About this venue

Editor's Take: dLeña, meaning 'from the firewood,' brings an elemental heat to Mt Vernon Triangle. Chef Richard Sandoval celebrates Mexican heritage through a wood-burning grill, offering smokey, rich flavors that pair perfectly with their world-class mezcal collection.

dLeña is a modern Mexican concept that focuses on the wood-fired grill. From our subterranean tequila lounge to our airy dining room, we provide a sensory journey through Mexican cuisine.
