Brasas

An unfortunate event. I went with high expectations. I dont think the chef cooked that day, but he did stop by and said hi and hope that day was just an off day. We ordered the tallarin de haucaina with beef lomo saltado. It was very overpriced. I think it was $25. We ordered arroz chaufa which basically fried rice. This fried rice was basically done just with soy sauce was very disgusting and just salty. The tallarin huacaina was so watered down, not creamy and the lomo saltado had more tomatoes then anything that over powered the dish. Plus the meat was so tough and flavorless. Was very disappointed and overpriced. I was left with my craving not satisfied so I had to make it at home instead. The only thing we enjoyed was the salchi papas and the chicha morada. I wanted to give it another

Really delicious food! I highly recommend you pay this place a visit. I loved the menu options, very refreshing. I ordered the half chicken with some fries and platanos. The chicken was super juicy. The chicken skin was perfectly crispy as well, very flavorful too. The sauces it came with were delicious. They gave me a green and red sauce, i recommend both. None were spicy, but they gave the chicken a great flavor. plantains are one of my favorite foods so I was excited to see them as a side for the chicken. They were sweet and delicious . I got full off of my order, feel like it’s well served. My brother got the aji Amarillo, he absolutely loved it. He said it was very flavorful and the rice was also delicious. For our drinks, we decided to try the chicha morada. It was so refreshing an

We had the Tallarines a la Huancaína with Ribeye and the Ají de Gallina. Both dishes were very good. The staff clearly explained the menu, which helped since we’re not very familiar with Peruvian food. Next time we plan to try their specialties—ceviche and rotisserie chicken.

We desperately need more variety and Brasas is bringing it to the RGV. I ordered the rotisserie chicken with three sides; fried plaintains, fries and mixed rice & beans. The chicken was tender, juicy and well seasoned. Their ají, which is a traditional type of dipping sauce made with varying degrees of heat were delicious. I had the mild Ají Amarillo (yellow pepper) and the spicy Ají Rojo (red pepper), both were delicious and I dipped both my chicken and my fries in them. To drink, we had the chicha morada, a beverage made using purple corn, clove, cinnamon and lemon and the maracuyá or passion fruit. As someone who has had Peruvian before (and loves it!), this was an excellent and authentic experience. My one and only complaint was that they did not have picarones, a traditional Peruvian

Food is delicious! If you want to try authentic Peruvian food- this is the place. Chef Efren has a great attention to detail. Equipment is imported from Peru to get that authentic taste. The ceviche is legit.
