Las Brisas - Dried up g Tough carnitas - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Hole in the wall. It's been here for more than 30 years a testament to its great food and cleanliness. Their tacos de camarón are perfection ask for the toppings on the side if you won't be eating them right away. Their cocteles are equally delicious. Prices can be beat. Customer service solid. read more

Went to Las brisas for the first time since it was recommended by someone, to start got a coctel de camarón, shrimp had no taste.. the cóctel tasted like just some watered down clamato... I got a tostada mixta.. super dry and honestly like hardly any shrimps or pulpo.. more like a tostada de jaiva imitación.. first and last time I come here .. read more

Las Brisas - Tostada "mixta" - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Fish tacos are great! It's best to order for pick up because place is always pack. The ceviche is okay but fried fish is best.

Sometimes you get good seafood at hidden places. I say hidden because I would not know this place exists if I did not go to Labcorp next door. Ordered Campechana Clamato and I was in heaven, there were large chunks of octopus, oysters, shrimp with chopped cucumbers in delicious clamato juice. They gave lots of limons and crackers with my order. Fish taco is really good too. I will make this my regular mariscos place from now on. Pros: fresh seafood, good prices Cons: parking is hard, try finding street parking. Cashier doesn't speak English, but friendly and accomodating read more

This place is a great fish taco or shrimp taco place. You can't go wrong here. It's a small hide spot that is worth the bad parking lot deal. A must try... one taco is one big size taco lots of fish in it. Service is fast and they are very polite. It's clean and the seating area is clean and comfortable. There is always a line. read more

Fish and myself don't really go well together. I blame salmon and that damn time I got a fishbone stuck in my throat. Normally I like my fish how I like the rest of my food: British. If it isn't that way then I don't really like it. Yesterday the guys at work decided to do Las Brisas for lunch. Not wanting to be a spoil sport, and never having tried fish tacos before I figured I would give it a shot. After all tacos were very reasonably priced ($2.50 for fish, $2.65 for shrimp) so why not? Even if lunch sucked at most I would only be out under $10. Thankfully lunch did not suck! (Parking, on the other hand was an issue). Furthermore, lunch was pretty damn tasty. Las Brisas hooked it up with plentiful tacos. Two would have been enough, with 3 (2 fish, 1 shirmp) I was just being greedy. The fish was my favorite, the shrimp was okay - but I felt the shrimp was too tough, a bit too overcooked for my liking. Both were piled high with lettuce, tomato, sauce, and tons of meat - you really get bang for your buck here! I topped that off with some horchata that really hit the spot. Added some fresh lime juice (from freshly quartered limes) to my tacos and dug in. I am a fan, and I will be back - even though parking sucks. (other facts: cash only, has a tv, small seating area, yes - the line really is that long, atm in the corner, Spanish helps but you can manage with English, and parking sucks!) read more

I've been here a few times so far, and I continue to remain very impressed that this restaurant is able to offer such tasty food of such generous portion sizes at such low prices. There are 4 cartoonishly massive glass jars of agua frescas to the right of the cash register, from which you can choose tamarindo, jamaica, strawberry lemonade, or horchata. Pick your poison, and they'll ladle it for you into a cup size of your choice. I am particularly fond of the horchata and strawberry lemonade. I will attest that the later is made with *extremely* fresh strawberries, as I started experiencing severe allergic reactions upon consumption - and that only happens when I ingest fresh fruits (courtesy of OAS). The fresher they are, the more severe my reactions. The fish and shrimp tacos taste great, and they don't skimp on the portion of seafood within. Considering the low cost, I would say Las Brisas represents a conspicuously high value dining option - you get *A LOT* for your money here. There is no public restroom here, ostensibly because there is barely enough space inside for seating the endless hordes of customers as it is. Also, the parking in the private lot in front is often lacking in availability, and the line inside can often being ridiculously long. But can you really blame this place for being so popular? Having sampled their offerings, *I* sure as hell can't. read more

I love this place their cóctel de camarón is my favorite! The fish tacos is definitely a must too.

