Brasas Restaurant & Bar

Located on East 187th Street, the restaurant is a handy 10-minute drive from the Bronx Zoo. Inside, you will find a spacious back dining area and generally outstanding in-person service. The food itself gets mixed reviews: guests praise the chicken sandwiches and beef carne guisada but note inconsistencies, like cold maduros or under-seasoned dishes. If you are ordering ahead, be prepared for potential frustration, as the phone service has been flagged for long hold times.
