Las Brasas in Decatur - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I'm sorry for this score but the truth is I didn't like how they serve the chicken because they give it to you without potatoes or salad and they don't sell a quarter of a chicken, I mean that Peruvian style thing is not true. The salad at the same price as the chicken. The staff doesn't even inform you well, they just bring you the chicken and they just tell you that it doesn't come with chicken or salad.

I ordered the Pollo Las Brasas and it was okay but not as flavorful as I expected a signature dish to be. Given that it has the restaurant's name I expected more than just plain regular chicken, but it was so bland I began to dip the chicken in the huancaína that came with my Yucca fries. The yucca fries were good. The side of rice was also on the bland side. I understand that rice is not an inherently flavorful food itself, but there was something about it that seemed a bit off for steamed rice. Nothing about the atmosphere caught my eye (good or bad) but I had gone there to try Peruvian food, not to look for a particular type of environment. Las Brasas is one of those restaurants that will automatically add a tip for large groups; for them it is six or more people (there were nine of us). Ordinarily this is not an issue for me but given the multiple service issues we encountered (e.g., giving orders to the wrong people, bringing out the wrong dish, etc.) it didn't feel right to have a 20% tip automatically added to the bill. Then to add insult to injury they charge 20% tax on top of the automatic tip.

Food (whole chicken a las Brasas) lacked flavor and did not seem freshly-cooked. The dips did not help much either. The salad and quinoa also were fairly bland. Very disappointing overall. Service was ok. Probably will not return.

This restaurant is such a jewel 💎!!! Down home Peruvian food and it is 🔥🔥🔥 Rashad was a great server and ran that place so smoothly!! We will definitely be back. P.S. this is a great restaurant for sharing meals with the family!

So many good things about Las Brasas. The food would be amazing even without the very best fried and rotisserie chicken anywhere in Georgia. Especially the fried chicken. 100 dollars to feed a family of six too. Simply amazing.

REALLY GOOD BUT A LITTLE EXPENSIVE

I wanted a change in pace so the wife and I decided to give this Latin place a try. So glad we did! We began with the Octopus app that was so good I probably ate more than my fair share. It came with a small salad with a cucumber dressing and some yucca. We then shared a 1/2 roasted chicken (which they brine for 24 hours) dinner with some beans and rice. It was all so good that we do plan to return. Shoutout to the wait staff for their hospitality, patience and suggestions.

The pollo a la brasa was fresh and delicious. Plus they have the dark lager that’s is hard to find at other Peruvian restaurants!

Delicious food, and very friendly staff.

Dingy place with disgusting floors made of concrete and simple wooden furniture a la third world country feel. Server was extremely cordial. We have been in many peruvian restaurants, Boston, Orlando. This is by far the poorest. I had Lomo Saltado it was a small amount of beef (which actually tasted good) but the mixture of onions, super sogy and tasteless french fries varely souted onions, sweet peppers and cilantro was lacking in taste, white rice was tasteless as well. My wife had the Keebob which was very tender but the sauce tasteless and spicy so she did not eat half of it. The pasta with pesto was bar none the worst I have ever tasted it was gooey and limp and had no parmesan! and varely any pesto taste. My sons fried chicken was ok (hard to mess up fried chiken) but the fries were overcooked and ladden thrue and throug with oil so not cryspy at all. This restaurant is worthy of a no star.

The food is ALWAYS on point. Great service and awesome drinks. They accommodated our large party. And they were super hospitable. A family atmosphere.

I love their rotisserie chicken and salad. And their fried rice is an excellent choice

Roast Chicken is amazing. Roasted on charcoal and loaded with flavor

Las Brasas was delicious! They had so many options we could choose from that all sounded great. A but difficult to choose from but I would highly suggest their Pollo Frito. That was our highlight and thought it was delicious. The service was quick and there is parking in the back!

Really good food. Very unique variety. I'll definitely be back next trip to Decatur.

Lamb empanadas 10/10. Chicken meal 10/10. I got take out but customer service was great and food was great.

I've downgraded my review of this place to two stars because the last two times we went were terrible. One time we sat down and waited at least 5 minutes without being acknowledged, all while the server is standing there just looking at her phone. We decided to try it again (months later) & ordered 1/2 chicken, beans and fries. The half chicken was puny and the beans were cold. I had a good experience initially, before COVID, but after my two visits since then, I don't think I'll be back.

By far the worst restaurant I've been to so far, food was alright but imagine I had to ask for the chicken and rice when Peruvian foods is about sea food. Service was awful I wasn't even halfway with food when server brought us the bill.

