The dinner at El Bracero was very flavorful that hit the spot. I ordered the Chicken Fiesta, started with the Chunky Guacamole appetizer, and sipped on a Coke Zero throughout the meal. The appetizer came out fresh. The big chunks of avocado gave it a great texture, and it was well-balanced with lime, cilantro, and just a hint of jalapeño. It paired perfectly with the warm tortilla chips, which were crisp without being greasy. The Chicken Fiesta is always my go to. The chicken is well-seasoned, the mix of grilled veggies added a smoky depth, and the portion size was generous without being overwhelming. I paired my meal with a Coke Zero, nothing fancy here, classic and refreshing. The vibe was casual and welcoming. Staff were attentive without hovering, and the food came out quickly. I'd definitely come back-especially for that guac. read more

Good food, good service and good margaritas :) that's all it matters when you go to Mexican restaurants, I have no complains so I would recommend read more

We were in town for a couple of weeks for work. I ate there three times I'm from S. Tx. The sweet tea was good. The food was amazing, I had shredded chicken taco salad, it was very fresh. Second go around I had beef enchiladas and rice also amazing and my last night there I had crispy tacos. The service was great and prices were affordable. read more

Fast service! Free nachos and salsa were a W. The enchiladas with chicken were delicious, especially the cheesy one. The fajitas had a smoky flavor and sizzled fresh on the pan. Cheerful and relaxed ambiance for families and friends, would visit again! read more

Had the grilled shrimp platter. It was cooked perfectly over veg rice. Excellent overall experience.

The food here is amazing. It never disappoints. The staff is always friendly. I enjoy the atmosphere also.

I'm not saying the food isn't bed, it's pretty good.. but the service wasn't necessarily the best either. We came in, sat down, ordered, got our food quickly, and then our waitress went ahead and brought us our check, and we hadn't even started to eat yet. I thought it was so rude because I felt like I was being rushed out of there, and she basically said we're done and can't order anything else. It was super disrespectful and we were there maybe 30 minutes? read more

Very slow service, I asked 2 waiters for salsa and only one brought it back. He didn't check on us like he should have. I had a Asada torta and it wasn't cut up so it was very hard for me to bite into it. My daughter had a piece of foil in her chicken pasta. The Trenton location is soooo much better. I've been in the food service industry for 20yrs, so I'm not just complaining I know how things should be. read more

I come here for the drinks rather than the food. Suan at the bar is always on point! This night I was hungry and decided to eat. I chose the fajita burrito with chicken and I swapped my refried beans for black beans (no charge.) The burrito was good but still my margarita was the star. read more

Got Doordash from here on a weekday evening, got the Jalisco special which was grilled steak, chicken and shrimp cooked with onions, green bell pepper and red bell peppers, covered with the special cheese sauce, and I got the full order. I asked for salad instead of rice and was given it, and salsa and chips were given too. The chicken and steak were both a bit dry and flavorless, although the shrimp was juicy. It was a ton of food but pretty average in terms of taste. read more

So end up ordering for delivery again I think it's the cooks definitely that make the food taste different I ordered again and it was sooooo good definitely recommend read more

Coming from CA, I'm picky about my Mexican food. While this wasn't authentic, it was still very good. The restaurant is huge, but the service is efficient. Probably the best Mexican food I've had since we came to the area, but that bar hasn't been set very high by the other places we've tried. read more

We enjoyed our dinner-- Carne Asada steak for my Sweetie...and the Wet Burrito w/beef tips for me. Our server Linsey was quite helpful in sorting out options from among the many dishes on the restaurant's massive menu. Lots of Tex-Mex standards, and plenty of house specialties too. All are reasonably priced, and the portions very generous. The Carne Asada offered enticing aromas and an attractive presentation, featuring roasted garlic bulb and jalapeño. Little wonder it's a favorite dish among the regulars. I was impressed with the tender, flavorful chunks of beef in my burrito as well. Couldn't put down my fork...even tho it would have been enough for two meals! A tasty margarita topped things off. Well worth the stop, after a long day's drive -- just what we were looking for! read more

