My Take
Our Take
The Spot
Leña Brava takes its name from the Spanish for "ferocious firewood," and that's the organizing principle here: Mexican dishes cooked over hardwood fire, paired with a wine and agave spirits list built around Baja. The restaurant sits in Fulton Market District and shares a building with a sister restaurant next door, operating as its own distinct concept.

Regulars point to consistently strong service and bold, creative flavors, and the restaurant has built a reputation as a destination for special occasions, with a loyal base of repeat customers.

Michelin selected Leña Brava for its guide in both 2019 and 2020.
