Brasa Roja - Colombian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Amazing First Visit, Disappointing Second One! Be careful when ordering! I heard so many great things about the infamous churrasco at this restaurant, so I made the trip and ordered it. My first visit (May 16th) was outstanding! The churrasco was a decent, juicy, and tender NY Strip Steak with perfect thickness, served over yuca fries, sweet plantains, and potatoes. The chimichurri on the side wasn't the authentic Argentinian recipe, but it was still good. I ordered it medium rare, exactly how I like it, and it was amazing, tasty, and delicious. (See photo #1.) Today (June 19th), I decided to stop by again--but it was a huge disappointment. The churrasco I received didn't taste like NY Strip Steak and tasted like the regular cheap meat you get when you go to a bad cheap Mexican restaurant and order the famous carne asada plate. It wasn't cooked to the medium temperature I ordered. The cut was extremely thin, almost like Carne Asada or Chuck Roast (the kind used for their $9.99 corrientazo or the meat they served on the "Bandeja Paisa plate" . It was dried, rubbery, and had no taste whatsoever. I mentioned the issue to the waiter and even showed him the meat while asking for the bill. He told me, "I'm sorry, today was your unlucky day , I will let them know"?. This is Unacceptable. A good restaurant management should approach the customer and replace the meal or not even charging ! He acknowledged it was completely wrong when he saw the meat and apologized sincerely. That honesty was appreciated, but it's stories like this that make a restaurant lose its reputation and push customers away. In my case, I'm now afraid to come back and waste my money. First photo: My amazing churrasco from May 5th. Photos 2 & 3: The disappointing churrasco from today (June 19th). I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously and improves consistency. A great restaurant can easily become a great and reliable one with better attention to detail. Maybe the cooks picked the wrong meat or sliced it wrong? Just look at images 2 & 3 and compare the big difference--thin and dried! I'm a bit upset about wasting my money for pretty much garbage. read more

Lots of inside seating available. Whole chickens, Colombian sodas and South American staples. Once you enter the plaza it may leave you to question if you're lost but keep straight. It'll be in the center shop area on the end, left hand side. You may need to ask for water if they don't bring it out right away. Food was a quick snack time so we could try other places. Would come back to try other items on their menu. Parking right in front. read more

It was quiet for a Monday at 6pm but I noticed more and more people trickled in as we dined. This corner spot in the middle of the Commercial Center had plenty of seating for our large group and the servers were very accommodating to our party of 15. It was the first time for many of us to try this restaurant and to try Colombian cuisine. The carne asada and the chicken specials for $9.99 were very generous portioned and were very good. We ordered appetizers to try out their empanadas and pupusas and we enjoyed them. The two servers were very attentive. This neighborhood gem is a great pick for a hearty dinner. read more

Came in for the $7.95 carne asada special. Come with the rice, beans, and a simple salad. Honestly, you can't beat the price. Great portions. Service was nice! read more

Brasa Roja - Colombian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

The service is good but the food was disappointing. I got empanadas de carne and there was no carne, it was all potato. I also got the carne asada plate, it was seasoned fine but kind of dry. I say will the plate was a large serving can be shared between 2. Lastly I got a batido de mora and it was super sweet I could feel the sugar grains while sipping lol. It's the first time I've been in years and I'm not really that picky but I was just so disappointed this time around I had to leave a review. I like the ambiance, it's nostalgic to me and want to see the restaurant do well. I hope they can improve so they can keep their business going. read more

I swear this place will keep you satisfied. My second time here and I'll keep coming back for their grilled chicken special. They have beef, roasted chicken, and grilled chicken, comes with rice beans and a mini salad. My to go order was correct and ready quickly. I recommend their green salsa/sauce it's mildly spicy. There is lots of seating available at their location as well. Feels very much like a Colombian home read more

