My husband and I went to Los bravos recently and while I don't normally write reviews, I felt the need to write about this place. Â First of all, it is not even close to Mexican food. Â I think taco bell is more authentic. Â The Mexican waitress couldn't tell me the difference between an enchilada and a burrito. Â She looked at me as though I asked her the million dollar question. Â I ordered the chicken quesadilla, it came out as one whole piece and without any sauces - no pico de gallo, salsa or sour cream. When I asked for it, I was again looked at as though I had ten heads. Â We were then charged $ for each. Â The cheese was American. Â I felt like I was eating a grilled cheese that I make at home. Â My husbands' dish was also less than desirable, he ordered a chimichanga and it was pan fried vs deep fried and was only half eaten. Â We left and will unfortunately never return.
Review Source:They were EXTREMELY rude to us before they messed up both of our orders then they never even came back to refill our drinks. Â They never brought our check to pay so I went to the counter and the manager never even spoke to me (He was on the phone speaking Spanish to what I presume was one of his buddies) then the waiter finally brought our check and he didn't say one word either. Â I paid in cash and left. Â NEVER use a credit card there because both my dad and best friends had their credit card info (Heritage Federal Credit Union) used in Mexico and both my dad and best friend were still I'm possession of their credit cards! There was an article in the Courier and Press just days later about many people having their credit info stolen at a local restaurant just days later! Avoid Los Bravos and if you do go, pleas pay cash!
Review Source:I will NEVER go back to Los Bravos again. I've lived in some of the rudest cities in this country, but I've never been treated so ugly by staff as I was my last visit to this restaurant. I ordered a chalupa that came out soggy and cold. After 3 different attempts to explain to our server (who could barely speak English), that the tostada shell should be crispy I had the manager come over only for him to explain that their chalupas are always soggy. I explained to him that we frequent this restaurant at least once a week and have had crispy chalupas before. He continued to argue with me and tell me how wrong I was. To make a long story short, we ended up walking out with aforementioned manager in tow yelling, yes yelling, at us in the parking lot how wrong we were about their food. If he had made 2 more steps toward our car, I would have called the police. He was THAT aggressive.
Review Source:A year ago I informed my family that not another dollar of mine would be spent here and I am happy that I can say that I have kept my word. Â We were going here an average of two times a week. Â
When my daughter had called in an order and picked it up, took it all the way home, (approximately 15 min drive, one-way), and they had shorted the order, I offered to go by there my way home to pick up the missing items. Â When I got there they didn't have it ready, so I ordered the taco and one other item (total was less than ten dollars, but total order was about sixty), they wanted me to show them the receipt so I explained that they weren't going to drive all the way back into town. Â Finally, I just told them I would pay for it if they would just get it ready. Â There was an older man at the cash register and he kept talking Mexican to all the servers and then they were all stopping and looking at me to the point that it was obvious that he was talking about me. Â So, I just told him to keep the food and the money and walked out, never to pass through their doors again! Â They were VERY rude! Â Thank goodness we have two awesome alternatives for Mexican food in Newburgh! Â Just had some tonight! Â Yummy! Â ;)
I love Los Bravos.  It's great for dining in or carry-out.  The queso is fantastic.  Its smooth, spicy, and just amazing.  The salsa changes daily. Sometimes it's sweet, and sometimes it's really spicy...always good, but unpredictable.  I love #26 Chicken Chimichanga  (all rice no beans) or #53 Fajita Quesadilla with Chicken,I'm also a fan of "chicken nachos" and "chicken quesadilla" which which are ala carte items.  If you opt for water, you will easily get out for under $10, but they have pretty good Mountain Dew (no Taco Bell Mountain Dew, but still good none the less).
Review Source:The food is very average-there are definitely better "authentic" mexican restaurants in town. Â The service is okay, but if they make a mistake with your order you may be waiting 10 min. or more before the server returns to your table. Â The main problem I have with this location is the noise level. Â There are always tons of screaming kids here, and the sound echoes throughout the restaurant, and is almost unbearable.
Review Source:This is a very popular place in Evansville, but the food is just average. Â Having lived in San Diego for 15 yrs I'm a bit more discriminating with my Mexican food than the average Midwesterner. I think the draw of this place is the festive atmosphere and it is very affordable. Â Without liquor, you can easily get by on $10 here.
Their Salsa is great, but the guacamole not so much. Â The burrito I ordered was small and average....I tasted a chimichanga and it wasn't too bad.
If you are just looking to get together with friends for a quick dinner and have a few beers inexpensively, this is a good place to go.
We love this place! It's our place to go for dinner every Friday night. My mother in law is from Mexico and the food here is as close to her cooking as we've ever had. My husband loves everything here, but especially the spanish rice. I have to say the chimichangas, chile poblanos, and the chicken or steak tacos are the best around. Ohhhhh and the margarita's! Mmmmm best I have ever had ANYWHERE!
The staff are always fast and friendly! Not bad on the pricing either!
After a funky smell as I walked in the door (read: stale urine on the side of a building), I think I got my weekly salt intake in about three bites here.  And nacho cheese?  Seriously?  This place wasn't the worst Mexican food I've ever had, but it definitely ranked below mediocre and you won't catch me setting foot in here again since the Mexican I can make at home is sooo much better.  On the up-side, their décor is really cute, so they score an extra star for that.
Review Source:I love this place, and am often here with my friends and family. They are extremely efficient and fast--if I'm in a big hurry, I could even eat there in 20 minutes (though I nearly always take longer--why rush?) I've never had a wrong order. I love their lunch Quesadilla Supreme, and #29 (burrito supreme), and they have positively delicious fajitas! Â But then again, what isn't good? Enchiladas especially!
I haven't had, but have heard their margaritas are by far the best in town.