I didn’t like the soup aguadito I don't recommend it at all, poor little broth because I really wanted something hot but it was inedible. The chicken Peruvian roast with fries freeze. Definitely nothing Peruvian!

One of the best places in Decatur! Amazing affordable food,great staff and great bar. Can’t recommend it enough!!!

peruvian food is some of the best cuisine in the Western Hemisphere... and unfortunately this restaurant doesn't live up to it. There were a couple items on the menu that were sold out, and the chicken was underwhelming. i really like Peruvian food, and left so disappointed.

We really enjoy the chicken and empanadas. The family meal is a great deal, as well! Definitely worth a visit.

The food was delicious and a good cost for the meal.

The ceviche was the best dish I have ever eaten in the USA. 9/10 The grilled chicken 7/10 The lomo saltado doesn't taste like that 5/10 The huancaína potato felt the cream was slightly soggy and the potatoes were hard 3/10 Good service and good atmosphere Small suggestion they should play more Peruvian music to feel in a better Peruvian environment.

Overpriced and bland. We went here for my friend's birthday. I was very excited about trying it, and she said she liked it. We all got several plates to share, and ended up spending a lot (about $200). Sadly, the food was mediocre at best. Most of the dishes had very little flavor, and tasted like they could have come from any basic Latin restaurant. The Ceviche Mixto, which was recommended by our server, came with fish, octopus, calamari, and shrimp. The calamari and octopus were very chewy, and the whole dish basically just tasted like lime juice. There was very little seasoning. Even the hominy and sweet potato were covered in lime juice, so there were not other flavors in the dish to help balance the tartness. The best part was probably the onions. I was very excited about the Patacones, because I love fried plantains. However, I have several Puerto Rican family members, and I know what a friend plantain should taste like. Peruvian plantains may be made differently, but these basically just tasted like the fried batter. The plantain flavor was not very distinct, and there was basically no seasoning used. On top of that, the sauce, which I believe was something cilantro based, was also very bland. The empanadas and yucca fries were both very basic. The empanadas were very dry in the center. The fries were okay, and were cooked well. They were not soggy. However, neither of these dishes were exciting enough for me to order again. We also ordered the Corazon, which is beef heart, which was recommended by a gentleman in our party who had in fact been to Peru. I have never had beef heart before, but I found the texture to be rather chewy. It did taste like an organ, and had a texture that is undesirable to me. Having said that, some people may like the texture and the taste. Next, the Lomo with vegetables, rice, and french fries. The Lomo was okay. The flavor was not exciting, but not bad. It was a little more well-done than I would like, and not any better than a typical restaurant chain would serve. The vegetables and rice were okay. The fries were obviously soggy, as they were drenched in whatever sauce was on the Lomo. The one thing that I did enjoy was the half rotisserie chicken. It was not amazing, but it was good. It was juicy, and the flavor was good. I wouldn't say that the seasoning was anything special, but I liked it. It was the only good part of the meal to me. The staff was very pleasant. They were happy to make suggestions, and were very inviting. The atmosphere was okay. The table we sat at had a very bright light, which is a little uncomfortable for me. It was not a very romantic atmosphere, or even inviting, but a little warmer than a diner might feel.

Wonderful Peruvian rotisserie chicken, fried chicken. Love the calamari shrimp appetizer and the "Peruvian " chocolate cake was decadent.

That was some of the best food i've ever had my life. For real!

Server was very rude been their before was an excellent customer service and the food was great. Idk why happen maybe the change of management

The food was good but the drinks were even better!

Food is hot, fresh and very delicious.

Huge portions and well seasoned. Must try EVERYTHING!

Very good fried rice, would recommend. The Lamb Papa Rellena was a little burned, and the Lamb doesn’t really go with the dish. The fried rice had a pretty big portion, which is worth the price. The Huancaina sauce is perfect. Overall, the restaurant is really good, almost authentic to a restaurant from Peru.

I love Las Brasas! Great food, friendly staff, and great value!

Yes yes yes, the lamb empanada and the fried chicken.....wow The cocktails are also delicious

Amazing everything. Every single item we had was exceptional. You can’t go wrong.

The closest to Peruvian pollo a la brasa within 15 miles of Atlanta. The seasoning is all there. I prefer to get it to go.

Gentlemen, your phone is not working and you needed to place an order to see if they can get it working, please, thank you.

Delicious meal, extremely attentive service! My companion ordered a Quinoa Power Bowl with Avocado; I had Vegetable Mixto (marinated vegetables skewered and grilled) and Crispy Potatoes. Everything was tasty and satisfying.

