| - I love good Mexican food and seem to have a difficult time finding good quality Mexican food anywhere on the east side. So we headed downtown, and ate at A La Brasa for lunch during the week and chose to dine outside at a table. At first I began longing for Indian fare, because Maharani is just feet away, and their robust food smells were lofting my way, but my attention was quickly returned to the place at hand when I saw another guest's food brought to their table. Smelled and looked delicious!
We were brought tortilla chips and salsa prior to ordering. The chips here are heftier compared to many restaurants. They weren't heavy or anything, they were very good. Salsa was great as well, just a bit of heat. For my meal, I ordered a combination plate, and chose a chicken enchilada, chicken taco and beef taco (tamales were all sold out, or I would have had a tamale).
They offer a choice of red or green sauce and I picked the red. All three items were wonderful and fresh. The chicken was not shredded which is usually my preference, but still really good. Everything was flavored really well. The red sauce had a little heat, but not too hot at all.
I also ordered a frozen strawberry margarita. No complaints here! Loved it!
Prompt service, nice outside accommodations, wonderful food. Prices are extremely reasonable. I will absolutely be back!
