Las Brasas Charcoal Chicken

Today is February 22, 2026. I just recently left the restaurant approximately around 1:50p. The sign on the door says that they are open at 11 AM every day Monday through Sunday. However, This is the second time in a row that I have come to this Restaurant where the doors are locked. The previous time me and my wife had planned to eat there, Today we had both already placed our orders through a third-party website where it was already paid for. We waited about 10 minutes and saw a young man walk up to the Restaurant and he also tried to get in, when he tried to open the door, the doors were still locked. We drove off because We both had to be at work at a certain time. I understand if they’re short-staffed, but don’t allow people to place And pay for an order if you have no intention of having it prepared at the time stated. It’s a shame because the food is actually very good, but we will no longer Give our business to this establishment anymore And we will pass the word along to all of our friends and family who also come here. If they keep This up, I wouldn’t be surprised if they go out of business. They obviously don’t know how to run a business at all Based on the other comments

🔥 Las Brasas Charcoal Chicken — Still the GOAT 🔥 Just had dinner here again and man… this place never misses. I ordered the Tallarín Saltado, fried plantains, and seasoned potatoes — and every bite was 🔥. The flavors were on point, the ingredients fresh, and the portions generous. Las Brasas doesn’t just serve food — they serve consistency, quality, and that “damn, I need to come back” feeling. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re sleeping. Highly recommended!!!

Loved this! Got 1/2 dark chicken plus cilantro rice and potato’s as my sides

The food was great!! Got chicken, potatoes, chaufa rice and plantains. The portions were big; flavor was even bigger. Everything was seasoned to perfection and I was able to split this into 2 meals. This was my first time here and it will not be my last! I can't wait to see what I'll be getting next.

My favorite thing about this place is the consistency, it’s always good & fresh each time. Even when ordered through DoorDash, it’s always fresh and you can tell they use quality ingredients. I called to inquire about a sauce of theirs that I loveee & due to the tariffs it’s causing a lot of delays & inability to get product. They didn’t have to explain that to me but they did; overall a great business to support while also getting your moneys worth!

We placed an order online that said it would be ready in 10 minutes after we drove there they informed us they hadn’t even started cooking the two meals we ordered. After telling us it would take 25 minutes to cook our meals it turned into an hour wait. On top of that I found a piece of plastic in my salad.

I would come all the time using the Too Good To Go app and today was no different. However when I went to pick up my food as the employee was boxing up my food 10 plus roaches of all sizes began to surface. I hate to write this review because I actually enjoy the food here but I cannot eat food knowing there are pests openly running around.

The portions are big. The meat is good and well seasoned. We ordered our meat to be cooked on the well-done side. They cooked it medium, and a big portion of the steak was fat. The noodles were a little salty. The atmosphere was very calm.

I love the food here it definitely gives off a hole in the wall vibe with the fried rice, The plantains are cooked so great. The workers are also very friendly .

. I've visited this restaurant three times now and unfortunately the experience has been consistently underwhelming. The service and communication could definitely be improved; asking basic questions about the menu or looking for guidance felt a bit uncomfortable, as if it was an inconvenience to the staff. During my most recent visit, I was even told my order was "weird," which threw me off. They were also out of sauce, which made a noticeable difference because the rice was pretty dry and really needed that added flavor. Without it, the dish tasted a bit like leftovers. The chicken was cooked well and smelled great, but the flavor didn't quite match the aroma. I really wanted to like this place, and I gave it multiple tries, but the overall experience just hasn't been what I hoped for.

The chicken is PERFECTION! Absolutely delicious, 100% authentic. The sides are more ... hit or miss. But the chicken is fire y'all!!!

Hello! I am updating my review since the last time I came. My last review was from 2019, I used to work in the area and would be a frequent customer for lunch. It was always delicious and the portion sizes were awesome. The salad was always fresh, inside was clean and organized. Usually the service was like chipotle where you order and they take the chicken out right in front of you and give you your sides. Fast forward to 2025--- I came a few times but the last time I came was not the best experience. Now when you order- they pack your food up for you and don't show you the food in front of you. Which is fine but man the portions are smaller now, and the sides are not as fresh. We got the Caesar salad and it tasted so old and the lettuce was all wilted. I had to throw it away. As for the sauces they used to give, they gave us 2 sauces and they were both watered down. I feel like the quality definitely went down here which makes me sad.

