For many years, we've been ordering from La Brasa Peruana for take out. Never really had a bad experience. It's great to eat here in person as well. The food is served very quickly and the staffs are very friendly. My favorite is still their Peruvian chicken with their pork fried rice and green sauce. read more

I love their rotisserie chicken as it is always so delicious, super juicy & well seasoned. I enjoy eating it w/ their rice and beans + side of french fries. That green sauce is addictive! Staff was friendly & it has a good amount of indoor seating inside. read more

That rotisserie chicken was so juicy, well seasoned and delicious! That rib was also so delicious! The french fries were better than the yucca fries. The rice and beans was ok, standard. Love the green sauce so much! Waitress was friendly. The food came out pretty face. There is tons of indoor seating. read more

I have been looking for a place in Brooklyn that serves chicken like this. Normally you would have to go to Queens to get your fix. I took my wife and son, it wasn't busy on a weekday for lunch. Was seated and ordered quickly, they brought out 3 bottles of sauce; green sauce, mayo and ketchup. I ordered the 1/2 chicken with pork fried rice, 3 ribs with pork fried rice and a side of fries. The chicken just fell off the bone I mean like when you pick up the leg the meat slowly starts to slip off of the bone. This chicken is next level tender, moist and you hit it with that green sauce - WOW! The ribs were also amazing, cooked low and slow for a while they also fall right off the bone. Smothering the food with green sauce and finishing my sons fries with mayo and ketchup, I was happy. I will be coming here a few times a month. No lie, I even took a soup container of green sauce home... read more

This is the most affordable place for Peruvian chicken. We always order the whole chicken and their pork fried rice. The chicken never disappoint with their green sauce is perfect. If you don't like fried rice you can also order rice and beans. Food is always fresh. Also, we had their ribs. Not our favorite because are they are dry and more on the salty side. Ladies are very nice when they take my order on the phone and never make a mistake. read more

Food itself is great and taste amazing but the service has tons of room for improvement. They need to lean to manage their orders better. They prioritize calls and certain takeouts over others especially if you speak Spanish. I spoke English as default and got put on the back burner of the orders vs the Spanish speakers. Mind you I speak fluent Spanish so I understood everything. Their service needs better management and less flirting with Spanish speaking male customers. read more

I was intrigued why this restaurant with excellent, tasty food only got an overall rating just above 3-stars, but in fact it is no surprise: Almost every review and tip points to the same thing- fabulously juicy chicken and lackluster customer service/bad attitudes. So my review has very little to add: I only come here for Peruvian chicken now- even better than Coco Roco in Park Slope. The chicken Is savory and juicy, paired perfectly with rice & beans. I only do take out, so can't speak on in house service, but the folks on register are just dry and not too friendly. But i guess they figure the food is good enough that we'll be back anyway. I just feel though that it takes less energy to smile and say like, "hi, what can I get you?" **Update** I have returned twice since last review, and both times were much warmer and friendlier. I am giving back the star: 5-stars! (Unfortunately I have made multiple attempts to amend the original review, but have not been able to do so, so I had to post another review). read more

Order the number 2 to go today. Chicken is very very dry. I was craving peruvian chicken after having La Chacra, their green sauces was so good, so I wanted to find somewhere closer to home. Decided to give this location a try, and it was definitely a miss. Their green sauce was watered down and the chicken was very dry. The fries were not crispy due to the condensation. Will not recommend. read more

La Brasa Peruana - Very dry chicken - Peruvian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is not a place to dine-in if you're over a party of 4 as the restaurant is pretty narrow. Plus there isn't a host so you might have to fend for yourself if you want to get seated properly. This is not a place to order a whole chicken because why would you want to pay more because you're obliged to order two halves dining in. The Peruvian food? Average. The green sauce is nice and creamy and the maduros were huge. It's not plentiful nor a good value - just that each one were essentially 1/3 of a plantain where it really should be 1/5 or 1/4. And also the ribs - I didn't find any Peruvian about them. Rather they were reminiscent of the ones you'd find at a Chinese take out, but drier. I understood that there are a lot of Chinese influences on Peruvian food - but oddly enough, there's Italian elements also on the menu. read more