"Mariscos", as my coworker calls it, is your goto for good authentic Mexican seafood. They serve everything your dreams are made of - shrimp and fish tacos, plates, ceviche, cocktails and some awesome coconut juices! After an agonizing month of saving money, I finally came here with my coworker who actually lives in the apartments next door. (what better location to live in?!). The line for lunch on a Friday was pretty long and stretched to the door, something like a 10 minute wait, but shrunk considerably after we ordered (around 1pm). Being an ignorant outsider, I ordered 4 tacos - 2 shrimp and 2 pescado just to find out that these tacos are 2-3 times the size of a typical taco and needed two plates to contain :O But WOWOW these tacos were hella bomb! Seafood was fried perfectly and super fresh - literally melt in your mouth, topped with a bed of lettuce and some sour cream+salsa with optional lines and what I believe are Aji Amarillo chilis. Texture, temperature and flavor were in perfect harmony and this was definitely some of the best fish tacos I've ever had! Soo juicy and crunchy! I would recommend going with the pescado(fish) over camarones(shrimp) because they give more fish than they do shrimp, which is also more expensive. Also, make sure you know some basic Spanish when ordering because they don't speak a whole lot of English :) Highly recommend if you're around the Boyle Heights area! Just be careful not to order any more than 3 tacos!!! (unless you're the kind of person to order two chipotle burrito bowls just for yourself.. like me hehe) read more

I been coming to this place since I was little! Best fish tacos I have ever had. Be warned this place tends to get really busy, that's a good sign! I have tried the tacos de pescado, tacos de camarón, tostadas de ceviche, cóctel de camarón and their fish and fries combo. Never have been disappointed! I will continue to come whenever in the area. Parking thought is tough. read more

Las Brisas - Small shrimp cocktail. - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

One of the best fish and shrimp tacos I've ever had! If you ever had fish tacos at Rubio's or Taco Nazo, this place beats it (in my opinion of course). Mexican food usually give me feeling of guilt afterwards (as they are usually heavy and fatty). Not this place. Everything was pretty refreshing! Food: Between the fish and shrimp tacos. The fish was my favorite and most customers favorite. Very fresh and not dry. Lots of cabbage and the sour cream/mayo sauce (I think that's what it is) and the very flavorful spice was amazing and works well altogether!! May be a bit spicy for non spicy eaters but it was worth the little flame. The shrimp one was also good (just not my first fish favorite) as it was also fresh and pretty descent size shrimps. Favorite goes to the fish just because the shrimp as more batter obviously and a bit more saltier than the fish. The shrimp ceviche wasn't bad either but I had better and they gave a smaller portion from other places I had this. For the aqua frescas, best stuff on a hot day. I had the kiwi and lime and boy was that sour and tangy. Almost couldnt drink it but if you like very sour drinks and tang, this drink is for you. I loved their pineapple (pina) drink. Very refreshing and not as sweet as other places I have tried so that is definitely a plus! Parking: Horrible! Worst time to go is a Sunday afternoon family day. No parking at all and plan to wait in line for at least 15-20 minutes and than another 20 min to get your food. Do note that there is a guy that looks like he works as a parking attendant/guider (whatever you call it) and wears a orange vest but will ask you for change when you get back to your car. He's harmless but thought I shared. Ambiance: Don't expect anything fancy. It's a small little place but a little better than a hole in a wall as its surprisingly not too dirty. Yes not bathrooms. Go find one before heading over here or order to go. The food is seriously worth stopping by for. Service: Mainly Spanish speaking but they know enough English to take your order. They are very nice and patient with me since it was my first time there and let me try the different aqua frescas before I buy one. Thank goodness I understood enough Spanish to get by and know what number I was when they called it in Spanish. read more

Amazing fish tacos! The campechanas are delicious as well! I totally recommend this location for seafood options!

Love love love their abulon cocktail and shrimp tacos. I also appreciate that when I pick up for later they pack everything in separate containers so the tacos don't get soggy. read more

Las Brisas offers my favorite Coctel in East LA for an affordable price. If you get the Ostion or Campechana, they put about 8 oysters in there. Tonight I went with the Sopa de Mariscos (seafood soup) and a Tostada de Camaron (shrimp). Very affordable, soup at under $4 and the shrimp Tostada at $1.89. CASH ONLY. read more

Las Brisas appears to be a well noted destination for fast food mariscos in the neighborhood. I think that because it is inexpensive and it's serving size people find it to be a good spot. Expect the service to be friendly. The food was ok. Nothing to brag about. The fish ceviche was not bad. The best thing I had was the shrimp cocktail. It was fine at best. read more

This iconic Laguna Beach restaurant is so fun to visit! The outdoor patio seating has amazing views of the Laguna coast.