I came here to try the food through the App TooGoodToGo where you can get food at a discount. I go inside and tell them how many box I ordered through TooGoodToGo and they start packing the food for me. It is usually an order of the chicken, some rice, beans, and plantain. I would order a drink from them if they have it. It's a nice fast casual restaurant, it's really clean feel and the temperature is good not too cold inside. This place also serve halal food here.

This place, the cooks know how to cook that chicken right. It's cooked with actual coal. Oh lord it tastes GOOD. Their sides are also delicious. Potatoes, veggies, platanos (fried plantains) and let's not forget the rice pilaf! I took my folks there last month, they had just arrived out of town. We walked in very late. The cook was still gracious and served us even though they were behind with orders and had run out of sides due to their customer load that day. We were not disappointed when we got our food. That chicken was spot on and the sides were to die for. My parents can be unusually picky always saying how one thing or the other didn't meet their expectations. Well not this time! They asked if we could go back there before they went back home! Lol!

bruhhhh, I have eaten this on meal prep for the last two weeks. I'll order a family style meal that comes with two whole chickens (they cut it up for you), and 4 sides. Keep in mind, Yucca fries run out fast, potatoes are the number one seller. When you order, they often forget one item. If you are door dashing or ordering online, keep in mind when they run out, you will need to substitute something. You aren't the only one that wants to order here, and they know it. They will call you, and you better pick up! or else your DoorDash driver will sub it for whatever they want. They missed something out of my order like 3x/ now, but im still coming back because that chicken is smacking!!!! The plantains, broooo heavenly! Potatoes - highly recommend, and make sure you get some sauces on the side too!! I like the beans, I think it's flavorful for sure. Am I coming back? Hell yeaaaaaa I am! like next week!

Casual Peruvian chicken joint. Got the mixed 1/2 chicken plate for fries and black beans. Very tasty!!! Chicken cooked perfectly.

I was waiting like 1:30 hr for my food but they never made my order ( call them and they said trynna to call me or something but that's a lie I never received a call from them) and the guy you talked to me I said a lot lies I'm not recommending this place for no reason

I love this place the food is so good. I order take or don't good to go which is a great community builder in itself. The chicken is always so juicy and I love the plantains. They don't typically give plantains for the too good to go but I don't complain. Just get my large plantain and enjoy my day. The owner is very hands on and even gave me a credit when they had a catering job and I had already paid. Have friends come from across town to get the wraps and the grilled beef tender as well. The vibes are very family friendly.

First time going here and slightly disappointed. The steamed vegetables had no seasoning and tasted like they came out of a bag . They had no sauce and the salad they gave me was lettuce with three cucumbers on it . The chicken however was absolutely amazing ! The staff was nice and they were quick to provide me my order so I do appreciate that

Chicken was okay, the food was pretty much sides the half, whole or quarter order of chicken. The flavor from the chicken was decent but not too sure I would drive that distance from downtown area again. The staff seemed busy with several Togo orders so standing in line waiting a while to have my order placed as they were packing and grabbing more food from the line was a slow down

Service not as great but food and extras are good - the chicken are constantly serve - chicken a little dry and not good cause indicate the time was cook - the pico de gallo sauce always complement all the flavors - still a place to go and take out

I was craving rotisserie chicken and saw this place that's close to my house so decided to give them a try. Not sure who all is back there cutting the chicken but The lady that served me, not sure if she was PMs but she definitely didn't want to be back there. Her services was terrible. 1 - these guys don't believe in A/C - it's hot in there 2 - I ordered half chicken with fried yucca and they didn't have any - I had to settle with French fries which it was tasteless 3 - the half chicken I ordered which is breast/wing/thigh and leg was the size of the palm of my hand.. I'm average 5'6 so both pieces were tiny 4 - I just wanted water to drink which they only serve bottled drink and they didn't even have water 5 - their green salsa was the highlight of the entire restaurant. Little runny but had great taste. If I go back, I would just order the green salsa and purchase my chicken but H‑E‑B or krogers

The cashier was a friendly kid, but the food was cold. The cook was on his cell phone all the time I was there, touching his hair and face without washing his hands. The gloves are pointless if employees do not wash their hands. This was my first and last time here.

