    The chef's table is an incredible experience!! Every course was beautifully crafted and delicious! Watching the kitchen run throughout the night was a treat; it felt like we were immersed in a cooking reality show with a the flames and the controlled chaos of the staff. We had the cocktail pairing which was just as artistic and exquisite as the meal. All the portions and cocktails were generous, so bring an appetite if you go with the chef's table experience. We were so impressed with the service of the staff; the table was wiped clean with every course and waters topped off constantly. It was evident the team was working together to stay on top of every detail despite the rush in the kitchen.

    Chef Carlos Camacho is truly a conductor orchestrating a symphony at dLeña, with every plate served being nothing short of a masterpiece. That’s the only way to describe what this artist (and artist he is) has and is currently doing in this wonderful Mexican restaurant. The way he uses his tools to spread and pour sauces, to form and shape proteins to his likening, and place micro-greens and flowers on each plate is identical to the way a painter brushes and strokes his canvas.
