Outstanding Latin cuisine. The service is fabulous as are the food and drinks. My wife and I frequent Brasitas for lunch on Saturdays. Killer mojitos and margaritas. Great lomo saltado. Great music - courtesy of Fabio's play list read more

My wife and I just had a wonderful dinner here. German was an excellent server I had the salmon dinner and my wife had a beautiful arugula salad with the scallop special. We will add this to our list of regular places. read more

We love Brasitas and try our best to support them through take out dinners during the pandemic. Please support this wonderful family of creative chefs! read more

The salmon is absolutely delicious, as well as the whole menu! Whenever I want to treat myself, brasitas is the place I go. The staff is unbelievably friendly and professional and the food is out of this world perfection. read more

What an amazing restaurant. I usually go here just for drinks but, the few times I got there for dinner, it was just spectacular. Nice people quality food. Keep up the great work! read more

Wow. I'm not even done brunch yet and I am blown away. The flavors and atmosphere is fantastic! I've never wrote a yelp review mid-experience. My new favorite place for brunch and drinks. read more

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. This place might as well be a unicorn because perfection like this is hard to find! The food, service, location and atmosphere reads like a 4-5 star restaurant, but the prices reflect a trip to your local Olive Garden! Where can you find a beautifully plated dry aged pork tenderloin in NORWALK for $13?!?! I will recommend this place to every single person who will listen, the food is AMAZING. read more

Everything was soo good, the plantains with pico, the salmon ala plancha and the sangria it was all perfect!! Friendly staff, everyone was so nice to us and checked on us. I had gone to their other location and definitely had a better experience here...I will be back read more

I've been back a couple times. Most recently I got the Quesadilla con Camarones (shrimp quesadilla) which was quite good. I also ate the entire bowl of plantain chips by myself, so there's that. read more

This spot was nice! My husband and I visited here during Covid and they were really good about keeping customers distanced, providing sanitizer and lovely service. The food was great. I had the shrimp tacos which was ok. There was too much aioli so the soft taco got mushy. The drinks were a little weak as well but that's ok too. My husband got a rice dish which i loved! The chips we were greeted with were fresh and were made from plantains instead of the typical tortilla chips which i thought was super unique. The waitress, whose name i forgot, was really pleasant and constantly checked on us. She definitely earned that $30 tip. Would definitely recommend this place! read more

We decided to stop here on a Friday night and was not what we expected at all. I thought it would be more of a fun, mid-range place with an authentic feeling, seeing as it is in a shopping center in Norwalk, off the Meritt, but it actually tries to be high end. Though I liked the decor, again, it dictates more of a mid-range place as well, not a $28/entree restaurant. The menu is diverse, which had us wondering, what nationality is this place - mexican? no, brazilian? no...I guess a mix. The servers were on their game, although not very friendly. I got the feeling our waiter wished he was being waited on, rather than doing the serving. The food was good, not excellant, but good. Probably would not go back as it was not worth the overall $120 check for the 2 of us. (2 glasses wine, 1 app, 2 entrees + tip). read more

We had planned on stopping at the Indian restaurant next door but it was closed.. Decided to try Brasitas since we were already parked in the plaza and waiting for the rush hour traffic to clear on Rt. 15. We were pleasantly surprised by how amazing the food was!! Ordered the guacamole which was served with plantains. And the chicken empanadas which were very tasty! We shared the carne asada thankfully because it was a huge portion and worth the $26 price. Enjoyed a happy hour margarita for $6. We will definitely stop by again on our way through! Overall it was on the pricey side but the food was amazing. read more

I love the brasitas food, I go whenever I can, but I will not be back because on Wednesday I had an unpleasant dinner since two waiters were fighting, they were screaming a lot and one of them was acting very aggressive, almost to the blows, they were arguing in Spanish I could not understand what they said. It was very unpleasant to me and my boyfriend ordered the rest of the food to go and we left immediately. The situation was very uncomfortable and nobody stopped it, there was no control! My dinner was a disaster and I was very nervous and scared. I hope this situation changes because it is very unethical . read more

