Not a huge restaurant, when it gets busy it feels pretty crowded. But, the food is generally pretty good. Moving to Amarillo from Tallahassee, I find that I miss Mole enchiladas. El Bracero is one of the only places I have found that has them. Although I'm happy to have found it, it's not the most flavorful Mole I've ever... More

The ranking is justified, great food, warm prompt service, at a good price. A real surprise after a long day's drive

The only thing missing is the Margaritas. The food is spot on. Ordered the smothered burrito and now I can't breathe. They only serve wine and beer so if you don't mind the lack of tequila stop by. So. Freaking. Good.

Along the drive from Philadelphia to Arizona we found ourselves in Amarillo for the night. We chose El Bracero because of the other reviews -- even though it meant a bit of a drive away from where we were staying. Good choice on our part. The food is really wonderful -- especially the lamb chops. My husband really enjoyed his... More

This place seems to always be busy. What does that tell you? The food is good, the portions are big. You wont be disappointed with El Bracero

Ate here on Saturday, 26 January 2013. This place is small and unexciting from the outside, but it's rather charming on the inside. Only holds about 50 people, but service is quick, attentive and very friendly with smiles for all and, additionally, prices are very reasonable. The food was both tasty and plentiful. I can recommend both the Chile Relleno... More

The Smother Burrito is the bomb, and they have some of the best flavors in Mexican Cuisine. The customer service is outstanding, and the atmosphere, is great. They have one of the best all natural homemade hot sauces around town. You will become a regular after your first visit. The fajitas are out of this world.

Ordered the grilled, garlic camarones .... They were some of the best I've ever had! The atmosphere is fine - they've made the most of a converted fast food place. Staff was friendly, though not exceptionally demonstrative. Others had mentioned eating ceviche there, which I wasn't brave enough to do this far from the coast - but went with the... More
