Brasas Arepas & Grill

Visited on a Friday afternoon - restaurant was empty. As I walked in, didn't really receive a greeting. Ordered:Arepa Catira ($9.88)Ground beef empanada ($3.90)My waiter brought 2 packs of sauce to the table, she didn't let me know what they were. Tried both on my food - one was ranch and the other tasted like avocado ranch; not 100%. There was a wait on the food. The ground beef empanada was good; came to the table piping hot. My only con, it was greasy. Initially I wanted to build my own arepa, but it was too expensive; I was looking at $17. Instead I ordered Arepa Catira. If I knew how massive it was definitely would not have ordered an empanada. It was just okay for me.

This place was great! Loved the food and it was close to what I got in my last trip to Colombia. Wait staff was friendly and food came out great. All the Colombian dishes were tasty. We shared the picada and I sampled the Colombian chicken empanadas. We had the passion fruit and guanábana juice with the meal. I would 100% recommend.

I was surprised by the amount of filling in this arepa. Loved that it included shredded beef, chicken, chorizo, pork rinds, cheese and avocado. They also have an option to build your own. Although the chorizo could've been tastier, the dish as a whole was good and filling. The place is not huge, hence it does feel a bit crowded, but I will definitely stop by again to satisfy an arepa craving!

My husband and I got takeout and shared:- Venezuelan & Colombian Empanadas- Pabellón & Arepa con Todo- Mini Arepas Fritas- Queso de Mano Cachapa- TaqueñosWe also ordered one other thing that we weren't given which was unfortunate. The items we ordered were a bit hit or miss for me. The Taqueños and Cachapa were both delicious. I would definitely get both again. The Arepas were a bit dry for my liking. I'd try dining in next time to see if that helps with the consistency issues.

You don't need to go completely out of your way for Brasas, but it was fun to try something different. They have a lot of different options, including a lot of meat and starchy items. The workers were very friendly and it was easy to go with a group. Pros: - Unique options - Good for a group - Friendly service- Tasty sauces Cons:- Lack of healthy options - Although the servers were very friendly, we had to ask for the check twice before getting it What I got: - Picado Criolloa (for 2 people) - It was good but a LOT of meat!

A fun a delicious place to get a piece of Latin American cuisine.This place offers quite a few options. I ordered a cachapa with pork rinds and a cane sugar lemonade. They were both good. Our server was helpful and friendly, and the ambiance was just like being in a restaurant in Latin America. Beware, this business recently changed owners, so it has a new name: Brasas and Son Restaurant Bar) and the new name is being transitioned online. Also, it's a bit loud, the food smell will stick to your clothes afterwards, and the free parking lot has limited spaces since it's shared with adjacent businesses, so plan ahead.Overall, a great experience.

This place is really all about the meat and the arepas (which are delicious) but the FRENCH FRIES are also FAB. LOL My daughter had the Arepa del Gato and she said it was a yummy vegetarian option. (Avocados, cheese & plantains)The chicken was also tender and well seasoned - I think my steak would've been better if I had specified medium rare, so I'll own that. We really liked the sauces and even took some extra with our leftovers. The place has really improved its ambiance since the first time I came here and now serves alcohol.Expect to be greeted in Spanish by a friendly staffer and to eat among native Spanish speakers. We'll def be back!

Nice place. The waitresses were very friendly and helpful. The service was good but of course the food was the highlight. I had a plate of food that was enough to feed two people, carne asada, chorizo, chicharrone, fried egg, plantain, avacado, rice and arepa. Everything was delicious. I'm not sure why this place doesn't get more attention. Everything about it is commendable. I don't get to Charlotte often, but if I go back I will head straight back to Brasas.

The food and service were amazing! We took third graders on a field trip to learn about Colombian culture and their foods and to be immersed in the culture and experience. They accommodated our very large group, everyone got their food orders quickly, and all students enjoyed their food. The restaurant is a small but quaint place to enjoy very authentic Colombian food.

Food was good. Service was good. But be careful with the check they are charging 8.25% of NC taxes instead of 7.25 as well as adding service charges of 15% to a table of 4.Chequen sus cuentas, les estan cobrando mucho mas de taxes y aparte les incluyen el servicio sin ser mesas grandes.
