I've been to this Peruvian restaurant a few times before because I usually like their roasted chicken. This time I called in an order for tallarines saltados and two whole chickens for my family. They told me it would be ready in an hour, which was fine. When I arrived to pick it up, the owner handed me the food and casually said he replaced my tallarines with lomo saltado -- without asking me first. He said it was "a better choice" and that they were out of tallarines. I told him clearly that I did not want lomo saltado, but he kept insisting, so I just took it to avoid arguing. When we got home, the real problem started -- both chickens were undercooked, tough, and hard to chew. It was so bad that I told my kids and family not to eat any of it, and I ended up throwing everything in the trash. I paid good money for this meal, and we didn't get to eat at all. Changing an order without consent and serving raw chicken is not acceptable. I won't be coming back. read more

The owner is super nice, caring, and helpful upon ordering. Las Brasas currently has quite a few good deals. Specifically the lunch deal that contains 1/4 piece of a chicken and 2 sides with rice. The crispy potatoes are amazing, all for $9 with a drink as well! There are lots of space to dine in and well decorated representing the culture and an image of what the restaurant has to offer! read more

Las Brasas Charcoal Chicken - 1/2 Chicken Dark w/ 2 sides and soda Combo - Peruvian Near Me - Houston, Texas

. I've visited this restaurant three times now and unfortunately the experience has been consistently underwhelming. The service and communication could definitely be improved; asking basic questions about the menu or looking for guidance felt a bit uncomfortable, as if it was an inconvenience to the staff. During my most recent visit, I was even told my order was "weird," which threw me off. They were also out of sauce, which made a noticeable difference because the rice was pretty dry and really needed that added flavor. Without it, the dish tasted a bit like leftovers. The chicken was cooked well and smelled great, but the flavor didn't quite match the aroma. I really wanted to like this place, and I gave it multiple tries, but the overall experience just hasn't been what I hoped for. read more

Las Brasas Charcoal Chicken - Tiny sauce cup for family chicken fried rice - Peruvian Near Me - Houston, Texas

Hello! I am updating my review since the last time I came. My last review was from 2019, I used to work in the area and would be a frequent customer for lunch. It was always delicious and the portion sizes were awesome. The salad was always fresh, inside was clean and organized. Usually the service was like chipotle where you order and they take the chicken out right in front of you and give you your sides. Fast forward to 2025--- I came a few times but the last time I came was not the best experience. Now when you order- they pack your food up for you and don't show you the food in front of you. Which is fine but man the portions are smaller now, and the sides are not as fresh. We got the Caesar salad and it tasted so old and the lettuce was all wilted. I had to throw it away. As for the sauces they used to give, they gave us 2 sauces and they were both watered down. I feel like the quality definitely went down here which makes me sad. read more

Las Brasas Charcoal Chicken - 2 piece dark meat.... Notice the skin on the leg is non existent lol. - Peruvian Near Me - Houston, Texas

I came here to try the food through the App TooGoodToGo where you can get food at a discount. I go inside and tell them how many box I ordered through TooGoodToGo and they start packing the food for me. It is usually an order of the chicken, some rice, beans, and plantain. I would order a drink from them if they have it. It's a nice fast casual restaurant, it's really clean feel and the temperature is good not too cold inside. This place also serve halal food here. read more

Mi experiencia en Las Brasas fue muy mala. La comida llegó fría y además encontré una mosca cerca del plato, algo totalmente desagradable y poco higiénico. El servicio tampoco ayudó a resolver la situación. No recomendaría este lugar, ya que la limpieza y la calidad de la comida dejan mucho que desear. read more

bruhhhh, I have eaten this on meal prep for the last two weeks. I'll order a family style meal that comes with two whole chickens (they cut it up for you), and 4 sides. Keep in mind, Yucca fries run out fast, potatoes are the number one seller. When you order, they often forget one item. If you are door dashing or ordering online, keep in mind when they run out, you will need to substitute something. You aren't the only one that wants to order here, and they know it. They will call you, and you better pick up! or else your DoorDash driver will sub it for whatever they want. They missed something out of my order like 3x/ now, but im still coming back because that chicken is smacking!!!! The plantains, broooo heavenly! Potatoes - highly recommend, and make sure you get some sauces on the side too!! I like the beans, I think it's flavorful for sure. Am I coming back? Hell yeaaaaaa I am! like next week! read more

Las Brasas Charcoal Chicken - family meal: two whole chicken, plantain, fried rice - Peruvian Near Me - Houston, Texas

Casual Peruvian chicken joint. Got the mixed 1/2 chicken plate for fries and black beans. Very tasty!!! Chicken cooked perfectly.

