My supervisor recommended this spot. There are lot of great chicken spots like Chicken Maison but there's a reason why this spot is on the Michelin-Guide AMBIANCE Parking: Small parking lot (5 cars) and then all is street parking. Seating: No-frills setup but good art to feel like you're in Peru. Good for small groups, inside seating for about 20 people. Vibes: Welcome to Gardena! Nothing flashy of mainstream LA but you can appreciate its local charm. Very much a local, no-hype spot. You walk in, smell the chicken roasting, and already know what you're getting into. It's all about the food here. FOOD / DRINKS: 2 Piece Chicken & 2 Sides (Recommend) This is the main event. Juicy, well-seasoned, and that rotisserie flavor really comes through. Pollo a la brasa is a Peruvian staple known for its roasted, marinated chicken cooked over heat for that smoky flavor --and this delivers on that expectation. Signature aji sauce - garlic, peppers, lime, cilantro. The beans were hearty and filling, and the coleslaw helped balance out the richness of the chicken. Finally the tortilla provided nice savory and comforting flavors. Nothing overly fancy, but they do the job well. Chicha Morada (Recommend) Refreshing and slightly sweet--perfect to wash everything down. It's a traditional Peruvian drink made from purple corn with fruit and spices, giving it that unique flavor. CUSTOMER SERVICE Straightforward and efficient. Gets the job done. TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. Awesome! Good food, reasonable prices and a pleasant experience. It's a solid spot for Peruvian rotisserie chicken. Nothing fancy, but that's the appeal-- straight to the food. If you're looking for some Peruvian flavors, this is your spot. TIPS: * OG Location * Don't skip the chicha morada read more

Pollo Ala Brasa - Wooo! - Peruvian Near Me - Gardena, California

I have pass this place so many times and never even considered stopping here until at a UYE, Alana M. stated to me that this chicken is so delicious, and she was absolutely right. There is a small place with a small parking lot, about four parking spaces with one handicap space. You ordered your food at one window and pay at another window, we ordered the chicken combo which came with two pieces of the grilled fire roasted chicken a salad and some fresh cut fries, the chicken was so flavorful juicy and crispy skin, most of the crowded called in their order to pick up, all of the staff were nice and friendly too. read more

Pollo Ala Brasa - The wood for the oven right outside their door - Peruvian Near Me - Gardena, California

Sad and disappointed is all we have to say. We were so excited to try this place from all the hype online. We got in and ordered and as we were waiting we looked down and saw a roach walking towards us. I just couldn't stomach staying not knowing if there were more in the kitchen. My husband went up to cancel the order and the manager didn't say anything when my husband told them why. I'm sure the chicken is as good as everyone says it is but for now I'd skip out on it. read more

Decided to raise my rating because the chicken always delivers, juicy, flavorful, and never dry. Yes, they've made a mistake before, but it only happened once, thankfully. Even during their busy lunch rush, they manage to serve customers in under 10 minutes, which is impressive. The only downside is the limited parking. There's a nearby grocery store parking lot you can use, but it's at your own risk. Also, if you walk in while they're grilling more chicken, be prepared to smell like smoke for the rest of the day! The dining area is small and casual. You order near the entrance where you can watch the chicken cooking, and you pick up your food at the opposite end, which is also the takeout area. read more

Please let your customers know when you run out of food. You make them wait only to tell them there is no more food or service

It's been about 14yrs since last stopping through and grabbing a whole chicken. Literally was heading away from town when ai thought of dinner plans and got off the freeway and doubled back. Smoked Pollo Rotisserie Burritos it is. From the moment ai pulled up, the aroma filled the air (literally taking me back to familiar times) outside and ai was very optimistic and thoroughly encouraged that quality and flavor remained the same. Was making Chicken Burritos, Black Beans and Rice, Sautéed Peppers and Onions with this smoky flavorful chicken. Cannot express enough how delicious my dinner turned out last night and ran it back (for seconds) for lunch today. Plenty of smoke flavor. Tender succulent well cooked and worth the U-Turn. Use to come by somewhat regularly back in the day. Surely will resume my frequency from this point on. Gracias Pollo Ala Brasa and Staff for a great meal experience. You hands down have the Best Rotisserie Chickens EVER! read more