2 words, MISSING. CHICKEN. Yes you read that right. In the area to try the panaderia, but walked in here first not knowing they were separate. The smell was captivating. I was finishing a long water fast that day and figured when I was done w my reintroduction process I would have some chicken after my steamed veggies. Woman was hungry right then. We are cutting it close for a movie. This piece made a difference you'll soon understand. So I order a WHOLE CHICKEN. I paid. WHOLE PRICE. They have several sitting out. And I must say, despite the language barrier, the lady who helped me was really sweet. I didn't think to ask about a wait time bc they had loads of cooked chickens out! After I pay she tells me 20 mins! I def don't have that. She asks (I'm assuming) the chef/cook in the back, I can't see them. Comes back w 5 mins, ok. If we didn't have the barrier I would've asked why I couldn't have just had one of the birds out front. They have a sign that certain sauces/salsas were .75. Aji was up there and I asked about it and pulled out a dollar, she was saying something about it's garlic and oil, I said ok, then she said it was $1.63! I'm not sure why. The chicken had come out by then and I didn't want to spend the time digging out change but she said there was some salsa verde in the box. It was kinda wild to see (what I thought was) a whole bird in a little styrofoam box! It was hot tho! Like can't put the bag directly on your leg hot! Woman went to town on the fries (which blanketed the chicken). She said they were great and honestly smelling that food was the first time I was ready to throw caution to the wind! I opened the sun roof instead lol. She said the salsa was really spicy but I couldn't get a clear answer on the chicken. She was just hungry. After the movie she reflected and said she still wasn't sure about it, and wanted to hear my thoughts. So later when it's time to eat, I open the box and see there's one cut up chicken boob. This is woman's least favorite part, and I know she didn't eat it in the car either. I asked if she ate 2 whole wings and a breast, and she said she did not! Only a wing!!! So because of all the circumstances that played out we didn't notice til much later, but I don't understand how someone orders a WHOLE CHICKEN and you don't put the parts in! If you cut it up and warmed it, did the bird not have those parts? Couldn't you have grabbed them from another of your many birds?? Aside from that, after I tried it I understood why woman couldn't give me an answer. The smell misrepresented the taste. It was bland. The boob we did have was dry and flavorless. The thighs/legs/dark meat were more flavorful but the whole experience is a no for me. Times are tough and prices are high, why would you short a customer? You know exactly how many pieces should be in the box! I just can't get behind this type of business. Is everyone shorted? Was it just me? I'm not a fan. We were talking about going back to try something else but I'm good. And if your wondering about the movie lol, we made it with one preview to spare! Chicken buyers beware! read more

So I came here during my lunch break because it is close to one of my work sites that is right across the street. It was first time trying a Colombian restaurant, but I tried their carne asada special. It came with salad, rice and pinto beans along with thin sliced beef steak. It was not bad at all, especially the price. What a great deal! I'd be back to try something else on their menu. It is definitely a hole in the wall that is popular amongst local Hispanics. A no frills type of restaurant and close to another Colombian cafe, which I suggest to also visit in the plaza. This plaza is thriving with a diverse mix of authentic cuisines. Will come back sometime again. read more

Wow. If any place needs an updated interior, it's this place. Nothing appealing with the busy, mismatched decor. However the food and prices are really good! I had friendly bi-lingual staff who gave me good service. It's a pretty good size dining area which can accommodate large parties. I had the 1/4 chicken with rice, beans and small salad. Even with a soda it was more affordable than going to one of the fast food places . I will be back for sure . This is an understated restaurant that offers great value . read more

Brasa Roja - 1/4 chicken - Colombian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Terrible quality food and very rude staff. Will not return. Too many other options in town.

Located in Las Vegas at the Commercial Center on Sahara Ave. place is wide, not claustrophobic. Wait staff friendly. Food is something else... I think this is my first try at a Colombian Restaurant... I ordered Morcilla (blood sausage) which came with an Arrepa ( bread). It was delicious but lacked a little salt for my taste, nevertheless, delicious and well seasoned. Taste enhance by their green sauce. Also ordered a Bandeja Paisa with sirloin, chorizo, deep fried pork belly, rice with fried egg on top, and sweet fried plantains. It was delicious. Chorizo was good, the pork belly a little over fried for me but still good, and the steak was good and cooked to my liking. Had a Colombiana drink with it. Good stuff. Price was very reasonable for the amount of food you get. The Bandeja Paisa was around $19.00, the morcilla about $5.00. Had trouble trying to eat it all... hahaha I recommend folks to give it a try. I will definitely return. read more

Colombia is an awesome country that has for years been given a raw deal. It has great people, culture,music and food. The latter has not caught the attention of Americans as well as other Latin American cuisines. But it has a little bit of everything. Want churrasco? They got it! Want tasty beans? Yup. Empanadas, sí! The sweet spot of being in a cool mom and pop Colombian restaurant is that it's good food reasonably priced, with generous portions. And Brasa is all those things to me. It has the flavors, the music, and the people. Much like many football teams sometimes regret their mistake of not being prepared when they play the Columbian national team, you don't underestimate Colombia! And I for one never would. I don't mind making the trip to this hidden gem. read more

Food is ok, chicken have a flavor but the potatoes are dry an old, service is terrible they were in the rush to closed so they just served to go whatever is left over even the sauce container are empty and only 2 for a whole chicken not enough, we will not return, big disappointment. I even ask the cashier for hot sauce and she replied that green sauce inside is hot, SHE LIED IN BIG TIME, not hot at all. read more

