    Pastor Tacos
    Patrick B.

    This review is for the food and not the service. The service was decent but I'm sure you won't care about my experience. You wish to know how the food came out. For me this was a 4.1. The pastor tacos were good but not write home quality. The guacamole was fresh but a bit salty. TBH I loved it but my wife did not. I would order it again. The fajitas were very good. My wife loved them which is rare! Just a note. What we really noticed was that everything freshly made. The chips came out warm and I can tell you they were made on site, likely because they were made by the corn tortillas which came out fresh on site too. That is a plus in my book!!! Now for the complaints which were minor, but had an effect on the rating. Their salsa wasn't hot at all. The waiter brought a spiced sauce bottle to the table to kick it up and suggested we add some. The bottle was good but obviously not fresh. There was a bit of a language issue, we got past it but it was there. To me this was a 4.2 but I would go back. After all with a little less salt on the guacamole and a different option for a taco this could have been an incredible meal!!! Thanks for reading.

    Tostadas de camaron

    Good local owned authentic Mexican restaurant. We came here a couple of times during our visit in Sarasota. We had their red and green enchiladas, mole, fajitas, and tostadas. Everything was great. We are from Texas and like to visit authentic Mexican since we have majority of texmex back home. This was definitely a great restaurant to stop by after a Long Beach day. It's right next door to subway. They normally close around 9pm during the week. Very laid-back atmosphere.

    Carnitas,chicken,steak and al pastor tacos
    Thomas R.

    Visiting from California I found a random Mexican restaurant near my hotel with notable good reviews on here. Located on Washington Ave in a small parking lot connected to subway and another business is this hole in the wall you might miss.. The first thing I do for any Mexican spot is buy tacos of every meat I'd be interested in to judge the flavor. It's easy to aim and miss by ordering your favorite meat and the business specializes in another meat that you'd enjoy even more. With that said, 3/4 passed with flying colors. The steak tacos cost more by 50 cents or so which I wouldn't mind but it was the only bland taco in my opinion. I wont take any points away for it, just don't bet the farm on it before committing to your order. The salsa Verde is good, add salt or pepper to anything you feel may be lacking and you're for certain to have a good meal. I had to ask, being from California if there were even any mexicans in town or was this a random Mexican restaurant. To my surprise I was told the majority of the Latin community in sarasota is actually Mexican and the tacos make me believe it.. lol this isn't a mexican place made by people of another ethnicity with their spin on it. If you're looking for some decent Mexican food in town, I'd recommend this place and possibly a few other joints. You won't be let down here.

    The brand New Mexican family size hutch
    Tara H.

    A new Hispanic style large group " hutch" style seating of light oak wood complete with festive Mexican fabric seat pillows has been added! And... the entrees and this time rice and beans were delicious- - " Como nuestra abuela lo hecho"! Like how our grandmother made. We first thought of going to nearby Grasshopper, but last minute I got cold feet and said," No, let's go for guaranteed GENUINE Mexican food-- a longer drive but well worth it! Three small table top bowls of excellent salsas and fresh onion relishes accompanied our delicious fajitas with shrimp chicken beef plus a wonderful fried fish dish. They are known for their seafood and ESP their Cerviche. Their selection of intriguing seafood dishes fills an entire page of their 6 page menu. This is genuine family style home made Mexican food not turista style. EVERYTHING written 8 months ago still holds! Enjoy!

    It was my first time coming to this restaurant and it definitely won't be my last. The customer service by our lady waitress was more than outstanding. The environment was very clean. Lastly the food was so good! Would definitely recommend.

    Absolutely delicious. Food here was very fresh and authentic. The tacos were awesome and everything we had tasted great. Prices are very reasonable. Special taco deal on taco Tuesday. Check them out! Parking directly informs available in the small plaza. Location is not my favorite; but worth it for the food.

    Love using the yelp community for recommendations. You did not disappoint! Everything was homemade and delicious. It's a small hole in the wall, but food is amazing. Our server was also very nice. We'll be coming back soon!

    This place is the best authentic Mexican restaurant I have been to in the Sarasota area and that's not to say it lightly as I grew up in a predominantly Hispanic town near the Texas-Mexico border. Give this place a try if you're looking for true authentic Mexican dining.

    We've been eating at La Brisa for years and despite having some of the best Mexican food in Sarasota it's never been that busy at the times we've gone. Tonight it was exceptionally slow. Unfortunately, they're at the point of being seriously concerned. The rent just went up (not sure how it's justified from looking at the run down strip mall they're in). Honestly it's not in a great location (sandwiched between a Subway and Metro T-Mobile just south of 12th St.), but their food and their service are outstanding. I'm a big fan of their chicken chimichanga and it's loaded with chicken ($12.99) and always enough for two meals. They also cater. On our way out this evening I put in my order for a dozen chicken tamales ($29.00) which I'll pick up on Sunday. I really want to share some love for this place. They deserve it. Give them a try. You'll be pleased. 1156 N. Washington Blvd., Sarasota, FL 34236 941-552-8868

    Delicious, this is authentic Mexican cuisine. Staff is friendly, place is clean and well organized. Horchata water was perfect, not too sweet and not too milky. Waiter was super polite and friendly. I highly recommend this place.

