   Delicious!!!!!!!!!! We had a reservation for a party of 10 & they were willing to accommodate us when we called last minute because of traffic & other delays. The staff was stellar. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was perfect! We will be back! Thank You!!!

   The food quality was good, but there weren't a lot of choices on the menu. They didn't have any kind of soda and no sides with your entree. That's extra on top that is on the pricey side $$$. overall 7.5 out of 10

   We were a party of 7, at the restaurant for my son's 40th birthday. I had alerted the staff when I reserved and they definitely kicked it up a notch on the attentiveness scale. We felt quite welcomed. All the guests were entertained and enthused by the delightful blood orange margaritas that came by the pitcher, all the small plates that appeared, the mains were fine (four of us had the pork chop and none were disappointed), and the desserts were quite delicious. The wine list is small but the selections on it are quite nice. Also, they have a parking lot behind the restaurant. All together a pretty sweet package.

   La Brasa is one of our great treasures. The food is consistently outstanding, and so is the service. It's a spacious, comfortable, casual and friendly place to be. Definitely worth coming to East Somerville.

    My wife and I got married at La Brasa in 2019 and always dine here for our anniversary. The staff members are always attentive, helpful, and generous in celebrating our special day. In addition to the stellar service, the food and drink menus never disappoint, and the ambiance is inviting and interesting. Couldn’t recommend La Brasa enough for any occasion- wedding to weekday!

    The drinks and appetizers were excellent. We ordered the oysters and chicken floutas along with margaritas. The meals following were not nearly as good. The quesadilla was unimpressive at a high price point and the roasted chicken was bland. The chuleta was the best entree we had, it was covered in a very good sauce over a tasty puree, however, it was overcooked although the sauce covered much of the dryness. The sides of elote and fried rice were both good and could be shared. Overall this place is just okay. It is charging way too much for the quality of food they are putting out. They also think very highly of themselves, charging $25 a person if you miss your reservation.

    Don't sleep on La Brasa. The food is fantastic and the staff were so lovely. I've been twice, and both times the restaurant wasn't even completely packed, which is so surprising given how amazing this spot is! Perfect place to share a few dishes with friends and drink some great cocktails.

    I think that the food was mostly good but nothing to write home about. The cocktails were not good and they don't have enough digestifs. It's too pricey for the quality of the food. The tortillas and the cochinita pibil tacos were amazing!!! Our waitress was nice but she didn't come often enough to get our order for drinks.

    Music is continuous heavy bass that you can feel in your bones. Very few people around. Drinks are okay, food tastes decent. Portion sizes are all over the place. Waitstaff range from nice and pleasant to apathetic. Only manager seems to know about menu items.

    Delicious food, great service. My sister and I had the bronzino for two that came with a refreshing salad and a variety of sauces and blue corn tortillas made on site (they were so good we got another order). The fish was cooked to perfection. We also ordered the Mexican street corn that was also delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant!

    Service was severely lacking. 20 min to get water. No refill. We’re not checked upon from arrival of food until we were done. Out of drinks half the time. Food was average to above average but tapas portions (not clear on menu and not explained by server).

    First off, amazing food! Artistic touch of Mexican favorites. LOVED the avocado salad, Caesar and beet salads. Only would suggest more black beans in the avocado. Roast chicken was uniquely spicy and tasty. Squash quesadillas somewhat bland but a healthy choice. Steak got excellent reviews as well. Service was slow, probably because it looked like 2 servers for the whole restaurant, including outside. Music was awesome but louder than necessary as it was tough to converse. Still, the amazing food took it over the line. Also, not cheap, but then, few places are these days!

    Waited 45 minutes for the waitress to ask us what we wanted to drink. Then she asked if she could bring out food as it came and we specifically said no. We wanted everyone to be served at the same time, but she didn’t care and brought it out as it was made. So we all had to wait for everyone and so our food got cold. And on top of all, she had a terrible attitude.

    We went there for mothers day and ordered three dishes and each of them came in at a different timing. This resulted in me eating first, then my husband’s dish came in and I was done while my two kids were still waiting on their food, and got theirs last. Very bad timing really make my mothers day lunch unpleasant. Would not recommend this place, food is good although pricey for what it is.

    The ambiance was the best part, close second was the food. Great little tapas experience - my friend and I shared each plate, so it was a great way to try quite a few things! There was a DJ there that night - super fun, but I was glad we sat in the opposite corner of the room. It made for the perfect back drop.

    Very disappointed in the new menu post pandemic. Fewer choices and none of the old great stuff!! Music was beyond way too loud. Yikes. Bartender was outstanding. Attentive without being annoying. Was hoping to sit adjacent to the kitchen as we had done many times previously and those seats were no longer. Won’t recommend