Fantastic hidden gem in a plaza you'd never knew existed unless you already knew. My bff growing up is colombian so I always compare colombian food to her mom's cooking. The stand out here is def the beef and potato empanadas. Even the salsa served with it tasted just like Yolanda's! The shell was thick and crispy, even after cooling down and the filling had a very soft texture and you could easily taste the beef and potato. We also tried the corn and cheese cake (arepa) and plantains. The arepas are amazing but def need to be eaten/finished hot or at least warm. They were so gooey and sweet/savory but as soon as they got cold it was dry. I did take half of mine home and reheated in a toaster oven they were good as new. Most of the side orders come one piece per order, but the plantains came with 6 pieces per order. The main dish I tried was the special order in the window; $7.95 asada plate, which comes with rice, beans, and salsa. The rice tasted exactly like Yolanda's! The steak was a thin piece but perfectly suitable for the price. The salad is a basic salad served with oil and vinegar on the side. Service is friendly, and our server spoke perfect English. Seems like there is (or was pre covid) live music as there's a little stage and a long bar on one side of the restaurant. I actually came in thinking it was going to be like a cafeteria/order at the counter type place but it's a sit down table service place. All in all, two people got super stuffed for $20 each including tax and tip! Can't say that about many full service restaurants nowadays. Will def be back. read more

Queríamos amor el restaurant pero desde que entramos hay un letrero que dice " Wait to be seated" y estaba una señora que trabaja ahí trapeando que ni nos paro bolas. Al final la señora puso el trapeador y nos dijo que nos podíamos sentar en cualquier mesa ( le tomo como 3 minutos, para saludarnos). Después llego la mesera, que llego con una actitud horrible, pedimos unas empanadas y cuando ella las trajo a la mesa nada más llevo ají, mi esposo le pidió salsa rosada y la mesera hizo una cara de molesta. Ella nunca se digno de llagar a ver si necesitabas algo, ni siquiera tuve la oportunidad de decirle que el plato que yo pedí dice en el menú que venia con patacones y me dieron papitas fritas. Las muchachas que "trabajan" ahí, que habían como 7 meseras lo único que están haciendo es estar en un group en frente chismoseando, hasta se estaban tomando la presión entre ellas. No es que ellas estaban haciendo de todo menos atender a los clientes. read more

GRILLED MEATS & WONDERFUL COFFEE Ambiance: Spacious corner location with plenty of natural lighting. Seating is according to current health regulations and seating at the bar is apparently restricted. Prior to the pandemic there was evening entertainment. Never been to Columbia. So I cannot vouch if the setup is typical of their culture. Ordered: chicken & grilled lamb which is accompanied with fried yucca, roasted potatoes & panfried maduro. Table service: Superb Recap: When I lived in Miami I was exposed to plenty of Columbian restaurants and even to Chinese-Columbian. I always relished their cuisines. Its not any different here. Always tasty and bountiful in portions served. They're in the Commerical Center with plenty of parking. The coffee is incredible and for just $1 including refill too ! read more

I came here on a Monday around 10am. There was only one table that was taken. Very empty at this time. This is a fairly large restaurant with plenty of tables. I started off with mango milk. It was thick and creamy and the right amount of sweetness. I wanted to try several dishes on the menu, so I ordered yuca fries which didn't seem fresh, arepa con queso which seemed like it was microwaved, the carne asada plate, the beans and rice was good, but the carne asada was a little tough, and I ordered a side of chicken which was very dry. I mentioned this to the waitress and she even agreed and took this item off the bill. The carne asada plate was insanely inexpensive. Less than $5.00! It will definitely fill you up, but leaving satisfied is a different story. Service was excellent. My water were refilled periodically. I had no problem with that. The food was lacking taste and quality. Unfortunately, I would not be returning here. read more

Very disappointing experience. I love Latin food (I am from Venezuela, neighbor to Colombia) and the Colombian food here was nothing like I was expecting. I have had the type of food before and even if I hadn't, I know whether something is okay or plain do not serve it to customers bad (such as the dry and hard chicken and arepa they gave us) Having read some reviews, I was wary but I always want to give a place a shot. Came around 11am and it was nearly empty. Ordered the following: 1) Corn pancake with cheese (arepa) $2.50. It came in about 2 minutes. It was clearly premade and heated upon order. A bit tough, a bit dry, overly dense and just not a good arepa at all. 2) Passion Fruit juice in water $2.50 - too sour and not enough passion fruit flavor. The Mango with milk juice $2.95 was good, thick and creamy. 3) Colombian Beef empanada $1.50 - Well, this was not a beef empanada. It was chicken...And it was just okay. It was crunchy and the sauce it came with (like a pico de gallo style) went well with it but the empanada wasn't flavorful enough. Too thick masa outside. Empanada walls should be thin enough to hold the filling. 4) Fried Cassava (yuca) $2.95 - One of the few things that were good. Freshly fried. 5) Steak Special $4.95 - Don't ask me how it is so cheap, but it really is a full meal for under 5 bucks. The steak was decent, not too dry. The rice and beans were okay. This dish gave this review an extra star *. 6) Homemade Morcilla $3.95 - Lacked flavor as well. It had too many green peas inside and not enough blood. Fell apart too quickly. 7) Rotisserie Chicken - I wanted to try their chicken which is what they claim is their specialty. OMG it was TERRIBLE. Dry as a piece of wood, we complained and they took it off the bill. But seriously, do not give your customers chicken from YESTERDAY. Even the waitress knew it was dry (see picture) Overall, REALLY BAD. Not worth the drive or even the thought of. I left Vegas after this meal and the drive was just disappointing. A meal like this can make anyones day a bad day. read more

