“ Delicious food and excellent service. We were seated right away and they brought plantains and salsa almost immediately. Great selection of specials and cocktails: I ordered the pistachio crusted halibut for my entree. Service was very prompt. Highly recommend! ”

“ While traveling through Stamford and staying at the nearby Marriott, a colleague strongly recommended Brasitas for an authentic Latin dinner. My experience there did not disappoint. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive and the decor allowed a great environment. From the appetizer, to the main course and dessert every course was amazing. I strongly recommend trying if you are in the area. ”

“ Hidden gem serving Latin American cuisine in Stamford. I've been here for lunch and dinner; the menus differ slightly, but there are dishes to love in both. The meal always starts out with yummy plantain chips and pico de gallo salsa on the house. They have a variety of delicious-sounding cocktails; I typically get their refreshing red sangria. From their appetizers (in both the lunch and dinner menus), their empanadas are a stand out. The dish comes with three empanada flavors: beef, chicken, and pork. They're cut in half and served with a creamy guajillo pepper sauce. So full of flavor. Another delicious appetizer (only available in the dinner menu) is the "pinchos de churrasco", three grilled skirt steak skewers with chimichurri sauce. In terms of entrees, the "bistec a caballo" (from the lunch menu) is a must-try! It's a skirt steak that comes with caramelized onions and peppers, rice, black beans, sweet plantains, and a fried egg. The "churrasco gaucho" (from the dinner menu) is my other go-to. It consists of a 12 oz grass fed prime NY strip steak served with roasted asparagus, baby gold potatoes, and chimichurri sauce. These entrees are huge; I definitely recommend sharing. For dessert, I've tried their crepes filled with dulce de leche and the tres leches cake, which is topped with guava sorbet. My preference for tres leches cake is for the cake to be very moist, so I found this cake to be on the drier side. The sorbet is quite sweet and tropical, so I wish the tres leches cake came with a different flavor of sorbet, or with the sorbet on the side. The desserts aren't the most impressive part of the meal, but they're still worth trying. Service is fast and I love their interior decoration! The parking lot is quite small, but they have valet parking. ”

“ One of the best restaurants in Stamford. The food is always amazing, the service is great and the vibe is great. The plantain chips and salsa that come complimentary set the stage for an incredible meal. The food is always delicious, the steak and shrimp are my favorites. The sauce on the shrimp I want to just get a bottle and drink it! The empanadas are amazing. Really can't go wrong with anything. Small place, I recommend making a reservation since they get busy. Even on a weeknight! ”

“ This is an excellent Modern Latin restaurant in Stamford. The interior is colorful and clean. The service was attentive and friendly, and the food was absolutely excellent. We came here once years before, and we remembered the food being good but the place being really loud. The good news is that the food was just as good this time as we remembered it, and the place was quieter. The meal starts out with free banana chips and salsa instead of bread and butter. The salsa was a wonderful mix of tangy and sweet, while the banana chips were quite addictive. I ordered the branzino filet, which came on a bed of pesto risotto and had a scoop of guacamole on top. It was excellent! Others at my party got the chicken with curry, which was also phenomenal and came with sweet plantains and the paella. I did not try the paella too much, but I heard it was pretty good but a little dry. ”

“ We had a great meal at Brasitas last night. We've been going to Brasitas in both locations for years and always love the food and ambience. It was a beautiful night so the indoor outdoor bar was open. The place was hopping but even without a reservation, they were able to seat us. I'd probably reserve if there were more than two of us though. Plantain chips and salsa were brought over when we sat down and were delicious. Margaritas were good too, and they were happy to rim one with sugar instead of the usual salt, very accommodating! I had the branzino that comes with pesto risotto. It was excellent and I can't wait to go back and try other dishes. ”

“ Very nice atmosphere and interior design. The drinks are very good!!! The food was tasty and decorated nicely. I recommend this place ”

“ This is my second time here and I absolutely love this Restsurant. Everything we had was delicious. Starting with the coconut margarita with real chunks of coconut. They were delicious. We had the guacamole., empanadas and fish tacos which were awesome. My husband got the pork chop and I am not even a pork chop person but this was cooked to perfection and it was delicious. This is my new favorite place to go in Stamford. ”

“ This place has a very cute interior and wasn't too busy on the weekday night we went in. At times it felt a bit hot, not uncomfortably so just higher than expected, but they were pretty good at opening the door on intervals to let in the cold air, just don't sit right in the draft like we did and I'm sure you'll be fine. The prices were a tad high for my taste but the literal taste is worth the occasional splurge. So let's dive in. What we got: Homemade plantain chips and pico de Gallo salsa - 4* the first round is on the house and that's really all you need. The plantain chips are such a novel idea and delicious on their own or dipped in the salsa. And the salsa tastes so fresh and delicious! Arepas Con Pollo - 3.5* on the smaller side. They were good but I'd probably save my arepas for a specialized arepas spot and try a different appetizer here. Mango-Ahi Tuna Tartare - 3* this was a special. It wasn't my favourite. Fish tacos (I forgot their menu name) - 5* I am not a fish tacos family but these are fantastic. I would definitely recommend them and get them again. Only two come out with an order so be creative in how to split with a group of three. Jerk Marinated Grilled Swordfish - 4* this was another special and it was also quite fantastic. I don't know if I would have enjoyed it as much eating the whole thing on my own (it might've been a bit much) but I did like eating a majority of it and sharing the rest with the table. Coca de Jamon y Burrata - 5* amazing. Basically a really good pizza. The meat was 100% delicious. Ensalada de Remolacha - 3.5* I loved the goat cheese balls in the salad but the salad isn't one that would've filled me up if it was the only thing I ate. Glad the person who ordered it gets filled up differently! I wasn't a fan of the beets and thought the kale and salad dressing were pretty good. ”
