15 burger joints going up Emory, lol. SYOY!

A solid Mexican spot! We dined here with some friends on a Saturday night and had a great time. My…read morefriend had the sangria special and my husband had a beer. Both were tasty! The service was friendly and prompt and the menu has so many options. They have the classics along with some unique dishes that you won't find at every standard Mexican restaurant. I went with my usual order, the pollo con queso. It was delicious and the portion was big enough to split. My husband had the birria tacos and enjoyed them as well! It was his first time trying birria and he said they were flavorful and something he'd order again. We all had a wonderful evening and will definitely return!

First, I thought I had reviewed them already-- so if I do two, that's why…read more I'm giving this 5 stars relating it to other SIMILAR places-- that is, Mexican restaurants within a grocery store--- i.e. more limited menu (although their's is pretty broad), not full bar-service (but they have beer), and not fancy. For what it is-- it is really scrumptious. I had a few tacos, a ceviche tostada and a beer. BIG lunch-- I took one taco home. All the items were really chock-ful of meat. The carnitas on that taco was way too much to be able to pick up the taco with it all inside. They had a good mix of onions and cilantro on them, although I'd have preferred to add my own (I LOVE cilantro). I wish it was nearer; I'd go back often.

The salsa and chips--- First bite tasted like tomato paste to me, very tangy and had a kick of spice. Chips were warm. No Guacamole!!!! What Mexican place has no guac? Chimichanga de pollo-- Shredded chicken with some onions, peppers and covered in cheese sauce. Fajitas mixta-- Steak was a little tough and chicken was very thin slices. Lacked some spices. More onions, green peppers and tomatoes than meat. It wasn't bad, but for our taste we have had better. The whole meal lacked spices. Would we recommend? Yes, give it a try, you might like it. Salsa is good but it's too tomato pastey for us.

The service is amazing and the staff is very friendly. Gives you a family owned feeling. We started with the Papusa's. So fresh and tasty. The masa was delicious and they were very cheesy. I could've ate this for the entire meal. I had the fried chicken on top of plantains covered in cabbage and tomatoes with salsa and drenched in a fantastic tangy crema. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Jacob had the same as I, but with beef. The ground beef was so tasty. I could eat here every week. I have never had Honduran food before, so I don't know if I can say the following statement. But, I felt like grandma was in the back making a real authentic family meal.

I picked up a burritas hondureñas, which was like a corn tortillas sandwich filled with meat, eggs, beans, cheese, and avocado. It was good but the hot sauce on the table kicked it up a notch. The papusas were everything one could want and more. Cheesy, thick, and topped with a tangy curtido. I left feeling pleasantly plump and happy to see a place like this on my quick trip through Knoxville.

Plenty of parking outside with modern signage. Now has outdoor seating. It has grown up into a standard mature but still solid Mexican place. Clean setting . The salsa bar is still here an excellent feature. Fresh ingredients and made salsa. Plenty on limes and cilantro. The service is great and responsive. Vibe is Mexican music playing in background and loud enough to dominate but not drown out table conversation. Full bar (pool table now gone). Plenty of TVs in bar area. Plenty of tables for seating through out this place with booths and tables. Can accommodate large parties with the central tables. Now to the food. Comes out warm and hot. I got the steak burrito and a couple of tacos carne asada and Al pastor. Chips came in advance. Chips were solid and fresh. Burrito not well wrapped and very hot with the butter grilled cooking of the tortilla. Basic with steak cut into small bite size pieces and rice and beans. Not evenly distributed and quickly fell apart when handling after a few bites. Tacos with single corn tortilla and respective meats and you dress yourself with onions and cilantro and limes from the salsa bar. Food better than OK. Final assessment, if you are in the neighborhood this is a solid place. Very reasonably priced. Family and large group friendly or just for a single or couple at the bar. Would not go out of my way for this place but in my case left my downtown hotel with a $12 uber to reminisce and happy to have done it. 4 stars because very solid. Not 5 stars because wouldn't travel and go out of my way to go here.

We had margaritas, they were good to. We had frozen type, and the food was fresh and sizzling when it came out. I think our waitress was new because she couldn't answer some of the questions we asked about a couple of dishes. The food was flavorful and it was nice to see so many different dishes to order. The prices were normal.
