General Info
About Us
In a small restaurant during the mid 1950's, an innovative chef in Peru developed the modern day Pollo a la Brasa. It involves a slow process of rich marinating whole chicken, and then roasting them over a rotating oven to form a crispy skin. Paired with aji sauces made from native spices and coupled with a variety of side dishes, the Pollo a la Brasa became a national sensation.Ist undeniable success can be attributed to the fact that its delicious, moderately priced, and by its very nature, seems to gather groups of people around a table. Pollo a la Brasa has become the traditional go to dish for special events, ceremonies, and larger gatherings in Peru. It is viewed as a national dish to be proud of.
