I LOOOOVE this place, the chicken is one of the most flavorful I've had, I love that the flavor is in every bite and not just in the crust, their salsas are really good too.. Service is always great, they usually have the food ready pretty fast, and I usually order delivery but the place itself is really nice too, clean and well maintained. read more

Ajo garlic chicken was unfortunately really dry in my Peruvian bowl, but I liked all the additions you could add (corn, peppers, kale/cabbage) and the Chaufa rice was tasty. Inside is very clean and the service is pretty quick. Would come back to try the pollo à la brasa! read more

Came here on a Saturday around 4:00 p.m., and it was fairly quiet. I ordered the Peruvian Bowl with white rice, French fries, lomo saltado, and green onions on the side, along with a passion fruit lemonade. Our food came out in about 5-10 minutes, which was impressive. Overall, the food was good, and the portions were satisfying. The restaurant itself was cute, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The only disappointment was the passion fruit lemonade, it tasted more like passion fruit juice than lemonade, so if you're expecting that tart lemonade flavor, you may be a bit underwhelmed. If you're looking for a quick, convenient spot for Peruvian food, this is a solid choice. While I think there are several Peruvian restaurants in San Francisco that offer even better food, this place makes up for it with more affordable prices and much faster service. For that reason, I'm giving it 3 stars. It's a good value when you're short on time or want a satisfying meal without spending as much. read more

This review is about the ambience. I used to come to this location when Limon was still there. It is still one of my favorite places in the city, but every time I pass Brasa Bros, I just don't feel drawn to go inside. The space doesn't feel very inviting--it comes across as a bit sterile and could easily be mistaken for any generic fast-food restaurant. I think they should seriously consider changing the ambience and giving the space more warmth and personality. It could make a huge difference in attracting people who are simply walking by. read more

Let me cut to the chase. I was kinda disappointed with this casual rotisserie chicken shop even though it comes from the team that owns Limon. In fact, I was quite forlorn having presumed this location of Limon was permanently closed. I liked the way they prepared their pollo à la brasa because the Peruvian-style chicken was consistently succulent. I'm guessing maintaining the quality and profitability of a sit-down restaurant has been economically challenging since this was not the only Limon that has closed. I was encouraged that they kept the space and reinvented it into more of a fast food/takeout operation replete with a cartoon chicken mascot and an animated mural along the northern side of the building. I came by in the middle of a weekday afternoon, so I wasn't ready to eat on the spot. I decided on a takeout order of the $21.95 Half Chicken Pollo à la Brasa with two sides. I think I overdid the starches and went with the Plantains and Yuca Fries. I only noticed afterward that I could've gotten salad or cole slaw instead. When I got home and started to eat, I was immediately disappointed that the chicken tasted overcooked with the breast piece particularly dry. That was too bad because the skin from the rotisserie had the familiar flavorful seasonings. The plantains were tasty albeit a bit oily, while I had to nuke the lukewarm yuca fries to bring them back to life (Photo 9). Next time, I'll time my arrival closer to lunch or dinner, so I can dine in-house. My hope is that the chicken will be closer to the quality level I recall from Limon. FOOD - 3 stars...sadly overcooked when I ate it at home AMBIANCE - 4 stars...the space itself is fine, much more casual SEEVICE - 3.5 stars...the staff was nice enough TOTAL - 3 stars...fast food version of Limon not quite there yet RELATED - Exploring the Mission?

Brasa bros has been in my list of new restaurants to try specially because I love this style of chicken. I came for lunch and the place was fairly empty. The cashier was very nice and attentive and the location was very clean. I ordered a 1/4 chicken with yuca fries and fried plantains which is my go to order for similar restaurants. Unfortunately the plantains were old and had a weird taste to them(I couldn't finish), the yuca fries were nice and crispy but you only get a few so that sucks, the chicken was the smallest piece of chicken I've ever received at a chicken restaurant! Flavor lacked compared to other Peruvian chicken places and it was also very dry. For the price and food I wouldn't come back. read more

I Have Visited A Lot Of Fried Chicken Joints All Over The Us!!!!!!!! This Brasa Bros Place Reminds Of Pollo El Campero In The Other Side Of Mission Street!!!!!

