I went to the dentist today and had oral surgery so I needed some "soft" food. After running an errand at Lowes, I spotted this place in the same neighborhood on a map app so my sister and I ate lunch here about 12:30 and found no crowd. Our overall service was great with prompt seating, drinks and food service that included timely bill settling at the end.I ordered the Dinner "Pick Three Choices" deal and chose Rice & Beans, a Ground Beef Enchilada, and a Ground Beef Soft Taco. I was worried about bitting the inside of my mouth while still numb so I emptied the contents of the enchilada and taco and mixed them with the rice and beans so I didn't have to chew that much. It was great eating it that way. I finished the entire plate. I had to pass on the chips and salsa but my sister liked them very much.She ordered the Ground Beef Chimichanga. She got rice and beans too. She said her meal was great as well. She said and I quote, "it was excellent." We're both ready to return again for lunch anytime.We were able to find a parking place directly in front of the restaurant. There was ample parking available. The restrooms were clean and stocked.

If you've read my reviews before you know how much I love Mexican food. In Bloomington we tend to be creatures of habit who eat at El Ranchero South and Juannitas - close to home and just what we are used to. Deciding to shake things up and being on the west side of town led us to Casa Brava. We hadn't been in years and we enjoyed our experience!Service was quick and on point. It wasn't too crowded for a Friday night but still busy. No wait. Perfect! When it's too empty i start to get worried but I also hate waiting for a table.Chips and salsa were good - nothing special but good. We had the bean dip with queso which was a tad bit soupy but great flavor.Wife ordered tamales and the tiny bite she allowed me to sample was good. She said they were great and given I wasn't allowed much she must be telling the truth. I ordered arroz con pollo and it was fantastic. Chose flour tortillas and received only three so added a side order or corn tortillas to sample and add. Both were fresh and good.A great experience and we will return!

We've been back several times since the waning days of the pandemic, and tonight is a good example. The food here isn't as manufactured as other Mexican-American restaurants in Bloomington. It has good flavors and preparation.Service isn't amazingly fast, and the decor isn't dazzling. It's a neighborhood popular restaurant where two can dine well without liquor for under $30 for both, including tip. The varieties are good, and some of the dishes are predictable and good. There are no competing noise sources to distract you. We like it because it's good every time, and isn't the product of a half-dozen microwave ovens. It's reliable, tasty, cost-effective, and has a decent variety. Most dishes arrive not very spicy, so if you'd like it hot, just ask. We like Casa Brava and La Cherreada above the others in the greater Bloomington area. In Morgantown, Los Dos Abuelos is realllllly good.p.s. There are a good number of meatless dishes and vegetarian combos. I can't vouch for the liquor.

My spouse and I attempt to try out different restaurants throughout Southern Indiana. i have seen the sign for this restaurant and decided to try it out. The strip mall for this restaurant is way back behind the crew car wash. They add almost 3 percent to the bill if you use credit cards. These are the negatives. As you wend your way back to the restaurant you will discover a cozy little Mexican restaurant. My spouse and i ordered different types of taco Salad. My spouse's taco salad was the typical ground beef variety. i wanted something different from your average chicken taco salad. So I ordered the chicken fajita taco salad. As I tasted it I experienced chicken fajitas in taco salad bowl. in both cases the taco salad bowl itself was delightful. Well worth the adventure to discover this restaurant.

This was near our hotel when we were looking for places to get dinner. The prices were a little higher than portrayed online when we ordered takeout for pick up. However, there is a generous amount of food provided, so I guess it evens out. The food was very good!

Decided to step out of my comfort zone today , hahaha Knowing my friends at my local Mexican food spot would be frowning at me . It was just like I remember over 15 years ago . Very clean and the staff was great ! Very kind ,quick and accommodating. Now to the food ...... it was pretty good ! Great chips and salsa , and nice portions I got the pick 3 witch was cool because they had plenty to choose from . But even though I will stay true to my local spot !!! Haha I would eat here again

I thought this was the worst Mexican food I have had in town. The server/service I had was bad also. This was a one and done for me.

Terrible lunch today. No spice , no taste, very bland Mexican food. If I could give a negative star I would. Usually pretty good, the person cooking today should never do it again.!! Clearly no worth the money today. Waiter was excellent.Table was clean.Chimichanga lunch
