" We hosted our office party at Leña Brava and it was a hit! The ambiance made for a great start to our evening, and the food was exceptional—especially the short ribs which were cooked to perfection! The service team took excellent care of us and made sure our drinks were full. We ordered a few shareable dishes, and they were generous portions. I am definitely considering Leña Brava for our next corporate gathering! " (*Curated Review*)

" Leña Brava is a gem in the dining scene! The use of fresh, local ingredients shines through in each dish. We thoroughly enjoyed the empanadas and the grilled fish special. The meal was complemented by outstanding cocktails that perfectly matched the flavors of the dishes. However, the service was slightly slow but friendly, making it a relaxed dining experience. I'm already planning my next visit to try their seasonal menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came into Leña Brava with high expectations, and they certainly met most of them. The empanadas were a fantastic start, and the avocado toast was out of this world—definitely worth trying! However, I found the entrees slightly underwhelming for the price. The service was prompt, and the environment is buzzing with energy. I would consider revisiting to see if they offer new specials that catch my eye. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a family dinner here last week, and honestly, our experience was mixed. While the food was tasty, particularly the ceviche and grilled octopus, service left a bit to be desired. We felt a little rushed as dishes were brought out too quickly, not allowing us to truly savor the flavors. The atmosphere was lively but a bit cramped. I think we may return to try more dishes, but I'd suggest going during off-peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to take my friends out for a birthday celebration at Leña Brava, and it did not disappoint! We ordered a range of appetizers to share, including the guacamole and grilled corn, followed by the lamb neck and duck for mains. Everything was bursting with flavor - truly authentic! The desserts were also a highlight; the flan was exquisite. We received excellent service and will certainly recommend this treasure to others. " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot stop thinking about the delicious meal I had at Leña Brava. I ordered the salmon tacos, and they surpassed my expectations! Paired with a refreshing cocktail, it was the perfect meal. The ambiance is vibrant and perfect for a casual night out with friends or family. Our server was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I'll for sure be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Leña Brava was an absolute delight! The wood-fired flavors really elevated the Mexican dishes we tried, especially the carne asada and the duck tacos. The cocktail menu was impressive; I particularly enjoyed the mezcal margarita. Our server was attentive and made great recommendations on pairing drinks with our meal. The only pitfall was that it was quite busy, making it a bit noisy for our conversation. Still, we'll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)
