Las Brisas Named Bloomfield Chamber Business of the Year

The Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce held their annual awards banquet on Thursday, March 30, 2023 at the Boathouse Wine Company.

Las Brisas opened its Bloomfield location in 2018.  This was their 10th restaurant to open.  This November they will celebrate 19 years of being in the restaurant business.

The Chamber and it smembers are so incredibly proud to have them in our community and we are thankful for all of our local citizens who support them.

The founding of Las Brisas has been a real embodiment of the American Dream and the entire Marquez family is incredibly grateful.

They were able to stay open during much of the Covid-19 pandemic utilizing their drive thru and keeping their employees working.

They have been a huge supporter of several Chamber Banquet events and have supported the Halloween Trunk or Treat event.

And they have given back to the community by supplying all of the Bloomfield school teachers with gift cards.

Their goal in the beginning was to provide us with delicious food and great service and they have accomplished that.  They have crafted a place where one can come and enjoy eating with family.  I believe it's a great place to feel at home.  The food is delicious and the service is excellent.

The Bloomfield Chamber would like to recognize Gustavo Marquez, owner of Las Brisas, his family, and manager, Mr. Cesar Marquez by honoring Las Brisas with the Bloomfield Chamber Business of the Year Award.