I love the food here it definitely gives off a hole in the wall vibe with the fried rice, The plantains are cooked so great. The workers are also very friendly . read more

I love this place the food is so good. I order take or don't good to go which is a great community builder in itself. The chicken is always so juicy and I love the plantains. They don't typically give plantains for the too good to go but I don't complain. Just get my large plantain and enjoy my day. The owner is very hands on and even gave me a credit when they had a catering job and I had already paid. Have friends come from across town to get the wraps and the grilled beef tender as well. The vibes are very family friendly. read more

Chicken was okay, the food was pretty much sides the half, whole or quarter order of chicken. The flavor from the chicken was decent but not too sure I would drive that distance from downtown area again. The staff seemed busy with several Togo orders so standing in line waiting a while to have my order placed as they were packing and grabbing more food from the line was a slow down read more

This place, the cooks know how to cook that chicken right. It's cooked with actual coal. Oh lord it tastes GOOD. Their sides are also delicious. Potatoes, veggies, platanos (fried plantains) and let's not forget the rice pilaf! I took my folks there last month, they had just arrived out of town. We walked in very late. The cook was still gracious and served us even though they were behind with orders and had run out of sides due to their customer load that day. We were not disappointed when we got our food. That chicken was spot on and the sides were to die for. My parents can be unusually picky always saying how one thing or the other didn't meet their expectations. Well not this time! They asked if we could go back there before they went back home! Lol! read more

I was craving rotisserie chicken and saw this place that's close to my house so decided to give them a try. Not sure who all is back there cutting the chicken but The lady that served me, not sure if she was PMs but she definitely didn't want to be back there. Her services was terrible. 1 - these guys don't believe in A/C - it's hot in there 2 - I ordered half chicken with fried yucca and they didn't have any - I had to settle with French fries which it was tasteless 3 - the half chicken I ordered which is breast/wing/thigh and leg was the size of the palm of my hand.. I'm average 5'6 so both pieces were tiny 4 - I just wanted water to drink which they only serve bottled drink and they didn't even have water 5 - their green salsa was the highlight of the entire restaurant. Little runny but had great taste. If I go back, I would just order the green salsa and purchase my chicken but H‑E‑B or krogers read more

First time going here and slightly disappointed. The steamed vegetables had no seasoning and tasted like they came out of a bag . They had no sauce and the salad they gave me was lettuce with three cucumbers on it . The chicken however was absolutely amazing ! The staff was nice and they were quick to provide me my order so I do appreciate that read more

Food fresh & service good. Charcoal chicken savory and consistent. Would go there again and recommend to friends.

I was waiting like 1:30 hr for my food but they never made my order ( call them and they said trynna to call me or something but that's a lie I never received a call from them) and the guy you talked to me I said a lot lies I'm not recommending this place for no reason read more

I had a delicious meal here, enjoying a quarter chicken with fried rice, steamed broccoli/carrots, and plantains. The chicken itself was incredibly flavorful, and I loved the sauce bar they had on the side. The plantains were also a sweet (literally and figuratively) way to end the meal. As others have mentioned, this place is Chipotle-esque cafeteria style, so there is minimal wait time. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for some delicious Peruvian chicken in the area, and I will definitely be back! read more

Great option for me to switch things up a little on a Thursday. Stopped in around 5 and the place was empty and the staff was welcoming. The place is very spacious and well lite. It's cafeteria style so there's no wait to get your food. I got the 1/4 chicken, rice, veggies and fries. Overall the food was great. I would recommend to anyone for sure. read more

The chicken is PERFECTION! Absolutely delicious, 100% authentic. The sides are more ... hit or miss. But the chicken is fire y'all!!!

Service not as great but food and extras are good - the chicken are constantly serve - chicken a little dry and not good cause indicate the time was cook - the pico de gallo sauce always complement all the flavors - still a place to go and take out read more

The first time I tried this place was in 2016 and I remember I wasn't a fan of how dry the chicken was. Today, I decided to give it another try and I'm really glad I did. I ordered the rotisserie chicken with rice & black beans and I really liked it. I wish I would've tried the lomo saltado wrap. The service was nice so I would definitely come back to try different things! read more

Food is delicious especially the chicken, potatoes, and the plantains!! The service is good and they take great care of us. Highly recommend

The cashier was a friendly kid, but the food was cold. The cook was on his cell phone all the time I was there, touching his hair and face without washing his hands. The gloves are pointless if employees do not wash their hands. This was my first and last time here. read more