I did read the reviews on yelp and i though that it was a good restaurant but my experience on Brasitas Norwalk was different: First of all i arrived at 8:00 pm and the waiters told us that the kitchen is going to close in 10 minutes like saying hurry on order, we ordered the churrasco gaucho and it wasn't bad but that wasn't churrasco and the sides were like five baby potatoes... Plus, something did bite my husband and i, i am not sure if were mosquitoes or other bug, the dessert... the worst flan and bread pudding i'd taste and finally the check... i have been in a lot of fancy places and never that expensive for the quality of food and service, i don't think i will be back in this restaurant. read more

Very good food and the ingredients taste fresh. A bit on the pricey side, but worth eating here on occasion.

I had the churrasco with rice, beans and sweet Plantains (maduros). The maduros were good. The steak was okay. I didn't like the extra fattiness of the steak. I prefer more meat than fat but it was well seasoned. The tres leches cake was amazing. I highly suggest it. Next time I am in town, I'll try another entree but I will definitely order their tres leches desert again. read more

We arrived without reservations and were seated promptly.! The plantain chips and salsa were fresh and tasted very nice. We ordered the octopus appetizer. It was a special on the menu! Delicious! For my main meal I ordered shrimp and my boyfriend ordered the red snapper meal. My meal was great. I substituted Brussels sprouts for the jasmine rice. Service was just right food came at the right intervals. Boyfriend reports that his snapper was very good. This restaurant was a gem that we stumbled across on our way home from MA to PA. I highly recommend! Not far from Route 15 in Norwalk,CT. read more

See all

What a great surprise this place was!! Diamond in the rough for sure... every single thing we ordered was just so authentic and flavorful. The server was so friendly. I wish it was not 2hours away from home read more

Never a bad meal and the service has always been very good. (Our waiter remembered my name months after we were there!) There's something on the menu for almost every taste. I've brought friends, family and business clients here and all have been extremely happy! The prices are moderate, but the portions are quite large. You WILL NOT leave hungry! My suggestion is to try things a bit out of the your comfort zone! No one I've ever been here with (and I've braved this place with the pickiest of eaters) has ever complained or left unfulfilled! A bit loud, but hey - it's a busy place! read more

Talk about bad service; the food was good, not great. The servers have a bad attitude. I will not be going back to that restaurant. Their prices are too high to be dealing with servers with bad attitudes. read more

Great food!! But the servers has some attitude problem. There were only two tables occupied and they were very indifferent about both the tables. read more

Hidden gem! Great food...good service. The duck confit empanadas were succulent, as were the sirloin tips. Don't let the fact that the restaurant is in a plaza keep you away. read more

Great atmosphere. Their plantain chips & salsa are amazing. Coconut Mojito is out of this world. Great food and service. Can get a little stuffy when busy. read more

This place is really good. I only took one star away because I have been there a few times now and every time, the service was slowish. Everyone is so nice, it's not something I would complain about but if you're in a rush, make sure they know. And try the sangria! It is delicious! read more

Ehh. Honestly, I expected much more. Ordered two sangrias for the wife and I and it was the blandest watered down wine I've ever had...so far, so crappy. I ordered the paella and my wife ordered shrimp and rice. My paella was horrible. Rubbery seafood and dry rice-a-roni. My wife said her shrimp was ok, buy the rice sucked. I've eaten here before about a year ago and it was much better. I won't be back. read more

Sooo expensive,not worth the money Service is rude. Never going back The food was mediocre ,Each dish "try's" to be fancy but ends up being salty and cold No thanks read more

Our first visit was exceptional! An unplanned stop for lunch... Camarones con Torta de Choclo offered phenomenal depth of favors. Quick service but not rushed. Looking forward to returning again SOON! read more

Brasita is a super expensive restaurant. Empanadas appetizer was $12 for 3 small empanadas and they taste exactly like the microwave empanadas from the freezer at stop and shop. The dinners were $25-$30 each. The atmosphere is crowded. The tables are small and they serve plantains instead of chips. They charged me $4 for the plantains. I wasted $60 at this place on empanadas, a soda, and some plantains. read more

