Description

Leña Brava brings together the elements of fire and ice in a harmonious way. Drawing inspiration from the multicultural seaside vibes of Baja California Norte, the restaurant celebrates live-fire cooking and offers a variety of world-class wines. The raw bar features tempting dishes like spicy aguachiles and unique ceviches, while the kitchen cooks everything on an open hearth and wood-burning oven. With a stellar selection of mezcal and wines from Valle de Guadalupe, Leña Brava captures the unique flavors of one of Mexico's most vibrant regions.

Service wasn’t good this time. Waited for an hour just to be told they never put in the reservation. Food took forever to come. Waitress was inattentive.

We had a fantastic time at Leña Brava! Brian Enyart is amazing and created a delicious menu- everything was so flavorful and interesting, especially the striped bass. Our server, Sarah, was so knowledgeable and made great recommendations! We will definitely be back!

The Striped Bass here is phenomenal. The service is good and location has an energetic, yet chill vibe. The Bass is a little pricey but it’s enough for 2 and worth every dollar. Sitting outside is definitely nice but sometimes the migrant children as cute as they are can be a little much constantly trying to sell candy.

Leña brava’s restaurant week is unmatched! The portions were huge for the price we paid and it was definitely worth it. The drink pairing was a steal for only an additional $25. Our server, Yohhani, was very attentive and made the experience even better. Thanks for making my anniversary very special. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Amazing food, sat on the bar during happy hour... the hamburger is a double patty, super juicy. The roasted oysters were, WOW and the empanada with the poblano crema was also delish. Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 5
