The first time I came across them was during the Saturday morning Downtown Charlottesville City Market (pre-covid). I've also encountered them at Charlottesville Festival of Cultures (pre-covid) and most recently at the Autumn Nights Thursday Night Market (which ended in October *SAD*).  We ordered the pulled pork sandwich, lomo saltado and tried a few empanadas (the chicken empanada & the beef, egg & olive empanada. Amidst everything eaten, the pulled pork sandwich truly stole the show! The sandwich included a heap of Wandering River Farm pork shoulder with pickled red onions and jalapenos on a light, fluffy bun. The meat wasn't thinly pulled like I'be seen in many American based pulled pork sandwiches, but more broken into small, juicy tenderized bite size morsels, lathered in an amazing creamy spicy sauce and then piled on top of the buns - overflowing onto the platter with a side of fried sweet potatoes. The fried sweet potatoes were also pretty good - they kept their shape and were actually fried in thin circular slices. Unfortunately, by the time we demolished the pulled pork sandwiches, they had lost some of their fresh crunch and thus were a bit softer than expected, but nonetheless the fried sweet potatoes were a good side dish to the sandwich! The lomo saltado was stir fried beef tenderloin with onions and tomatoes, served with a side of papas fritas (hand cut potato fries) and white rice. This dish was prepared on the spot - cooked over an open stove and thus the flavors were super fresh and worth the wait~ The empanadas had thicker, doughier shells (which I really appreciated) and were filled to the brim with meat. Not super spicy but the sauces that came with them really gave the flavor an extra

I stopped in because I was at an air show and I was starving and the food trucks hadn't shown up there yet. I really wanted breakfast but I couldn't pass when I drove by. This meal was so good, I wanted to take some home to the family but I wasn't going to drive back out here just for food but it was almost worth it but 3hrs is a bit much. I wouldn't be surprised if it were one of those hidden gems restaurants that you'd see on one of those cooking shows. If you live in the area, this should be your if not one of your lunch spots. Oh, and they had some drinks I wasn't accustomed to drinking or even knowing they existed.

I went with a 1/4 chicken with rice and plantains and we also got an order of lomo saltado. The chicken was great... Slightly charred and smoky. While the beef in the lomo saltado could have been a little more tender, it was so fresh. The woman at the counter was great. We chatted a bit and she walked us through a lot of the items they had. We'll definitely be back.

But the service ruined it. We ordered to-go: half chicken, white ricex2, black&pinto beans, platanos, and decided to try a lomo saltado sandwich. $48 The chicken was very moist but not seasoned well; beans were also bland. There are better places nearby for pollo a la brasa for sure, and without the terrible service experience. The stand alone item that was pretty good was the lomo... sandwich(had no fries in it? so it was steak on bread). However, the two young people who were working 10/20/24 around 4/4:30pm were super rude. It was off putting to my partner and I that they were having private side conversations as we tried to order... like we weren't even standing there. Especially since we could both hear them talking about us in Spanish as we walked away-we're fluent. It was not polite. So overall I'd say the food was mid besides the sandwich, otherwise all pretty boring flavor wise. Nothing to outweigh that experience up front, which is why this rating is a 2 flat out.

The interior is definitely dingy, feels almost sketchy walking in. Chairs and table are cheap. They have freezers with ingredients in them accessible to patrons(which could be a health violation). But despite the lack of care put into the appearance of the restaurant, the food is quality and service is quick. 5-10 minutes for your meal to come out and I'm sure it's made pretty fresh. Fries are nothing special, might even be a frozen brand but who knows. Plantains are done so well here! They are cut into small slices so that there is more caramelization on each piece, which enhances the flavor so much. And of course, the chicken. Super juicy and flavorful. Much better than a cheap rotisserie chicken. You will tear through this thing in no time because of how good it is. I'd probably recommend getting the food to go so you can eat in a more comfortable environment. But believe me, Polla a La Brasa is some of the best bang for your buck you can get in Harrisonburg! I'm here almost every time I come down to visit.
