So this is Tex-Mex and/or some Jalisco Mexican, sort of, made for the farmers and ranchers that live around Brady. That said, it's good, and there's plenty of it. Of the mexican/tex-mex options in Brady, this is probably my favorite. It's one of the few places I'll order the shrimp because they're big and fresh, a great value after a long day - especially in the winter. No place has great queso or salsa - I'd love to find a place with really good pico (vs. salsa), so it's all pretty much the same... but their entrees really shine here and are fresh-crafted in the kitchen. Welcoming, open, lots of parking, and lots of locals. That's always a good sign! read more

Mi Familia - Chips, queso and salsa. - Mexican Near Me - Brady, Texas

See all

Used to come here frequently about 12 years ago, was driving through town when I saw it and had to pull over for nostalgia purposes. They only allow 8 people maximum to be seated, so if you have a big group you'll need to go elsewhere. Ordered to go, but the restaurant was clean and it's comfortable inside! Their food tastes the same as it did years ago, so they are indeed consistent! I ordered chips & queso and an enchilada dinner. Chips were a bit tough and their queso is more so creamy with a good bit of flavor. I'd say the queso flavor resembles chili powder. Their enchiladas are on the smaller side, rice was a bit dry, but I enjoyed their beans! I'd say this is a decent meal if you're craving Mexican food, but it also somewhat resembled a frozen dinner flavor wise. It was exactly what I was looking for in the moment! read more

Decided to try an eat in place instead of fast food. Pros: -nice inside and decor -appeared clean, but didn't see the restroom -pico is great has cilantro -seasoned chips -steak fajita meat is yummy taste like it's marinated -guacamole was good taste homemade -ground beef in crispy taco was ok -fajitas had a char on them, but in a good way not burnt Cons: -staff was not that friendly and did not smile -water is tap -queso is watery and not pleasant -rice is dry -tortillas aren't homemade The Enchiladas were not the best, but they weren't bad either, wouldn't order again. Overall if I was invited to eat here I would go again, but I wouldn't personally choose to eat here. My rating 5/10 Husbands 7/10 read more

Mi Familia - Combo fajitas & Supreme plate - Mexican Near Me - Brady, Texas

See all

I go have lunch here 1 or 2 times a week. Food is always good and staff on point. Fast service. Good prices on lunch specials. Recommend it

Surprisingly better than most small town Mexican restaurants. Service was just the best it could be. Beer was flawless and icy with a little salt and lime. The Mexican combo plate had a little if everything included. I'm usually a creamy or cheesy enchilada guy, but each of these were just delicious! The hot sauce was something I could not get enough of. Brady TX is the home of several famous Aggies. I'm sure they ate here too. Try it, you won't be disappointed! read more

Passing through Brady with my stomach on E, Mi Familia appeared to be the best that this town had to offer. The restaurant didn't look bad and had a decent layout, with a bar and two seating areas. The cantina/bullfighter/Aztec decor was typical but implied forethought and a good deal of effort to make this restaurant succeed. That I appreciated. What I didn't appreciate was the dirtiness of the place. For one, the place smelled bad as soon as I stepped in the door. I worked as a janitor for several years (yes, seriously), and I know the acrid rotting smell of using an old mop to mop the floors. Combined with the dirty-looking K-Mart tile used on the floor, I about walked out. Then we were seated next to a window seat, that had these huge long-dead moths trapped against the glass, not to mention other bugs and grime. Gross. To top it off, there was what looked like soil collected in the bottom of my water. Needless to say, I didn't walk out because I was starving. Also being a vegetarian in Texas has taught me a lesson in humility. About all I could scrape together sans meat from the menu was three rice tacos. Basically, Spanish rice in three taco shells. The lettuce, tomato, and cheese were lightly sprinkled on top of the tacos, making it look like a literal "taco salad" when served and made filling the tacos with the cheese but not the heated-to-gummy-grossness lettuce nearly impossible. I do have to say that the waitress was very nice. The cashier, however, seemed upset and would not make eye contact with us as we paid, which was even more disturbing, as I think she was the restaurant's manager. read more

Mi Familia - Foyer hanging - Mexican Near Me - Brady, Texas

First time here and was very pleased! Chips and salsa were very tasty! Food came out quick. I was very happy to see the beans weren't from a can everything was freshly made. The guacamole was perfect needed a little more but the taste was phenomenal! We will be back for dinner on our next trip. read more

Friendly fast service -fair prices -but ...salsa was tomato sauce with garlic !not my favorite ..the guacamole was fresh, but way too many onions for my taste -the refried beans were not what I was expecting ,and the rice was pretty dry ..The tortillas were good !..the iced tea was good! read more

Food was horrible and the margaritas taste like shit water. Definitely not coming back here

Really enjoyed a late lunch here. There were 6 of us and we all tried different things and everyone was happy with their meal. We will definitely be back! I had the chicken enchiladas with rice and beans, my husband had the Mexican dinner. I'd recommend either. We also ordered Salsa verde. The chips were fresh and plentiful. The staff was friendly and our waitress kept our glasses refilled. read more

