Heavy TableAugust 12, 2014Go for the succulent pulled pork (alone or nestled atop a roll, doused in pickled cabbage and the famed, addictive "green sauce") and so-good-it-can’t-be-good-for-you creamed spinach Read more
City PagesAugust 21, 2014Most everything is great, though this critic is partial to the deeply flavored rice and pigeon peas with local ham, and the cabbage salad, an ephemeral, minty elevation of traditional cole slaw. Read more
Ricki GroskreutzAugust 20, 2014Try as we might, we haven't come across a single item we didn't like. Sprinkle the Hot Pepper Vinegar on your scratch made tortilla chips - ADDICTIVE!

The Butterscotch Pudding will be the best $3 you spend in your life.
Robin EdmanApril 20, 2015The rice and beans are the best, just a little spicy. Be warned, though. In the evening the service is excruciatingly slow. It's worth it, unless you're in a hurry.
NicoleMay 11, 2013The sandwiches are amazing-pulled chicken and pork! Also the sides are tasty and you can get a few to share. One of my favorite places!
Ogul Sertac KayseriliogluFebruary 25, 2013Mekaka soup. The legendary soup... If you like fish, you should order that one. soup includes fish, shrimp, rice and a little spice. Try it!
Jeremy DowdMay 5, 2011Inventive non-alcoholic drinks, well-seasoned slow cooked meats, and soulful sides make for a great meal. Restaurant opens all windowed doors in the summer for a fresh breeze.- City PagesNovember 26, 2012Voted top 15 places to eat with kids! The food is responsibly farmed, free of chemicals, and abounding in delicious vegetable options.
- City PagesNovember 13, 2012Voted City Pages top ten takeout restaurants! The premium rotisserie restaurant serves dine-in guests also whips up the same fare for takeout.
- Robin EdmanApril 12, 2015Their scrambled eggs were so nice and fluffy, and I love their rice and beans.
- Erik LaingDecember 12, 2015Order to share, its the right thing to do, and the pulled chicken is surprisingly good!
J KuehlFebruary 4, 2016I am now craving a Spicy Masa Corn Cake and definitely a Pork & Over Easy Egg. (^~^)<Mmm'mm
Order the over easy egg & pulled pork bowl. And a corn muffin. To. Die. For. This will now be the only thing I order here.
On Sundays get a tortilla, breakfast potatoes, beans and rice, and an egg. It creates the perfect breakfast taco! (:
Mpls.St.Paul MagazineNovember 30, 2010The mojo sauce that comes with the slow-roasted pork should be used on everything: pulled chicken, yucca fries, shoe leather, everything.
Fernando FloresMarch 14, 2012Try the Smoked Beef With Yellow Rice And Black Beans - So good!! And reasonable prices
Brasa's Brussels sports are amazing. They should be on the regular menu.
Edward HJanuary 11, 2012If the brussek sprouts are available get em! Also the cornbread is delicious...i had 2.5
- Get in before 2 on the weekends so that you can pick up some yummy brunch! Eggs benedict, all the way ;)
- Green sauce goes with everything! The new mac and cheese is delicious (:
- Heavy TableJune 29, 2009Smoked & Braised Beef: slow cooked, chopped, and seasoned with the Brasa's "signature" mild sauce. Tender and robust, with a hint of sweetness, it just shouts: "beef!" Read more
- On Saturdays, call to order and pick up, otherwise, plan for long wait.
ᴡ ThompsonMarch 30, 2010Great family style local restaurant. Emphasis on rotisserie/Southern-style cooking. Try the yams & andouille sausage!
Mike WassenaarMarch 13, 2010All good. Collards tremendous. Creamed Spinach to die for. Yuca with mojo picante muy sabrosa.
Poe KoppOctober 5, 2014The last few times I have been to Brasa the food was not worth the high price. I would not recommend it- the pulled pork was dry and the green tomatoes were so thin and only 3 slices.
David Edgerton Jr.September 28, 2010Braised beef, black beans, and yellow rice. Don't forget the pineapple ginger ale.
Carrie RigdonSeptember 2, 2017I like the food but after sitting at our table for 15 minutes with no service (place was not busy), we left
