Leña at Mercado Little Spain

This restaurant has its own style. No exaggeration, the employees are first-rate, particularly warm, well-informed and immediately make you feel comfortable. Their dishes were forgettable at best. This small restaurant delivers quality dishes. The entire meal was wonderful & I intend to come back!

Food here was exceptional. We sat at the bar and the pulpo octopus dish was probably one of the best i've had anywhere. The bartender Tenzin was awesome, and made some great recommendations!

Kenya you are the best! Thank you for your “¿más cervezas?”. Pleasure to meet you! Love you from Spain!

We loved our visit to Lena during our recent NYC family trip. Our server was great explaining the different variations on the menu choices and we felt the place had that relaxed Spanish vibe where you’re made very welcome and not rushed to finish up. We had the amazing burgers, the octopus and the pork shoulder. All were excellent.

Kenya is amazing. Mercado Little Spain became my safe haven in the Big Apple. Everyone here is very kind, especially Kenya and Andrés. They become friends rather than bartenders quickly. You will not regret visiting this place or meeting the people who currently work here.

Had a few drinks here. Kenya the bartender/server was one million percent above normal service. Had drinks and bites with a friend. Perfect service.
