I always love heading to A La Brasa for authentic, delicious Mexican food in Madison. The prices are always awesome and the food is so consistently good, it's hard not to love. My favorite dish on the menu is the Chimichanga, which the chefs were happy enough to make a vegetarian version of for me. The free chips and salsa are delicious, and the margaritas (I got mine frozen and mango flavored) are delicious and refreshing! One of my favorite aspects of the restaurant is the cute outdoor patio, which is great for summer. I genuinely feel that A la Brasa has that unique combination of being authentically Mexican but also affordable, something you don't always see in gimmicky Tex-mex places or questionable hole-in-the-walls. Although it's a bit off the beaten path (~5 min from State St), it's 100% worth venturing off for.. You won't be disappointed with the delicious food, cute (although cheesy) décor, or the always kind staff. And hey, the margaritas are always a perk!
