La Braza Pollos Azados

Oh my !! I didn't know what to expect from the curbside appearance. But the interior gives a typical taqueria feel. What I believe to be the manager or owner recommended a half or whole chicken with rice, charro beans, grilled onions and corn tortillas. He said everything else would have to be cooked fresh. I understood that to mean that the chicken was precook and may be a town favorite. I accepted his recommendation of the whole chicken. I was very pleased with the charcoal grilled flavor. The rice was moist and the beans were seasoned. It was enough to feed two adults and a child.

I stop here regularly for takeout (para llevar). The chicken is out of this world good. I've tried this style of chicken at many places throughout East Texas and their's is one of the two best, IMO, and beats the chains hands down. They also have a mixed meat platter (short ribs, fajita, sausage), called Medio Mixto, which is just as awesome as the chicken. I've seen this dish at only one other place (in Houston) and La Braza is the best. On top of that, their pupusa's are also the best. The BEST!!! Before having La Braza's pupusa's, I really didn't know how good a pupusa could be. They really don't do much else (except beans and rice, which are awesome) but they don't really need to. Highly recommended!!!

Stayed on travels and ate here. Was genuine and good eating! And not a chain thank goodness!

Just met the owner, very nice and seemed like a good guy. Beans, some of the best I’ve had. Chicken was wonderful. Tender and flavorful. I will be back.

Love the flavor of the chicken. For just picking up the food and go location is ok, but to bring in guest in it will need a little more work. Overall the food was good and the attendant was very nice, polite and friendly
