Leña Brava

Got there and apparently happy hour was going on great apps. Stay around for dinner n cocktails the food was tasty and the drinks were savory. The best about this place was the service Anthony (Antonio) was great he was knowledgeable of the meals and drinks. Definitely will return. We enjoyed the food so much we even did some take out after dinner

Went for HH and was not disappointed. Got all their Apps(~$5), the white wine was immaculate. My friends got Margaritas and they were just as tasty. We also got some items from their large plate menu and we loved them all. Highly recommend. The ambience is 10/10 and feels so cozy in there!

This was my first time to Leña Brava and it did not disappoint. We ordered one of each food item on the happy hour menu. I don't have a specific recommendation because they were equally delicious. Additionally, we ordered the al pastor which is only available on Fridays and Saturdays. I highly recommend this dish, wow! For drinks, we had a daisy, smoked watermelon margarita, vienna lager, and a Mexico calling - all delicious. Staff friendly and prompt, we will back next time we are in Chicago!

I ordered a chicken dinner with a jalapeño cream sauce. The chicken was cooked so freaking perfect. I didn't need the cream sauce! Dessert was yummy ? Drinks were flowing and refreshing. Great place to eat.

Wow!!!!! Came early with my mom and the food and service were top notch. The appetizers: guacamole and carnitas were done just right. The braised cabbage in a white sauce was superb as was the shrimp in a bed of rice. Also ordered a side order of beans with bacon bits which was well done. The dessert of tres leches cake was moist and smooth. I had the mezcal chocolate martini paired well with the cake. An amazing dinner. Went home happy.

Enjoyed my birthday dinner here last night (10/8) and it was exceptional. Our group of six started with their Queso/charred bread and guacamole/chips; both outstanding. Our cocktails and mock-tails were delicious; I enjoyed the Floridita…highly recommend. Dinner came and we enjoyed the chicken enchiladas, chicken tacos, el pastor, carne asada, tamal and carnitas….OUTSTANDING!! Our server was top-notch; very knowledgeable and attentive. He had a great disposition, the food was timed well and arrived piping hot. We sat by the open fire kitchen which was fun to watch. Overall, another exceptional experience at a Rick Bayless restaurant.

Food was delicious, and the service and ambiance were spectacular! Perfect for a date night, a meal with friends, or a meal with family! Very pleasant experience. Definitely going back!

Not your typical Mexican restaurant! Very creative take on the branzino/bass (worth mentioning the sauces that they pair it with) and fall off the bone short ribs. Great beer selection too! Highly recommended. :)
