Leña y Carbón has a new location!
Bruno N.

Absolutely fantastic. My parents, who both grew up in Peru, thought it was the best Peruvian restaurant they had experienced in a while. Three adults and three children under 10 ate here in May 2022, arriving shortly before the dinner rush. We ordered ceviche, pollo a la brasa and anticuchos, with the little ones sharing chicken and an order of salchipapa, as well as Inca Kola and chica morada to wash it all down. Most of the food arrived quickly and piping hot -- well, except for the ceviche, which is supposed to be cool (duh!). The chicken was absolutely delicious, with a smoky overtone that persuaded me it was actually cooked with leña (wood) and/or carbon (charcoal). The anticuchos were nicely seasoned and generously portioned. Likewise, the ceviche was decently portioned, too, and the fish was of good quality. Surprisingly, there was a dearth of hot sauces brought out, but as everything was so tasty, none of the food needed it. The service needed a little prodding, but that sort of thing isn't so unusual even in the finest Andean establishments, regardless of what hemisphere it's located in. The decor made an effort to stand out, with neat Edison (bare-filament) lightbulbs attached to light fixtures made of plumbing pipe. It entertained the kids at least as much as the two large TVs showing a European soccer match and what appeared to be a Peruvian tourism channel. From our vantage point on the corner-situated restaurant, we could see what appeared to be the previous location, right across the street. I imagined that the restaurant had enjoyed enough success from its top-notch food to open a new location, and it was definitely worth it!

Cerviche Duo - Basa cerviche and Chicharron de Pescado, both are delicious Maracuya was a medium sized carafe Chicken Skewers were delicious Causa with Octopus was very good Seafood Aeropuerto Chaufa is delicious! I'll be back for more. We had no idea these plates were so big, we ordered for a whole family lol. I honestly thought the ceviche would be a small cup hehehe

The salsa music in the background gave it a nice touch as we enjoy a great appetizers and plentiful meals with phenomenal flavor. Highly suggested to try any of their wide range of plates, including the soups, ceviche, and fish dishes, and classic lomo and steak plates. The salad, including the mango and avocado salad was a hit, especially with the red onion. The only downside is we came on a Tuesday afternoon and the kitchen was understaffed so the food came out a little bit slow. However, everything was hot and still tasted amazing so we really didn't mind waiting for a little bit while catching up. The space is a small restaurant in a shopping plaza and will not easily accommodate parties larger than six. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area and are looking for an upscale twist to classic Peruvian cuisine.

The food as also good, but our table placed an order of calamari. It came and while the table was eating we noticed a hair in it. We sent it back with the understanding that same would be removed from the bill. We continued enjoying our night. When the bill came, which was over $500, the calamari($17) had not been removed. The waitress said that too much of the calamari had been eaten before we noticed the hair. In all fairness we were close to 1/2 finished when the hair was discovered. We asked for the manager and her took the dish off of our bill. We thought the issue was done, it was not. Out of left field, a member of the 'security' staff came to our table and threatened us with violence and arrest while claiming to be a police officer. It is still unclear what upset him. No one from our table had spoken with him prior. It was such a scene that he made, we decided that it was time to leave. The security person continued and went to the manager to continue. As we were leaving, I asked the manager what the problem was and the security person was still going. He was clearly unhinged and in need of medication. We will never return to this place even though we were having a good time and spent a significant amount of money there. The hair and other mistakes/miscues by the waitress were not even an issue. The treatment from the member of the security staff who should have no interaction with customers was uncalled for and shows a lack of judgement on the manager for poor hiring practices. It also showed the managers lack of control of his employees. Is they how they normally operate? I can't say. We will never know as we will not return. Oddly enough my wife and I during dinner, discussed this restaurant as a possible location for our daughter's 18th birthday dinner later this month. Nope.
