I went there for Peruvian food and I get something different the change came with zucchini and purple cabbage and sweet corn. I saw the many before I came and everything it’s different they have to deleted because they confused the costumers. I ask to the lady about the food and she don’t know anything, she don’t know about the sauces what they are. The chicha beverage also it’s so expensive two drinks it’s the same to get an entree. The chicken was ok but the rest was so bad we got plantains and they were black try change the details thank you. And don’t call Peruvian food what you serve on your restaurant.

Amazing Peruvian chicken. We order pickup and eat at home – solo chicken if you got veg ready. The chicken with sides if not. It’s hard not to order the sizable chicken empanadas. The yellow sauce is amazing! Also love the yucca fries, but now the kids eat ’em all so if we order we have to get 2! Personal fave sauces: the green spicy and the chimichurri!

This is for the food truck.
Lady who serve us was lovely, sweet, and kind. Only stopped to get empanadas and a drink. The empanadas were flavorful and huge! They were not stingy with the sauce either.
Next time, we’ll visit the actual restaurant. They weren’t opened until noon the next day and we were already leaving town before then.

Let me start off by saying that this is one of the best restaurants a person can go too. This truly is my safe place and reminds me of what having a family was like! The menu setup is amazing where you order family meal style and everyone shares portions of the meal and it’s so dang delicious! The chicken is to die for and the sides are absolutely ridiculous. You really cannot go wrong with anything you get here and the price is so amazing! If you are ever considering this place do yourself a favor and just go:)

The food here was very good and while the prices are a little high, the entrées seem like they’re reliably two solid meals. My chicken was moist and well seasoned, the beans were extremely tasty.
The restaurant is bright and pretty visually interesting, but the vibe is distinctly unromantic, which is sometimes a vibe that you want. Overall, I would be back! And I would bring friends who like good food.

Peruvian food is in my top two favorite cuisines.
We ordered on DoorDash for pickup and the food was ready in the estimated time, quick pickup with an empty restaurant at 1130am Saturday. I found the man to be quick and helpful in coming out to greet me.
Brazas empanada $5.75 – really expensive for just one. In the picture on DoorDash it has 2 empanadas so I thought we were getting 2. The flavor was good especially with the sauces. Probably wouldn’t get here again though.
Peruvian fried rice $7.20 – good portions definitely different fried rice than I ever tasted. Not used to this flavor, not bad not great, decent. And I’ve had so many arroz chaufas in my life. Would finish eating, but wouldn’t get again.
Cuarto – pollo a la brasa with sweet plantains $13.80 portions were small and white chicken unfortunately was extremely dry, lacked any moisture in the chicken. It’s the moist disappointing part because Peruvian chicken is SUPPOSED to be some of the most moist you will ever eat. This chicken lacked that, I found it really difficult to finish but I kept at it. The flavor was only in the skin very salty and peppery. White meat doesn’t need to be dry and that’s why I find this to be no excuse especially for charging $13.80 for 1/4 of a piece of chicken. Portions for this were just sad if you look at the picture.
The plantain was good just the way it’s supposed to be.
Pineapple Fresca – $6.90 good not the best but good. We wished there was more natural juices available.
Polli-papas – $11.50 chicken and fries were just okay it really wasn’t anything special. Refer to picture, it tastes exactly how it it looks.
The chimmichuri sauce, brazas red sauce, white sauce, and brazas green sauce were all really great it was the best part of the meal. The second would be the plantains and the juice, but unfortunately the main dishes were extremely disappointing.
Parking is metered on south street. We’re avid food eaters and are disappointed we couldn’t add this to our list. For a total of $48.50 the meal was just not worth it. 2.5/5 unfortunately leaning towards 2 because the main dishes didn’t live up to Peruvian standards.

Great food, authentic Peruvian taste and amazing service! We got the Lomo Saltado (steak stir fry) and the Half Chicken with Chaufa rice – both were absolutely delicious and the same taste as we had in Cuzco and Arequipa. They serve Inca Cola and Chicha Morada (purple corn drink) too if you want to try a new beverage. Great place, glad to find this hidden gem on South Street – wish they add Ceviche to the menu soon

Bangin chicken! This place is delicious. We get takeout from here frequently. The sauces for the chicken are amazing. I could eat an entire chicken. Salad is always fresh. Sides are yummy….but that chicken…so so good.

This is perhaps a great place but they may be understaffed and overworked. The service was forgetful (forget to bring sauces, didn’t ask me whether I would like to drink anything) the server was nervous, overworked and was arguing with this person who, I figure, seems to be the owner. Hence, my lunch experience was subpar. The chicken was okay, the rice was okay but the atmosphere of the place affects how things taste I guess. Hence I wouldn’t go to this place again or recommend it to others. There is a nice small taqueria one block later. Not the same food of course but at least one doesn’t feel stressed while eating and the service is better .

A neighbor posted about a new Peruvian restaurant with delicious food and wonderful service, so I got some friends together to try it out: so glad that we did!
Carmen was a wonderful host and took us through the menu. As usual, we wanted to try as much as possible, so we ordered two half chickens* (which came with all the sauces and two garden salads), two Brazas Empanadas (Aji de Gallina – pulled chicken, Peruvian pepper, cheese sauce), Yuquitas a al Huancaina (crispy yuca and Huancaina dipping sauce), Chaufa (Peruvian fried rice), Maduros (sweet plantains), Macaroni a la Huancaina, and Chicha Morada (Peruvian purple corn drink) and Pineapple Jugo Fresco all around.
The Brazas Empanadas are original to the chef at Brazas, and, as Carmen suggested, best eaten immediately so they’re piping hot and the cheese is gooey!
Everything was perfectly cooked: the chicken was tender and well-seasoned, the Yuquitas were extra crispy, and the Maduros were sweet and slightly crispy.
Both the Chaufa and the Macaroni a la Huancaina were spins on what your taste buds might expect from fried rice or macaroni–note, the macaroni was more of a macaroni salad than a mac’n’cheese.
And the salad was refreshing–especially when mixed with the Peruvian Olive Mayo dipping sauce! Speaking of dipping sauces, my favorite was the Brazas Green Sauce (Medium). Second favorite was the Brazas Rocoto Red Sauce (Hot). The other sauces were also tasty, but I just couldn’t stay away from the Brazas Green Sauce, which went well with the Chicha Morada, which wasn’t overly sweet, and was certainly a deep purple color.
We capped off the meal with an order of Tres Leches and an order of Flan–both were yummy.
Brazas has plenty of seating for parties of various sizes, and was fulfilling quite a lot of takeout orders, but the chef brought some dishes out himself and Carmen checked in on us periodically. Will definitely return!
*It was so tasty, that some in our party wound up placing another order to bring home to the rest of her family!