We have been staying in Brady for over a month now and we're very hesitant to try this Mexican restaurant because of the reviews. A buddy of ours tried it out and said it was mediocre and the queso was bad. We finally decided tonight to give it a try. We went around 9pm so there was only one other couple eating. So the service was great. I did receive refills just fine unlike other reviewers. My boyfriend said his beer was better than the bar and grills beer. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce after asking our waitress what the most requested items were. Let me tell you, these enchiladas were damn good. They were 100% better than I was expecting them to be. And if you've ever found a Mexican restaurant that you love and compare it to the rest like I do you know that comparing certain foods may be bias. I've had some of the best sour cream enchilada in Georgetown TX at dos salsas so nothing really beats their food. But I will say that these enchiladas got really close. Best thing is that the sour cream was not curdled like a lot of places have. If you don't know what to order, just get the sour cream enchiladas. You won't be disappointed. Chips and salsa are okay not the best but not the worst. Salsa is a bit tomato'y but still decent to eat. Guacamole is lacking some garlic and salt. Rice and beans are okay read more

Mi Familia - Sour cream enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Brady, Texas

This place is garbage. Margarita was awful. They used canned chicken for my chicken quesadilla. 10/10 DO NOT recommend. Save your money.

I has here on an overnight in Brady last week. My hotel agent recommended Mi Familia, so I gave it try for dinner. It was late, about an hour before closing, and with the exception to the "other server" who checked in on me after being served food/drink and refilled my beverage, the employees here couldn't have been more uninterested in serving me and making me feel welcome. My server, brought my food and the check and I never saw her again. The food is above average, but the total ambiance sucked for a small town restaurant in "the heart of Texas". read more

We eat here all the time. I love the food. There are a couple of great waiters, usually. Tonight the young woman who waited on us never brought chips & salsa...I saw some being taken to another table after their food was delivered...but not us. We got one iced tea, no refills. Until I stood to leave, then she rushed over and asked if we wanted more tea. Really? I missed out on my usual flan. Boo hiss...if you want to impress with your service, don't stand talking in the door of the kitchen instead of checking on paying customers. Wish we'd been seated in the section with the excellent waiter. read more

These must be Yankees or girly men who wrote these reviews. I ate at Mi Familia and found it excellent. Order their Carne Asada. (Fajitas are for ballparks and Taco Cabana). I had the Carne Asada and found it to be excellent. Topped it off with a cold Dos Equis and left fat and happy. read more

Stopped here for lunch on Sunday since our usual bbq place was closed for Memorial Day weekend, glad we did. The food was real good & the service was even better but my favorite thing was the hot sauce, or should I say not hot sauce. Most places have hot sauce that is to hot for this wimp & if it is mild enough for me it just tastes like tomatoes but not here, it is very mild but has a ton of flavor. I did notice on the menu that you can get hot hot sauce for an additional charge but my husband enjoyed this sauce as much as I did so no need to order the hot stuff. read more

Food definitely not authentic. No choices of meats, chicken and ground beef are flavorless. Asked for a large guacamole and they bring me a small ice cream scoop worth. Would never come back. read more

First, this review is not about the quality of the food but more on the location and the service. I went there for dinner, when I got sat down I ordered a beer. It took a few minutes until I was served, but the lady was not my waitress and she didn't stay long enough to take my order. It took what seemed an eternity before my server came to see if i was ready to order (was probably 10+minutes). by that time I had looked through the menu and I was not really impressed or attracted by anything. It was a very boring (and overpriced). I decided to finish my beer and find food somewhere else. read more

After a long day of work/school, what's better than some chips and salsa and a margarita? We stopped in for just that. After already eating dinner and going back to our hotel, we stopped in for some dessert, a drink, and some salsa and guac. The server seemed a little awkward, and kept checking back to make sure our order was correct. The margaritas were pretty good, not the best, but good. The salsa was spicy and the chips had a dusting of spices (chili powder?) which made it extra spicy. The portion of guacamole you get was very small for the price you pay. I don't think we'll be going back. read more

Best in Brady. Solid Tex Mex. Great prices. Quick service.

Most likely the best restaurant in Brady. The service was good and the food was tasty. Cheese enchiladas were 3/5 but the chicken enchiladas were 5/5. The restrooms were clean but had the cheapy toilet paper. read more

Let me tell you Mi Familia is up there with my most favorite Mexican Restaurants!! I played in a golf tournament and I was starving! I was not when I left. The restaurant was clean and the server was pleasant. My party and I showed up at a very slow time (after lunch and before dinner) and there were about 4 other tables busy. The menu is standard food and nothing new or specially made. I ordered the cheese enchilada plate and it came out tasting just like my grandmother would make! The cheese enchiladas had chopped onion inside nice and crisp just like they are supposed to have. The beans were perfection. As we left we noticed the staff was all sitting together eating there dinner and this didn't turn me off a bit! If it's good enough to feed them it's good enough for patrons. The staff really did make us feel like family. read more

