About Braceros Mexican Grill & Bar

Nestled along SW 6th Avenue in Amarillo, this Mexican grill and bar offers a casual, cozy spot where local flavor feels genuine and familiar. The menu leans into comforting classics like fajitas—available with your choice of corn or flour tortillas and meats from adobada to shrimp—and enchiladas served a la carte in generous portions. Small plates and appetizers like nachos paired with guacamole and queso provide easy ways to share, while the dessert and coffee options give a nice finishing touch.

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, drawing a mix of college students, locals, and visitors who appreciate straightforward, authentic Mexican dishes and a good drink. There’s often a buzz from live music that adds character without overpowering conversation. The bar stands out with a solid selection of beers, cocktails, and happy hour offerings, making it a fitting stop for everything from a quick bite or solo meal to group dinners and late-night cravings.

People who enjoy places with a bit of an old-school feel—where friendly service is part of the experience and the salsa comes with chips and a small pitcher to share—tend to find this spot suits them well. Whether you're grabbing lunch, hanging out for dinner, or catching live tunes, it strikes a balance between casual comfort and a lively bar scene. With accessibility features and dog-friendly outdoor seating, it feels thoughtfully set up for a range of visitors passing through or looking for a dependable local place to settle in.

Great food, very authentic, salsa is really good and the beer is cold!! We had a chicken quesadilla and a taco plate. Both were really good!! We will definitely visit again when we’re in Amarillo.

Interesting old place that makes you feel it's been around forever. The first thing they brought was chips and a pitcher (yes, a small pitcher!!) of salsa! The drinks were good as was the food. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. We're happy we came!

I absolutely loved this place! A friend that lives in the area recommends this restaurant, and I'm glad they did. I grew up in Texas, so I know good Mexican food. This place reminds me of a restaurant growing up that is no longer in business in the valley. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The people in this town are awesome too. I met several teachers in the area there for dinner. I had a great time and will be back if I pass through again. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Go try for yourself! If anyone knows the teacher to my left in the picture tell her I think she is cute.
