Brasa Bros serves satisfying, fast-casual Peruvian chicken - Review - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"The team behind Limón has opened Brasa Bros in the Mission. Just like Limón, you’re here for Peruvian rotisserie chicken, but this younger sibling has ditched the sit-down format for something fast-casual. Order on a tablet, find a seat, and let chicken in your preferred form come to you on a tray (or if you opt for the 15-tender combo, a bucket). The titular pollo a la brasa arrives glossy-skinned and the meat pulls right off the bone, but the tenders should also be a contender for your main—they’re plump, crispy, and ideal for dunking in aji amarillo, the spicy Pica Loco, or the slightly sweet Brasa Bliss sauce. This place works well for a low-effort weeknight dinner with kids in tow, or a pre-picnic haul if you need chicken tenders en masse. video credit: Julia Chen photo credit: Brasa Bros Pause Unmute Food Rundown Clásico Brasa We like this slow-roasted chicken with dark meat—it’s tender, and the skin delivers a salty-fatty punch. Order it with caramelized plantains on the side. PlayMute video credit: Julia Chen Tenders The tenders are a hit. They’re juicy, make an audible crunch, and pair well with the Brasa Bliss sauce (or any of the sauces, for that matter). You can order these as a two- or three-piece combo, or by the bucket. PlayMute video credit: Julia Chen Crispy Sandwich An airbrushed bun, fried chicken, and the requisite slaw and pickles. We wish there was a bit more sauce, but it’s still satisfying. PlayMute video credit: Julia Chen Fries How much you like these depends on how you feel about In-N-Out fries—they’re just like them, but thicker. Bros Garden Chicken Add a chopped-up piece of fried chicken to any salad and it’s better, we don’t make the rules. The romaine, tomatoes, and roasted corn are just fine, but if you insist on having greens today, this will do the trick. PlayMute video credit: Julia Chen" - Julia Chen

Delicious new chicken spot. Serving size is plentiful. The chicken is tender and crispy at the same time. Their fried rice is classic takeout style flavor. Their chicken sandwich on brioche bun is muy rico!!

Great new fast casual Peruvian spot, never mind the negative reviews here they just can’t handle the salt or flavor. It’s on point, def get a pollo a la brasa to start, duh. The chicha morada and passionfruit lemonade also hit. Plantains weren’t the best but not bad. Overall great new addition to SF!

The food was so awesome. One of the best chicken spots I actually have tasted. I don't think I could ever eat rotisserie chicken the same, the sauce, the juicy...

I got the rotisserie chicken and the fried chicken strips. Both were pretty dry. The service was extremely fast, and the restaurant is very clean and modern. I don't think I would go back.

Maybe the music is too loud but messed up my order, slow service, had to get something else made and I said, “ok I’ll be right back to pick it up” and they didn’t make my order and had refunded me. Now I won’t have that money for a couple of days and don’t get to eat. Never going there again- super disappointing and overpriced for what looks like fast food. Better off at Apollo Campero or other local Peruvian spots.

Walked down here at suggestion of Mayor Lurie. Wish I could review higher. Not a warm and fuzzy place. Staff not especially friendly, perhaps language barrier. Not getting good vibes. Space age modern with austere furnishings.I was doing takeout so did not test chair/table eating. Clasico Brasa including whole chicken nicely chopped ,fries, sauces and a very nice looking s green salad which i have not tried. 35.79 $$ Chicken was dry !!! which means it goes into the compost. Take out food often suffers this fate. I was hoping this might be different. Fries were soggy. I wont repeat but give it a try.We can all help the mayor resurrect san francisco!!

As a Peruano, I can 100% say this place is LEGIT!! Hella good chicken, great yuca fries and the true test of their Peruvian/ness…they’re rocking some legit arroz chaufa!

I ordered on line and my food was ready for pick up in 20 minutes. I ordered two whole classic Pollo a la Brasa with fries and salad. It was delicious. Happy with the service too. Ordering again soon Thank you.

Would go back when in SF! They had fast service and clean bathrooms. I ordered the MONSTRITO. Which is your choice of 1/4 white or dark meat, fried rice and fries. It also comes with a side of Ají Amarillo which is not spicy and a nice flavor to it. The chicken was good! Fries were amazing! I will be sure to bring my Peruvian relatives here!

welcome to the neighborhood, Brasa Bros! Brasa Bros is my new go-to spot for crispy, juicy chicken tenders! (Because that's the only thing I've tried so far...very excited to try everything else on the menu). The tenders are perfectly fried with a crunchy coating and tender meat inside - seriously addicting. The fries are golden, hot, and actually stay crispy (huge win!). The real star here might be the dips - don't miss the garlic aioli and spicy chimichurri; they take everything to the next level. Friendly service and fast turnaround make it even better. Can't wait to go back and try more!

Finally, a spot that delivers when you're craving fried or rotisserie chicken done right. Brasa Bros nails it with A1 service, a spotless dining area, and plenty of seating for groups. The vibe is lively too, with upbeat Latin music playing in the background that makes the experience even better. Before you even walk in, the bold, colorful mural outside sets the tone and matches the vibrant flavors inside. I ordered the ¼ rotisserie chicken with sweet potato fries and slaw, plus a chicken tender on the side just to see what the hype was about. Everything comes with a trio of house-made sauces: -Brasa Bliss (orange): sweet meets savory in the best way. -Aji Amarillo (yellow): tangy, zesty, and finger-licking good. -Pica Loco (green): savory with just the right kick of heat. The rotisserie chicken was juicy and packed with flavor. The sweet potato fries were crispy and cooked just right. The slaw was tasty but a little heavy on the dressing for my preference, so I'd give it a 3 out of 5. Brasa Bros is perfect for a quick lunch, a casual dinner, or takeout to enjoy at home or in a nearby park. I will definitely be back to try the chicken salad next time.

