My spouse picked up the food and we ordered extra for leftovers. The Chicharrones are tasty with the skin extra extra crispy and the meat chunks were tasty with some smaller chunks drier but overall would order them again. The guacamole super good in general and goes well with the chicharrones. We ordered tamales which we are saving for tomorrow. The choripollo and chile relleno were good. Lots of other items to try that look delish.

Pros: Tasty, authentic food, Price Cons: Service…read more Summary: The food is great but please read the detailed review all the way to the end. Details: This is a really tough one. I ate here last week and the food was amazing as always. It's the third time that I've been here in the last year and this place has completely transformed for the better. Most of what is now the restaurant used to be part of the grocery store. Now they have booths and it has decent restaurant style seating. The location is great - strip mall on centerpoint road. The restaurant/grocery store isn't the cleanest but it's decent. Most of the items on the menu are really cheap. I have to agree with everyone else when they say that this place is authentic. So far, I have tried their tortas, burritos and enchiladas and I've loved it every single time. In order to keep costs low, I've seen that they're foregone the chips and salsa which used to be part of the meal in the early days. If it was up to the food alone, I'd give this place 5 stars. For instance, last week I had their cheese smothered enchiladas with beef which was still really crispy when I cut into them. The service was fair and although it took them 15 minutes to serve us initially, the food was out in 15 minutes after we put in the order. All that being said, there is something else that I need to mention on here too. At lunch last week my friend had the chilaquiles and he came down with a bad case of food poisoning - listeria. It is possible that the food here and nothing to do with it, but I'd feel very responsible if I didn't even mention it on here. Now, I was completely fine after eating the beef enchiladas, and both times before then. It is possible that he contracted it from something else that he ate/drank that week, but this was one of the foods he ate outside of his normal diet. When I asked him if he enjoyed the food and if he'd come back, it was a yes!

BACK & BETTER THAN EVER!!…read more After moving a few doors down and across the street, we were SO HAPPY to hear that our favorite place this side of Cedar Rapids was open again!! The food was amazing as ever tonight, and the staff was busier than ever. Everyone is treated like family at Las Brasas. Steak Feliz for me, Chimichanga for my wife, and queso with the house salsa to share. Check the video -- the flavor was even better! We had to drive full around the block to find parking, they were so popular, yet staff was on top of our needs, friendly as ever, and they were moving customers like clockwork. The new place is more intimate and with better seats and decor than the old. Back and better than ever!!

It feels both old and yet familiar to me. Even the restroom was clean & tidy. With a price as yummy as their treats I feel I'm likely to return often.

Not only did they have the "flavor of the day" (yellow cake batter OMG!), but they had numerous flavors of frozen pints to take home. Root Beer and Blackberry won me over that day but Raspberry and Boysenberry were calling my name as well (next time!). I would definitely come back here again. The lady helping us at the counter was so friendly, and the location has lots of seating and parking spots. Cash or Check only!