Definitely one of the better options for peruvian cuisine in Georgia, but I was most disappointed with the Pollo a la brasa, Which is the staple dish of this restaurant. It was one of the main reasons we came and something I was really looking forward to enjoying a good wood-fired taste but it was not there. Their cooking method was what I expected, though the chicken didn't taste bad. The sauces were not so unique and could have used more flavor so it couldn't save/complement the chicken. I was disappointed at some of the other options as well. We had been here before they moved to this location too but they still didn't improve much. In fact, they took away some options that I enjoyed such as the Peruvian olive mayonnaise.If you're in the area, it's not a bad option but definitely not one of the better peruvian restaurants I would recommend. Pollo a la brasa 7/10 - Although they claim to use authentic wood fired ovens to cook the chickens, the chicken definitely lacked that wood fired smoky flavor. Regardless of whether they actually do cook the chickens in an authentic peruvian wood fired oven, the flavor on the skin is underwhelming, thus do not penetrate deep onto the meat itself. There is no flavor presence of any of the traditional peruvian herbs used for the marinade on the skin.It is still tasty, but not to the level of the better peruvian rotisserie chickens I have tried in America or Georgia. Arroz chaufa de pollo 9/10 - One of the best Arroz chaufa de pollo around georgia, definitely top 10 (as of 2023). Although the chicken itself doesn't contain much of the flavors of the seasoning, it added good texture to the dish as opposed to using chunks of chicken like it does traditionally. Pulled chicken allows the flavors of the entire dish to further season the chicken and absorb flavors easier. If the chicken was better seasoned and had a true wood fired flavor, it would remarkably elevate the dish. The rice was flavorful, buttery, fragrant, and best of all, abundant. The portion size was beyond satisfying for the price. It could easily feed 2 or more people. There was a strong and evident taste of all qualities of authentic Arroz chaufa on every bite. All of these combine it to make it one of the best I have tried out of the many peruvian restaurants I have tried. Lomo saltado 6/10 - no strong or smoky flavor anywhere on the dish but tasted good. As far as decent Lomo saltados go, this is it. Nothint special and you can find this same flavor at many other restaurants. Not only that but the portion size was not as good. Rotisserie chicken sandwich 5/10- This was a pretty sad excuse of a sandwich. The flavor of the so called sauce that was included in the sandwich was barely recognizable, likely due to the incredibly small amount of sauce they put in. As previously discussed, the chicken itself does not have much flavor outside of the skin so you essentially have a pretty bland and dry sandwich. Although it is the most basic of all the sandwich options, they could have focused Papa rellena 5/10 - I'm afraid that the use of lamb meat for the filling does not suit this appetizer well. Traditionally, ground beef is used as the filling.I can only assume a modern twist was attempted when using lamb meat, but it was not properly executed. A proper execution would have focused on a more flavorful seasoning selection for the lamb meat filling to compensate for the natural taste of the lamb meat. Both the potato and filling could both have used salt.

One of the best Peruvian places out there in Atlanta if not the best. Sometimes they are undermanned so the waitress may take sometime to get to you

Great food. We went on a Saturday night. The place is a little small and it fills up quickly. We came at just the right time and were seated right away. The food was excellent. Literally every dish thing we ordered was delicious. I had the 1/2 chicken with fries, it was awesome. My wife ordered the Arroz Chaufa Mariscos Mixto and we got the calamari and yucca as well. Warning. The Arroz Chaufa is a huge serving. Two if not 3 people can easily eat off it. We tried the Peachy Keen cocktail as well, loved it. I had been thinking of coming here for years, I should have come a long time ago. Now I will say that the place didn't strike me as being overly authentic, but admittedly I'm not well versed in Peruvian cuisine. But I will most certainly vouch for the food. Authentic or not, it was really, really good.

Great food in quality and quantity! Fast service. Helpful wait staff for those of us new to Peruvian food.

Overall, I enjoyed the experience.

If you have a gluten allergy be wary of this place, the server told us the oil was served with all of the other meals, hence there is cross contamination and it’s not truly gluten free. I wanted to try this place for my gluten free sister’s birthday and was sadly disappointed by the fact that many of the “gluten free” meals are prepared in the same oil as the other food with gluten in it and therefore not gluten free. Either the menu should change to reflect the cross contamination with a warning or they should actually make things gluten free. If we hadn’t asked, this could’ve landed my little sister in the ER on her birthday, just by trusting the menu’s so called “gluten free” labels.