I had a delicious meal here, enjoying a quarter chicken with fried rice, steamed broccoli/carrots, and plantains. The chicken itself was incredibly flavorful, and I loved the sauce bar they had on the side. The plantains were also a sweet (literally and figuratively) way to end the meal. As others have mentioned, this place is Chipotle-esque cafeteria style, so there is minimal wait time. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for some delicious Peruvian chicken in the area, and I will definitely be back!

Great option for me to switch things up a little on a Thursday. Stopped in around 5 and the place was empty and the staff was welcoming. The place is very spacious and well lite. It's cafeteria style so there's no wait to get your food. I got the 1/4 chicken, rice, veggies and fries. Overall the food was great. I would recommend to anyone for sure.

I found this place years back on Groupon and instantly became a regular. Fast forward to 2025, not the same. I understand what inflation has done to everyone's pocketbooks, but this restaurant looks neglected. Fountain machine does not work, freshly made juice were unavailable, no variety of beverages even in the cooler. The sauces or sauce I should say because only one kind was available. Their chaufa rice was day old rice. This was a complete let down and has left me with the desire to never return. I truly hope that the owner still takes time to visit reviews and makes the necessary changes to keep loyal customers. I decided to give it 3-stars because the chicken was still delicious and flavor packed.

Food is delicious especially the chicken, potatoes, and the plantains!! The service is good and they take great care of us. Highly recommend

The chicken, beans, and rice were all flavorless. So I supplemented the flavor with their 3 sauces which were unlimited since I dined in. I couldn't finish my food, so I asked for a Togo container and togo 2 oz sauce containers. After I spent $25 plus a tip on my entree (for 1), they had the nerve to try to charge me for the to-go sauces containers at the end since I couldn't finish my food there. Something about that irritated my very understanding of the fundamentals of customer service or courtesy. So I gave them the sauces and my left over to go plate to throw all of it away! I will never revisit this place again.

Terrible experience. I ordered a ribeye--no ribeye, no rocoto, no Inca Kola. Got cold, flavorless chopped meat and rice. No traditional Peruvian sauces. Staff was rude and careless. I gave them the benefit of the doubt to support a small business, but this place has gone downhill. Sad to see how they've neglected both the customers and the restaurant. Won't be back.

The first time I tried this place was in 2016 and I remember I wasn't a fan of how dry the chicken was. Today, I decided to give it another try and I'm really glad I did. I ordered the rotisserie chicken with rice & black beans and I really liked it. I wish I would've tried the lomo saltado wrap. The service was nice so I would definitely come back to try different things!

The roasted chicken is dry. Service is kind of slow. I would recommend the arroz chaufa (fried rice)

Honestly, I'm happy they decided to offer halal food to the Houston community, because before them my options for Peruvian food were either my own home or bribing a friend's grandma. Both have their pros and cons, but neither are as easy as being able to order a Lomo Saltado burrito off of UberEats. If you haven't had Peruvian food before, don't read this review and just try it. I always like to talk about service but having only tried them through delivery apps I can't say much other than our orders have been correct and the food is ready when the driver arrives. They have a fairly straightforward menu, and our reigning favorite is their Lomo Saltado burrito which is the best combination of savory meat, different textures, tangy sauce and pure convenience. If it was reasonable I would pick one of these up for lunch every day. Their family platter is the crowd favorite and offers delicious sauces, sides and their flagship roast chicken. It's a great introduction to the cuisine although I find the portion to be a little lacking for the price. If you've reached this point I can only assume you're 1 of 3 people: You've already had Peruvian food before, you haven't but wanted to see what I had to say or you're just a rebel. Either way, go check them out and support a small business!

Very disappointed in "TooGoodtoGo" program. Ordered food from app with the thinking I would get a Surprise bag filled with delicious food as advertised for only me and my wife . Got there around 2pm on Friday and displayed a print of the paid order but, the waitress insisted she see it on my phone. Ok after I guess i proved to her it was legit, she gave me one piece of chicken, one scoop of rice and a scoop of potatoes and handed me the plate with a bad attitude. I walked away thinking wow, Sat in my truck for minute what did I do to deserve this service. So this surprise bag of food is a scam and I will not be back, will tell other to stay away from this location.

The food is . We got the family meal whole chicken with fried plantains, fried rice, steamed vegetables, and French fries. So good . Iykyk.

2 star because they gave decent service. Two issues I had with this place. The first one was where they had a promotion that they should have applied but never did. Being in a hurry, I did not check my receipt. The second issue was that I was charged a few dollars over what my receipt showed. Take a look at the receipt. The charge I received on my card was $30.93 (Yelp is not letting me upload it for some reason). It was a take out, so there was no tip. Although the difference was not big, seems unethical to me that a business would do such a thing.

