Brasas Mexican Grill
Mexican · Provo · 2448 N University Pkwy
Brasas is a wood-flame grill that this directory filed under the wrong city until v440, and whose street address is contested enough across listings that our Mexican guide declines to settle it. What follows is what can be said with confidence, and what cannot.
Where it is
In Provo. That is the correction: this directory carried it as Orem, and University Parkway runs toward the Orem line here without crossing it. The street address is the unresolved part — two different phone numbers circulate under this one name, attached to a University Parkway address, a downtown address on 100 South, and a Cougar Boulevard address that one review platform marks closed. Confirm before you drive.
Provo addresses are grid references rather than house numbers in the usual sense: they count outward from the origin at Center Street and University Avenue, one hundred to a block. Our guide to how Utah addresses actually work explains why the same number means a different place in the next city over.
What we know about it
One navigational trap is worth naming on its own, because it accounts for some of the confusion. Cougar Boulevard, Bulldog Boulevard and 1230 North are the same street in Provo under three different names, so three listings can look like three locations and be one. Our guide to how Utah addresses work covers why a name and a number here are not the same kind of fact.
The cooking is the durable part. The kitchen's own claim is that the steak, chicken and al pastor go over a wood flame rather than a flat-top, and the specialty tacos are built around that; it describes its range as northern and southern Mexican street food with some tex-mex alongside. A 2016 student-newspaper profile records the business opening in February 2015 under Veronica and Eliezer Coca, who had planned to run a food truck and took a restaurant unit instead. That is a familiar Utah Valley shape and the origin story outlasts any address: the truck that became a building.
What we will not do is pick one of the three addresses and print it as though the question were settled. A directory that guesses confidently is worse than one that says it does not know.
Everything we have written about it
This is every page on Provo.com that names Brasas Mexican Grill, most substantial first. The directory exists to route you into the writing rather than to replace it.
The durable facts, and the ones we refuse to carry
- Name: Brasas Mexican Grill
- Address: 2448 N University Pkwy, Provo, Utah
- Cuisine: Mexican
- Where we read the address: our own page, not a third-party listing
- How we know the city: the only pages naming it are scoped to a single city in their own titles
We do not publish opening hours, prices, phone numbers or ratings for any venue in this directory. Those are the facts that go stale, and a directory carrying them is wrong within a season while still looking authoritative. For hours, ask the restaurant.