    Roxanna G.

    The best menudo and horchata on a weekend morning. I brought my family here for breakfast before and we are once again pleased with the customer service and true authentic Mexican vibe. I recommend La Brisa for breakfast, lunch snd dinner. They serve homemade tortillas too.

    Tacos
    Brandon D.

    Food was alright, not very good tacos, soggy, microwaved. the entire thing was hot in a way that is obvious when it is microwaved, but whatever, 4 tacos and a drink 17$. Too expensive for mediocre tacos, won't be going back.

The chicken was alright at first but then I could tell soon enough that it was pretty salty. I didn't care for the additional sauce options. I chose a white balsamic vinaigrette and a garlic aioli which is so much garlic. Customer service was fine they answered all my questions on what everything was. There's no labels or signs that say what the item is. Unless u follow the menu word for word which is not possible when u have to decide faster. Ambiance - this one is my favorite compared to the Tampa and St. Pete location. I do like the variety of items and that they do work with local farms.

Everything from having a gloves directly touching my food (thumbs in my food specifically) to rude and unsimpathetic management, to incorrect charges on my bill. The food is good. Best Mac and cheese ever. Unfortunately energy needs to shift. I'd start with a fresh manager and team and have an owner overseeing this facility more closely. It doesn't live up to the original location in Tampa. Update 6/3/26: came in to give another try. 3 fingers with gloves in my food as I was being served. I told the gentleman and he said "we have gloves on" as he was touching his screen for the order snd counter with the same gloves . Gloves mean nothing. I chose to leave and not eat here. Such a disappointment that they are so careless with cleanliness even after the issue has been ongoing and they have been made aware of it. Also if a customer is not happy with gloves I'm the food, you probably should just offer to replace the bowl and make it right but the employees don't care. *Owners take note* unfortunately your management doesn't care and you won't be aware of this ongoing issue.

    After a relaxing day at Siesta Key beach, we stopped at The Cottage for lunch. I cannot say enough…read moregreat things about this restaurant. It's got a relaxing beach vibe with outside seating and a nice patio in the back with enough shade. I could tell that they host nightly entertainment here with a small stage. For lunch, I ordered the lobster maki roll. I'm not a big sushi fan, but I was intrigued. This lobster roll was one of the best sushi rolls I've had in a long time. Also ordered include the blackened grouper sandwich, billionaire burger, and tempura shrimp appetizer. Our group loved every entree. The cocktails were also refreshing. I really loved my jalapeño watermelon margarita. Our server was wonderful - very friendly and quick service. Definitely an enjoyable lunch or dinner spot!

    We booked this place via OpenTable since it received great reviews. We ended up parking next door…read moresince parking was a bit hard to navigate. The parking place had ample parking where you needed a mobile app to pay for your parking. There was a larger souvenir store there if you needed to kill time before your seating. Once it was our time for our dinner reservations, we were greeted and seated at our table. Our waitress was a bit sarcastic or had a witty comments that didn't sit well with my kids. When ordering our foods, the kids asked what type of drinks they had since it was not listed on the menu. She said Coke but didn't elaborate that they had Coke products. Since she said Coke so fast our daughter didn't hear the response and asked her the question again where she just said that's a great question and ignored her and moved on. Food wise - we had the Peruvian ceviche, Peruvian chicken, I think I had a special grouper dish. The food was good. We were able to eat everything and the kids enjoyed their kids burger meals. Outside of the waitress comments, the place placed nice modern music to listen to and had the basketballs games playing on the tv at the bar.

Instead of explaining why they tasted different, two bartenders argued with us and told us we were wrong. They even remade one. The second one tasted exactly the same. Only then were we told that they don't actually use tequila--they use an infused wine product instead. Looking at the menu, it's easy to see why we were confused. The drinks are listed with ingredients like tequila, vodka, whiskey, rum, and gin. The only indication otherwise is a tiny line at the bottom that says they serve "Premium Blend Spirits." That doesn't clearly communicate that these cocktails aren't made with actual liquor. What really ruined the experience was the attitude. Rather than simply explaining the difference, the two bartenders argued with us, told us we were wrong, and we could clearly hear them making negative comments about us afterward. We ended up canceling our food order and leaving. Our server was kind, and we still left them a tip because this wasn't their fault. Unfortunately, the way the situation was handled means we won't be back.
