dLeña

dLeña puts its wood-burning grill board on the Restaurant Week menu: birria tacos, salmon zarandeado, a build-your-own guacamole starter, and at dinner a mezcal-flambéed tomahawk upgrade for the table. Three courses for $35 at lunch, $65 at dinner, a real discount off the regular à la carte prices.

Good Deal when ordered from the regular lunch menu, the same 3 courses run about $46 a person; Restaurant Week lunch is $35. At the base price the menu includes lobster. 5 courses instead of the usual three. Supplements add up: $92 in upcharges across 24 dishes. Here’s how we calculate it.

About dLeña

dLeña presents a modern approach on classic Mexican fare. The concept celebrates “leña,” or firewood, and the nuanced flavors smoke can impart on both its wood-fired food, and smokey mezcal and tequila-centric menus.
