Yes, there’s a giant neon sign out front, and their website features a bouncing cartoon frog. But La Brisa isn’t just another highway Tex Mex joint. The huge, beautifully tiled interior contains a more authentic experience, with out-of-this world enchiladas that can convince the toughest crowd of all. The combination platters, like Los Compadres (hand-breaded jalapenos stuffed with cheese and jumbo shrimp, topped in creamy cilantro sauce along with chicken/beef fajitas) are enormous, cheap, and lovingly spiced. This chef takes pride in his craft; there’s not a hint of grease anywhere. The atmosphere is buzzing but never too loud, and during football season you can kick back with cervezas and watch the game on the patio. Service is good-natured and quick, and the size of the restaurant means there’s almost never a wait.
