My favorite spot for drinks and apps! The Camarones con Choclos appetizer is so delicious. Great corn flavor, nice creamy sauce and the perfect portion of shrimp for when you're not hungry enough for a full size entre. Love the plantain chips too! Love the vibe by the bar, overall a great spot. read more

Brasitas - Latin American Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Fantastic LatinX food! It's owned by Columbians so offers some amazing exotic dishes from across the region! Like chicken curry! De-lish! Everything full of flavor and delicious!!! I added pollo asado (grilled chicken) to my delicious and savory Brasitas salad and they practically put the entire bird on, two large breasts so juicy and tender! They offer organic chicken and wild seafoods! This tiny 'hole in the wall' strip mall restaurant was an amazing surprise! Darling servers, authentic and rich flavors! I give them an enthusiastic 5 stars and I know great food and flavor, from Michelin Star restaurants to mom and pop shops! Brasitas is great for the whole family or for a romantic dinner for two in this unassuming but completely enjoyable dining experience! read more

The food was great & love the decoration of the restaurant. The waitress was not so great. It was during lunch hour so she was rushing to take our order, she stop by our table twice within 2 minutes made me feel a bit annoying & pushy. I think to give customer decent time to read over the menu (especially it was my first time) would be reasonable? I know where to get 7% cashback so happy ending read more

Great Latin ambience it indoor or outdoor enjoy the beautiful day steaks are cooked perfection brussels sprouts maybe a little undercooked but delicious and you got to try the banana chips read more

Stopped by last night as I was travelling though CT and so glad I did. Fantastic service, great food and a very moderate price. The sangria was delicious. I had the Churrasco Gaucho, a plate of sirloin, asparagus, and potatoes. Just phenomenal! I was just too stuffed to have desert, but so wanted to. Parking is easy and abundant. The staff is just terrific (thanks to Victor for the suggestion and service)! Highly recommend and hope to return. read more

Our new favorite place. Everything is delicious and their staff super gracious. Dream about their flan! Can't wait to go back.

So nothing was bad here so please come by. The snapper and the mahi were VERY fresh. The crunch on the snapper was just right. The mahi was pan seared perfectly. The sides were well prepared. So why only 3? Seasoning can be whatever you'd like. Fresh or dried herbs, salt and pepper, touch of tarragon ... whatever you wish. But it's got to have something. Otherwise I could find a great market and cook it myself. I do love light seasoning but it's gotta have a thoughtfully crafted dish that makes me more excited with each bite. I'd return if I lived locally to see if was an off night. I probably won't. Cook like the person walking in would drive 25 miles out of the way for a good meal. read more

Co worker and I ordered lunch, lomo saltado and cubano sándwich. Food has no flavor the cubano sandwich was did not have the pickle cheese or the arrúgala salad that was on the menu description. Was super greasy as well. We won't be going back. read more

Love Brasitas the Food here is very Delicious Try there Skirt Steak it is really good and the Short Ribs Special that I saw on the Menu looked good I will have to try that Next time I order you guys will be back again sometime read more

Went here for lunch with my wife. We work right down the street but have never come by. The lunch hour was pretty busy and instead of waiting we just sat at the bar. I don't really have words to describe how delicious everything was. First you get plantain chips which were delicious, especially with the salsa. I'm not sure I've ever had better salsa. You only get one bowl for free; the next bowl is $4. Probably good because you don't want to overfill on plantain chips. I ordered the Bistec a Caballo and my wife ordered the Shrimp Salad. Incredible. The steak was perfectly cooked and very tasty. It melted in my mouth. White rice and black beans come with it, as well as potatoes. I didn't leave a single speck of food on my plate. My wife loved her meal as well. So good, and I'm not sure what that reviewer was talking about when they said they left hungry. I was stuffed. Yes, it was a bit pricey, especially for a lunch. So we won't make it a weekly thing. But when we're planning a nice dinner for us or with friends, we'll definitely think Brasitas! read more

Had a nice family dinner at Brasitas a few days after Christmas. The space is contemporary and inviting, and the food is very flavorful. Everyone really enjoyed their meals...I had the churrasco with mashed yuca and a fried egg on top which was prepared to perfection. We had a few pitchers of sangria and had a great time. Our server, the lovely Magdalena, was always checking on us to make sure everything was ok and our glasses were full! read more

I am rarely impressed but Brasitas gave me the best meal I've had in a while. We just got take out but it was so delicious. Everything was fresh and well seasoned. The food felt elevated in all the right ways. And the salsa is to die for. Can't wait to make a reservation. read more

Great stuff! Plantain chips are just seasoned, not too salty and not too flavorless! The Lomo saltado was very flavorful as well! Tender meat and all! Will come here again! The atmosphere to dine in looks comfortable and also the friendly staff is a plus! Can't wait to try again! read more

Brasitas - YUMMMMMMM! This meal really hit the spot! (Lomo saltado and plantain chips! - Latin American Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

The food and drinks are great! The service is good. I would recommend this place for dinner!