For months, Brasa Bros has been going hella hard on promoting and hyping the opening of their new shop. After all the teasing like the self-proclaimed "Carrie Bradshaw of San Francisco", today is the day! The owners (three brothers) of Limón have rebranded their SVN location into a fast-casual chicken shop. Open for takeout, indoor dining, and outdoor dining. M E N U Specialty: Pollo a la brasa - Peruvian rotisserie chicken. They also have salads, chicken tenders, loaded fries, and sides. Sauces available by the jar for purchase. Beer and sangria available. FYI, their $1 tender combo deal is from 5 pm - 7 pm today only. You have to take a selfie with their chicken mascot, post it on IG, and you'll receive a voucher. Visited for a late lunch. F O O D * Whole Pollo A la Brasa w/ choice of two sides ($34.95) Marinated with aromatic herbs and spices, the chicken is cooked over an open flame. The skin is slightly crispy and the meat is juicy except the breast that's dry. Not too salty which I appreciate. If you've had Limón's signature rotisserie chicken, it's the same thing. Served with a side of their creamy, tangy ají amarillo sauce. For sides, we choose their savory arroz chaufa (fried rice) and crunchy yuca fries. Wished they had tacu tacu (pan-fried rice and beans) on the menu. * Side: Two Chicken Tenders ($5.95 x2) - Brasa Bliss Sauce ($2.50) Hot and crunchy with a flaky crumb batter. Compared to the pollo a la brasa breast, the tender was moist. The brasa bliss sauce was delicious, low-key reminds me of a creamy honey mustard. But, $5.95 per a tender with no sauce included is steep! S E R V I C E Friendly and prompt (order at the counter or two kiosks). No line since we visited at off peak hours. A M B I A N C E Bright and eye-catching, you can't miss the storefront when driving through SVN. About a dozen tables inside with 4 sidewalk tables. P A R K I N G Difficult street parking. Overall, solid pollo a la brasa and a good option for those who eat at weird hours since they're open all day! read more

Brasa Bros - Whole Pollo a la Brasa w/ arroz chaufa + yuca fries ($34.95), Chicken Tender ($5.95 each), Brasa Bliss Sauce ($2.50) - Peruvian Near Me - San Francisco, California

5/5 - chaufa crunch was a very filling loaded fries bowl with tender chicken, fried rice, and fries. I was very impressed with how juicy the tenders were and the sauce was not overpowering. Proportions were well prepared. Highly recommend as a first dish introduction to this restaurant! Service was also very fast and you can choose different sauces if you ask. Relatively good seating availability and a fun place to grab lunch or dinner! read more

Would go back when in SF! They had fast service and clean bathrooms. I ordered the MONSTRITO. Which is your choice of 1/4 white or dark meat, fried rice and fries. It also comes with a side of Ají Amarillo which is not spicy and a nice flavor to it. The chicken was good! Fries were amazing! I will be sure to bring my Peruvian relatives here! read more

I wish I took a picture of the combo but it was so chaotic on the opening night & it was totally worth it. I waited about an hour during opening night for their $1 combo of fried chicken + fries. As a new establishment, I thought they were very organized in the way they handled the long line & wait. By the time we got to the counter, we were immediately handed food, so they chefs were working quickly. We brought the take out combos home & gave it a try. The fried chicken was very crispy and juicy and the fries were delicious, in my opinion. The fries were like thick cut steak fries that most were crunchy on outside and soft on the inside but there were definitely ones that weren't crispy (which I like). The sauce that was given to us tasted very similar to chick fila and I'm so glad there is a place nearby now. I thought about getting a bucket and definitely will have to try it the next time I venture to brasa bros! read more

Brasa Bros, was a great no Brainer for something fast and delicious. The service was fast and very polite. Angie the cashier was very helpful and insightful in regards to any questions I had about the menu's offerings.

I ordered the 1/4 chicken with sides. The chicken was good and the sauce it came with was also good. The plantains were warm and perfectly sweet. The fries were okay. I would take the plantains over the fries. The staff are friendly and quickly prepared my order even though they were about to close. The inside space is clean and modern read more

Great chicken and French fries bowl , Angie is the best. Super friendly and helpful! Great neighborhood spot to eat. Will definitely be back soon read more

What a charming new fast food shop in the mission ! We ordered this for a game night with friends and it was absolutely perfect. We were able to order online and pick up our order very easily from the shop. We got a bucket with both the half chicken and the fried chicken . Both were very juicy and flavorful, but the true standout were the accompanying sauces. We got one of each sauce and they were so delicious in their own way. I personally liked mixing all of the sauces together but my husband's favorite was definitely the yellow sauce. As sides, we got the fries and the fried rice which were both perfect accompaniments to the chicken and the fries were also especially good in the sauces. We also got the plantains which were very solid. Can't wait to come back and try more things off of this menu. read more

Had this place for a friend's get-together and overall it was a great experience. We ordered the Knockout Combo, which came with a full rotisserie chicken, chicken tenders, and two sides. The rotisserie chicken was juicy and well-seasoned. It pulled apart easily and was full of flavor. The chicken tenders had a great flavor as well, but they were a little on the tough side. Not necessarily bad, just not as tender as we hoped. For sides, we went with the fried rice and fries. The fried rice had a nice salty taste, and the fries were golden and crispy, exactly how you want them. We also got an order of the monstrito fries, which were loaded with toppings and super satisfying. They had a good mix of textures and flavors, perfect for sharing. read more

