A little hard to find in the dark on a busy street, sign not lighted. Small, home-style place with good food and fair prices.
Tried telling me that the certificate could not be used on the weekend even though it doesn’t state that on certificate. Ultimately the did accept it.

Great food and service. Friendly staff. Will.come back.
Food was completely bland. Taco consisted of a tortilla and meat. Nothing else. Fajitas cooked well, but no taste. Tiny dab of sour cream and pico. No Guac. Quesadilla was dry meat and cheese. No sauce. Tasteless. Service was ok, but that's it. There's no chance that I would return. I'm confused by all the good reviews....

fresh home made food, served by friendly and attentive staff. great casual place!
Food very good and original, friendly and prompt service, restaurant very clean and attractive.
Everything comes out fresh from the kitchen including the guacamole! Corn chips were delicious, corn tortillas homemade, very flexible with special dietary requests! I love the food AND friendly staff!
The wait staff was friendly and efficient. The meal was awesome!
Very bad food restaurant empty no one till we were 2 hours please never suggest any one
margarita was terrible,green sauce for enchilada was overly salted and we sent it back. salad was wet and dressing was terrible. we will not be going back..
I absolutely loved the food and the server at this restaurant. I consider myself pretty snobby when it comes to food and there was nothing got all negative or uncomfortable for me. They were very accommodating friendly and the food was excellent I had the mole a chicken, it was wonderful in flavor and very tender in texture. I can't wait to go back!
My friend would probably rate a 5, I give a 4 because I like just plain flour tortillas. These seem to corn based.
Food was excellent and prices were very reasonable. Waitress was great
We had the chicken fajitas. Chicken a little dry. No tomatoes or salsa or avocado. Delicious corn tortillas!! Need more shredded lettuce and one more tortilla
THE FOOD IS VERY GOOD AND THE QUANTITY YOU GET IS UNBELEIVABLE.
Great authentic food. I liked the music and video
Excellent conversation with the owner/chef.
La Brisa is not a fancy place, more like a neighborhood restaurant. Our server was efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious! They started us with complimentary salsa and chips but also added a deliciously mildly spicy sour cream dip we have never had. My wife loved the house specialty carnitas as I did the fajitas de mar (shrimp fajitas). And by the way, the tortillas are homemade. It's just another touch that sets this Mexican restaurant above others. We loved it!
Great food and service!!Shrimp tacos were amazing and the carnita plate was too much for one person!!
Need MORE pico de gallo!!
We all enjoyed the dinner very much. The food was very good and the server efficient and friendly.
One of the better restaurants in Sarasota.
Food was not good. They took two hours to bring us the dessert 2 children in our party ordered. Very unhappy. I mentioned it twice to the server and he just kept saying it was coming.
We enjoy talking with the owner and seeing her baby.
The burrito I had wasn't as good as previous ones. The tacos my wife got were up to par. The munchy chips and dips were good. The waitress service was good, but not professional. Two of us changed seats before the order arrived and she got the dishes mixed.
Friendly.
The staff was very friendly, Mama was in the kitchen, all of the ingredients were fresh, and the meals very tasty. It's not a 4 hour type place, but it was a relaxed, tasty, friendly meal. We were very pleasantly surprised by this small, family friendly joint. We'll return.
Charged us $2.50 for extra chips, but didn't tell us they were going to do that.
This a very friendly and open restaurant.
Service was good considering a new waitress. The chef came out and greeted us. The food was good.
Great authentic items from the chips and interesting "dips" to the "house specialties" entrees and tortillas. Amazing house-made corn tortillas. Friendly and accommodating service. Simple environment and décor, terrific food.
Everyone else in the restaurant was Spanish speaking. We were definitely the minority. The food and drinks were very good.
a hidden gem. a little hard to find at night due to lack of lighting. Inside was welcoming and filled with good smells. Here you will find excellent and authentic home style cooking. Tacos were perfect -hot, soft corn tortillas stuffed with perfectly cooked morsels of pork, chicken, beef, fish or shrimp. Refried beans were hearty, rice light snd flavorful. Friday nights feature karaoke for all ages. Cant wait to try it again.
I would suggest a better sign out front ;it's hard to see from the street! It was also so brightly lit inside (fluorescent light) which was not what I was hoping for but the food and owners were GREAT!
people so nice, atmosphere great and food authentic..family owned and cooked by Mama..
The food was very good. Ambiance was so-so, service was a little slow considering we were the only ones there for a while.Will give it another try.
Our lunch was very enjoyable. While not fine dining the food was very good, served hot which is important to us and our server did an excellant job.
It is not a fancy place with ambiance but the food is excellent!
very nice staff. good selection of beers. rather sterile ambiance. nice sized shrimp in the fajitas. ceviche was a little bland. food was average overall
Good food...the chips they give you before the meal are home-made...and the best I've ever had at any Mexican restaurant
This is a small, no frills place serving delicious authentic Mexican food. Our server, Imenda, was the best--friendly, attentive, efficient. Loved the hot, crisp chips and three different dips served as soon as we were seated. The margaritas were very good-- none of that artificial sweet and sour mix. My husband enjoyed his Chicken Ranchero, and my tasty tacos--one carnitas, one asada, and one camerones-were served on homemade corn tortillas. This was a great find.
