    • Q:

      Is this location owned by the same folks as the Las Brisas Mexican Cuisine in San Marcos?

      A:

      We were the original owners of Las Brisas Mexican Cuisine in San Marcos until we sold it to the current owners of the San Marcos location a few years back. Both locations have the same name but are under different management.

      This Family operated restaurant without a doubt has the best burritos. The lady working the counter is very sweet and was very accommodating of our needs. I spilled a cup and she was really cool about it. Extremely clean inside.

      This is a good spot to get Mexican in Ocean Hills. It's conveniently located with a huge parking lot.

      Super nice people who greet you and serve you promptly. Servers were very friendly and helpful. The wall menu board is small and lengthy so you'll have to take your time looking at all over.

      The restaurant looks pretty clean, but is dated. There's a lot of seating inside and even some outside. You have to go up and order at the counter and then you can take it to go or sit down.

      The portions are very large. I ordered a Pollo Asado burrito and it was definitely more than enough for two meals. My friend got the enchiladas, which also looked great. Another had the tostada salad, which looked delicious.

      To go boxes/containers were pretty weak and unfortunately buckled under the weight of the food above it. Still tasted good but it was smashed. Didn't help to have my giant burrito on the very top. They have great salsa and will give you as much as you want.

      I thought it was good and I would recommend this restaurant.

      We've been here a few times and every time the food is very good and the portion sizes are great.

      The operator was very friendly and patient while we were figuring out what we wanted to order. My wife cannot have dairy and I mentioned it several times when orders. Guess what, there was no dairy on any food, not even cojita on the beans. Sour cream was served on the side. Awesome.

      We waited around for about 10 minutes and took our meals home to eat. Take a look at the pictures because it was all very good and looked good too.

      This is a family owned/operated business so do us all a favor and give them a try. You won't be disappointed.

      They have a wide range of food on their menu and it's very good. The only way you're gonna know is if you try it and I recommend that you try it you just may like it.

      The food here is really good. The quesadilla is massive and the rolled tacos with guacamole hit the spot. I would definitely recommend this place.

      Ordené la Mariscada. Una porquería.

      Los ostiones? Tibios. 2 me salieron pudridos. Los otros cuatro, súper amargos con consistencia de gelatina. Ostiones se sirven encima de hielo - ni fríos estaban. Los camarones y pulpo estaban ahogados en salsa de cocktail, sabían a pura salsa dulce. El ceviche fue lo único ordinario. El servicio? Remalo. No saludan, no te preguntan cómo está la comida - tuve que pedir limones 3 veces antes que me los dieran. Es el colmo.

      Ordered the Mariscada. Disgusting.

      The oysters? Served luke warm. 2 tasted like they'd definitely gone bad, the other 4 were borderline bad. Very bitter and had a gelatinous consistency - the sign of an oyster that hasn't been cold for a while. Not served on ice btw. The shrimp and octopus mix was drowned in cocktail sauce. It's all you could really taste. The ceviche was the only thing on the plate that wasn't bad. As far as the service goes, no greeting, no checking up on you (not even once), and I had to ask three times before I got limes.

      If your looking for fresh Mexican, you this is not it.

      Looking for some delicious and bountiful Mexican food that doesn't sacrifice quality over quantity? Las Brisas is your answer! Everytime I've ordered from here I get pleasantly surprised on just how much food they provide and just how tasty everything is. And I tell myself that I shouldn't ever eat that much in one sitting but my tastebuds and appetite team up and say otherwise.

      The main draw for me is their Carnitas Plate. There's a heaping of mouth-watering carnitas on this enormous plate with some cheesy refried beans, guac, pico de gallo and rice to complement it. I bounce between stuffing my face with the combination of items on the plate or making them into tacos with the soft corn tortillas provided (or flour if you so choose). The slightly savory carnitas have some crisp areas and some tender, juicy chunks as well.

      I've also tried a "Surf & Turf" cali burrito by adding shrimp to their California Burrito. Talk about being in a pure gluttinous oasis. Not only will the abundance of flavors shock you but so will the sheer size of that behemoth. My photos does not do it justice! Lastly, their carne asada fries and nachos are also divine choices :)

      As for the staff, they are very friendly, patient and at times, provide some good conversations/laughs. This place is in a relatively small plaza but there never has been a time when I had trouble finding parking.

      $15 for a Cali burrito (carne asada, fries, guac, sour cream, and cheese) and agree that it's huge but IMO, to it's disadvantage. It's so big that you have to choose which 2 ingredients you'll get for each bite and doesn't allow for all the flavors to meld together. Never had a burrito from a taco shop have the bottom bust out on me like today! Flavor wise, it wasn't bad but nor was it wowing me at all. I would much rather had paid a few bucks less, finished it off, and had all the ingredients in each bite. If you've ever had a Cali burrito where the fries, sour cream, cheese, and meat seem to just unite with flavor like when those last few bites are so glorious that you don't quit even if you're full, you'll know what I mean. Hot sauce is also pretty mediocre, thin, and no salsa bar so I assumed it was the only choice.
      I have a feeling this a place I'd choose an entree like a fajita plate over the burritos. Service, ambiance, cleanliness, etc, was basically what you'd expect from a moms and pop's Mexican shop.

      Walk in, place order at cashier, pay, take your tray with complimentary chips and find your table, in or outdoor seating.

      Ask for HOT salsa if ya like it hot. Their regular salsa had a kick to it and had green tasty items mixed in.

      Felt like I was at an Aunty & Uncle's house with Aunty in the front and Uncle was the chef.

      I ordered the butter tequila shrimp that came with an avocado lettuce salad and buttered rice with green specks of yum. I counted 15 pieces of shrimp.

      I must mention caldo del Rez half size was a huge serving of a rich beef broth, not the thin clear stuff! The pure meat chunks were gumming soft with NO marbly/stringy stuff. Pal proclaimed it the best, deep flavored beef soup he's ever had!