Decent prices, chicken was grilled and tasty. Rice and beans was a hefty portion. Will have to try the other dishes soon.

Challenge to find CHICKEN. that's my order in today 02/25. It's named chicken fried rice. So does anybody could find any piece of chicken in my order?

I was looking for catering for my sons first bday and came across Las Brasa on Facebook. I contacted the owner Jorge he and he was very nice from the beggining. He actually invited us to his restaurant for a tasting before we booked any catering. When we arrived He was so helpful and he let us try everything he offers for catering, I was more than generous. He is very passionate about his food and you can tell because of how good it is. I can not stress to you how good his food was! Needless to say we went with him for our catering needs and his pricing is very very reasonable especially in these days of high prices. He had everything delivered on time and my family could not stop talking about the food. Everyone asked where we had catered the food from. Jorge really seems like an owner who cares about his customers and food. Visit las brasas and I guarantee you won't be disappointed

The chicken was delicious! The sauces were awesome! The sides were average. The employees here were super friendly and professional. Will I come back? Yes, the chicken is so worth it!

I have had this place bookmarked and wanted to try it for quite a while now, and my husband was finally on that side of town so we decided to pick up! The fact that they make a lot of chicken at one time is good because there is not a long wait time to pick up the food. The spices on the chicken were great and it was perfectly moist and tender. I did not like the fries I had chose at someone of my sides, they were the thick cut fries and there was nothing special to them at all. I would have liked if they would have some spices added to them or even a special dipping sauce would be nice but they were nothing special. I did like the rice that came with the chicken Because it was great, and the cilantro rice was just fine too. I would like to pick up again because I think it's great that I was able to get a whole halal chicken that was already cooked, but I will probably not be driving down here just just for this place. I am still getting 5 stars because The chicken was that good even though the sides weren't. That should tell you how good the chicken was. I will say that I do appreciate that the service was good and the person over the phone was willing to go through the sides with me and help me come to the decision of what to order. A little customer service goes a long way and these guys did it right.

Excellent service and looks fresh! First time here and the people are really nice . There is lot of options and the food is halal.

It's just ok. The food is over priced & they are stingy with the amount they give for the price you pay. I guess they're charging so much because of the location I'm not really sure but it's not worth the price. Chicken is good but not much flavor. Beans have no flavor and rice is dry. Plantains taste old not fresh. They need to do better at making the food with love not just warming it up and overcharging for a plate. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone until they start serving better quality food and have better time management. It's always a long wait to order or get something to go they're always busy and don't usually stop to service the customer in a timely manner. When ordering they're doing 2 other things at once it's very annoying if you're just trying to grab food and go! I've been here 3 times and it's been the exact same experience. 3 strikes and they're OUT! Restaurant is usually clean for the most part. I'd never dine in though because I can only image how slow the service would be. They really need to do better.

I came to this restaurant during an Uber eats delivery and it smelled amazing so I decided to order it on uber eats myself. I ordered the dark chicken which came with a leg and a thigh and two sides. My sides were plantains and chicken fried rice. I must say everything is very well seasoned and tasted pretty good! There was also two different sauces that were in my plate and green-ish one and an orange-ish one. I loveddd the green sauce. It tasted like a sweet ranch or something (idk that's just how I recall it). My only complaint was the rice did seem a bit dry like it may have been old rice but because it was well seasoned I let them make it.

Great food and quick service! The ambiance is very Latin American which I love! The chicken smelled delicious from the moment you open the door and the meal was wonderful.

Visiting from out of town and was looking for some lunch and stumbled upon this little shop. You know if a restaurant specializes in something specific and has a ton of good reviews on Yelp, I gotta try it. I got the 1/4 dark meat (comes with 1 leg and 1 thigh) with the chicken fried rice and steamed (boiled?) vegetables as my 2 sides. The chicken was so tender and juicy, and fell right off the bone, and the chicken fried rice was so superb and delicious. The vegetables were a little soggy and mushy but, hey, I didn't come here for the vegetables so I didn't care. I would definitely recommend visiting this place!

