Tasha TurnerApril 15, 2015This is the closet thing you will get to soul food in Minnesota. Consistently delicious, moderately priced, with a cool vibe. You can't go wrong with their comforting vittles! Parking is a challenge

Marco GAugust 20, 2014Hands down one of my favorite restaurants. Plates are to be shared. BBQ (smoked beef and slow roasted pork) is amazing and order several sides such as the yuca, fried plantains, and cornbread

Maureen SoulesOctober 11, 2015What's good here? Everything! The chicken curry bowl with yellow rice was perfect. If you have never tried curry, this is a great introduction. Try it with the collard greens. Very affordable too.
The pulled pork and over easy egg bowl is to die for. It's the best. I also like the pulled chicken plate with a side of rice & peas.
City PagesAugust 5, 2014It's a sort of Minnesota-farm-driven hybrid of two other restaurant traditions, namely the South American way of making rotisserie meats, and the classic Southern meat-and-three soul-food set-up. Read more
- Arielle LenoxMay 23, 2018Fantastic food - the crispy Yuca is amazing! Love it there in the summer when they open the glass garage door walls to take in the great weather!
Jon MayfieldAugust 19, 2014Delicious, #locallysourced dishes prepared with a blend of southern and Latin American influences. The yucca fries are to not to be missed. I would bathe in their cilantro lime aioli.
elizabeth reeseSeptember 19, 2016Come with friends and order everything. No. seriously. Standouts: the rotisserie chix, pork, collard greens, sweet plantains, and jalapeño spinach. Great paleo option!
Mpls.St.Paul MagazineDecember 11, 2012Best Comfort Food - Even if you didn’t grow up with a southern grandma, you can feel all wrapped up in love with some soulfully slow-roasted meats, cheddar grits, and pretty much anything else Read more- City PagesJune 18, 2012Voted Best Kid-Friendly Restaurant by City Pages in 2012! Concrete floors make for a quick clean-up! Slow-cooked, responsibly framed food is delectable for children & adults, & staff is quick to serve
Marty O.June 16, 2016Pulled pork very good. That spicy vinegar that's on the table? Use that on your pulled pork. My group all ordered different sides, they're all good
Duncan ShannonSeptember 6, 2017It's all about the meat. And the guac. And the corn cakes. And the house hot pepper vinegar. And alot more.
Dan JohnsonNovember 17, 2012Awesome, tasty experience - great value! Waitress from heaven discovered I left my iPhone at the table, sprinted outside to find us before we drove away! That's above & beyond.
Hakeem BilalSeptember 4, 2019Rotisserie chicken and sweet plantains, you can also keep your pint glass for $2 more
Jana A. KriJuly 2, 2016Delicious fresh food, service on point and great outdoorsy seating! One of the best lunch spots in the area!- City PagesMarch 4, 2013The slow-cooked food is delectable for kids and their parents, while it is responsibly farmed, free of chemicals, and abounding in delicious vegetable options.
Andrew ZimmernSeptember 21, 2010Pulled pork, guac, tortilla soup, yams and andouille, cornbread... wash it all down with a Jarritos. Heard amazing things about their brunch, but haven't been yet.- AngeJuly 15, 2016Everything is amazing here. We tend to get many small plates so we have have a little of everything!
You can add eggs to anything. In my book this makes Brasa the best all day breakfast spot in town!
Mariann Justmari Beard-GossNovember 12, 2015Red beans with smoked brisket yellow rice got me right together today! Had to get it all to go & my co-worker who hates the smell of anything told me it smelled like a small slice of heaven!
Always delicious, but if you're doing take out and want your salad tossed with dressing, double check if you ordered it that way! Inconsistent.
Joel JohnsonMay 15, 2013Food is amazing !!! Service is very slow..... They seem to take there own sweet time. The food came before our drinks. Guys in the back are working super hard. Pick it up girls!
Dr. Health InspectorMarch 2, 2017Try the yucca go outside of your comfort zone they have some unusual menu items that are very good.
Mpls.St.Paul MagazineMarch 11, 2011Try the Pork Sandwich. Slow-roasted pork, dripping with spices and a healthy dose of the vibrant and tangy mojo sauce, brings sense to this mad, mad world.—Mpls.St.Paul Magazine, February 2011- City PagesDecember 7, 2012Voted City Pages top ten sandwhiches! Brasa's scrambled egg & spicy sausage sandwich with gooey Jack cheese and a fresh slice of tomato ($6.95) "the sort of thing a chef serves himself
Jonathan OliverAugust 22, 2015I'm no vegetarian but the corn cakes with black beans and rice was the best thing I had in Minneapolis on a 10-day trip!- City PagesNovember 13, 2012Voted City Pages top ten sandwhiches! Brasa's scrambled egg & spicy sausage sandwich with gooey Jack cheese and a fresh slice of tomato ($6.95) "the sort of thing a chef serves himself,"
Anna BeaAugust 9, 2017The cornbread, pulled chicken, rotisserie chicken, collars greens, and yams were good loved the wine as well
Darius KalinauskasAugust 17, 2018The portions are quite big so if you thinking about sharing with one other person, take just 2 things ;]
Food RepublicMay 23, 2012While the meat was mighty good, we favored the filling vegetable sides, namely the crisp yucca fries, candied yams, rustic cheesy grits and the warm chunks of honey-glazed cornbread.- Love the gumbo fried rice. Expect to wait for a table if you come during lunch hour.
John E. ThompsonMay 20, 2011(For two) 1/4 lb pork; 1/4 lb chicken with gravy. Small sides of collard greens, grits, plantains (the yuca's good, too), and spinach. Lime Jarritos. Yum. Read more
Katie StreaterJanuary 23, 2012My favorite restaurant in the Twin Cities - you can't go wrong here. There is also a location in St. Paul whose menu varies slightly.- City PagesJuly 27, 2011Voted Best Takeout by City Pages in 2011! The yucca, slow roasted pork, and grits are all amazing, and all are available for takeout!
J WJanuary 8, 2015This is my favorite place to eat out. The food is always good. The price is exactly where it should be.
Lane PelovskyMarch 16, 2014Amazing! Try the pulled pork, Yuca Fries, Cheese Grits, and honey glazed Corn Bread
Allison GoetschSeptember 13, 2012Order the crispy yuca fries and pour as much hot pepper vinegar on them as you can for a taste-bud explosion!
Jason LukSeptember 3, 2015Get large sized sides! The medium sized showed up to me like they were a portion for a single person!
Nate SheldonJanuary 30, 2011If they have the spare ribs on special, get them. They are some of the best ribs in the city - thick, smokey, and juicy, but not overly sauced.
It's not Colorado Green Chili, but Brasa has the best I've found in Minnesota. Thumbs Up!
Charles EdgeJanuary 22, 2012Per Chuck, I grabbed the pork plate. I wish I had gotten a picture of the carcass. Love the coke in the glass bottles too!
Olga ZakharenkoAugust 29, 2011The yuca and yams & andouille are by far the BEST sides, especially when paired with the beef. Your taste buds will thank you.
Naveen ApDecember 9, 2013The slow roasted pork is a must try here ! It's delicious and almost melts in the mouth :)
The collards are now made with chicken, seasoned on site and magically delicious. You gotta try it.
Darren JohnstonApril 9, 2017This place is small and popular. They won't seat a partial party (everyone needs to be there to get a table).
