We offer a wide variety of dishes from Peru, Venezuela, and other Latin American countries, all grilled to perfection over wood-charcoal. Our chickens are marinated in our signature blend of spices, and our meats are cooked to juicy perfection. We also have a variety of vegetarian and vegan options.

Very good food in general, great flavor, the mojo that they put on the exquisite chicken and rice with corn very good, also everything freshly made. The place is clean and looks very beautiful. Her very attentive, professional dependents, Lizzy attended us, very nice.

We ordered the rotisserie chicken expecting the classic Venezuelan-style flavor, and it was quite good. However, the mojo sauce, which was described as Venezuelan, felt a bit distant from the original. There’s another restaurant in Miami that captures that authentic taste more closely, though this one remains a solid option overall.
The atmosphere is very pleasant, and the restaurant itself is beautifully designed. Our waiter, Luis, provided excellent service—he was attentive, clearly explained the menu and the process, and was genuinely helpful throughout our meal.
As an appetizer, we tried the pork belly. Like in many “polleras,” the fatty part wasn’t crispy; it was simply pan-cooked on both sides. It wasn’t particularly worth it for the portion and the price.
On the brighter side, the shredded salad was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The fried yuca was also excellent, especially when paired with the guasacaca that Luis kindly brought us upon request.
Luis also recommended a great Tempranillo wine, which paired beautifully with our meal.
Overall, Dando La Brasa is a very good place to eat, offering a wide variety of dishes. I specifically came for the chicken to relive the traditional Venezuelan “pollera” experience, and while it’s not exactly the same, it was still quite enjoyable. The wait time on a Saturday at noon was about ten minutes, which I found perfectly reasonable.

I found Dando la Brasa to be a very interesting and well-executed restaurant, especially appealing for lunch. We opted for the midday menu, which I strongly recommend for its excellent value for money.
To start, we enjoyed a quarter rotisserie chicken, perfectly cooked and juicy, served with white rice, black beans, and a flavorful Peruvian-style chicken mojo. We also added a soup, which was comforting and genuinely very good—an ideal complement to the meal.
We then tried the socarrat with chicken, accompanied by maduros and cheese. The dish was satisfying and well balanced, offering hearty flavors without feeling heavy.
To drink, we had Estrella Damm Inedit, the beer created by Ferran Adrià, which paired beautifully with the food and was, quite simply, delicious.
Overall, the service was warm and attentive, with the added comfort of being assisted in Spanish, which made the experience even more pleasant. I also recommend noting the convenient parking, a real plus in Miami.

Amazing Latin American foods! We tried garlic chicken wings and the sauce was bravos! Picanha services two sides, grilled Vegi & white rice with choclo, believe it or not I’m an Asian & I can tell you that rice cooked extremely well, fluffy smoky flavor!! Every bite you taste on the dishes, it filled with wood charcoal taste, so amazingly delicious!!!

Excellent drinks and food. We enjoyed the croquetas, ceviche traditional, pollo a la brasa y arroz con choclo. We also loved the guayabana (soursop) and Cocolemonade. Would definitely come again and recommend you include in your next visit to the area. Luis provided excellent recommendations and customer service.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The food was flavorful and well-prepared, truly satisfying my taste buds. The service was fantastic—Mariangela was especially professional, attentive to detail, and provided excellent customer care. The establishment was clean and inviting, creating a pleasant dining environment. Initially, the music volume was quite high, but when I mentioned it, they quickly lowered it, which contributed positively to the ambiance. Overall, I highly recommend this place for a great meal and attentive service.

The chicken was absolutely delicious and bursting with flavor, making it a true highlight of our meal. The chicharrón starter was magnificent, perfectly crispy and rich. Our waitress Juliana was very attentive and incredibly kind, always making sure we were comfortable. The overall experience was fantastic—definitely a place to return and recommend to others.

This places owes us absolutely nothing. The smell of the chicken fills your nose as you enter the establishment. We were seated quickly and never left unattended by our absolutely amazing server Angie! I opted for the garlic mojo for my chicken which was exceptional! The only chicken I’ve tasted that compares was during my time in Cali Colombia!
The flavor bomb that is the chicken lasagna, was insane!!
If ever you have the opportunity to dine here, by all means, do so!
