So glad we got to experience it. The moment we sat down, the server provided complimentary chips with salsa. Delicious. Some of the many items we ordered were: Guacamole - great. tacos : shrimp, carne asada and lengua. Highly recommend the lengua tacos. Tacos themselves looked and tasted handmade. Chimichanga - large portion and finished with no complaints. Queso ( cheese) Quesadilla : right on point. Kids chicken tenders : embarrassed that we order this but something for the kiddos who haven't or are still developing their palates. Wouldn't recommend though. A bit dry. Wonderful selection of drinks : fountain drinks, frozen lemonade ( delicious) and horchata ( great). They do have a nice bar with a wide selection. Ambiance was laid back and quite quiet with the busy road nearby. 4.35 stars.

This is such a missed spot that deserves probably more hype than it has. I've literally passed by…read morethis restaurant for years and decided to try it for the first time this year for Carry-out with friends. I ordered their pupusas (pork and cheese) and it was definitely done right. The steak/shrimp fajitas are also a very good option. Service is quick. I think weekdays their business is a bit slower. Very casual and spacious restaurant but limited parking.

The restaurant serves authentic South American dishes. You can choose from dishes from Brazil,…read moreColombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. I went here because my mom wanted to eat food from her home country of Ecuador. My mom was craving the tripe stew (guatita). My mom enjoyed it but said it could have been better. Something about boiling the tripe. My wife and I ordered the Kumbia Parrillada. Wow! The portions of meats was overwhelming. We enjoyed it. We had leftovers for 3 people. I'm not a big beef eater. But I'm sure if you like steak, you will definitely love this dish. But the star of the meal was the Marranitas. My wife and I greatly enjoyed this dish. My wife love to eat anything with corn. This appetizer was my favorite dish. It is a little pricey but it's probably average prices of most restaurants. If you enjoy Latin cuisine, I definitely recommend Kumbia. After 10pm, it turns into a dance club. They have live bands or DJs. I didn't stick around for the music. But I'm sure its like any Latin club atmosphere.

I got to try Arepateca at National Night Out. I have seen them at the local farmer's markets and it…read morewas great to finally give them a try. They have two arepas marked as vegetarian. They let me know the Sweet Domino arepa can be made vegan with no cheese. I ordered this and really appreciated how kind and accommodating the woman at the register was. The arepa came out quickly and HOT. I had to wait a little for it to cool before taking a bite. The black beans were so flavorful!! I love how well seasoned they were. The sweetness of the plantains added a nice contrast to the savoriness of the black beans. Additionally this arepa was PACKED with filling. I was shocked how small yet satiating this meal was. Overall I would definitely order this arepa again and am very thankful they were able to make a vegan option for me.

I finally got to check out their brick and mortar location! It is a cute, dimly lit cafe that has…read moregames, beer, wine, coffee, tea, and very cozy seats. I didn't count the tables, but maybe you can seat about 20, and there's a table in the middle that I saw a bunch of folks standing around. Connect Four and some other games were on there. It has been a long time since I last had them, and I was excited for my friend to try them. We each got an arepa, and we split tequenos and chicken empanadas... Yes, we were hungry lol. The chicken salad arepa I was as good as I remembered, and I got a glass of white wine that complimented it perfectly. It was my first time having their tequenos, and they were nice and cheesy. I'd take those over mozzarella sticks for real. There was only one woman working, and she was efficient in handling orders. I would come back just to hang out... But if they got music, that would really set the vibe.

As a local business owner with over 20 years of experience serving customers, I understand how…read moreimportant customer service is. Unfortunately, my recent experiences at La Brasa have been very disappointing. The biggest issue has been the customer service. The person answering the phone has been consistently rude, has taken our orders incorrectly multiple times, and instead of trying to resolve mistakes professionally, argues with customers. That is simply not the level of respect or professionalism I expect from a business that has been part of the community for so many years. I have also noticed that the food quality has declined compared to what it used to be. It's disappointing because this restaurant once had an excellent reputation. I sincerely hope management addresses these concerns by improving customer service, training staff to communicate respectfully, and restoring the quality that made so many people loyal customers. I'd be happy to update my review if I see meaningful improvements.

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, regularly refilling our water glasses and checking to see if we needed anything. After we finished eating, we stayed for about 30 minutes just chatting and catching up, and we never felt rushed. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience with great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

We wound up picking the fish out and feeding it to the cat, the rest was fit only for the garage disposal. The tasty Cadillac margaritas during our 45 minute wait was what saved them from a 1 star review. Bottom line: Don't trust them with carry out or delivered orders

I also ordered their passion fruit mojito for any alcohol drinkers. You can barely taste the alcohol in it. I wouldn't say it is a formal restaurant at all but could potentially you could come in slightly more formal for a date night. It is definitely family friendly and there's plenty of seating.
