Our story: From our family to your table

Founded in 2025, Brasa Wasi was inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Arequipa, Peru. Our mission is simple—to bring the bold, authentic flavors of Peru to our community with every meal we serve.  

Our passion for Peruvian flavors

At Brasa Wasi, we believe great food brings people together. Founded in 2025, Brasa Wasi was created from a passion for sharing the authentic flavors of Peru with our community. What began as a dream has grown into our first brick-and-mortar restaurant in Tappahannock, Virginia, and we're just getting started.

The secret to our signature pollo a la brasa

Our signature Pollo a la Brasa is marinated with our family-inspired blend of herbs and spices, then slow-roasted over real charcoal to create the bold, smoky flavor and crispy skin that have made Peruvian chicken famous around the world. Every meal is prepared fresh using quality ingredients and served with our homemade signature sauces and delicious sides.

More than just a meal: A place to connect

We're more than just a restaurant—we're a place where families gather, friends connect, and everyone is welcomed like family. Whether you're stopping in for a quick lunch, feeding the whole family, or trying Peruvian cuisine for the first first time, our mission is simple: serve incredible food, provide exceptional hospitality.

"The best Peruvian charbroiled chicken I've ever tasted! Brasa Wasi truly brings authentic flavors and a welcoming atmosphere."
