The 25 Best Restaurants In LA's South Bay - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"Best known as the wood-roasted chicken spot that you can smell from a quarter-mile away, Pollo A La Brasa Vermont is the older sibling of the extremely popular Peruvian-style chicken spot in Koreatown, Pollo A La Brasa Western. Much like that location, there's a huge glass wall in the kitchen, where you can watch hundreds of golden chickens slowly roasting on spits. Quarter, half, or whole birds—which come with sides like fries, beans, or salad—are every bit as salty and juicy as you want the rotisserie chicken to be. If you're dining in, you may have to borrow a bottle of the spicy green aji sauce from the table next to you, but it's what you should be smothering your chicken in anyway." - garrett snyder, sylvio martins, cathy park

I found a human hair in my food. Nobody in here wears a hair net while serving food. This place is very unsanitary I hate to say it. I’ve seen one of the workers pick up a dirty rubber mat from the floor and turned around to make a plate with the visible dirt still on his hands. Everybody in here operates in a nasty way. The health department needs to look into this establishment immediately.

A local favorite. Outstanding hardwood fire rotisserie chicken.
The only reason this spot doesn't get 5 stars is because sometimes there are rocks in the beans that'll break your teeth. See photo with quarter as size reference, taken today.

Chicken had good texture but was flavorless. Fries were soaked in oil. Coleslaw was okay. The salsa also not much flavor. Would try one more time, maybe the rice and beans are better. Was expecting something way better than what I got. Also the parking is not great.

Overpriced and the food is bad. I ordered a Chicken, beans and a salad and none of those meals had any flavor. I was surprise because apparently they cook the chicken with wood, and people buy from this place. Everything was bad. I rather go to pollo loco.

If you are in the mood for some really good rotisserie chicken don’t think twice and just GOO!!
Although they have 2 locations (in KTOWN) I think this location KILLS that one!!
They both taste good don’t get me wrong but for some reason it’s MUCHHHH better here in the Gardena location!
There is seating inside but minimal prolly good for about 10-15 people?!

Best Peruvian flavored chicken!!
-You gotta get your Aguadito for hangover 😝
-For one you have the lunch special 1/4 chicken with two side orders + small Drink. (Around $12)
-And don’t forget to take Alfajores.
-for parking I’d suggest the back side.

The grilled chicken at this place is beyond praise. Juicy, flavorful, and with a crispy crust. The balance of spices is perfect. I highly recommend it! The service is excellent!

Grilled chicken is tasty however it is quite salty for our taste. Casual fast food place. Great customer service. Parking is very tight, you may need to nearby street and walk over
