I can only speak about the actual food because I ordered to go. I bought the cookies at the counter which were a nice little treat. I have never eaten Peruvian food before but I loved it! The chicken and sweet potato fries were amazing! The appetizer was different but flavorful. I definitely want to come back and try some different dishes!!!
Visiting Lexington, KY, looking to have lunch. We found a Peruvian restaurant that served Rotisserie Chicken. Walking in smelled sooooooo good. We knew we were in for a great meal !!! Allison was our server…. she was great. Very friendly, attentive. but not overbearing. Two notes….. 1) we thought the music was too loud…. It was a bit tough to hear each other when talking. 2) it would be nice for the, to have a wine license… to at least serve Sangria !! No alcohol is available. We ordered a full rotisserie chicken with salad & 2 sides to split. Our meal was over the top delicious !! The brine seasoning made the chicken so tender and moist. Included with our meal was a huge salad with tomatoes and cucumbers. Very fresh. We also ordered the tostones, which were thicker than we’ve had in other places… delicious. The fried rice was good but a tad dry. . The service was great, the food was delicious. Wish we lived closer to enjoy this restaurant more often.
We were visiting my son at the UK and my son have already dine in several times since school started, he have shared good things about the food, us Peruvians took his word, and definitely the food it’s delicious, my wife and the rest of the family could not thank enough and of how outstanding was everything, the services incredible was outstanding, Karel did a great job! The owner took out of his valuable time to come and say hello. Definitely next time we come back to Lexington will come back to dine. Very best wishes
This place is fantastic! We've dined in once and ordered delivery from here probably 6 times over the past year or so, and it is consistently excellent. The Peruvian chicken is on point and their sauces are authentic. In our most recent order they included a chimichurri that was out of this world, hopefully that's a new thing going forward. Highly recommended if you're a fan of authentic Peruvian/South American cuisine!
What an awesome experience!! I drove more than 1 hour to get there but worth it. The food was delicious, the pollo a la brasa was the same flavor like in Lima and they also had the same original sauces. I dined in Pollo a la brasa and ordered Tacu-Tacu with Lamb and Aguadito de pollo to go. And i won't forget to mention the service, they were so friendly. Thanks.
One person dining experience on a business trip. Absolutely excellent food with good speedy service. Their lamb leg dish (don’t remember what it’s called) is amazing. Good diverse menu options. Would highly recommend you to go try some authentic Peruvian food.
A Delightful Peruvian Dining Experience Our first visit to Brasa's was an absolute delight. As visitors to Kentucky, we were on the lookout for a memorable lunch spot and stumbled upon this authentic Peruvian gem. From the moment we stepped in, the inviting atmosphere and friendly service set the tone for a wonderful meal. Our waiter, Karen, was exceptional, providing attentive and knowledgeable service. The menu offered a diverse selection of Peruvian dishes, each more enticing than the last. We were particularly impressed by the Ceviche, the chicha Morada (homemade with purple corn husk) the Lomo Saltado and Aji de Gallina. Every bite was a flavor explosion, showcasing the vibrant and complex tastes of Peruvian cuisine. We highly recommend Brasa's to anyone seeking a truly authentic and delicious dining experience. We can't wait to return on our next trip to the area.
The roast chicken is seriously delicious and I love all the sauces. Everyone should give this place a try! Definitely will be back to explore the more adventurous parts of the menu.