The roasted chicken at this place is amazing. The chicken is very tender and juicy and the aji sauce is very flavorful and juicy. I ordered the half chicken with fries and salad. The salad had beets that was good. The fries were also good. My friend got rice and commented that it was a bit dry. They also have antitcucho (beef hearts) as an item. The staff was very nice and helpful in cleaning the tables and getting out order, food and amenities. The space is a bit small with 5 tables max and parking is very limited. But overall great spot to get some Peruvian chicken. read more

Pollo Ala Brasa - Half chicken with fries and salad - Peruvian Near Me - Gardena, California

Sundays best! A quote I often heard growing up, so when it's Sunday and you need to eat after your activities, this is a pillar of Sundays best! The first spot that contains not only the best grilled chicken but with side orders and the prices continue to remain the same! The ambiance is quiet and humble, with a delicate touch of woodsy feel. Love getting here and spanking some wood and saying "this is some good wood to cook with ". The parking is limited but I always park in front of the wood and you're good . I paid a total of $35 for everything in the picture and it was the best! Come down and try the Sundays best chicken. The food speaks for it self. The customer service is great! 10/10. Forgetboutit, the other chicken spot and try this! read more

Came here after first trying the location in Koreatown and it did not disappoint yet again. Just as good or even better (because of a semi decent parking situation) than their sister location. Chicken was smoky and the green sauce was as bright and spicy as last time. As a bonus their passion fruit drink was absolutely amazing and I would go there just to buy that on its own! read more

Very small place. Parking for maybe 3 cars. The chicken cooked with real firewood is delicious!!!! Cooked to perfection. It almost falls off the bone.

Authentic Peruvian chicken. Whole chicken plate with crispy fries and their special spicy green sauce. Will be back.

Bought a whole chicken combo today. Chicken was tasty but way overpriced. Aji good. French fries were soggy and greasy - terrible. I threw them all away. Not worth the trip. read more

Pollo Ala Brasa ) is a dive that serves up some of the best wood burning Peruvian rotisserie chicken I have eaten. The wood they use for their rotisserie is piled up outside the restaurant and appears to be locally sourced. We were lucky to sit at one of their 6 tables. You order at the order and pick up your food at the counter. We ordered 1/2 chicken( their Aji Verde sauce comes with each order) coleslaw and fries. When we got our order, I was looking at the crispy golden chicken with the juice dripping and the smell was so succulent- I didn't take a picture I just went face down, it was so so flavorful, juicy, tender. I dipped my fries and the Aji Verde sauce, the Peruvian chicken needed - NOTHING!! read more

Great quaint little spot for the best authentic Peruvian pollo a la brasa. Their chicha taste authentic and home made. Not like the bottled. Their aji sauce is not for the faint of heart, spicy and great compliment to their sides. Been coming for years, and will continue to. read more

Some of the best & tastiest Peruvian Rotisserie chimkin in LA. Sides are good, and the Aji Verde sauce pretty much taste like magic. Ask of pay for extra green sauce, I use mine generously. Service is always quick since chicken is made through out the day. Expect a line if you are going during lunch-rush or dinner. Place is small, but you get the bonus points of smelling the chicken form like a block away haha Area is sketchy, kinda hood so it is what it is. read more

Ordered take out by phone took me about 10 minutes to walk there and my food was ready. People there were busy and I can see why. The chicken I ordered is delicious. What wood they were using to cook them chicken it made it 3 times more flavor than the gas flames version. This place don't have a big selection (who cares?) On the menu but one of these days I'm going to try their beef saltado read more

This place is so good. Fast service (most of the time) and staff is friendly. Their roasted chickens is the main item I've tried and tastes great all the time. So many side options too which is great. I would definitely recommend to everyone. You can also order ahead and avoid any wait you have if you just walk in. Parking is a bit rough as they only have a few spots but still not a big issue most of the time. read more
