I asked for only cilantro & onions and they loaded my tacos with lettuce. Heck, they put more lettuce which I didn't ask for than meat with a sprinkle of onions and a speck of cliantro Food is too expensive now a days to be paying for and not getting the way you wanted it. Beans was runny and the meat was just cooked. No seasoning what's soo ever. I'll just stick my regular places for tacos. I was real hungry and my niece wanted food from here so I figured I would give it a chance read more

Brasas is amazing. It's a small local spot in Oak Park. Been going here for like 4 years. They always get my order right (veggie burrito) and my wife's steak tacos. The Jamaica is always flavorful and the service is always on point fries always made to order. when dining in they are so attentive 10/10 everytime read more

Burrito was ok. The meat didn't have a lot of flavor, and the Burrito was mostly lettuce. They charge $10 for the Burrito. I was disappointed. As the service it is ok. When you eat there, they only give you 1 napkin for your burrito, which is hard not to make a mess. The restaurant itself is very small. There are only 4 tables. So if you go. It's a 50/50 chance you will get eat inside. read more

01/10/20 - Late Saturday night I was craving a fish taco. I was on Yelp and found Brasas @ 6011 W Roosevelt in Berwyn had what I was looking for. The restaurant is very small. I ordered a fish taco dinner w/beans & rice. The fish tacos came cabbage, avocado, cilantro, tomatoes all on 2 corn tortillas. The fish tacos had fresh cut crispy cabbage that gave the taco a nice crunch. I added a red salsa on top and a excellent wala a perfect taco (I will be back for more fish tacos) read more

This is a great little taco joint. I love the steak and fish tacos. The guacamole is done well with homemade chips. The green salsa is my favorite! It's a small joint and they stay busy! read more

Absolutely one of the best sandwiches that we've ever had. Ranks right up there in the top 3 for sure! My brother has been telling us about Brasas for a couple of years and this time we finally stopped. Now we can't wait to go back! One of the best things Chicago is there are these little hole in the wall places that have excellent food. This place reminds us of the Depot. Another little hole in the wall on Roosevelt but the chef came from the 95th. My brother said the tortas are the thing to get here. Although he also said breakfast is pretty good. So tortas it was. Two of us ordered the chicken Milanese and one carne asada. When these are served it looks like a mini loaf of french bread. They are huge. The bread one of the most important components to any sandwich was soft and pillowy. The milanese was crispy and not overdone. The carne asada was juicy and flavorful. The tortas come with lettuce and tomato. I finished mine first and started eyeing my wife who gave me the touch mine and sleep on the couch for the next month look. I could have and wanted to eat more but then again there is always next time. And maybe breakfast too. These tortas were outstanding! read more

New to the Berwyn area and wanted to try out the lock restaurants. Brasas yelp reviews are great and I had to try out their food myself. I ordered the 3 taco dinner with beans and rice. 2 steak and 1 pork with everything. I also ordered a side of chips and salsa. The meal was delicious. I enjoyed my tacos and was happy that their meat was seasoned and tender. Rice and beans were good and basic. The chips are fresh. The only thing I dislike is there salsa for the chips. The salsa was not Pico de gallo. I recommend and will be returning to try something new. SN: They were only accepting call in orders and pick ups as of 06/05/2020 read more

Brasas - 3 Taco Dinner!! - Mexican Near Me - Cicero, Illinois

Lovely food. Will definitely come back. I enjoy their burgers. Very juicy and tender.

