Leña Brava offers very tasty food and good drinks. Customers enjoyed the volcanes starter, Chilean Bass, Turf Platter, Mezcal margaritas, and Molé Enchiladas. The skinny margarita was impressive. The staff, including Frida the waitress, was attentive and friendly, providing great suggestions. Dishes like fish, guac, salmon, and steak were fantastic. The restaurant has a cozy chic vibe, making it ideal for small group gatherings or date nights. The service is consistently kind and attentive, ensuring a positive experience. Customers also appreciated the flavorful seafood in the Baja Mariscada and the moist roasted chicken. The wood-fired platters come highly recommended. During lunch, the Leña Burger, wood-grilled ham torta, and papas bravas were well received, with the burger being juicy and charred perfectly. Desserts are also a highlight, described as fantastic. The warm and inviting atmosphere, with unique lamps on the table, adds to the charm. Sharing large platters was common and comfortably fed three people, with meat and kebabs cooked to perfection and potatoes that were anything but boring. The restaurant is praised as a great spot for upscale Mexican cuisine, with good service, excellent food cooked on coal and wood, and great value. Customers felt the experience was top-notch and look forward to trying Cruz Blanco, which shares the location and offers a more casual environment. The lively yet cozy setting makes it suitable for casual meals, celebrating birthdays, or special occasions. Some guests noted that while most experiences are excellent, special occasions like anniversaries may not always receive extra acknowledgment. Overall, Leña Brava remains a popular destination for flavorful dishes and good drinks, with a vibrant atmosphere that still feels cozy.
