Pollo Ala Brasa

Having lived in Lima for many years and frequenting the best pollo a la brasa that Lima has to offer, Pollo Aa Brasa - Gardena rivals anything that Lima has to offer. They do it a la leña and if you've yet to try it you are seriously missing out. There fries (papas fritas) are also made fresh and as good as the chicken. Pair it with a tall chicha morada and you'll be transported instantly to Peru's finest pollerías.

I came to this restaurant to show my supervisor a HOLE IN THE WALL restaurant that can't go unnoticed. We were luckily able to find a limited parking space in the storefront.

Upon exiting the vehicle, the smell of campfire smoke from the rotisserie pit is noticeable. A large pile of firewood is stacked on the side of the restaurant.

My supervisor was intrigued by the view of the chickens rotating above the spitfire. We ordered a QUARTER DARK MEAT COMBO with two sides and a fountain drink. I selected Cole Slaw and Rice, and my drink of choice was Peruvian INKA KOLA, which tastes like a blend of Coke and Mountain Dew. The chicken is delicious and has a distinct smoky flavor.

The seating and tables are limited, but the walls are adorned with inspirational drawings of Peruvian civilization in this unpretentious mom-and-pop store. It's an excellent spot for AFFORDABLE EATS in Gardena.

Some of the best & tastiest Peruvian Rotisserie chimkin in LA.
Sides are good, and the Aji Verde sauce pretty much taste like magic.
Ask of pay for extra green sauce, I use mine generously.
Service is always quick since chicken is made through out the day. Expect a line if you are going during lunch-rush or dinner.
Place is small, but you get the bonus points of smelling the chicken form like a block away haha
Area is sketchy, kinda hood so it is what it is.

Best Peruvian Pollo a la Brasa I've had in Los Angeles, by far. Friendly staff, great service

The chicken has such a great taste, it's cooked to perfection! The rice is a bit bland, but the chicken and sauce makes up for it. We went all in and got arroz con leche, it was delicious not too sweet so we really enjoyed it. The service / staff were welcoming and took their time to make sure they included extra utensils as we had ask.

The ambience is bad is next to train tracks and outside dirty the beans was almost like mashed potatoes the chicken so over cooked and the one taking order was as bad as the chicken sold here she serious and not friendly C my last time eating at this D

Pollo Ala Brasa ) is a dive that serves up some of the best wood burning Peruvian rotisserie chicken I have eaten. The wood they use for their rotisserie is piled up outside the restaurant and appears to be locally sourced.
We were lucky to sit at one of their 6 tables. You order at the order and pick up your food at the counter. We ordered 1/2 chicken( their Aji Verde sauce comes with each order) coleslaw and fries. When we got our order, I was looking at the crispy golden chicken with the juice dripping and the smell was so succulent- I didn't take a picture I just went face down, it was so so flavorful, juicy, tender. I dipped my fries and the Aji Verde sauce, the Peruvian chicken needed - NOTHING!!

This place really is like a hole in the wall with delicious chicken. I've been here a few times and always have taken my food to go, there is not much room inside. The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly, parking can be a problem though. The salsa they give is also delicious but it has a strong kick to it, not for people that can't handle the spice. I would recommend the chicken, fries and the beans. Normally I would get the rice but to be honest it's just plain white rice, you are better off getting the fries. Definitely worth checking out

Chicken is really good. Highly recommended for sure. Service was fast. Thank goodness they had AC it was a hot day

Absolutely amazing!

Ordered lunch for our team - their pick and this place was absolute fire. Known for their whole chickens and chicken skewers, lots of goodness on the menu. Their salsa(verde) sauce is great on everything as well- it brings the heat.
