“ Takeaway: Some of the best roast chicken I've eaten - fast service and extremely reasonable prices! Context: Had lunch here by myself (earlier in the day). Haven't eaten a lot of Colombian food specifically before, but have definitely eaten tons of roast chicken and empanadas What I Got: Empanada de Carne (8/10) Empanada with beef and potato filling served with aji. I read a lot of complaints about these empanadas not tasting super fresh, but when I got them at ~11AM -they were hot and perfect. The filling was great - soft beef and potatoes with an intense umami. The casing left a bit to be desired though and was a bit on the thicker side for my personal tastes. Half Rotisserie Chicken (8.5/10) Half of a rotisserie chicken served with potatoes, corn pancake, and plantain. First of all - I think the chicken was just incredible. The skin was immaculately crispy and the meat itself was tender and juicy - even the breast which I typically don't like. Flavor-wise it wasn't the strongest, but that was fine for me considering how great the chicken itself was (I used the aji that came with the empanadas, which I liked, but don't know if that's what folks do). The potatoes and arepa were very normal, but I quite liked the sweet plantain! Extremely sweet and the right amount of caramelization. Soursop Juice (8/10) Just a great soursop juice - pulpy and sweet. Don't see these everywhere so was a pleasant surprise! I read a lot of complaints about the service here, but I personally didn't encounter any problems. Potentially could be because I went so early and there was only one other table at the time, but wanted to note that I didn't experience any problems personally! ”
“ 02/11/22 - I've driven by before & have eaten at their Montrose location. They have a good rotisserie chicken meal @ an outstanding price. For $7.95 you get 1/4 chicken, beans, rice & a cabbage salad w/carrots. The price use to be $5.95 pre Covid but what hasn't gone up? It's still an excellent value. You can't even get fast food @ the big junk food chains for less anymore Brasa Roja also has a steak, beans, rice & salad lunch meal for $7.95 (next time). They have a rotisserie rack in the front w/multiple chickens being cooked over an open flame. Excellent value & very good food. They now have 3 locations. The original one @ 3120 W Montrose Avenue This one @ 3556 N Pulaski Ave & one @ 4011 N Elston Ave Excellent rotisserie chicken cooked to perfection w/very good beans. This also comes w/rice & a shredded cabbage & carrot salad. They also have a special ribeye steak for lunch @ the same $7.95 value meal (NEXT TIME) ”