I would give this place 3.5 stars. I came here for dinner on a Saturday night with a group of 5 people. It's a bit chaotic here with no real host to seat customers. We pretty much sat ourselves at a table in the back. We ordered two 1/2 rotisserie chicken portions (can only order a whole chicken for takeout which doesn't make much sense), whole rack of ribs (12 ribs), maduros (sweet fried plaintains), fried yuca, two orders of rice with beans, and salchipapas (hot dogs with French fries). The portions were larger than I expected. The chicken was tasty and juicy especially with their spicy green cilantro sauce. The green sauce could be spicier. The salchipapas, fried yuca, maduros, and rice with beans were all delicious. The ribs were a bit dry. Service was a bit slow and inconsistent. I would probably come back but I'll stick to takeout. FYI - this is a cash only place. read more

I've been vainly searching for a chicken fresh off the rotisserie for years now. Everywhere I went I got chicken that was reheated, more often than not dry. My hopes were raised when I walked in to see the multiple rotisserie banks with their spinning chickens. And those hopes were met when I happily consumed the Chicken & Ribs combo ($12.95). The moist chicken was intensely, deliciously, spiced. Ribs had a slightly sweet, subtle spicing that let the natural porkiness shine through. Great flavorsome (barely spicy) green sauce too. No complaints about the rice and beans. Not a fancy place, but clean, and the staff were all very pleasant. Definitely a keeper! read more

Put all the other pork places to rest. Pound for pound. Inch for inch. This place has them beat hands down. Friendly and prompt service, in a comfortable environment with ample seating. This is a Peruvian place, and the there is a hint of cumin in the taste, but this is one of those rare Yelp confluences of 5 star price meets 5 star food. For $6.50 I had the best, most succulent and meaty ribs I've had since I've lived in New York City. Forget the food trucks. Forget the special smoking techniques. Just come here, and get what is in the picture. It's worth the trip. read more

The restaurant looked mixed Peruvian/ Chinese neighborhood so that make sense. The food is good I like Peruvian chicken and I was not disappointed. The chicken was juicy and cooked well.

Well have eaten here twice. The first time here decided to deviate and try something that was not a main rotisserie dish. So I had the Pollo Saltado dish which consisted of chicken cutlet, onions, tossed in french fries with rice and beans. This dish would be rated for me at 2 stars at best, there was barely any chicken and its quite strange to have french fries tossed with onions in some clear sauce that made the french fries soggy. That's for me the dish seemed like a starch overdose. I did have the Platano Maduro which cost extra and was very well prepared. Now the second time I tried the main staple, #1-1/2 Chicken combo with Rice and Beans. The chicken was very well cooked, moist interior with a crispy skin. The size of the chicken was much larger than other places that charge more for a smaller bird. The rice and beans were very good. The chicken was not seasoned very well or the seasoning was just not enough, I like a good seasoned bird. Overall a good place to find some of the best rotisserie chicken in Sunset Park. If not for the first dish the place would get 4 stars at best. read more

La Brasa Peruana - Half Chicken with rice n beans - Peruvian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Love the ribs. Best chicken in Brooklyn. Tasty beans. Perfect beans for someone interested in dipping their toe in bean world.

Can I rate this blessing on earth twice and give it 10 stars? I don't care what anyone says, this is now my favorite place in Brooklyn. And to think, I actually lived in Sunset Park, and would consider moving back just to frequent this place on a weekly basis! I was catapulted back to my mom's country when I came here after visiting a relative and I was seriously craving pollo a la brasa. With Inca Kola in hand and and a forkful of rotisserie chicken, I actually had an out-of-body-Peruvian experience. The skin was crisp and perfectly charred in some places, the white meat was so juicy and flavorful, and the price was right- $6.25 for half a chicken, french fries, and salad. My mom had a quarter chicken plus rice and beans for $4.50. Simply amazing!! We loved the chicken so much, we bought a whole chicken and a couple of cans of Inca Kola to take home for dinner the next day. I'm definitely going back, and definitely updating my review after I try out other tasty items on the menu- washed down with Inca Kola, of course! read more