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. M E N U 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. F O O D * 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! S E R V I C E Friendly and prompt (order at the counter or two kiosks). No line since we visited at off peak hours. A M B I A N C E Bright and eye-catching, you can't miss the storefront when driving through SVN. About a dozen tables inside with 4 sidewalk tables. P A R K I N G 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!

I wish I took a picture of the combo but it was so chaotic on the opening night & it was totally worth it. I waited about an hour during opening night for their $1 combo of fried chicken + fries. As a new establishment, I thought they were very organized in the way they handled the long line & wait. By the time we got to the counter, we were immediately handed food, so they chefs were working quickly. We brought the take out combos home & gave it a try. The fried chicken was very crispy and juicy and the fries were delicious, in my opinion. The fries were like thick cut steak fries that most were crunchy on outside and soft on the inside but there were definitely ones that weren't crispy (which I like). The sauce that was given to us tasted very similar to chick fila and I'm so glad there is a place nearby now. I thought about getting a bucket and definitely will have to try it the next time I venture to brasa bros!

Like the new casual dine in concept versus the former Limon. Love Limon But loving a renewed focus on chicken items as a lot of times, people go to a Limon just for the chicken so this was definitely a positive change. The rotisserie chicken is really good. Flavorful and juicy. Crispy on the wings and skin. The sauces are a must have, get all 3. Wishes the sweet potato fries could be crispy...they didn't have bite...service is 1000%. The ladies checked on us consistently. The arroz chaufa sooooo good. Def coming back...

The food was so awesome. One of the best chicken spots I actually have tasted. I don't think I could ever eat rotisserie chicken the same, the sauce, the juicy chicken completes it all. The rice was perfect and fries finished it off well. The service was great, we got it for here but got takeout bags instead which was ok because we ended up taking it home. Ambiance was pretty chill wasn't anything too fancy more of a takeout or eat in fast food type of vibe. Definitely would recommend!

I went on opening day but before they had their special. I'm Peruvian so wanted to try the chicken and it was delicious. The ajis were good flavor but not spicy maybe the green one a little. Unfortunately I've had better arroz chaufa but they my opinion. Plátanos were good. Both fries were good. So was chicha. There are seats inside and outside as well. Very clean and nice. Parking is hard. The cashier was helpful since it was first time visiting. Definitely going back

Super dry, salty, and hastily chopped up chicken. Safeway is better than this. I ordered to go and got a bucket of thrashed chicken pieces that were dry, super salty, and bad all around. That's really too bad considering how great limon used to be.

This place is better than Limon! I was never a huge fan before, but this place is way better. The fried rice is yummy, the crispy chicken in the salad is tender and tasty, and the half chicken was lovely. Best chicken in SF? No. But a solid meal with a great atmosphere, and the kids crushed.

For the price I got salty unidentifiable pieces of what was supposed to be half a chicken. I would expect to get a thigh, leg, half the breast and a wing. I could not find the thigh. The leg was basically cut in half. I got yucca and arroz chaufa as my sides. The yucca was passable. But the fried rice was an oily tasteless mess. I also had to pay separate for the aji amarillo sauce. I paid $2.50 for the sauce and it was not enough for the yucca and the half chicken. What a joke. I am Peruvian... the value to cost ratio is just not there: like most of Limon's menu. I cannot recommend. Treat your customers with respect. This food is not cheap. I predict you will be out of business in a year when the gringos figure out they can get the same thing at the supermarket and just buy a jar of aji amarillo.

Really good chicken juicy and flavorful! The service was excellent! And the ambiance have a great Peruvian vibe!

I came here for their grand opening and tried the $1 tender combo. It came with their signature Brasa Bliss sauce, which was rich, flavorful, and perfect with the crispy chicken. Even though the place was packed, the food still came out hot, fresh, and juicy -- like it had just come out of the fryer. The staff were welcoming and kind, which made the experience even better. I also had their Lagarta cerveza, which was smooth and refreshing. I thought it was really cool that the owners also created the beer brand -- and we learned they're the same team behind Limón in SF, with this being their new Peruvian fusion concept. While we ate, DJ Devere played great music and kept the energy up. The atmosphere, food, and music all came together seamlessly, making it such an enjoyable visit. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try the rotisserie chicken and loaded fries to explore more of the flavors this place has to offer.

Great new fast casual Peruvian spot in the mission. Ordered the half chicken with the chaufa and fries on the side. Also two tenders and all the yummy sauces. Chicken was flavorful and moist. Can't wait to go back and order other items on the menu.

The pollo a la brasa was really good and the aji amarillo tasted just like the ones they make in Peru! The chaufa rice tho is not at all peruvian, not even a little. Peruvian arroz chaufa tastes and has completely different things in it, I'd advice to check on the original recipe just so the place is 100% peruvian for sure.

Delicious! Got the half chicken and two sides and all of it was very good, especially the sauce! Will be coming back!

So this "new place" taste like Limón disgusting chicken. Besides paying 28 dollars for half of undercook chicken, the service is as bad as the food. More like Peruvian chicken, it taste like curry chicken. Over salted, undercook, over priced and lame costumer service. Save your money, time and go somewhere else. Trust me, YOU'LL GET VERY disappointed with the taste of this extremely expensive chicken

Incredible service! Everyone was so welcoming and kind. Food was fresh and really good. Everything was clean and the music they were playing was great. I'm definitely going back!