Great service. They were friendly once we came in. I got the stuffed French toast with strawberry. It was ok. I didn't really taste the strawberry. The egg Benedict is a must! It was really good. The egg was cooked perfectly and the yolk oozing out when out Polk through it was just sooooo good. The banana foster French toast was ok. I wasn't really impressed but it did the job. read more

My wife and I had burrito dinners delivered; she had steak and I had chicken. Independently, we had the same reaction that the meat had a delicious smokey flavor. She said, "it's like they grilled outside!" Best burrito I remember ever having. The read more

Rosa J. relies on CTA to get around the city, so she pays attention to detail on places she passes by frequently using her staple routes: #85 (Central) or #91 (Austin). "Brasas" is near the southwest corner of Austin and Roosevelt (the Cicero side). It's principally a take-out joint, with four (4) small tables. Our Mexican neighbors had a fun party last night, and this morning I overheard their conversation about "desayunos." Hubby and I thought about heading down south side to Little Village to get some carne en su jugo, but we were afraid that the restaurants would be super busy, filled with the after-church crowd. There was no wait time at "Brasas," and they really have an excellent fish taco. If you're one of these people who are looking for a mega large-portioned Mexican feast, you won't get it here yet you will leave the restaurant comfortably full and satisfied. I'm definitely coming back for more of these fish tacos. It appears to be family-owned, and they treated us kindly the entire time. There are too many hole-in-the-wall (or at least semi hole-in-the-wall) Mexican places in the neighborhoods of Chicago or in the suburbs. Whenever I take CTA #91 southbound, I'm taking Brasas' tacos de pescado home! read more

I was with my daughter for the day, and it was lunch time. I pulled up Yelp to look for Mexican food nearby and Brasas came up. If you were driving about in Chicagoland you could miss this tiny place, but you'll never forget the hospitality or the food. EVERYTHING is fresh and cooked to order. Our hostess took our order and a few others as well as phone orders while we were there. There are only a few small tables, so we decided to eat there. China plates, WOW. My daughter ordered up her taco fav and I ordered up a chicken burrito. We've eaten elsewhere, but I have to say that fresh and to order makes a great difference. She brought red and green chili sauce bottles to our table and asked if there was anything else that we would need. We were impressed by the meal and service. My daughter said she's probably going to do some take home from there as it's close to where she works. OH the price was great as well as the meal. If you're in Berwyn, or nearby here's another great place to go. read more

I really wanted to wait to review this place because I'd heard the service was curt & not so pleasant. So I wanted to visit a few times, butttttt I decided to give them a pass because my visit was nice. I was greeted with smiles. I ordered 3 steak tacos w/everything which is cilantro/onions/lettuce/tomatoes. I got it to go, but smashed it in the car. The food was fresh. The meat was grade A. I've found a new taco joint that's not far from my home. Yayyyyyyy Now if I go back & the attitudes suck, y'all know I'll update the review! read more

Wow. Just...WOW. Ordered their Torta Steak Milanesa on the way back to the burbs. That was the longest drive ever since I had to wait for my order. So, in other words, it was nice and hot and the smell in the car made my mouth water. Needless to stay, I didn't even take my coat off and went straight to the kitchen for a plate. Wrapped in foil, shaped like half a deflated football, it was heavy. Upon opening, I could see the steak hanging out of the bread, all around. First bite was magnificent, with the crunch of the well-seasoned breading. Steak was tasty and the bread to meat ratio was spot on! The bollilo roll was toasted with butter just righ, but still soft. The creamy avocado was a nice contrast to the crunch. This place is small but mighty with what they're serving! Make an effort and find this place because you deserve amazing eats! read more

Brasas - Thumbs up I ate my food too fast but great steak - Mexican Near Me - Cicero, Illinois

This is one of my favorite places, full stop. It is so tiny but for some reason I love that. The honest truth is that I've never even had a taco from this place yet, because I got a cheeseburger and fries the first time I went and it was so unbelievable wonderful that I have never been able to get anything else. It is the greatest and most delicious burger I have ever eaten in my entire life. I never thought that honor would go to a Mexican taco joint, most regarded for their tacos, but there you have it. And though I have not had a taco from here yet, I just know in my bones that when I do it will be just as delicious. They use the same grill for all of this stuff, and that gives this burger a flavor that is so distinct and layered and full-bodied. And it is large and you can even see it getting made. God almighty, I love this dang burger. And it's only five bucks! Go to this place. read more