My family has been coming to this restaurant for about 7 years now. We haven't eaten here in a while and the food quality has gone down... The service is and has always been terrible. The ladies in the front are extremely brief and rude, so we would always take our food to-go. One of the waitresses has a particularly nasty attitude... Today was the final straw. When we started eating here many years ago, we asked the short, rude waitress if the beans had pork or lard and she replied "no". It's been about 2 years since I've eatten here and I asked a new waitress about pork or lard in the beans, she replied yes. When I asked if this was new, she said, "No, they've always been made that way." This is a huge problem because my husband is Muslim. I feel like the first waitress intentionally misled us out of spite... Don't know what people get out of doing this. We won't be back. read more

This review is purely based on take out. I ordered two times here. Both times, I got the rotisserie chicken with rice and beans. I enjoyed the chicken a lot. It was moist.

I'll definitely come back for more rotisserie chicken. read more

The Yelp reviews were intriguing so I went there for chicken. I got the #1 combo with white rice, salad and 1/2 chicken and a side of tostones. The service for take out was efficient.

Oh man ! This is by far the worst dining out experience I've ever had. First of all when you walk into this spot it smells like a Chinese takeout place . I walked up to the counter where this grumpy troll was just there looking like she was ready to leave mind you its 8 and the restaurant closes at 9 it's not even like it was 8:30 like 8 on the dot . I asked if we could sit since she looked so upset and she said yeah but only in the corner whatever we were just hungry. I know Peruvian food I've been working around Peruvian food for three years . If a place that's supposedly Peruvian can't make a decent lomo saltado it's not Peruvian at all. This was by far the worst lomo I've ever tasted it had no flavor was cold undercooked and looked so gross . The rice they served it with was obviously old. The salchipapas we got literally looked like they were fried and dropped on the plate no salt no nothing added. It was horrible . I asked for a green tea and one of the trolls was like no the machine is off already like I said its 8 there is no reason for that. Whatever I got some water . When the waitress took our order I said thank you when she brought our drinks I said thank you when she brought the food out I said thank you , either this bitch is mute or she was just being rude .. The worst part is they were putting the chairs on the other tables up and mopping the floors already while we were waiting and trying to consume what they call food and commenting on how they still had one table giving us dirty looks which pissed me off because like I said we were there an hour before closing not 5 minuets before. We were there at 8 we waited 10 minuets for someone to come take our order 10 minuets for the food to come out and we left this place at 8:30 because that food was gross that service was horrible and I was pissed . If you're ever in this neighborhood like me and pass this place by chance like me keep walking this is just disgusting the service and food. Si pasas por este lugar pásalo de largo esta comida es asquerosa y él servicios peor viejas creidas y malhumoradas que no saben que viven de propinas así ni les doy un dóllar . Y les digo que esta comida no es peruana para nada . read more

Let's ignore the take-out only vibe and the dining hall style decor/seating in this place. That doesn't matter because the price/flavor profile is more than enough to make this place worth it. I visited the first time recently with my husband, having previously only experienced Peruvian food at the Northern Blvd crowded behemoth, Pio Pio. So it was nice to be able to sit down and eat this kind of food minus the stressful setting with lines out the door that is the standard at Pio Pio (and I still have no idea why). Chicken was flavorful, the garlic sauce was very tasty and the accompanying yucca frita and fried rice were nice too. We had dinner for 2 and leftovers for lunch the next day for $25, can't complain. A good place to get your fix if you're specifically craving Peruvian-style roast chicken. read more

5 starsss. I thought I rated this place already but I didn't . Having been here atleast 15 times over the years since it's opening, this is probably the only highly consistent restaurant. The rotisserie like others mentioned is deserving of it's 5 star rating on it's own . What more can be said other than the chicken is down right perfect. Add some of that green sauce and wow. To make matters even better, the frickin rice and beans, fried yuca and plantains are downright superbbbbbb also. The other things I tried in this restaurant are the sweet and sour chicken which I think is over cooked and slightly chewy and the italian chicken entree which I can't say ANYTHING kind about . I'd like this restaurant to get better with it's salad. Although its simple and taste good with the french dressing sauce , they can add more to it like avocados and carrots etc and also come up with another entree every month or so because i doubt many people buy that italian chicken entree. Based on the merit of their rotisserie chicken I gotta give this place 5 stars. P.s. Chicken is better eaten asap after purchase. read more
