    a plate of food with rice and a can of beer
    Samantha J.

    Discovered this restaurant through UberEats and I was very impressed! Delivery was fast, food was fresh and not greasy, and they have a big selection of sodas/drinks. I've ordered numerous times in the past weeks and my review remains consistent at 5 stars!

    Undercooked bloody chicken

    I've ordered from Leña y Carbon plenty of times and have always been a happy camper. My go-to is the chicken Chaufa, lomo and the Pollo al Carbon combo. Portions are well worth the price. However, the first time I ordered from this location I left extremely disappointed. The chicken was raw, pink, and bloody in all parts. If you ever had a black and blue steak, well this was the chicken version. Definitely was not safe to eat and avoided running the risk of getting sick. I was bragging to my friend how great this place is and it backfired. Neither of us were gutsy enough to try and eat it. I'm pretty adventurous but not adventurous enough to run the risk of getting salmonella. After today's experience, I won't be ordering from this location again.

    Metal in my food.

    This is my 2nd time ordering from them. The first time was sooooo good i craved it and ordered it again. This time the food wasn't good at all. Chaufa was extremely salty and taste burnt and as you can see in the picture the Lomo had a piece of metal knife in it. I spit it back out. Smfh. Never ordering here again.

    Maduros Burnt horribly on one side. Inedible!

    Everything's was fine. Until I had to use the restroom. Bathroom was beyond slippery, best part is there was absolutely no toilet paper. Not even paper towels! Ordered after I returned very uncomfortable. I ordered a Chaufa Mixto and maduro for myself. Fries for my son and my fiancé ordered 1/2 chicken with rice and beans and leche de Tigre. His chicken comes, no beans asked for the beans. Beans don't come for over 10 minutes. Mind you no one else is in the restaurant with us. It's empty. Not one other soul. His leche de tigre arrives. Babies fries arrive. My fiancé's almost done with his chicken. My foods still not in sight. Almost 25 minutes AFTER my fiancé's food comes mine comes from the kitchen. I'm not sure exactly what is happening in the kitchen but it definitely has spoiled my 1st and now my LAST visit to this establishment. There's hundreds of peruvian restaurants within a 5 mile radius I can go to. Never again. BTW My Maduros came out burnt on one side to the point they hardened and stuck to my teeth. And the guy who served us basically stayed behind the counter till he brought us food. Otherwise we didn't see him.

    The chaufa here is amazing. Way better than any of the Peruvian places I have been too. The portion is huge you could easily feed 3-4 people a decent amount. The perfect amount of seasoning, the chicken is crispy yet moist. I fell in love with this place and would highly recommend the chaufa to anyone.

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.

    Finally I could come to try this restaurant and I was gladly surprised, the hype is not fake…read more From the beginning, the attention from the personnel was super polite and respectful. I made a reservation and they've respected my request to be seated inside. The atmosphere inside is very vivid, like the name of the restaurant... it feels like you are in a party. My only wish is that they would play Peruvian music so the experience would be more immersive with the food. The menu is big and one of the things that I've liked was to see a lot of dishes that are not common in a Peruvian Restaurant outside Perú... like Aji de Gallina, Anticuchos and Picarones. Now the most important, the food... the quality was very good, since the plates arrived to our table, the smell and the presentation was a temptation to go all the way in. The ingredients used felt fresh and made to order. Every plate had its own characteristic and flavour... good size too. The "choco lucuma" cake for dessert was a great finish... moisty and the intensity of the chocolate and lucuma flavor to a good ratio. If you have the chance to try it... go for it, you'll not regret.

    lets start with the good.. service good taste of the food…read moreexcellent really tasty and authentic vibe, enjoyed most of it as far as flavor the taste was there i enjoyed but for $38 dollars plus on the lomo salteado and i get literally 5/6 small pieces of meat? i failed to see the value here, i mean for a one and done experience i could give it 4 stars, but as a return customer i failed or felt unsatisfied. prob wont try anything else on the menu at this place, really wanted to love it.

So I went to the O.G. location, where I learned that one spun off to a different owner. I always appreciate O.G. so I'm glad to find that this one is thriving in Passaic. A little off the beaten track, Leña does offer a parking lot if the street is full. Not too crowded inside - well, see my photos - they sat me at a nice large table of my own and brought over that delicious large corn with spicy green sauce. I don't know the names, but this is delicious. The waitress happily walked me through the menu options and, being Ecuadorian, informed me to what was the most traditional here. I went with Tacu Tacu con... technically Pechuga. * Purple drink: Delicious, authentic, large glass, fresh made, fruity and refreshing. Guy at the other table had a whole pitcher and I might have wanted that over just one glass! * Side of fried cassava: Was told that's how Peruvians like it, and that matches my South American recollection. Delicious with that green sauce. * Tacu was on top of a large fried rice patty. Well, not really a patty, it just broke apart into delicious bites bursting with flavor. Wonderful and authentic. * Tacu chicken itself was pounded thin but seasoned so nicely I couldn't put it down. * Large meal accompanied by lettuce and onions. Even those were somehow delicious - okay, more green sauce was used - but my plate exited my possession completely empty. Wish I had room left to try the dessert, the flan or coco version thereof, but too full of delicious Peruvianism. Glad this was on my must try list, glad I chose this location - I'll be back!