I liked that the manager is out and about as well, asking guests how everything was and treated us to birthday cheesecake!!! read more

I don't understand all these good reviews. Maybe due to lack of places to eat in this area, people are getting desperate? Or maybe the only places they are competing with are Subway sandwiches and greasy Thai-Chinese fast food next door? I came here to eat their fish taco and shrimp taco because I was craving for good fish tacos. Someone mentioned in the previous review that their fish and shrimp are like from Van de Kamp's frozen breaded products. I absolutely agree! It's thin, dry, rough in texture. Flavor is not there either. If you come here thinking that you're getting soft, flaky fish dipped in yummy batter like those Ensenada-style fish tacos, you will get disappointed for sure. Those fish and shrimp tacos will definitely leave a lot more to be desired. I'm never coming back. Note it's cash only, and it's got limited parking in the lot. read more

We have been back 3 times since everything opened back up again. Beautiful weather and view but that's about it because the service is horrible, drinks are once again watered down and the food quality is awful. Brought it up to the management's attention and they got defensive about it each time instead of saying the customer is right and let's fix the problem. We gave them the benefit of the doubt and tried them 3 times before writing this review. Sorry but they have lost our business. If you want great watered down drinks, horrible service and food than this is your place. read more

The shrimp tacos here are the best! I drove very far to come here because my friend was raving about it. I was skeptical but now I'm a believer. The shrimp was very fresh and they put so many in a taco! Most places put 2-3 shrimp in a taco this place had like 7-8 and was nothing short of amazing. Will come back again soon read more

Parking is a Challenge here but worth the Struggle. Food is fresh & Tasty. They have several Budget friendly items. Also a Variety of Aguas frescas. The staff all work together which makes all run smoothly. Bring CASH because they don't take Cards Enjoy read more

I have been coming to las brisas for a great time now. Upon the looks of it it does not appear to be a place that is a hot commodity. However, this is a classic example of not judging a book by its cover. Ambiance: fast food place, surrounded by a Latino community, filled on the weekends Parking: there is parking available in the plaza that it is available in. One may have trouble parking on weekends as they are busier dates. Food: I always get the shrimp tacos, even though they come as one taco, the tacos come with two tortillas, so one may split the contents of the taco between the tortillas. This is how you eat them easier... a tip. Shrimp cocktail is the way to go, i do not frequent shrimp cocktails too often for fear that they will not be of my standards but this place fills them. I enjoy the cocktail a day after... FYI. Shrimp cocktails taste best the next day. Service: not a place that I like to judge service hook since it is a quick, there are no servers. Neutral for the service. All in all, 4/5 for the shrimp tacos and cocktails. The food is what I go for in this hole in the wall, as what anyone should look forward to. read more

You know when a Mexican place in Boyle Heights is slammed, that it's a legit joint. This place is definitely legit if you're looking for a Mexican-style shrimp or white fish fix. You also know it's legit when the place is slammed with locals only. What I like: -fried shrimp taco ($2.79): this thing is massive, double corn tortilla, non-greasy battered and fried shrimp, shredded crunchy cabbage, Mexican sour cream, red salsa. This thing is very filling, bigger than an average taco. -combo fried shrimp/fish plate ($8.35) also very filling, a bunch of fried shrimp and battered fried white fish on top of a bed of warm and salty skinny French fries. What a bargain. -shrimp cocktail (8.50): Holy moly, this thing is HUGE. Las Brisas does not skimp you out on the amount of shrimp and avocado they throw in this thing. You're also service with saltine crackers to dip in the sauce. -aguas frescas/jugos ($2): You have a selection of horchata, hibiscus, pineapple and a seasonal juice. So refreshing, especially in the summer. Overall, this place is truly a Boyle Heights/East LA hidden gem if you're looking for fresh Mexican/Baja-style fish and shrimp (fried or grilled). Tip 1: cash only, but there's an ATM inside Tip 2: be prepared to order in Spanish, or at least Spanglish - read more

Amazing fish/shrimp tacos!!!!!!! Best salsa to complement the seafood. Great aqua Fresca!!!

