) "Great food, prices, atmosphere, and service!"
"Literally canned cold beans tomato soup for enchilada sauce..."
"The small meal I ordered to hold me over until supper was so filling!"
4 I had the pleasure of dining at Los Braseros Mexican Restaurant in Austin, Texas, and it was an exceptional experience. The staff welcomed us warmly and served complimentary nachos with three varieties of flavorful sauces to start the meal—a delightful surprise and a great way to set the tone for the evening. For the main course, I ordered a dish that was both visually appealing and delicious. The vibrant flavors of the cheesy enchiladas, perfectly sautéed mushrooms, and well-seasoned Mexican rice combined beautifully on the plate. The refried beans were creamy and rich, providing a comforting balance to the bold flavors. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, making it an ideal spot for enjoying authentic Mexican cuisine. Every element of the experience, from the service to the quality of the food, exceeded my expectations. If you’re in Austin and craving some amazing Mexican food, I highly recommend giving Los Braseros a visit. I will definitely be back to try more dishes from the menu!
5 Food always tast good, drinks are delicious. Thier is not alot of parking though. But decorations are great
5 I literally drove all down Lamar looking for a Mexican restaurant. I've come to this restaurant before and had soup, but the breakfast tacos are top-notch—the best tacos that I’ve had in Austin. The tortilla is freshly cooked, and the wonderful gentleman who helped me was amazing, kind, and nice. I don’t remember his name because I forget everything.
5 Service was great and our food came out quickly. Ordered carne guisada, huevos rancheros and molletes and all tasted soooo good! I also love their agua de jamaica. And on another day we went and had mole, caldo de mariscos and carne asada and it was all delicious!
5 I checked out Los Braseros Mexican Restaurant and really enjoyed it. I ordered the Molletes to start and then went with Enchiladas Supremas and Shrimp Tacos for my main — the flavors were bold, the portions generous, and everything felt homey and satisfying. Their Chile Con Queso Compuesto also stood out — creamy with just enough kick. The staff were friendly and worked quickly, and the ambiance felt like a warm neighborhood Mexican spot. It’s the kind of place you can go to relax, dig into good food, and leave feeling full and happy.
4 This place was a split decision and while we were driving by decided to stop I'm and eat, I must say this was a fantastic decision. The food here was phenomenal, I got chicken fajitas and they didn't not disappoint, delicious to the very last bite. My wife and son got enchiladas and those were amazing too. The bar drinks were stout and served cold. We will be definitely returning.
5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Los Braseros on North Lamar is hands down the best authentic Mexican food you will eat in Austin, TX. Every time I come here, the food is consistently amazing and full of flavor. The chilaquiles are always fresh, perfectly made, and the meat is incredibly tasty and cooked just right—you can truly tell the quality and care put into each dish. On top of the amazing food, the waiters and servers are all so great and incredibly welcoming, from the moment they bring out the salsas and chips all the way until the check. The service truly makes the experience even better. If you’re looking for real, authentic Mexican food that never disappoints, I 100% recommend coming here. This place is a gem!
5 Enjoyed our dinner here very much. The Molcajete was so delicious, especially loved all the sauce/veggie/meat mixture bubbling in the bottom, amazing taste… but the shrimp / camarones on top were super as well. I’d drive a long way for their Molcajete (as it was, we travelled from Tacoma, WA). Everything else we tried was good, my wife liked her menudo very well, pitcher of margaritas was okay to good, nothing special. Service was good except there was a bit too long a wait for 2nd batch of free chips, had to chase down and request on an only semi busy day. There was a 5-8 minute wait for a table despite visible open tables (maybe reservations?). Staff seemed nice, bar looked cool. There was no mariachi band mid-afternoon on Sunday. Wanted to give 4.5 stars but loved the Molcajeteso much, it overcame the minor stuff, so I give 5 stars. We’ll definitely come back here some day. Note there are some old photos posted herein showing a former name of this restaurant.
