At Leña, the menu is guided by the most magical and mysterious ingredient in the kitchen: fire. Leña brings together the best elements of Spain’s favorite grill-focused restaurants, including the asadores and steakhouses of the Basque Country and Asturias. Nearly everything on the menu is cooked over embers, including vegetables, meats, and seafoods, with a focus on larger grilled cuts of meat, like suckling pig and lamb.

The most spectacular experience that you could have outside of Spain is at this restaurant. I know I am in the restaurant business and I own my own restaurant and I bought people from out of town three times already and it is nothing but five star thank you to the crew the chef, the managers, the waiters, the bus boys, like I said five star

Hi Luigi, It's Steven. We spoke before you arrived. Really happy that we hit out the park again for you and the guys. I've notated you in our log as a "PG" (Preferred Guest) and the next time that you are in I will make sure to be there. Again, thanks for the support. Happy Holidays!

Our experience at Lena was just OK. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite hit the mark for us. Both the ribs and the wings were over-sauced, which overshadowed the flavors we were hoping to enjoy. We were really looking forward to a great meal, but it didn't quite meet our expectations this time around for the price we paid.

Hey Carolina, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Leña at Mercado Little Spain. We're glad to hear that you found our service satisfactory. However, we're sorry to hear that the over-sauced flavors of our ribs and wings overshadowed the flavors you were hoping to enjoy. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us to improve our menu offerings and the overall dining experience for our guests. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again and provide you with a better experience. Best regards, Steven & The Management Team

Such a lovely experience and for a great cause. Delicious food, great drinks and even better service. The customer service was amazing! My brother has a nut allergy and we were concerned about it and the chef offered to go to the back and get him food separately! Throughly enjoyed the experience and will definitely be back

I highly recommend the artichokes, they were absolutely amazing and the highlight of the meal!! Our server was Adrien who was extremely thoughtful and efficient. I have celiac and Adrien took the extra step, which no one has ever done before, of writing next to every single menu item if they were safe for me.

Prices are high for portions. 7 half chicken wings for $21! Small serving of eggplant and peppers for $16. Tapas shouldn't mean small portions for high prices.