Honestly, I wasn't going to bother but I was taught to treat others the way you want to be treated. I was here around 1pm today to pick up an order for Uber eats, I have eaten here before and never had any issue with staff. I guess when you are a customer you are treated differently than when you are delivering their food to customers. I walked into the restaurant to pick up an order and one employee told me to wait and so I did. Next this ignorant guy wearing white comes in (I'm assuming bartender.) Anyways the guy gets angry I did not know where the order was. We the drivers are not mind readers and your establishment had no signs, plus employee told me to wait, there is no need to harass the Uber Eats driver. Long story short you have lost me as a customer and also as your possible delivery driver aka never accepting a request if it involves your establishment. Learn to talk to people I can only imagine how the employees here must be treated. Smh! read more

I looked at their menu in advance on the internet and although it looked interesting and exciting, I had some serious doubts. First of all, being from south Florida, I wondered how could a Latin meal in Norwalk, CT even compare. Secondly, I am pessimistic of restaurants that try to cover too many different cuisines. For example, it just feels odd to find Thai restaurants that serve sushi. And Brasitas was this with Latin cuisines from Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Brazil, and more. As it turns out, this was a fantastic restaurant from start to finish. It began with complimentary plantain chips and a homemade salsa. For appetizers I tried the empanadas with three different fillings such as chicken, pork and sirloin. They were all delicious. The arepas had a great upscale presentation being topped with shredded chicken, sofrito, guacamole and crèma fresca. Choosing a main course was quite a dilemma with so many unique Latin fusion possibilities. The paella special was calling to me, but ultimately I chose a dish that I was more unlikely to find elsewhere, and I couldn't have made a better decision. The presentation alone was fabulous. My meal came with duck that was cooked to perfection, a generous portion and lacking the fat usually associated with this meal. It was accompanied with a delectably flavorful Peruvian rice topped with two quail eggs. The run off of the eggs mixed with the rice was a highlight I will crave to go back to for more one day. read more

Colombian friends brought us to Brasitas for a late lunch. We were blown away! Food, service, atmosphere were terrific. Our waiter could not have been more helpful or pleasant. I wasn't super hungry when we arrived, but then the appetizers appeared and I found my appetite. I ordered arroz con pollo and it was not only artfully presented but by far the best I've ever tasted. My dessert was flan. The taste as well as the consistency was perfect. My only complaint: I wish Brasitas was closer to my home but I'm planning to make the drive on a regular basis. read more

I have been coming here for years and despite the pandemic and inflation the food quality and service adds both still excellent! The empeñadas and arepas are expensive appetizers but I cannot go without getting them. The first round of plantain chips and salsa you get are on the house and fantastic but additional requests are pricey. My two favorite entrees are the Bistec a Caballó and the Roasted Pato. read more

I was finally able to try this restaurant out! We haven't had the best luck with restaurants these days so I didn't have high hopes for Brasitas. To my surprise everything was delicious. Even the check cheese quesadilla they threw together for my daughter. "Best cheese sandwich ever," said the 3 year old. For appetizers we had the empanadas which were fricken great. They were cooked to perfection and were served with sweet dipping sauce. We ordered the Lomo saltado, in which I was concerned about the portion size. I was starving to death and was just being greedy. To my surprise the amount given was just right. I considered getting more just to bring home! Everything was great, the service was awesome. I don't remember seeing quesadilla on the menu but they made an exception to make them for my daughter and I can't say how appreciative I am for that! I will be back here. read more

Brasitas - Lomo saltado - Latin American Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

First time dining (lunch) at this location. I've been to Stamford location a few times and have always enjoyed their food. Norwalk location has plenty of parking spots right in front of the restaurant, unlike Stamford location which can be pretty tight and inconvenient to do side street parking. Food here is just as delicious. I always love munching on complimentary plantains with salsa while waiting for my food. My lunch entree was Pollo Caribeno al Curry, sauteed chicken with celery hearts, raisins in coconut curry sauce served with yellow rice, black beans, and sweet plantains. My partner ordered Lomo Saltado. Both dishes were very flavorful. Rice was so soft (which is my preference). Portion size was generous. Beef in Lomo Saltado was so tender and juicy. What a perfect lunch. read more

