" I tried La Leña for the first time last week. The ambiance is welcoming, and the decor reflects a blend of culture. I opted for the tostones with stewed chicken and they were superb! The chicken was tender, and the flavors were spot on. The only drawback was the wait time, which felt a bit long, especially on a weekend. Nevertheless, it’s definitely a place I’d recommend to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a regular at La Leña for months now. Never had a bad experience. The staff always greets me with warmth and familiarity. The flavor of the food consistently impresses me, especially the arroz con pollo. It’s always cooked to perfection. On the downside, the place can get a bit crowded during weekends, but that speaks to its popularity! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Leña has quickly become my favorite spot for Dominican cuisine. The flavors are always on point, and the service staff always greet you with a smile.

" La Leña is a hidden gem for anyone craving authentic Dominican flavors. From the moment I walked in, the warm atmosphere was inviting.

" I had the chance to dine at La Leña recently, and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed my experience! The empanadas I had to start were delicious, with a flaky crust and flavorful filling. The server was attentive and suggested the perfect margarita to pair with my meal. The one downside was that my main course took longer than expected, but it was worth the wait. Highly recommend visiting! " (*Curated Review*)