As I mentioned in a previous review, if we tried them again I'd update my review. When a place is known for a specific dish you should definitely order it because omg the chicken here is absolutely delicious. Las Brasas actually sent basically a voucher and wow that was so appreciated so we immediately tried them again. We ordered the white meat chicken, which was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. The portion was very large imo and was more than enough food for the two of us. The plantains were so much better than before and the French fries were good too. I would totally recommend giving this place a try!

Unbelievable quantity of great food for an amazing price! The chicken was great, and each side were humongous! The service was great and the ambiance of the restaurant was very good. Again totally recommend this.

Delicious food! Friendly staff! Definitely worth a try. We got the chicken and chaufa plate and the Lomo Saltado and they were both great. Highly recommend!

Chicken was tender and delicious. Server were friendly and attentive. Restaurant were generally clean. Will go back again.

NO VAYAN Es una estafa completa! Pagué para llevar un pollo entero y venía de promoción medio cuarto y claramente en la foto adjunta no esta completo e incluso falta una pierna, me di con la sorpresa cuando llegue a casa y llamé para hablar con el manager, una señora me contesto toda sarcástica, le expliqué lo sucedido y me tiro el teléfono. No pude regresar porque tengo dos gemelos recién nacidos y se me complicaba demasiado... que perdida de tiempo y que HORRIBLE ATENCIÓN al cliente. Anteriormente ya había comprado hace unos meses atrás e incluso nos conocían, cuando había otro personal completo y jamás me habían cortado el pollo de esa manera... en ninguna pollería peruana venden así. Sinceramente vayan a otro lugar porque este es una sarta de aprovechados que hacen las presas más pequeñas y los sides los colocan en cartón pequeño. Pésimo todo!. Ojalá los dueños vean este post y hagan al respecto con su personal... papas todas quemadas.

Service was terrible, and the place was empty. Over priced for some dry chicken. Ambiance is dark and dingy.

Great food, good portions for the price! Apart from the chicken, I loved the fried yuca & sweet plantain. I didn't catch the name of the woman who took my order but she was so sweet, and the restaurant was clean with a really laid back vibe.

We just ate here this afternoon, and what a great experience. The food was yummy and the service was stellar! Super nice and accommodating staff, and Lydia especially was awesome! Highly recommend for the good food and welcoming vibe!

Food is fresh, staff is very nice. Don't think it's worth the price unless you have a coupon or something. But it's not bad.

I had a pretty bad experience here, which is surprising as I had trusted all the positive reviews this place has. There are serious operation and communication problems. I walked in to order at the counter and was told to sit at a table (since I was planning to eat there). The time between sitting down and waiting for a waitress was unfortunately the difference between getting the food I wanted. I had started ordering a whole chicken at the counter and was upset to hear that they had sold it to the person who walked in after me (who placed a to-go order) as I was sitting/waiting. They also ran out of plantains and vegetables. Instead of getting the food I came for, I got horrible suggestions to get chicken legs and a salad. The salad had old lettuce that was going bad. The chicken legs were underwhelming. I was confused by the fried rice the dish includes. The sauces were one of the most disappointing parts -- one tastes like you're eating a red pepper, while the other tastes like you're eating a bush of cilantro. Very overpowering vs. complimenting to the chicken. Giving one star for the fruit juice they make, but that's really it. I'd also like to mention that the kitchen seems disconnected and toxic. We observed them throw a whole chicken away (after I was told they were sold out) and one worker calling another one "a**hole" for getting an order incorrect. There was a lot of yelling orders and corrections. I have buyers remorse and regret not walking out when I was told things were sold out... not sure I'd come back after such a disappointing experience.

Ordered the food from the Too Good To-Good app. I cannot say I enjoyed the chicken. I thought it was dry and not too flavorful. The rice, beans, and potatoes were the best part of the meal. My wife and I enjoy the BBQ chicken I make from HEB so much better. The portion size was a bit less than what I was expecting especially after reading what $18.00 was supposed to be. It was half a chicken, some rice, beans, and a few potatoes. I had been wanting to try them for awhile and now that I did, I will not want to go back. The app allowed me to try them, so I did. They accomplished what they sought out to do which makes the Too Good To Go app work for them.

Excellent service! Upon arriving I guess we looked confused because the guy asked if we'd ever been there. When we said no they offered us a sample of chicken and salsa and they were both amazing! I ordered the 1/4 plate of chicken with black beans and fried yuca. The green and red salsa are both the bomb!! I was seriously dipping everything in that stuff. This is going to be my new go to spot for chicken.
