This Cinco de Mayo, Leña turns 10!

We’re marking a decade in the West Loop with the things that have always defined us: live-fire cooking, Baja wine, agave cocktails, and dinner by the fire.

Thank you for gathering around our tables for the last 10 years. More anniversary moments to come.

Mother’s Day at Leña Brava. Full menu, all day Sunday.

She’s earned more than flowers and a rushed brunch. Treat Mom to an afternoon or evening built around wood-fired favorites, thoughtful cocktails, and the kind of dining experience that feels as special as she is.

Reserve your table.

There’s a small bar upstairs, six seats, nothing flashy. You sit, you order a drink, and before long you realize you’re not in a hurry to leave. The room moves around you, and the night sorts itself out.

You’re invited to celebrate Easter at Leña Brava.

For Sunday, April 8th only, our wood-fired dinner menu will be served all day, with highlights including our signature striped bass with garlic scapes and summer squash, and grilled lamb chops with charred lemon and citrus chile.

Add a round of cava mimosas or start with our freshly made Michoacán guacamole with salsa macha for a true celebration.

You make the reservation. We’ll handle the rest! Link in bio.

Seafood meets fire in the Baja Mariscada. Lobster and shrimp kissed by flames, mussels and scallops simmering in lemongrass-infused white wine butter, finished with bright herbs and fresh lime zest—every bite inspired by the beauty of the Baja coast.

We always start with the fire. It’s our most important ingredient. K**b onions, charred outside, sweet all the way through. One of those small things you might not notice until you do.