Honestly, I'm happy they decided to offer halal food to the Houston community, because before them my options for Peruvian food were either my own home or bribing a friend's grandma. Both have their pros and cons, but neither are as easy as being able to order a Lomo Saltado burrito off of UberEats. If you haven't had Peruvian food before, don't read this review and just try it. I always like to talk about service but having only tried them through delivery apps I can't say much other than our orders have been correct and the food is ready when the driver arrives. They have a fairly straightforward menu, and our reigning favorite is their Lomo Saltado burrito which is the best combination of savory meat, different textures, tangy sauce and pure convenience. If it was reasonable I would pick one of these up for lunch every day. Their family platter is the crowd favorite and offers delicious sauces, sides and their flagship roast chicken. It's a great introduction to the cuisine although I find the portion to be a little lacking for the price. If you've reached this point I can only assume you're 1 of 3 people: You've already had Peruvian food before, you haven't but wanted to see what I had to say or you're just a rebel. Either way, go check them out and support a small business! read more

The chicken, beans, and rice were all flavorless. So I supplemented the flavor with their 3 sauces which were unlimited since I dined in. I couldn't finish my food, so I asked for a Togo container and togo 2 oz sauce containers. After I spent $25 plus a tip on my entree (for 1), they had the nerve to try to charge me for the to-go sauces containers at the end since I couldn't finish my food there. Something about that irritated my very understanding of the fundamentals of customer service or courtesy. So I gave them the sauces and my left over to go plate to throw all of it away! I will never revisit this place again. read more

I found this place years back on Groupon and instantly became a regular. Fast forward to 2025, not the same. I understand what inflation has done to everyone's pocketbooks, but this restaurant looks neglected. Fountain machine does not work, freshly made juice were unavailable, no variety of beverages even in the cooler. The sauces or sauce I should say because only one kind was available. Their chaufa rice was day old rice. This was a complete let down and has left me with the desire to never return. I truly hope that the owner still takes time to visit reviews and makes the necessary changes to keep loyal customers. I decided to give it 3-stars because the chicken was still delicious and flavor packed. read more

Terrible experience. I ordered a ribeye--no ribeye, no rocoto, no Inca Kola. Got cold, flavorless chopped meat and rice. No traditional Peruvian sauces. Staff was rude and careless. I gave them the benefit of the doubt to support a small business, but this place has gone downhill. Sad to see how they've neglected both the customers and the restaurant. Won't be back. read more

The roasted chicken is dry. Service is kind of slow. I would recommend the arroz chaufa (fried rice)

I love the food and the services they treats customers right. I will surely recommend everyone to visit and try this good food

Very disappointed in "TooGoodtoGo" program. Ordered food from app with the thinking I would get a Surprise bag filled with delicious food as advertised for only me and my wife . Got there around 2pm on Friday and displayed a print of the paid order but, the waitress insisted she see it on my phone. Ok after I guess i proved to her it was legit, she gave me one piece of chicken, one scoop of rice and a scoop of potatoes and handed me the plate with a bad attitude. I walked away thinking wow, Sat in my truck for minute what did I do to deserve this service. So this surprise bag of food is a scam and I will not be back, will tell other to stay away from this location. read more

I have had this place bookmarked and wanted to try it for quite a while now, and my husband was finally on that side of town so we decided to pick up! The fact that they make a lot of chicken at one time is good because there is not a long wait time to pick up the food. The spices on the chicken were great and it was perfectly moist and tender. I did not like the fries I had chose at someone of my sides, they were the thick cut fries and there was nothing special to them at all. I would have liked if they would have some spices added to them or even a special dipping sauce would be nice but they were nothing special. I did like the rice that came with the chicken Because it was great, and the cilantro rice was just fine too. I would like to pick up again because I think it's great that I was able to get a whole halal chicken that was already cooked, but I will probably not be driving down here just just for this place. I am still getting 5 stars because The chicken was that good even though the sides weren't. That should tell you how good the chicken was. I will say that I do appreciate that the service was good and the person over the phone was willing to go through the sides with me and help me come to the decision of what to order. A little customer service goes a long way and these guys did it right. read more

2 star because they gave decent service. Two issues I had with this place. The first one was where they had a promotion that they should have applied but never did. Being in a hurry, I did not check my receipt. The second issue was that I was charged a few dollars over what my receipt showed. Take a look at the receipt. The charge I received on my card was $30.93 (Yelp is not letting me upload it for some reason). It was a take out, so there was no tip. Although the difference was not big, seems unethical to me that a business would do such a thing. read more