A baby Roach is inside my Tall Margarita... Let Alone I notify manager and all he offered another one... But why would I take another so I let him know Respectfully that I will not eat here no more. The Manager Responds okay then You can leave... professionalism was poor. read more

Usually great and definitely my preferred route to order mole or guacamole. Portions are good. I usually pay for delivery, not in person. I will say this is my favorite local Clarksville delivery for Mexican, authentic or no read more

I've been here twice and had delivery it's blah. Salsa is watered no flavor food is just not good cheesy rice is box mix ruined the dinner My waiter was super kind and busy. First time I sat at the bar they were rude unless u were a friends or male that's why I went to a table 2nd time. The soup on weekends is awful had it delivered wouldn't do that again. read more

This is one of my favorite lunch stops after visiting Nashville TN. We had an errand to run in Nashville and upon returning home I always like to stop in Clarkesville TN to have lunch and to do a little shopping before returning to Paducah KY. My friend ordered a lunch special quesadilla fajitas and I ordered the Taquito Dorados. It was a beautiful day so we ask to sit outside. The chips and salsa came out as soon as we sat down. It did not take long to get our lunch and as usual it was delicious! This restaurant has good food and the staff is really attentive to your needs. Our server was excellent and checked in on us several times during our meal. Thank you El Bracero and your staff for a great lunch experience! read more

My husband and I have been going to El Bracero on Madison Street every Friday night for well over a year. (We are not only creatures of habit, but when something works, why change it?) I have tried nearly everything on the menu, and have never been disappointed. (The quesabirrias, in particular, are phenomenal!) The waitstaff is quick and courteous, and the food comes out so fast you barely have time to sip your drink and eat a few chips before it's delivered, steaming, to your table. I'm not sure how they manage to produce such delicious food so quickly, week after week! Highly recommend! read more

First time that I have ever been here and I am really impressed. The salsa I can tell is homemade, and if you love cilantro, you will love the salsa. The empanadas and the flautas were both really good! There was a kind of sweetness that I really liked from the pork empanadas. The chicken flautas were light, crispy, and rather juicy. Though I'm not a local(I live about 3hrs away), I will be returning to this place whenever I am back in the area! read more

Rating is mostly for the customer service and how quick they usually are. I'm from CA, so I know good Mexican food. Usually not the freshest ingredients at time but food is still fairly good. I like how strong their margaritas are also. And their fajitas are great. I prefer west coast tacos for tacos though. We used to eat here once a week and now it moved to about once or twice a month. read more

Had the fajitas, Jalisco. Came to my table very fast, not sizzling. Very good portion. Very delicious shrimp, beef, and chicken. Sweet tea is also very tasty. read more

First visit to this location. Excellent service and food. Salsa and chips were awesome. My husband had a Bracero Bowl and raved about it. He said it was the best meal he had ever had at a Mexican restaurant. We ate there twice while traveling through Clarksville in a two day period. When we travel back that way, I'm sure we'll visit there again. read more

The food is always good, last time i went we had a tall skinny waitress I didn't catch her name but she was not Hispanic. She didn't write down ANY of our order and then brought out everything wrong. I asked for no chorizo and it had SO Much chorizo it was greasy and gross and I couldn't eat it, maybe she didn't understand what chorizo was, but you should learn the menu if you work in a mexican restaurant. The ambience is nice. read more

Never ever have I heard of an el bracero. Is it another option for myself to eat on a weekend? Yes, it absolutely is. While el bracero seems like another Mexican restaurant to add competition to a Taco Bell, it honestly surpasses the expectation of quality, price, presentation and time. As someone who enjoys Mexican food, the simplicity of steak on a tortilla and a cold beer is filling for an experience at another Mexican restaurant. From my personal experience here, that's all I needed and it left me very satisfied. Fast service, very clean and friendly, the atmosphere was very relaxing, the tasty options on the menu looked amazing and the price was something I'd pay for if I was seeing someone to break up with them that night. It's overall a perfect place to enjoy the food and beer on a weekend. Thanks bracero! read more

