    Friendly people and fantastic food. Large menu with plenty of options. Generous portions that will leave you feeling satisfied. The chips are crispy to perfection. The food is flavorful and comes out quickly. Service team is highly attentive. Drinks are refilled constantly and they came by a few times to check on things. It's a great lunch and worth repeating. Modern setting with large tables and great lighting gives the interior a nice feel. Prices are fair and it's a great value for the experience.

    Went for lunch and enjoyed a molcajete. I het them a lot but this was my first time here. It was the largest and hottest bowl I've ever been served. The contents were good, and the sauce delicious. My only negative was that the meats were cut up into small strips. I've seen it like that at one restaurant in Colorado, but most display large strips of meat and cactus up the sides of the bowl. Still a great meal. Ambiance...maybe not a romantic or quiet setting...but typical Mexican setting with few frills.

    I visited Casa brava two consecutive days last week. The food was very good. The first time I went with my friend Becca the second time I went with the pastor team from Liberty Baptist Church Sweetster. I enjoyed my meal and will return.

    The food was absolutely delicious. The spice was perfectly balanced and not overbearing. I purposely get a large platter to share with my husband who stayed home. The food was so good I struggled to stop. Waiters were professional and friendly and the atmosphere was cute.

    Walked in to a beautiful open space with spacious seating! Our waitress was on top of everything, got us everything before we could even ask!! The food was incredible, I got a burrito and it was bigger than half of my arm!! The flavor was unmatched, I’ve never had anything like it! They add corn to their black bean mix and it adds the perfect little kick of flavor!! Go visit!!

    Burrito was pretty good but mostly filler (salad + pico). Nice restaurant.
