"Unlike a lot of other spots doing bottomless plates, Dleña has food you’ll actually look forward to. You can easily make a whole meal out of standout dishes like carnitas tacos and chicken and waffles, and everything on the menu is pretty tasty. If your group adds the bottomless beverages, the assortment of drinks includes three flavors of mimosas, a couple of bloody styles, and, of course, margaritas. The Mexican spot is filled with cacti and firewood (that they use to cook the food). The bar takes up about half of the room, but there’s still plenty of space for large groups at tables in little alcoves." - mekita rivas, omnia saed, tristiana hinton
"Chef Richard Sandoval’s dLeña will extend its bottomless brunch service in honor of January 20. From 10 a.m. until 3 p.m, choose between ordering bottomless food and drinks ($69) or bottomless food ($45) and drinks a la carte. A la carte pricing is also available for food." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Descend Richard Sandoval’s modern Mexican restaurant’s stairwell illuminated in an amber glow to find gender-neutral bathrooms that seamlessly blend into its lower-level mezcal speakeasy. With high archways, wrought iron touches, dark-slated wood ceilings, and a full-length mirror, the space begs to be snapped." - Abi Newhouse
"For $159 per person, with an optional $100 coursed beverage pairing, enjoy a multi-course meal that begins with wagyu empanadas with almonds, truffle cheese, guajillo cream sauce, and chimichurri and ostiones a la leña with grilled oysters, celery root, bacon morita jam, chipotle mignonette, and smoked trout caviar. Mains consist of wagyu filet mignon with lobster mashed potato, and grilled Pacific halibut with grilled bok choy. Top off the experience with desserts like honey vanilla cheesecake, creme brûlée with espresso, agave gooseberries, and orange butter cookie, and a selection of ice creams and sorbets. Secure plans here." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Mount Vernon Triangle’s Mexican darling sets a lofty bar for bottomless brunches, churning out both bottomless booze and food ($69 per person, or $45 just for food) in a chic dining room washed in comforting neutrals and accented with rustic wooden beams and tables. Wash down birria tacos, churros, tuna ceviche, and salmon with tequila bloody marys, mimosas, and margaritas on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m." - Emily Venezky