Whether dining in or picking up the service is superb and the food is consistently delicious 😋

I am Peruvian, and I wanted to get real Peruvian pollo a la brasa and I was surprised when I went to Las brasas last year and it was delicious, even better than some pollerías on Perú! So i went again a few days ago and it was still as good! You have to try it! And the prices are very good! The service was good as well. I love it ❤️

Calamari and shrimp was good, mexican corn on the cobs were ok kinda greasy and needed more cheese and tajin. Lima beans where super weird and not great, Yuca was OK and chocolate cake was the best part.

The most delicious and flavourful meal of my life 😋 All of the servers were amazing as well.

Delicious Peruvian rotisserie chicken, love the family style which is how we usually eat it

Ok listen, I love me some good food and good vibes because I like to have me a good time! I’ve been looking for a Peruvian chicken spot in Atlanta because I love Peruvian chicken. I came in the service, food portions, and food was great! I decided to dine in so that I could relax and enjoy a little time by myself. I sat at the bar and ordered my food and drinks. Natalie was the bar tender and ya’ll she was pouring them up for me ok! I ordered my favorite drink, lemon drop, and she did not disappoint. Not everybody know how to make them but she did and I enjoyed myself! My food came out fast, fresh, and delicious! I wasn’t expecting the amount of food I received but I honestly had no complaints! I had tons of food left over! The atmosphere was nice and again the staff was top tier! I will definitely be back soon!

My favorite place fue Peruvian food. I always try ceviche. I bring customers all the time

Great food and friendly staff.. And great portions

Wonderful peruvian roasted chicken. The have a small patio and large indoor dining room. The family meal is a great deal.

The Rotisserie and Fried Chicken is super flava-ful and juicy, cooked to perfection!!

Food was quite good and nice portions, but the vibes in there were very weird on a weekday for dinner. Hard to explain haha. I recommend going for lunch time or maybe when it’s a little more lively on the weekends.

My favorite rotisserie chicken! My kids love their yucca fries and all the different sauces. Lomo Saltado is amazing. ❤

This place is so good. Simple, extremely well cooked food that is delicious. The chicken, fried or rotisserie is awesome. Well made cocktails, wine, and beer at reasonable prices. We’ll be back.

Yucca fries are the very best. The rest, is just okay.

Our waitress/bartender, Autumn, was very attentive and the late night menu was delicious! Flan is the best I've ever had!

Food is great however Lomo satado and the seafood saltado its too salty too much soy sauce.

Been here several times. Delicious!

I had better Peruvian food. Sever could have been nicer…

Update; this used to be a good place, but not anymore. The beans were cold, the fries were still cold and frozen in the center and the chicken was scrawny. We left very hungry and had to get dinner at McDonald's next door. The lighting here really really really sucks, they've put in these terrible lights using this weird clinical lighting that's guaranteed to give you a headache and makes your food look absolutely awful. Not ever coming back.

Wonderful rotisserie chicken, Peruvian style! Try the grilled asparagus.

Very nice and decently priced. Good drinks too.

The yellow aji sauce and fried rice are the best food I’ve tasted in a while

Very good flavors. One of the best mexican restaurants ive been to. Chili relleno was amazing! Waiters did a great job as well.

Absolutely delicious food and great service! Location feels a little seedy at night as it's off a side road in a not well lit area but it was nice.

Food was great and very friendly sevice. I would definitely go back when we are in the Decatur area.

Server was cool as a fan and very attentive. I had the fried chicken and it was amazing but I’m in love with the sauces that come with it 😍 And the portion sizes are big.

Whenever I visit Atlanta I make sure to stop here and order the rotisserie chicken and the fresh salad. The dipping sauce is delicious. Highly recommend if you want a taste of Peru😊

Yo e ido a varios restaurantes peruanos dentro de los Estados Unidos, este restaurante el pollo a la brasa estaba Rico aunque me sorprendio que no lo sirvan con la ensalada. This restaurant is not the best or the worst I'll say its okay could do better.

Service was great and food was amazing.

Always a win! We nearly always get the sangria. Last night, we got go food and waited at the bar while it was prepared. Such a good idea! If you've never had this stuff, you should. Try the simple arroz chaufa con pollo, chicken and fried rice, and some rotisserie chicken. Simple, straightforward, and doggone delicious.

You gotta come here full because you’re going to get hungry after more than one hour waiting for your food Everything’s so slow

Great food! The half fried chicken was so flavorful with a crunchy crust & juicy on the inside

The food was freshly cooked and the chicken was really tasty!

