" Leña Brava is a fantastic addition to the West Loop. I loved being able to sample their spicy shrimp—just the right amount of heat! The service was exceptional; our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere is upscale yet relaxed. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic Mexican dining experience combined with contemporary flair. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Leña Brava last night for a quick dinner, and wow! The beef tacos were sensational—loaded with flavor and freshness. The service was prompt, and the wait staff were knowledgeable about the menu. I also appreciated that they offered a range of choices for different dietary preferences. It is a bit on the pricier side but worth every penny for an authentic experience. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I made a reservation for dinner, and am so glad I did! The vibe was fun and the staff warm. I enjoyed the lamb tacos—they were so rich and flavorful! The portion sizes were just right, but I could've eaten more of the amazing guacamole. Overall, a solid experience, although I did feel it was a tad pricey for what we received. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible dining experience at Leña Brava last night with my partner. The setting was relaxed, and the food was out of this world! We tried their famous birria with homemade tortillas, which was so fulfilling. The service was thoughtful; they checked in on us without being intrusive. Ending with a delicious chocolate dessert was the cherry on top! Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambience at Leña Brava is warm and inviting, perfect for an intimate dinner. I had the short ribs, which were outstanding and so tender. The service was spot on, quick, and friendly. I would have liked larger portion sizes for the price, though. Overall, a great place to enjoy good food and good company. I will be back for sure! " (*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*)
