For months, Brasa Bros has been going hella hard on promoting and hyping the opening of their new shop.
After all the teasing like the self-proclaimed "Carrie Bradshaw of San Francisco", today is the day!
The owners (three brothers) of Limón have rebranded their SVN location into a fast-casual chicken shop.
Open for takeout, indoor dining, and outdoor dining.

Specialty: Pollo a la brasa - Peruvian rotisserie chicken. They also have salads, chicken tenders, loaded fries, and sides. Sauces available by the jar for purchase. Beer and sangria available.
FYI, their $1 tender combo deal is from 5 pm - 7 pm today only. You have to take a selfie with their chicken mascot, post it on IG, and you'll receive a voucher.
Visited for a late lunch.

* Whole Pollo A la Brasa w/ choice of two sides ($34.95)
Marinated with aromatic herbs and spices, the chicken is cooked over an open flame. The skin is slightly crispy and the meat is juicy except the breast that's dry. Not too salty which I appreciate. If you've had Limón's signature rotisserie chicken, it's the same thing. Served with a side of their creamy, tangy ají amarillo sauce.
For sides, we choose their savory arroz chaufa (fried rice) and crunchy yuca fries. Wished they had tacu tacu (pan-fried rice and beans) on the menu.
* Side: Two Chicken Tenders ($5.95 x2)
- Brasa Bliss Sauce ($2.50)
Hot and crunchy with a flaky crumb batter. Compared to the pollo a la brasa breast, the tender was moist. The brasa bliss sauce was delicious, low-key reminds me of a creamy honey mustard.
But, $5.95 per a tender with no sauce included is steep!

Friendly and prompt (order at the counter or two kiosks). No line since we visited at off peak hours.

Bright and eye-catching, you can't miss the storefront when driving through SVN. About a dozen tables inside with 4 sidewalk tables.

Difficult street parking.
Overall, solid pollo a la brasa and a good option for those who eat at weird hours since they're open all day!