I have gotten a torta de pollo (NOT milaneza de pollo) at several places and nothing will ever compare to the one here at Brasas. Their bread never falls apart like other places, the pieces of chicken are the perfect size (not huge chunks, but also not shredded), and the toppings are in perfect proportion to the torta, not bathed in sour cream like other places. The bread is perfectly toasted and the avocado takes it over the edge. I'm so lucky (or not) that I work 2 minutes away! read more

Brasas - I love this place but every time I order food it's never the same price and it always goes up. This is a recent menu - Mexican Near Me - Cicero, Illinois

Terrible food and even worse customer service. There were issues that were their fault and they offered nothing to make them right, and told me I needed to come pick up side items that they forgot even though the food had been ordered for delivery. If they don't have drivers,, fine.. then offer something toward the Bill or toward the next order.. don't tell the customer to jump in their car and pick up sides for a delivery order. Offered me nothing on the current order or toward the next, and that's why there won't be a next. Was the driest, pastiest burrito I've ever had. Go ahead and order if you're into that sort of thing. read more

Brasas - Nasty eating area I guess they don't have any one for house keeping - Mexican Near Me - Cicero, Illinois

Super small (maybe four tables) place on Roosevelt west of Austin with one of the best steak burritos I have had in a while. They cook the burrito on the flattop after they stuff it, giving the tortilla a lovely golden crust , which I really like. The steak was good quality, without the excessive fatty parts that some places sneak in on you. Overall I would definitely recommend this place, and get ikn line behind me, cause I am returning SOON. read more

I've only had breakfast here because it's on my way home from the night shift at the hospital. I'm in the middle of demolishing a stack of cinnamon raisin apple French toast right now.

I was craving a good carne asada taco loaded with cilantro and found this place on yelp. So. Off I went to get me 3! It's a small restaurant near Austin and Roosevelt with street parking. The dining room was small but clean with high top tables. The cook makes the food pretty much in front of you because he's right behind the counter. The customer service was pleasant and my food was made to order. Piping hot! Overall a good experience. I enjoyed the carne asada taco and also ordered the chicken taco to try. Delish. My only gripe is that I didn't get any limes with my order but I also didn't ask for any either so not their fault. Shouldn't assume folks! Stop by and give it a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

I haven't tried all of their options, however their steak tacos with cilantro and onion and guacamole are . Wait time is....what wait time? Walked in, placed my order, and walked out in less than 10 mins. Small hidden gem near the corner of Austin and Roosevelt. Side note: they've always individually packed all of my tacos which is a plus, since when packed together they seem to get soggy (from other restaurants) read more

No bueno! No good! Don't do it! The order was wrong, the meat was chewy, they were stingy with the salsa, and I could have gone without the $1 generic tortilla chips. read more

Omgggg THE BEST torta !!!!!! YOU HAVE TO TRY THE CARNE ASADA !!! The bread is super big/fatty it has an amazing taste !!!!!! I've tried tortas from a lot of restaurants I MUST SAY THIS IS THE BEST JUST ONE more THING, the tacos/tortilla (taco shells) are not big enough,, my hand is bigger than the tacos size; to pricy for that size... I could definitely give them a 4.5 just cause of the size of the taco, but no joke I LOVED THAT TORTA ;; so 5 it is read more

Absolutely positively hands down, the best Mexican food that I have ever had! This place has become a minor addiction. :) burritos, tacos, burgers, nachos, soups; I have tried them all over the last few weeks. If you consider yourself a foodie, don't die before going here. It just might complete your life. Ok, maybe that's a little exaggeration, but try it first. The place only has 3 tables with 6 chairs, so be prepared to take it to go. Staff is friendly and efficient. Be sure to mention this article. It will do nothing for you, but maybe they will give me a discount. :) -Karl read more
