“Brasa is located in a fantastic spot, and the experience begins with an elevator ride up into the restaurant—a unique touch that sets the tone for the evening. The employees are incredibly welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived.

The bar service was a highlight of our visit. The bartender was exceptional, crafting phenomenal drinks that truly stood out. The caipirinha and the hibiscus margarita were the stars of the night, perfectly balanced and refreshing—they saved the day!

As for the food, it was a mixed bag. The empanadas were okay but didn’t stand out. The choripán, while beautifully presented, was almost too much—overwhelming in flavors and presentation. On the other hand, the tuna ceviche was excellent, fresh, and flavorful. However, the ajiaco fell flat; it was poorly executed, overly salty, and lacked any chicken, which was disappointing for such a classic dish.

Overall, Brasa shines in its ambiance, service, and drinks, but the food could use a little fine-tuning to match the rest of the experience. Worth a visit if you’re in the area, especially for the cocktails!“

“Yes there are a lot of brunch options in this city, but you can't beat bottomless mimosas, live dj, confetti cannon, SPARKLERS YALL SPARKLERS. Also CLEAN BATHROOMS--YALL!!! PUT MISTER OSO ON YOUR LIST! The food, the vibe, the people. <3 would recommend RSVP'ing ahead of time cause they fill up fast. Oh I forgot to mention they also do bottomless margs??“

“Cute hole in the wall place for basic Mexican and Central American food. I ate at the bar and my server was probably the owner she was a sweet older lady. Soccer and Spanish language tv shows playing. Juke box you can play. Pool table. Serves till late.“

“This place is absolutely amazing!! We got several empanadas to try. Such a cool find. The staff was friendly and it had a cool New Orleans vibe but different. You can sit and enjoy the views of magazine street and the spinach and artichoke empanadas will make you lick the plate. Hands down awesome“

“Let me get by saying this is one of the cutest little restaurants I’ve ever seen. It was really cozy. I started with the carrot and orange juice while I waited on my food and it was so delicious. The staff was super friendly and kept me company while I waited on my order. I’m at Maria the owners daughters who are super sweet, Angelica helped me with figuring out what I wanted to order, Irbiana brought the food out to me, well, Natalie and Beberlin cashed me out. Everything looks so good online and so were the reviews so I ordered a bunch of different things … pictures coming shortly :)“

“The Carmo salad was fresh with a delicious dressing. Daily rice and beans were perfectly flavored and extremely filling. I suggest splitting them so you can try more dishes!
Plenty of vegetarian options and they were happy to leave it off of other dishes if we wanted. The bread service was worth adding on too!

Vegetarian options: Plenty of options and many of the dishes were easy to request without meat!“

“Great eating!! B please try this place“

“Incredible food, but the prices are high, and also higher than posted on their menu, about double. It cost as much to go to Addis across the street, so be ready for full service dining prices. The food is incredible though, if I could get a plate and a juice for around 20$ I'd eat there every day, but you're looking at 30-40$ for lunch.“

“Great Pizza for lunch in a relaxing environment.“
