| - A La Brasa is a great neighborhood restaurant that's VERY affordable.
My favorite thing about A La Brasa is their nightly drink specials. On Wednesdays, all beers are $2.50 (used to be $2 but they increased the price!) and on Fridays, they have margarita specials (albeit for pre-mixed frozen margaritas). They also have tacos for $2.50 on Tuesday nights.
I had a little trouble finding vegetarian options on the menu. There are a few, but they're not indicated in any way and they use Spanish terms for some of the meat (like carnitas, chorizo, and some others that I didn't recognize). I got the Huevos a la Mexicana, which had eggs and a bunch of vegetables in it. It was cooked well, but it was SO spicy because it had so many jalapenos in it. The menu mentioned that they were in the dish, but it didn't indicate that it was a spicy dish. I won't be getting that one again.
The patio out front is perfect in the summer and is just off the street enough that you're not bothered by the traffic. We weren't able to sit outside, but I've seen lots of others dining out there.
Like I said earlier, it's decent for a neighborhood spot and has great drink specials, but not my all-time favorite Mexican restaurant.