Grilled chicken is excellent. I was alone and ordered fries and asparagus. More fries than I could eat, enough for a family.

The food was an interesting version of Peruvian food. The service was the biggest problem. The young man at counter was in another world, the girl trying but out of her element on serving tables.

Excellent Peruvian food. The pisco sour is great and the ceviche as well as the lomo saltado are superb.

Sandwiches are hood if you are looking for a tasty and quick lunch. Check it out. Dinner menu is phenomenal.

Quality food and outstanding customer service, highly recommended 👌

I wasn't a fan of most of the food. This is my boyfriend's favorite restaurant and he HIGHLY recommends the Lomo Saltado (pictured). I got the Pato Anticuchos (pictured) and I wasn't a fan. It was bitter and left a bad taste in my mouth. The potatoes were even bitter. The ceviche, however, was excellent! It's not pictured only because it looked so good and we ate it so fast. We also got the passionfruit cheesecake (pictured) and it didn't taste like passionfruit at all. It tasted like generic mediocre cheesecake with something slightly fruity added.

I have found the Perfect Skinny Margarita Fresh ingredients Ask for Shelly at the Bar !

Mediocre food and the worst service ever. Undercooked meat and the ceviche took one whole hour to come out. Do not come on the weekends and definitely not for a birthday. My little daughter was thrilled to go eat for her birthday just for the rude waitress to walk up and not even address her or wish her a happy birthday and then proceed to tell me , “We don’t really do birthdays but the cake is 5.00.” Just super rude and not friendly, needs some customer service and just basic human interaction training. Not worth it at all.

We were visiting from out of town, and our family suggested we try Peruvian food . The food was very delicious, from the appetizers we ordered Calamary Shrimp & Aji Pepper Frito, Street Corn Elotes. For dinner, we order the Whole Chicken A La Brasa .. the service provided by our waitress was also top-notch. I would definitely come back if I'm ever back in Atlanta..

Went for my birthday dinner with my family, wonderful evening thanks! Our waitress Marci was spectacular and the food is good as always.

Lamb empanadas were wonderful! Great service. Quality food.

What a great experience in so many ways! First of all, I loved the outdoor seating with the live music. Our waitress - Alexa - was happy, fun & a had great attitude. Service was slow; however, we understand they were short staffed and anyways, we quite enjoyed just hanging out with drinks and apps before our main meal came. I had a fried rice bowl which was delicious. A friend had the duck which was overcooked. This spot is definitely on my list of places to bring friends for a fun evening out!

Amazing food, the fried rice is to die for, and the flavor of the rotisserie is A+++

The best fried chicken in Decatur.

Food is good, staff is great, personally feel like the ambiance could be better. But no complaints, sabe rico. I didn’t understand why they had micheladas and elotes, their lúcuma cheesecake was 8/10. -a peruvian

We order the rotisserie chicken almost every week and it’s consistently delicious.

Lugar para compartir en familia,un buen trato. Lo recomiendo.

The attention of the waiter and the employee was very bad. The chicken was not original from Peru and the sauces were watery and to top it off they don't take cash to pay. no star deserves this restaurant

Este lugar es el peor que he podido visitar la comida es desastrosa literal solo ustedes juzguen si comerían esto que me sirvieron

This is so so so delicious you wouldn’t be sorry. I absolutely LOVE the lamb empanadas they are unique and fantastic. The mariscos mixto is amazing too.

The fried chicken is INCREDIBLE! Get plenty of lime for it. I don’t live in Atlanta, I live 3 hours away, yet I make a point to come here when I visit, because the food and cocktails are just that good. I’ve been here several times with friends and this last time came with my significant other just for me to have my favorite ATL dinner, mybsignificant other is deathly allergic to soy products and nuts among other things. The waiter, was the most friendly, caring, individual we’ve ever encountered that is in the service industry, this was the first time my significant other has ever encountered someone that not just cared about his allergies but initiated the conversation and validated via conversations several times over with the kitchen to make sure he could eat what was one the menu and no concerns of cross contamination. He was able to try the food and we will be returning as often as we can, Please go visit this location, the service is really great and the food is even better.

Love this food here. The fried chicken is excelent and so is thr roasted chicked.

I ordered the saltado lomo and asked that it be made spicy. They did not disappoint. The food was very flavorful and the spicy was enough to feel the spice but your mouth was not burning. The serving portion seemed small but I left stuffed. The sever was informative and very accommodating. Great lunch date spot and I'm sure it'll be an amazing dinner date spot too. Parking is limited though and was my only complaint.
