I met a friend for a late lunch at Brasas Peruanas. The restaurant name "Brasas Peruanas" is…read moreSpanish and means "Peruvian embers" or "Peruvian hot coals." A little irony in that...Peruvian restaurant with a Spanish name. Their authentic Peruvian cuisine has bold flavors and traditional charcoal cooking. Brasas Peruanas is a medium sized restaurant with seating on both sides of the bar and at the bar. It is warm, inviting and laid-back...ideal for family meals as well as friend meet ups. My friend and I both had their standout dish, pollo a la brasa, a Peruvian classic (chicken marinated with spices and slow roasted over charcoal until the skin is crisp and the meat stays juicy and flavorful.) The pollo came with a green salad and French fries. The plates were quite generous and tasty. Perla, our server, was friendly and bubbly. Overall, good dining experience...next time we will try the seafood fried rice. Someone ordered this rice seating next to us and it looked amazing!

The…read morelocation is easy to get, it's at the corner of Wells Branch and Owen Tech Blvd. It's not quite in Austin and not in Pflugerville, it's in the middle of the two. For lunch, I made ordered the Naked Burrito. It has the contents of the burrito but no tortillas to make it, made into a salad. They serve with a variety of dressings. The service was pleasant. And very alternative in the server's tasks. He deserved his tip (18 %). Yes, he was that good. They also have chickens in various dishes. I like the charbroiled style either a full size, half and leg quarters. They are open daily. Their hours are 11:00 am till 9:00 Monday thru Saturday. Sunday is 12:00 pm-8:00 am. The restaurant is decorated as if you were transported to Peru.

Hubby loves rotisserie chicken and we saw Inka while we were out and decided to try it. Needless to…read moresay, he and my daughter were pleased. They loved it! I got a beef empanada and my husband said, I thought you didn't like those. Well I'm not sure where I got the last one but this one was GOOD! It is seasoned well and the sauce on the side is perfect for it. If you like rotisserie chicken, then you need to try it.

The food here is good to me, the buttered shrimp and rice, the fried chicken, the plantains, the…read moreavocado tomato salad and the buttered corn are what I had today. Most of the dishes are pork and I'm allergic But for the price and the amount of food they give you, it is worth it for a meal that can feed 2 people. I'm rating this place a 3.5 due to the customer service here is not as friendly as I believe they should be. The atmosphere is like a hole in the wall spot that's not so clean to sit down and eat. But, if you want to they do have outdoor sitting in the downtown area of Killeen.

Today I order 2 Cubans and 2 beef empanadas. It took 30 minutes to get my food but I've gone here awhile and excuse the long wait times. Finally, I get my food and rush back to work since the wait took so long. Sit down to eat my food, get done with a quarter of the sandwich when I see a COCKROACH smushed against the 2nd half of my sandwich. I called the restaurant 4 times asking for a manager and got hung up on every time. I clocked out and drove back to the restaurant with the sandwich. I asked for a manager and the dark haired lady behind the counter barely let me tell her the issue before she took the bag with the sandwich and went into the kitchen. She came back out with cooks following her. I don't speak fluent Spanish but I do understand it. The cooks were calling me a liar, saying it was impossible and that I should eat at home. The "manager" told another lady at the counter with red hair to refund ONLY one sandwich. I was not going to accept that when I couldn't eat any of the food I purchased after that discovery. I asked for the head manager/"her boss" and after a while, I got the right person who heard me and refunded both of my orders. Regardless, I will never come back here. I know a lot of people who come here including soldiers and I'll be sure to spread the word. My whole experience was disgusting and unacceptable including the service.

Parking is behind the building, and there's an entrance from the parking area. Let's get to the food, the ceviche sampler has always been a favorite of ours and chef Jorge has brought his infamous recipes right here to Giddings. The shrimp fritters are new to me and they were delicious, the texture was so delicate, it was like a party for your mouth. We also had the Sea Bass, and it was outstanding, I think I will order that again next time. Arroz con pollo (chicken with rice, Fuego style) was delicious as well. Cocktails are all made fresh with fresh squeezed juices and hand crafted. We will definitely return to Fuego when in Giddings.

My husband ordered their tacu tacu limeno which was 19.95, came with garlic rice, few pieces of tomatoes, and beef in a watery stew. My pork was cooked well, and it was really juicy, and the sauce was flavorful and paired really well with the rice. My husband's beef was tender and cooked well too. His tasted similar to a filipino dish. Servers were nice and attentive. Prices are a bit steep for the amount of food they give you, but it could just be the area they're in. Next time we come, I would like to try their ceviche! Overall, it was a good restaurant. Parking can be a bit tough since parking spaces are tight and there's also a boiling crab in the same plaza; people can definitely park better too.

Pro tip: It's not directly on Walton Way; it's on the side of the building. Wilson, one of the owners, kindly guided me to the entrance when my GPS said I had arrived, but I still couldn't see the restaurant. Please note that there is indoor and outdoor dining along with free parking. Fogonero is best known for its empanadas, arepas, and other traditional Venezuelan specialties. While all of those sounded tempting, I was craving one food specifically...plantains. I have a real weakness for sweet fried plantains, and lately they have become my ultimate "go-to" comfort food. Fogonero's plantains hit the spot. They were perfectly sweet, moist, and enjoyable to eat. The restaurant is a whole vibe. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a striking mural of the Venezuelan flag painted in vibrant colors across the wall. It's eye-catching, inviting, and instantly sets the tone for the experience. Alfred welcomed me with a warm smile and immediately recognized that I was there to pick up an order. He had everything packed and ready to go, making the process quick and seamless. His friendly, personable demeanor made a great first impression. I'm looking forward to returning and exploring more of the menu once my mouth is back in eating condition.

Husband enjoyed his plate and finished it within a few minutes. It came with 2 different types of sauces: a white cilantro flavored one and a red mild sauce that was a bit spicy for him.

I want to try their empanadas next time!