Mi Familia - Cheese Enchilada Plate - Mexican Near Me - Brady, Texas

It would be FIVE STARS, but I have to drop them one for the initial impression. "We ain't from around here" as we were on our annual 4th of July road-trip from south of Denver to the Hill Country. Walked in around 8pm on a Thursday. Waited and waited at the hostess stand. It was obvious there was only one waitress and finally after 10 minutes another woman advised us they were short staffed. After 20 minutes we were properly greeted and walked to our table. The waitress was working hard, but took the time to talk with us and immediately made us think it was worth the wait. Modelo in the big glass with salt and lime calmed me down even more. The steak fajitas and steak burritos were excellent. So tender and seasoned perfectly. Everything came out in a timely fashion which we couldn't believe. So I guess they short the front of house, but the kitchen was fully staffed, made it right, and was quick about it. Would definitely recommend this spot. Great! read more

I drive all the way from Blue, Tx just to eat here, the staff, including the owner always comes and checks on us multiple times, even stays and chats most times. The enchiladas and beef fajitas are absolutely delicious!!! Definitely recommend, never had a bad lunch/dinner here EVER!!! Nor poor waiting staff read more

margarita was awesome. we did not have to pay for the chips and salsa. chicken in the fajita was grilled and delicious. my husband enjoyed his enchiladas. All in all very good read more

service isn't good. food isn't good. have to buy chips and salsa. one free refill. would not recommend this place.

This place has the worse food ever! Sauce on enchiladas was hormel chili everything else tasted frozen and was heated in the microwave. Margaritas were not very good either. Waiter was slow and inattentive. Thumbs down! read more

Tried it again after a year. Not good. No spice no friendliness. Not worth the stop. Only the beer was great good.

For many years we passed this place. We finally stopped and it was so good we are going to stop every time. Even the last time we stopped, my son left his iPad and they found it and mailed it back to us in Austin! They are so nice and great food! It's family owned so it adds that extra touch. read more

Your run of the mill Tex Mex joint. I stopped on the way through to San Angelo after passing this restaurant probably 100 times on my trips home from Austin. The feel of Mi Familia is comfortable with it's Mexican art and relaxed service. Fajitas are a good way to test a Mexican restaurants chops and theirs underwhelmed. There was a strange glaze on the meat, the sides were bland and the tortillas were stiff. Also, what reason would you have to add a whole lemon to a fajita plate? Nothing fantastic here but it's a nice quiet place to sit and consume. read more

My litmus test for any Mexican restaurant is how they prepare a typical plate of crispy beef tacos, cheese enchiladas, rice and guacamole salad. I'm happy to report that this family-owned cantina delivered the goods. Washed it down with a cold draft Dos Equis Lager. My taste buds and tummy just wanna say, "Gracias!" read more

First let me say that I know my only posts on Yelp are complaints. I never think to post when things are good. I promise to work on that. Food was ok. Nothing to write home about but not horrible. Waiter should not be a waiter. Had a bad attitude and when spilling tea on the table, wiped it away with a finger. Really, that going to do anything? Did not refill drinks readily. Forgot multiple items requested. Not sure if I will come back next time I'm in town. read more

The food is pretty good and if that wasn't the case no one would eat there. The family that owns and manages the restaurant act as if they are doing you a favor for allowing you to eat there. They are very cheap if you think you have been overcharged (which happens often) you are in for a fight to get your check corrected. One waitress (who is part of the family actually went so far as to say "f___ y_" - leave if you don't like it (said in presence of the Manager) and Manager just shrugged. No concept of friendly customer service. read more

Do not order Crown at this place. The drink was a short shot so when I asked them to fix it they put another short shot in it and charged $13.90 for it!! We assume this is how they pad their profits. Never again! Anne Carter read more

Ate here for the first time today. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The restaurant was clean with a great atmosphere. Food was really good (loved the chips). Waitress was very attentive. Will definitely eat there again! read more

The food is good but the staff is not friendly. They do not speak, other than the basics to get your order. I have been there several times, and they are always this way. They do not like to give refills on drinks or chips and sometimes you even have to ask for the first basket of chips and dip. Like the food, not the staff. read more

After having dinner here many times, I think we're done. The food has always been mediocre, service about the same (no one smiles, no one is happy to see you, no one knows the meaning of customer service or hospitality!) - and then to top it off, when you go to pay your check the cashier is so put out. She even said we were impatient (after waiting for 5 minutes for her to show her face) when she finally appeared from somewhere. Last I knew, you had a restaurant to serve people and create an atmosphere of fun and respite from cooking at home. This is not one of those.... read more

Should have trusted the three star average rating. Went here out of convenience based on location. Food was less than average. Order was wrong and they charged us a substitution fee of $1 to get flour tortillas on the 'kids menu' tacos. Disgrace. read more

What a nice "find" for us! The restaurant was clean and the service was efficient and courteous. We enjoyed the lunch specials and felt like we got a real bargain! Prices were good and the food was tasty and hot. Good chips and hot sauce, too. The locals eat here and it was pretty full by the time we left around 12:30p. Absolutely would stop here again when passing through. read more
