"Not your average taco joint! Truly a fantastic dining experience across the board. Lovely atmosphere, tasty margaritas, and vibrant dishes full of color and flavor. The empanadas were perfectly flaky, the queso fundido is full of beef, and the chicharron literally melts in your mouth. The short rib tacos were a nice add with beautiful presentation and fresh toppings. The star of the show was the sushi grade tuna guacamole - such a unique idea, and was executed perfectly! Really, the only downside to D'leña is figuring out how to finish all the food!"

"Fantastic meal, good service, very nicely curated atmosphere. The cocktails were well balanced with some unique flavors. Not outrageous prices, overall a really pleasant meal. A great place for dinner in the Capitol DC area."

"Booked the chef’s table to celebrate my birthday and my move to DC— I had an amazing experience with my best friend! Dleña truly left an impression on me! Made my birthday dinner truly special and unforgettable! Eight courses and every one was INCREDIBLE! I enjoyed so much and will definitely be back for more!"

"Loved this place, AGAIN! The pork belly is out of this WORLD. So tender and flavorful. The short rib taco was delish and the perfect bite. The enchiladas were excellent. The drinks were weak, but I did get a good old fashioned. Overall, EXCELLENT"

"My friends and I had the pleasure of enjoying dLeña's bottomless brunch, and it was truly an outstanding experience. The concept of being able to savor a variety of delectable dishes for a single inclusive price was a game-changer. Personally, with dietary restrictions that exclude seafood, red meat, and pork from my choices, I was pleasantly surprised by the chef's willingness to create customized chicken tacos for me. I'm immensely grateful for their flexibility and the delightful meal they prepared. The fruit cocktail was an absolute standout - it was incredibly refreshing and bursting with flavor. So much so that I couldn't resist having not one, not two, but three servings! The mimosas were undoubtedly a hit, perfectly complementing the brunch experience. But my absolute favorite was the warm churros – they were a true delight that left a lasting impression. Overall, I would rate my experience at dLeña as a solid 9.5/10. The only reason I didn't give it a perfect 10 was because, although everything was exceptional, there's always room for just a little bit more. This brunch outing was memorable, and I'll definitely be returning to savor more of their culinary delights. Kudos to dLeña for providing a wonderful dining experience!"