Absolute love The food at Brasitas! I'm Latin American and have traveled throughout the region a bit. I'll say that Brasitas offers great food and drinks, true to what would be offered in parts of the Caribbean and South America. I'll say the location and facilities are not that fancy, but don't let that deter you from going in. If you're looking for delicious food, you'll not be disappointed. I love the fried plantains and salsa they serve when you sit down, I can't get enough. Everything else, from the salmón a la plancha to bistec de caballo is to die for. I'm seriously getting hungry just writing this review. Try it out and see for yourself! read more

I'm in town for business and I'm always nervous eating at a place I don't know but I'll have to say that Brasitas was amazing!!!! Service was outstanding,environment was peaceful and the food was amazing! I have the sandwich de carne and i just can't stop thinking about it! I went to dinner with the rest of the crew at a well know restaurant but all I wanted was another sandwich!!!!!! read more

Went on Mother's Day, seated right on time and Fabio was our waiter. Terrific food and even better service! Paella was as good as anything you will find in the area... read more

Nice place to have a fun night, nice drink in a tropical atmosphere. Love the plantains chips and can't get enough! Service is nice and welcoming. read more

I went in for dinner around 8:30pm last Saturday and was blown away. I love this place. The staff is great and the food has so much flavor. I had a caipirinha which was mixed to perfection. I have 0 complaints. read more

So I've been to Brasitas twice-once, a while ago when the restaurant was still pretty new and a second time a few days ago. All I can say is, they're still terrible. I remember the first time I went with my mother, we both ordered a chicken dish and I remember it being so salty, I couldn't get past two bites. The same goes for my mother. The servers were inconsiderate and kept pushing that the dishes were supposed to be ridiculously salty and that our palates just weren't suited. Excuse me? We left while still paying the full price-angry and still starving. The second time, I decided to go with a group of friends. It had been a while and I heard the restaurant got better. Hell no. I thought things were going smooth enough and ordered a fish and seafood stew-something Caribeña. The squid was RAW. I repeat, RAW. Gooey and lukewarm. It was so disgusting and I prayed that I wouldn't get food poisoning. When I pointed out that my dish wasn't fully cooked, my waiter brought it back to the kitchen to talk to the chef then back to me and had the audacity to tell me that it was intentionally cooked this way to prevent the squid from getting rubbery. What? You're going to serve undercooked seafood to prevent it from getting rubbery. No. He said he could ask the chef to cook the dish some more but I was appalled and my friends were already digging through their mediocre meals. I spent the rest of the dinner picking at the plantain chips which were the best thing there. I received no refund or discount and I still paid the included gratuity of $22 to my rude and unprofessional waiter. My tip, stay away. There are so many better restaurants in Connecticut. Don't take your chances-Brasita's food is overpriced and mediocre-and sometimes dangerous. read more

Delicious, artfully prepared food, friendly staff made for a wonderful evening. We had the short ribs, curry, calamari appetizer... all were delicious. Mojitos and sangria were fantastic. Will come again! read more

Food and drinks are always delicious. Nice staff, great customer service. Have gone several times and they never disappoint.

Amazing food in a casual atmosphere. Really sweet service too. Try the pernil. It's outstanding!

Ate at bar and started with the chips and salsa - AWESOME!! Then the mojito arrived - AWESOME!! Ordered the shrimp tacos off the app menu - AWESOME!! I'm visiting from out of town and staying at the hotel next door. Had no idea what I was walking (literally) into....but so glad I did!! I am staying all week and will certainly be back to this place!! Food had amazing flavor and the service was outstanding!! read more

Was in Norwalk for 1 night on business staying next door at Hotel Even (very nice place and a great option). We had an amazing dinner here and great service. Don't be thrown that it's in a strip mall - this place is a GEM! The complimentary plantains and salsa are delicious!!! We had such a fantastic dinner that we ended up here again for lunch the next day before heading back to LaGuardia for our flight. Thanks much - please open a place in Chicago!!! read more

Very good! Nice atmosphere, very clean. Attentive staff. Busy at lunch time but they hussle so it works. Empanada appetizer is very good and so is the Cuban wrap for a lunch entree. Would good back. read more
