This spot is wonderful, usually get a half chicken with rice and beans and then as many empanadas as you can eat. Solid Colombian spot. The interior of this place is great as well. In the front you can watch them cook the chicken and the service was fantastic and friendly.

The best Rotisserie chicken that I tried ever. I don't know what's their secret, but it tasted so good! Plus the prices are very fair for the amount of food you're getting. I definitely will be back!

Started off with great empanadas and then had roast rabbit. It was really tasty!

Takeaway: Some of the best roast chicken I've eaten - fast service and extremely reasonable prices!
Context: Had lunch here by myself (earlier in the day). Haven't eaten a lot of Colombian food specifically before, but have definitely eaten tons of roast chicken and empanadas
What I Got:
Empanada de Carne (8/10)
Empanada with beef and potato filling served with aji. I read a lot of complaints about these empanadas not tasting super fresh, but when I got them at ~11AM -they were hot and perfect. The filling was great - soft beef and potatoes with an intense umami. The casing left a bit to be desired though and was a bit on the thicker side for my personal tastes.
Half Rotisserie Chicken (8.5/10)
Half of a rotisserie chicken served with potatoes, corn pancake, and plantain. First of all - I think the chicken was just incredible. The skin was immaculately crispy and the meat itself was tender and juicy - even the breast which I typically don't like. Flavor-wise it wasn't the strongest, but that was fine for me considering how great the chicken itself was (I used the aji that came with the empanadas, which I liked, but don't know if that's what folks do). The potatoes and arepa were very normal, but I quite liked the sweet plantain! Extremely sweet and the right amount of caramelization.
Soursop Juice (8/10)
Just a great soursop juice - pulpy and sweet. Don't see these everywhere so was a pleasant surprise!
I read a lot of complaints about the service here, but I personally didn't encounter any problems. Potentially could be because I went so early and there was only one other table at the time, but wanted to note that I didn't experience any problems personally!

Wow, what a great place to take our production crew! We recently wrapped on a long day of commercial work and we had just enough time to walk over to the Pulaski and Addison location. Talk about a suuuuuuuuper friendly staff. The food was “buenísimo” and so traditional. Also, the menu totally fit our budget and the BYOB only sweetens the deal. We shall return!
La Brasa Roja, always a good call. 🥘
