    Photo 1: Montage of images from Brasa Bros

    Let me cut to the chase. I was kinda disappointed with this casual rotisserie chicken shop even though it comes from the team that owns Limon. In fact, I was quite forlorn having presumed this location of Limon was permanently closed. I liked the way they prepared their pollo à la brasa because the Peruvian-style chicken was consistently succulent. I'm guessing maintaining the quality and profitability of a sit-down restaurant has been economically challenging since this was not the only Limon that has closed. I was encouraged that they kept the space and reinvented it into more of a fast food/takeout operation replete with a cartoon chicken mascot and an animated mural along the northern side of the building. I came by in the middle of a weekday afternoon, so I wasn't ready to eat on the spot. I decided on a takeout order of the $21.95 Half Chicken Pollo à la Brasa with two sides. I think I overdid the starches and went with the Plantains and Yuca Fries. I only noticed afterward that I could've gotten salad or cole slaw instead. When I got home and started to eat, I was immediately disappointed that the chicken tasted overcooked with the breast piece particularly dry. That was too bad because the skin from the rotisserie had the familiar flavorful seasonings. The plantains were tasty albeit a bit oily, while I had to nuke the lukewarm yuca fries to bring them back to life (Photo 9). Next time, I'll time my arrival closer to lunch or dinner, so I can dine in-house. My hope is that the chicken will be closer to the quality level I recall from Limon. FOOD - 3 stars...sadly overcooked when I ate it at home AMBIANCE - 4 stars...the space itself is fine, much more casual SEEVICE - 3.5 stars...the staff was nice enough TOTAL - 3 stars...fast food version of Limon not quite there yet RELATED - Exploring the Mission?

    1/4 Chicken
    Joseline M.

    Brasa bros has been in my list of new restaurants to try specially because I love this style of chicken. I came for lunch and the place was fairly empty. The cashier was very nice and attentive and the location was very clean. I ordered a 1/4 chicken with yuca fries and fried plantains which is my go to order for similar restaurants. Unfortunately the plantains were old and had a weird taste to them(I couldn't finish), the yuca fries were nice and crispy but you only get a few so that sucks, the chicken was the smallest piece of chicken I've ever received at a chicken restaurant! Flavor lacked compared to other Peruvian chicken places and it was also very dry. For the price and food I wouldn't come back.

    Whole Pollo a la Brasa w/ arroz chaufa + yuca fries ($34.95), Chicken Tender ($5.95 each), Brasa Bliss Sauce ($2.50)

    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!

    Chaufa Crunch
    Jed O.

    5/5 - chaufa crunch was a very filling loaded fries bowl with tender chicken, fried rice, and fries. I was very impressed with how juicy the tenders were and the sauce was not overpowering. Proportions were well prepared. Highly recommend as a first dish introduction to this restaurant! Service was also very fast and you can choose different sauces if you ask. Relatively good seating availability and a fun place to grab lunch or dinner!

    MONSTRITO
    Jennifer D.

    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!

    The most satisfying meal ever!

    I'm am so happy that the owners of Limon did not change a thing of their pollo la brasa. This is honestly the best chicken in the world.! Great ambience and music.

    $1 combo (grand opening)
    Jose M.

    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...

    New roasted chicken spot - fast casual. I thought the chicken itself was cooked very well - tender and flavorful. The sauce they had was tasty as well. I would like to come back and try other menu items!

    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!

    Fries
    Roxanna R.

    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

    Fried rice that tasted and smelled like cleaning chemicals!!!!!!!!

My eldest is a big chicken sandwich fan so we just had to make it happen. Needless to say he was happy. We came during their happy hour and got the donuts holes too! 10/10. My daughter even finished her food and she's a picky eater! The ordering process is a touch screen. There's 2 screens in case you don't know what you want and there's a line. (I tend to feel pressure if there's 1 kiosk.) The employees are incredibly kind. My son had a bunch of questions and they were glad to answer them.

    I really liked: Fried Chicken Sandwich…read more This was ok: Fully Loaded Tots The fried chicken sandwich is really solid, especially for around $10. The chicken is extremely moist and tender, almost to the point where the sandwich starts falling apart as you eat it. It's messy, but pretty tasty and a good value for a quick meal. The fully loaded tots are fine, but even with all the toppings they still feel a little plain. They scratched the tots itch, but nothing about them really stood out. Service is very quick and curt, which fits the vibe of the place. The shop itself is small, compact, and usually pretty busy, but it's a great convenient stop if you're around Moscone Center and want something fast. #goodeats
