    This spot never fails with the especial de pollo. Get a cheese arepa and French with their green sauce. It's a delicious lunch you can't go wrong with.

    I got the whole rotisserie chicken. It was a great value. My buddy was raving about this place so I set the bar high. I found it to be good but not great. Still I would recommend this place. Maybe I came on an off day. I'd definitely give them a second chance. Didn't get a picture but had the corn pancake with cheese. That was something I've never had and would highly recommend to anyone visiting here for the first time.

    Great place. I was looking for a place to do take-out but was maybe a little less heavy than what I might get somewhere else, and in fact I actually wanted chicken which is probably how I found Brasa Roja online. They have three locations around here and when I did Grubhub I think it was from the Elston location, but I picked up here a few days ago at Montrose. The restaurant was really busy when I got there but when I called to place my order, she said to give them about ten minutes. Ten minutes?? Super fast. My Google Maps said it would take 12 to get there. Parking is probably a bit hit or miss but I lucked out finding a spot on Troy to pop in and pick up. I will definitely continue ordering from them because the quality of the food is fantastic, and it's delicious. I ordered the special both days, which was chicken breast, rice, and beans with a bit of salad. The portions are good--I had leftovers both days, which makes me happy because that's one fewer meal that I have to worry about. The prices were very reasonable as well as far as I'm concerned.

    In the world of flame roasted chicken, you can't miss this place. I have debated about which is the best in chicago and this makes my list. The chicken itself is 8/10 but it's the rest of the plate that makes it. There's no wilted coleslaw to drag you into regret. The service was good and I don't think I ever had to wait, which is shocking. In a perfect world, you could rent a recliner and watch a cup game after your chicken, but so far it isn't a feature. Definitely family friendly, not too quiet, and absolutely casual. Street parking but it's not difficult.
