Las Brasas

While searching for the best fried chicken in town, I would've never thought that I'd find it at a Peruvian restaurant! Las Brasas is an institution in Decatur, serving massive portions at affordable prices. My partner and I ordered arroz chaufa, elote, and a half portion of fried chicken to share. The elote was creamy, salty, and very sour, probably from the Tajin and lime put on it-- but solid! The arroz chaufa was humongous, with enough portions to feed us for five nights-- tasty, too, and the sauce that went with it had a surprisingly-potent kick!Star of the show, however, was the Peruvian fried chicken ("pollo frito"). We got the half portion (which was the smallest amount), yet it was still massive with two thighs and a wing. I'll be honest and say that, while one of the thighs was perfect (tender, juicy, crispy), the other thigh was dry. Sadly, a bit inconsistent, but I still enjoyed most of the chicken and I especially loved the crackling outer skin. I think the chefs also sprinkled Tajin on top, which added an extra pop of flavor to an already-flavorful chicken.Be aware that service can be really slow and a little standoffish-- we spent over an hour at the restaurant, but to be honest, this is a place to take your time and enjoy the meal presented to you. Las Brasas is a great staple to the Decatur community, and I would return for more!

Cash is not welcome here and is printed on the menu at the bottom. Every dollar I have says, "Good for all bills both public and private."These people add 15% gratuity onto not just the food but also the tax on the food AUTOMATICALLY. This is in spite of the menu stating that gratuity (unspecified percentage) is added to parties of SIX or more.I had to argue with the waiter and then the manager to get it taken off of my bill. Our lunch was $42, and they added $7+ for tip. The manager countered that the policy changed before the new menu could be printed. I reminded her that the menu is the basis of my order and is all that I am willing to pay.My mind was made up to start a charge back as soon as I got home if she hadn't followed the menu and removed the gratuity billing. Also, the food wasn't that good. My wife and I shared the half chicken, which was overcooked and dry. The portions were so small that we were still hungry when we left and went for a walk at the mall and got some more food.The manager said the next time they would have the new menus, but I told her that doesn't matter because we will not be back. I then, discreetly, gave our waiter $7 cash.

Wow! My gf brought me here to get authentic Peruvian food, and it did not miss! The portions were so large, that we were able to take some for lunch the next day. We had the rotisserie chicken family style that comes with a large salad, fries, chicken and a few sauces. Oh, and don't miss out on the lamb empanadas! Literally the best I've ever had in my life, and I travel a lot. We will try the fried chicken on our next cheat day! 8.9/10

Everything was so good!! The food was amazing and seasoned so well. It definitely hit the spot. The inside was cute and small but the people were so sweet. The service was so fast! I would Definitely recommend. We will definitely be back.

Las Brasas was delicious! They had so many options we could choose from that all sounded great. A but difficult to choose from but I would highly suggest their Pollo Frito. That was our highlight and thought it was delicious. The service was quick and there is parking in the back!

Service is great, atmosphere a bit noisy, food was ok. Sauces are really good. Ordered chaufa, half chicken roasted and half fried, beans are not good, French fries were the best. Lamb empanada are ok

I came to this place in Decatur, Georgia for lunch. The food was ok, it carries a Peruvian profile, but is short by far when it comes to authentic Peruvian dishes. The server was really good, attentive and caring. The ambiance was nice, you can tell that several people around the downtown area, come for lunch here. I believe that in order to carry a Peruvian name, they should have more variety on their dishes and drinks al estilo Peruano!

The food was delicious and fresh. The drinks were reasonably priced and had great flavors. The service was great very fast and friendly. The ambiance was nice. I recommend the lomo saltado and lamb papa rellena! Pollo saltado and pescado ceviche were also YUM! Highly recommend coming here if you're a fan of Peruvian cuisine

Had a lovely lunch here on a Wednesday. The food was delicious and the server was welcoming and helpful. It was a rainy day, but I bet the patio is amazing when it's warm. The chicken was succulent and well seasoned. The French fries were super crunchy. The yucca and octopus was perfectly spicy and addictive. I had to force myself to stop eating it to save space for the chicken, which I'm glad I did bc it was equally tasty. The caipirinha was very strong and not super sweet, which was great. Will def be back!

Yikes what a waste of time and money going to this place. The service was unbelievably slow, the waitress said they didn't have beer on tap when they did, but the worst part was the mound of rice that covered my tenderloin steak. When I found a morsel, it tasted great, but finding it took most of my evening ! I realize this was a rice dish, but come on !!!I won't be back. Don't waste your time on a rice dish...
