"Pollos El Brasero, a decades-old Peruvian rotisserie restaurant in Pico-Union, slings rotisserie chicken good enough to convert devotees of other perennially packed chicken joints. Wood-fired chicken is the star here, especially when paired with piquant aji verde, the latter good enough to eat on its own. In the simple dining room, where the smell of flames and chicken hangs heavy in the air, rotisserie lovers can find fowl bliss between bites of crispy skin and juicy thighs."
"The half chicken, cooked over wood-fire until its skin is crispy and charred, is a good portion to split between two (just order more sides to round out the meal). The chicken nests alongside a bed of fluffy rice with beans and an iceberg lettuce salad on the side, where it acts as a delivery vehicle for bright green, jalapeño-spiked aji verde. Any rotisserie chicken order comes with a handful of small containers of sauce, but ask for extra - you'll want them."
Pollos El Brasero is a decades-old Peruvian rotisserie in Pico-Union known for wood-fired rotisserie chicken. The half chicken is cooked until skin is crispy and charred and is served with rice, beans, and an iceberg lettuce salad, accompanied by bright green, jalapeño-spiked aji verde and small containers of sauce. Lomo saltado features thin, tender beef with onions and french fries alongside rice. Beverage options include Inka Cola and maracuya (passion fruit juice). The indoor dining room is sparse but the food travels well for takeout. Parking is limited nearby. Leftover bones can make a flavorful broth or chicken-and-rice soup.