They serve up some mighty great great shrimp and fish tacos in this place! They are also huge! Like I never used a fork to eat a taco ever and I had to in order to break them bad boys down- otherwise I couldn't take a bite at all! Now unless you're super hungry it's safe to just order one and a extra tortilla then divide the taco into three. The Ceviche is pretty decent too, I always order mine with avocado. I'd highly recommend Los Brisas if you're in the Boyle Heights area craving tacos! read more

the kiwi lemonade drink was really good the fried shrimp tacos were fine, but came with way too much lettuce for my taste I enjoyed the ceviche tostadas it was busy on a recent Saturday afternoon, so our order took 25 minutes to get ready no paper menus, which was surprising, only the menu high above the cash register, which I found a bit difficult to read doubt I'll ever be back there, but it was fine for the day six tacos, two tostadas, and two large juices were $36 read more

Good good I strongly recommend the mariscos soup.. x also the pescado empanisado...small place but its so good

Las Brisas appears to be a well noted destination for fast food mariscos based upon the medium to high volume of patrons (edit: fish or shrimp tacos & cocteles) yet has not garnered many yelp reviews. Regardless of how busy Las Brisas may be, I have my reservations. I deduce that Las Brisas clientele frequency is due mostly in part to the trifecta: 1) Inexpensive 2) Generous serving size 3) Conveniently located for hospital employees and employees of surrounding businesses A steady flow of lunch patrons filed in during my visit consisting of a mixed crowd of healthcare professionals, families young and old. This review may do little justice to this business as evidence that cocteles is seemingly the most popular item with patrons. Expect service to be friendly yet slow. Spanish is the preferred spoken language but English is well understood. Las Brisas appears to be a three person operation with a cashier and two in the kitchen. Considering their slow operation, you should have no issues if you work nearby and have a 30 minute lunch. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wfoGWgIFFTJdTShWSPfNFQ?select=BEL1IFuQ9DV39_2BOKvJBw#LdnZgFxVVJ3YZqUfozgA4g http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wfoGWgIFFTJdTShWSPfNFQ?select=BEL1IFuQ9DV39_2BOKvJBw#OqEA_zHC4E7gX3RVQ9j1eA For under $8.00 after tax, I was able to purchase two tacos (one shrimp, the other fish) and two fish ceviche tostadas. These tacos were massive and cannot be picked up, requiring a fork. Freshly sealed bottles of Tapatio were widely available. Taco de Pescado ($2.50): 2.25/5 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wfoGWgIFFTJdTShWSPfNFQ?select=BEL1IFuQ9DV39_2BOKvJBw#VIldd9qRfd2bWzTXNUFalg Las Brisas' generous portion did not translate to a great fish taco. Their battered fish was highly reminiscent of Van de Kamp's frozen seafood offerings in texture and flavor, yet the taco's flavor was consumed by the abuse of crema. After eating half of the ingredients with a fork, I was finally capable of picking up the taco, however, the corn tortillas supporting it were soggy bordering upon disintegration. Nota very enjoyable experience. Taco de Camaron ($2.65): 2.25/5 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wfoGWgIFFTJdTShWSPfNFQ?select=BEL1IFuQ9DV39_2BOKvJBw#4EkkmE_PGsnOrHsg2z5_tg http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wfoGWgIFFTJdTShWSPfNFQ?select=BEL1IFuQ9DV39_2BOKvJBw#-eo4YNnqnU6LKbMHJND3Fw This taco was very similar to its fish counterpart in every fashion yet each pece of shrimp was too, too firm! I'm not much of a fan of overlooked shrimp. Tostada de Ceviche de Pescado ($1.00): 2.75/5 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wfoGWgIFFTJdTShWSPfNFQ?select=BEL1IFuQ9DV39_2BOKvJBw#4hBL0U5QUsIr-http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wfoGWgIFFTJdTShWSPfNFQ?select=BEL1IFuQ9DV39_2BOKvJBw#5tEnXT7JtvIF3_sK87O8TAL2vDCcWgg At $1.00 each, this was certainly a bargain...and certainly not the best ceviche I've had. I ordered two tostadas, one stacked on top of the other, yet both shells were soggy due to the great amount of lime juice. Furthermore, the actual fish was completely tasteless. However popular Las Brisas may be with locals, it is a far fetched idea that I would be returning anytime soon. There is a myriad of choices for Mexican cuisine in East Los Angeles, no hard feelings...you understand. read more