Like the new casual dine in concept versus the former Limon. Love Limon But loving a renewed focus on chicken items as a lot of times, people go to a Limon just for the chicken so this was definitely a positive change. The rotisserie chicken is really good. Flavorful and juicy. Crispy on the wings and skin. The sauces are a must have, get all 3. Wishes the sweet potato fries could be crispy...they didn't have bite...service is 1000%. The ladies checked on us consistently. The arroz chaufa sooooo good. Def coming back... read more

Quite liked the chicken sandwich. It comes with brass bliss sauce - I wish I could pick the sauce I want instead (ahi sauce or pico loco). Seems like a decent deal with a free soda. A basic can of beer is $7 which is WILD. Please reconsider this crime. read more

welcome to the neighborhood, Brasa Bros! Brasa Bros is my new go-to spot for crispy, juicy chicken tenders! (Because that's the only thing I've tried so far...very excited to try everything else on the menu). The tenders are perfectly fried with a crunchy coating and tender meat inside - seriously addicting. The fries are golden, hot, and actually stay crispy (huge win!). The real star here might be the dips - don't miss the garlic aioli and spicy chimichurri; they take everything to the next level. Friendly service and fast turnaround make it even better. Can't wait to go back and try more! read more

The food was so awesome. One of the best chicken spots I actually have tasted. I don't think I could ever eat rotisserie chicken the same, the sauce, the juicy chicken completes it all. The rice was perfect and fries finished it off well. The service was great, we got it for here but got takeout bags instead which was ok because we ended up taking it home. Ambiance was pretty chill wasn't anything too fancy more of a takeout or eat in fast food type of vibe. Definitely would recommend! read more

I went on opening day but before they had their special. I'm Peruvian so wanted to try the chicken and it was delicious. The ajis were good flavor but not spicy maybe the green one a little. Unfortunately I've had better arroz chaufa but they my opinion. Plátanos were good. Both fries were good. So was chicha. There are seats inside and outside as well. Very clean and nice. Parking is hard. The cashier was helpful since it was first time visiting. Definitely going back read more

The rotisserie chicken was dry, I ordered a whole chicken and they only gave me 3/4!! Then I had the fried rice and I tried it before giving it to my daughter and it tasted and smelled like cleaning chemicals!!! My lady tried it a little bit and she said it tasted like fabuloso!!! Even my mom said it smelled like chemicals! This place needs an inspection! That's negligence that could harm people!!! read more

Fist time today trying this place. Let me say. The food quality is phenomenal. Beautiful quick service restaurant, everything is made to order and delicious. I had the Chicken Tender Combo, tables around me had unbelievable rotissary whole chicken to die for.

I'll be back lots and highly recommend read more

Brasa Bros - Three piece chicken tenders. House made fries and dipping sauce - Peruvian Near Me - San Francisco, California

Finally, a spot that delivers when you're craving fried or rotisserie chicken done right. Brasa Bros nails it with A1 service, a spotless dining area, and plenty of seating for groups. The vibe is lively too, with upbeat Latin music playing in the background that makes the experience even better. Before you even walk in, the bold, colorful mural outside sets the tone and matches the vibrant flavors inside. I ordered the ¼ rotisserie chicken with sweet potato fries and slaw, plus a chicken tender on the side just to see what the hype was about. Everything comes with a trio of house-made sauces: -Brasa Bliss (orange): sweet meets savory in the best way. -Aji Amarillo (yellow): tangy, zesty, and finger-licking good. -Pica Loco (green): savory with just the right kick of heat. The rotisserie chicken was juicy and packed with flavor. The sweet potato fries were crispy and cooked just right. The slaw was tasty but a little heavy on the dressing for my preference, so I'd give it a 3 out of 5. Brasa Bros is perfect for a quick lunch, a casual dinner, or takeout to enjoy at home or in a nearby park. I will definitely be back to try the chicken salad next time. read more

The food is good and it is by the same owners of limon. I love the yellow sauce as it is my favorite. I like to get a half chicken with 2 sides. Sweet potato fries and fried rice are good. read more

I ordered through my work catering service, and ordered the three tender combo that was supposed to come with the three tenders, fries, coleslaw, sauce, and drink. I only received two tenders, the coleslaw, and drink. I didn't receive the sauce as advertised and am also completely missing a tender. I paid extra additional to get three tenders instead of just two. So I basically got scammed because I am missing two items, one tender and the sauce. read more

