I have always wanted to tour the Latin Americas and what better way to do this than having a gastronomic trip by way of the first of its kind restaurant in the Metro.
Brasas, meaning live coal, stayed true to their concept serving budget-friendly good grilled food.
I have been hearing good reviews about the food at Brasas and it was such a delight to find out that they were offering a deal at their branches in SM Aura and The Block SM North (less 50% off) thru Deal Grocer.
My sister offered to drive me up north and accompany me as I redeem my vouchers. Between the two of us, here are the food items we had for our late lunch.
 |
| ENSALADA DE LA CASA Charcoal grilled meat (Pork) with Mixed Greens, Seasonal Veggies, Crunchy Tortilla Chips for an added texture tossed in Lime Cilantro dressing. We liked how the crunch of the chips but found the dressing too "lime-y" for our taste. Next time we'll try the Orange Walnut dressing. :) |
 |
| CARNE ASADA FRIES Large-cut Fries topped with Special Chili, Monterey Jack cheese, Tomato Salsa and Sour Cream. The toppings were generous and even though the fries went soggy, it still tasted delicioso! ♥♥♥ |
 |
| AREPAS Grilled Corn Cakes topped with Grilled Beef, Tomato, Sauteed Onions and their Chipotle Sauce. I adored these sweet savory things. It was love at first bite! ♥♥♥ There were four cakes in their serving but I totally forgot to take a picture before gorging on the first cake. :D |
 |
| CARNE ASADA Charcoal Grilled Sirloin with South American Slaw, Petacones and Spanish Rice. The beef was so juicy and tender. I would have loved this with the rice and beans; but nevertheless this dish was superbly done. ♥♥ |
 |
| PUERCO ASADO Slow-roasted Pork Belly with Crunchy Skin, South American Slaw, Fried Plantains, Rice and Beans. WINNER! The meat was melt in your mouth and the skin was super crunchy. The fried plantains were a hit with my sister, while I loved the rice and beans. ♥♥♥ |
The food and ambiance at Brasas gave me the Latin American vibe even for just a few hours. I will definitely come back here (with or without vouchers) and have another serving of their Puerco Asado. ♥♥♥
