The dish that you'll see most people eating at this casual Colombian spot is their roast chicken. And it's for good reason—it's juicy and perfectly seasoned. But if the allure of delicious drumsticks and thighs isn't enough to draw you in, maybe a $9.95 price point will. At Brasa Roja, that gets you a massive quarter chicken plate that either comes with potatoes and an arepa or rice, beans, and salad. You'll often see a bunch of takeout orders going through the colorful space with fake roofing and painted clouds on the ceiling, but grab a table—you'll want their chicken fresh out of the kitchen.