Brasa Bro's, what a great fresh meal. I am originally from Hartford, CT and we have good Peruvian restaurants such as "Piolyn" and "Rockin' Chicken". I miss it much but Brasa Bro's has good Peruvian too! The go-to is a Whole Chicken, white rice, fries and buckets of "green sauce!" Enjoy! read more

We brought about 8 friends over to experience the food here but unfortunately had the worst experience in terms of service and the food tasted a bit stale as well. As per the poor service - the cashier (Marlo) was extremely rude and took the opportunity to take out his frustrations on us by accusing us that we took drinks that weren't for us and touched other people drinks and we have to pay for all of them again - once shown the receipt of our order to get him in check, he still continued to verbally show a lot of demeaning attitude, lied to us that he's serving the drinks to everyone at their tables and threw the drink he thought wasn't ours. It was really embarrassing for us as he was rude to my wife when she showed him the receipt and threatened to charge us again for drinks we already paid for in front of all our guests that we brought over into an almost empty setting. I would ask the owners to look into this. Note to self and others coming here, food is alright but a little bit of customer service and patience to hear others goes a long way. We're probably not going to go there or recommend anyone we know. read more

Brasa Bros - This was a really good experience The food was awesome and wow the monstrito wonderful And the service was the best - Peruvian Near Me - San Francisco, California

Super dry, salty, and hastily chopped up chicken. Safeway is better than this. I ordered to go and got a bucket of thrashed chicken pieces that were dry, super salty, and bad all around. That's really too bad considering how great limon used to be. read more

I came here for their grand opening and tried the $1 tender combo. It came with their signature Brasa Bliss sauce, which was rich, flavorful, and perfect with the crispy chicken. Even though the place was packed, the food still came out hot, fresh, and juicy -- like it had just come out of the fryer. The staff were welcoming and kind, which made the experience even better. I also had their Lagarta cerveza, which was smooth and refreshing. I thought it was really cool that the owners also created the beer brand -- and we learned they're the same team behind Limón in SF, with this being their new Peruvian fusion concept. While we ate, DJ Devere played great music and kept the energy up. The atmosphere, food, and music all came together seamlessly, making it such an enjoyable visit. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try the rotisserie chicken and loaded fries to explore more of the flavors this place has to offer. read more

I was excited to try this new location because I love Peruvian food, but I did come during closing hours and ordered the monstrita bowl that came with chicken,fried rice and fries wasn't really my favorite at all. I went to bed shortly after and thought nothing of it until I felt this sudden urge to puke so I went and puked up that entire meal. I have a feeling it was the rice probably spoiled that's just my experience I would not like to come back. read more

Peruvian here! I hardly ever go to Peruvian restaurants because they usually are over priced and not that great. I visit Peru often so I know what good food is. However, this place is delicious! The chicken is well seasoned and moist. The sauces are great and fries. Also tried the plantains and the pollo saltado. All good! Service is quick! read more

We were so excited to try this restaurant and even had a lunch-in with our doctors. We placed our order and made sure to add extra sauces--because who doesn't love Peruvian sauces? Unfortunately, our order arrived incomplete, and all of our sauces were missing. Since they couldn't deliver them, we had to make another trip to pick them up. I even sent someone else a second time, and still, we didn't receive the full order of sauces. Don't get me wrong--the food itself was great and absolutely delicious. I just wish the customer service was more attentive when packing orders. To make things worse, they didn't even provide the driver with a bag for the sauces. Overall, a bit disappointing. For that reason, I can only rate it 3 stars for customer service. The least they could have done was even put extras for inconvenience. read more

Proper Roast, Proper Peruvian Vibes. If you're after flavour that hits harder than the Tube at rush hour, this is your spot. hit this place on Thursday, and from the first bite, it was clear: They know their pollo a la brasa. The pollo a la brasa here isn't messing about: Crispy, smoky skin that snaps with every bite, juicy meat that stays punchy all the way through, and a marinade that actually tastes like someone knows their onions. The char from the rotisserie is spot-on, leaving that savoury, slightly spicy kick that makes you nod in approval without thinking twice. Sides? Solid. Think punchy, garlicky sauces and crisp, golden fries that don't just fill the plate, they complement the bird. The atmosphere is low-key, buzzing with a proper San Francisco mix of locals and foodies, so you can chew in peace without feeling like you're on a gimmick tour. Drinks are sturdy, and service is no-nonsense, like you'd expect from a place that knows what it's doing. Massive shoutout to Liliana, our server, top-notch service from start to finish. Friendly, sharp, and totally on it, she made the meal feel effortless. Drinks solid, staff efficient, all in all, this is a place that knows how to do it right. Bottom line: you'll leave full, satisfied, and already thinking about your next visit. Pollo a la brasa crujiente, jugoso y con el servicio impecable de Liliana que te hace querer volver al instante. read more