Very bland, chicken dry and overall underwhelming rotisserie chicken. We sampled some empanadas & other entrees too. Their salsas & entrees were bland. The waiter commented that their salsa is never consistently spicy and wasn't sure whether they had or hadn't any hot sauce. This was our problema. Colombian food like much of South American food is bland. I know this. But this sort of Colombian rotisserie is usually prepared with a good quantity of garlic, cumin, thyme, paprika, scallions, salt, see where I'm going. Many ingredients that add to it's irresistible flavor. Enough that would instantly grab at any newbies taste buds. In Chicago a popular nighttime news host had commented that he dreams about this chicken. We have had our own version of Brasa Roja for over 21 years. Strange that the marketing, menu and name is similar, but there isn't any mention of the Chicago connection. In Chicago. We've had "La Brasa Roja" for over two decades. The rotisserie chicken is top notch good. Immense flavor of garlic & salt with the meat succulent & juicy. That's what I'm used to. If any of you Vegas residents get a chance to visit the Windy City, please stop by any of the three locations and try it. You'll be blown away at the difference. The same reigns true though, the other menu items are bland but LBR offers decent salsas that are consistent in flavor. Once food hit the table we were completely disinterested in eating. As stated above, we couldn't look beyond some of the worst suspects. I asked my family to hold-on as I ran across the lot to the Korean grocery to find hot or savory sauces. (That was a clusterfuck of idiocy, which I'll mention in my next review. I was able to find a few sauces and brought them back to the restaurant.) Usually I might feel weird bringing a condiment into a restaurant but the waiter understood so she looked past it. Unfortunately it didn't help much. Meh.. Since we were on vacation taking the spoils back to the hotel was not appealing. I'd spent somewhere in the realm of sixty dollars! So, I spent a little more and bought a half chicken meal and a couple bottles of water. Boxed everything to go. A few feet away from their location was a guy living out of the dumpster. Poor guy. It was close to 100 F that day. I remembered seeing him on the drive up. So I checked to see if he were hungry, which he was. And asked if he would like all the food I had. I bought the extra fresh portion for him to try. I offered the sauce, the meals and cool water bottles. Funny thing, he mentioned his pantry was needing some sauce! read more

Ethnic eats in Vegas can be a hit or miss.... Haven't had good Colombian food since Gran Colombia back in the day(now Aracely's) Tried this Colombian spot on the east side and ordered a few things: Arepa con queso Empanadas (Potato and Beef) Bandeja Paisa Mango Drink Guanabana Drink At any sit down spot, there is gonna be a wait for food which I don't mind, but when your Arepa comes out 5-10 minutes after ordering, Houston, WE HAVE A PROBLEM...Definitely wasn't made to order, very dense, barely warm, and not that tasty...the Empanadas were a little better, but not my favorite. The chorizo and carne asada on the Bandeja Paisa was delicious, but the chicharron was bad. Dried out on the meat side, and tough and rubbery on the skin side. Rice, beans, and plantains were good. Drinks were good and service was pleasant. Price point was okay, but I just wished that shortcuts in the kitchen were avoided. ALOHA!!! Shaka Meter: \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ 3 read more

have been to three different Colombian restaurants oiga mire vea, Aracelis Colombian food and now this one Brasa Roja here is my take . Brasa Roja has a better location and the restaurant has natural daylight coming in which is nice the ambiance was nice good music although it sounds like they still use CD's cause the same music keep pausing cause of a possible scratch which was annoying. Food wise all I liked was the empanadas with their salsa de Ají. Bandeja paisa I don't like it the egg was burned and the yolk was hard when it should have been sunny side up not completely burned , the beans needed a bit more of flavor perhaps needed some gizo or salt the chorizo had a weird aftertaste which was not pleasen t so I don't like it . The arepas de queso were too dense i didnt like the fact that there was no cheese . The service was not good ordered appetizers everything came at once .. and was uncomfortable to have a big party next to us having a memorial service it was weird . read more