We have been here several times and always have a greatt experience. The food is amazing, the prices are great and the service incredible. In fact, the food mat come out a little too fast, so stagger your ordering. I usually get the quesidilla vegetarian, it's packed with several different veggies. Weve also got the Carne asada and the al pastor. Kids menu is great. Drinks are great. Bathrooms are clean, which is always a plus for us. And they have a cute area where they make the tortillas. Long happy hour. Seriously no complaints! read more

First visit. Could be my last. I did like the salsa but the chips are thick and possibly old. Also, the waiter missed both of our orders. And even tho we repeated our order several times in order to be understood, evidently they did their own thing! We ordered ala carte but got the whole plates brought to us and charged accordingly. Not good. Asked if they fried their taco shells....they said yes. Brought to table and looked like it came out of a box. read more

Terrible. Getting worse everytime we come. We've came for years and I don't think I'll be back. I sent back cold tacos I had ate a few bites of one of the three, got back cold tacos but minus one. It was a terrible experience... read more

El bracero is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in town. Check out my other reviews to see which one is my favorite in town! I always get the same thing when I come here or the one on exit 1. It's the Al Pastor and/or the Molcajete. I loveeeee me some grilled veggies and a ton of protein. Also their skinny margaritas are super bomb. The service never disappoints and their restaurant is always clean. I actually celebrated my birthday here this year because they have a party area. I honestly like this El bracero over the one on exit 1 maybe because it's brand new but the environment is just more lively. I love it and you should definitely try it! Also, order the Molcajate, it has grilled shrimp, steak, chicken, lots of veggies, and even cactus on the edges. read more

Service was bad although food was good. My friend and I were there for over 20min before someone came to help us. Came to find out the server was eating lunch, as she was serving us. read more

My God! How can this place even be open? Total garbage. Burnt taquitos to raw fajita vegetables. Stay away.

First time but definitely won't be my last visit here for tasty food and great service! Friendly staff, was greeted at front door and seated quickly. Chips and Salsa arrived soon after and orders were taken promptly. I have to add we were 7 adults and 2 children and everyone received there desired meals just as ordered. Wait staff frequently checked on us and refilled our drinks. read more

I've ate here many if times, the food comes out fast. So it's great if you're super hungry and don't want to wait long, or if your just stopping by during your lunch break. The salsa and chips here are probably one of My favorite around town.... I like to switch up my meals when I go, last time I went I got the the cheesy chicken, steak and rice. Only disappointment was there was like no cheese on it. And I have to say normally there is tons of cheese on it and it's like an amazing cheese Heaven. But I said something and the waiter gave me some extra cheese right away. All was great! Also my waiters name was Ruben. He was nice, joked a lot and was very tentative to our table! read more

Never ever disappoints. I only do take out here & it's fucking fantastic every time. & big portions for a low price. Can't go wrong

Had a horrible experience at Dos Margaritas, so I was wary. But this restaurant did not disappoint. We had great service and their nachos supreme with shredded chicken, beef, cheese, refried beans, lettuce, tomato and sour cream were delicious! I haven't ordered nachos in years, so this was a real treat for my sister and me. My only complaints here are that the music is too loud and my margarita wasn't impressive. But I'd still go back here in a heartbeat. If you're staying in Clarksville out on Holiday Drive and are craving Mexican cuisine, definitely consider dining here. read more

Yes. Great margaritas....it actually HAD tequila in it!! The guacamole was decent, but tasted more like cold-store bought. My taco salad was good, nice tortilla with the usual lettuce, chicken, guac, tomatoes. The restaurant was nice, clean, decorated nice / trendy and had loud Salsa / Meringue music playing. Great food & atmosphere. I will def stop back by next time I am in the area. read more

The food was mediocre, not enough seasoning in my opinion. My lemon water came with a piece of paper stuck on the inside of the cup which was fun Drinks are an 8/10, I will give them that. The service was prompt, our server was a bit aggressive but overall quick and easy. read more