Bad service experience. After we sat down on a table, we wait a really long time and no one came to take our order. Our waiter was not even around during all this time. There were less than 10 customers in the restaurant, so they were not busy at all. Finally I got up and went to the bar, found our waiter hung around there and chatting with the bartender. There was no customer on the bar. I kindly asked him that we were ready to order. You know what happened? He told me he will be with us in 10 minuets. Our drink be filled by another waiter, and our waiter never around. We were a party of three, and we had separate checks. They put a 21% gratuity on my check. If I had a good service, I am more than happy to pay more than 20% as tips. I had a terrible service and they put a automatic gratuity. I am not happy for this. read more

Loved that we were able to get a reservation on a Saturday night. They have gluten free designation on the menu, which is always great to see. It's awful having to ask which dishes are gluten free. There were a ton of options. The waitress seemed rushed and wasn't the friendliest, but the food was very tasty, and our overall experience was very good. Highly recommend! read more

Just got back from eating at Brasitas and I have mixed feelings. The food tasted okay, the service was a little slow, but the main reason I am typing this was because some of us ordered the Chicken Arepas appetizer. It tasted fine but about 20 minutes later a few people got really sick from the Arepas. Sick as in throwing up and strong stomach pain. We are not sure what exactly had gone wrong with the food, but needless to say we will not be returning. read more

Quality food, very good. I've had many different dishes here and the effort and presentation is always consistent. Very tasty! Would eat here every week if I could. read more

This is one of my top ten favorite restaurants in Norwalk going on quite a few years now. The food is consistently delicious. Their fish dishes are amazing! There are so many items I like on the menu it's hard to choose. If I had to, you definitely must try the Branzino and Salmon dishes. As far as appetizers the chicken arepas and shrimp app are fantastic. They are consistent with their food and service. Love Brasitas!! read more

Went there for dinner after reading these glowing reviews. Ordered the snapper which was one of the specials for the evening. Fish was very poor quality and it was drenched in oil. Just disgusting. I ate as much as i could, told the waiter what the issue was. If the daily special is this bad, how good could anything else on the menu be? read more

I was traveling through the state with my kids. Stopping here for lunch was as a mistake. I had a sandwich and drink and my two kids had a soda and cheese quesadilla. It took almost 40 minutes to get our food. Once we received it our server never checked back on us. I got my bill and couldn't believe $36 of the bill was just the two kids. I don't mind spending money but that was ridiculous! So disappointed! read more

On a whim, we decided to go for Latin food on our way to the famous Halloween decorated house in Stamford. Staff are polite but seems lack enthusiasm...maybe too polite? We had the arepas con pollo as an appetizer, they were good and pretty filling. So with the free fried hard plantain with salsa they served, am kind full by the time entree were served. My hubby had the rib and I had the duck. Both were good, I can't say fantastic but I can't say bad as well. Maybe I would enjoy mine better if the rice isn't greasy. Not sure if it should be done that way. Now onto to the dessert, my hubby loves chocolate so we ordered the chocolate lava cake with ice cream. I was thinking what's taking so long to serve it. None that I know that they bake it fresh....and omg. It was great....am not a chocolate person but I enjoyed it. So that means, my honey devoured it. So I have to bumped up my rating to 4. Drinks are okay...we had pisco sour. The very reason why we went for latin food tonight. read more

Deeeeeeelicioso! The food is fresh and well seasoned. Not too salty, which is something I am sensitive to. Dynamite guacamole and ceviche. My son ordered the guava ribs special and he almost died from the pleasure of every bite. If that's not enough, the service was nothing short of charming, gracious, and prompt. Though this was our first time here, we will most definitely include Brasitas in our rotation of regular spots! read more

Great food....My friend and I had Lomo Saltado and desserts were nice. Not too crowded during lunch and parking was easy. Inside is more spacious and even has an area for small get togethers.

Was here on a Saturday night and it was not too hard to get a table. The food was really good. We ordered the flatbread with mushroom and the only other vegetarian dish with rice and beans. Both the dishes tasted really good. The plantain chips with salsa served for the table was different and nice. People were friendly and I would definitely visit this place again. read more

I'm going to start this off by saying I'm a fan of Brasitas. I've been eating there for years since they are extremely close to our office and I can honestly say the food is good. I mostly do takeout, but when I do eat in the restaurant the staff is attentive, but not all that friendly. Parking is shared with a few other establishments, but usually there is a spot open around prime lunchtime hours. Since I mostly do takeout, the only issue I have with them is consistency. I'm one of those customers who orders the same thing every time I go the restaurant and that's the Pollo Caribeno al Curry. It's my absolute favorite dish. It's really unfortunate, but there are times when the dish is just bland. The curry has no flavor and the black beans are a little soupy. The rice is almost always on point, but for a $15 lunch, I expect consistent quality. All in all, it's a solid place to go to for lunch with co-workers or to take some friends. I can't speak to dinner since I'm never in the area around that time. I'm going to keep going to Brasitas, but I just wish the take out was consistent. read more
