Quick cocktail and some chips and salsa. Molcajete style salsa with some out of the bad chips. Good tequila and mescal options and decent cocktails.
OH MY GOSH THE BROCCOLI SALAD IS TO DIE FOR. Seriously, it was so delicious. I am dreaming of one right now. I will go back to eat another, and then eat everything else! They make their own sodas also! Tom Douglas, you truly do amaze us patrons at your diversity in the culinary arts. You and your team of amazing chefs, WELL DONE!!!! Service is always top notch. Nice!
Just amazing! Great service & mouthwatering food! I haven't tried such amazing flavours in a very long time. You guys managed to take us back to the visited "mercados" in Mexico which such amazing food.
We have been travelling through Canada and Seattle and this restaurant is by Far the best .
We strongly recommend it and it should be on the "must" visit places in Seattle.
Well done guys! ;)
Honestly--literally-- the best nachos ever. Do yourself a favour and come eat here. My cousin ordered his with no meat and it was still the best nachos he's ever had. Cadillac the nachos for more toppings than chips. 100/100
Great food, Amazing drinks, and a kick-ass bartender. I absolutely loved my time at Cantina Leña, on my first visit to Seattle. Can't wait to come back!
My family and I swung by here for lunch right before our movie at the Cinerama, next door. We found the food delicious! The breakfast burrito, wet, was very tasty. I loved the fried potatoes and the cheese sauce they drizzled it with. I had a gin and tonic and I found it very refreshing and would've ordered another, had time permitted. Food did take a bit to get out to us but honestly, it was all so good, we didn't seem to mind after being served.
We definitely plan on coming back - that or I could see swinging by for dinner and drinks.
Hands down, best tacos I've ever had. Started with the brisket, ended with the chicken. Fried pinto beans were awesome. I'd eat here everynight if I could. Great location, cool vibe, friendly staff. Solid house margarita as well.
Good Mexican food for downtown Seattle area, right next to Cinerama! The queso dip was amazing & the sandwich was delicious. However, the menu was limited (no fajitas, for example), more of a bar focused place. Good to hangout & would get the queso again!
Jackfruit taco was underwhelming in taste, but still nice for those looking for a good vegan option. Jalapeńo margarita is amazing! Kimchi quesadilla is super filling and perfect for a hangover. Definitely dive into the nachos and ask to add beef!

Went to Cantina Lena for an early dinner yesterday. We were looking for a good margarita, and it didn't disappoint! They were delicious. We were going to get some tacos, but we ended up just ordering the Nachos as they were pretty big and were enough for us to share. I would HIGHLY recommend these nachos! Can't wait to go back and try some other dishes from here. So far my favorite Tom Douglas restaurant, besides Serious Pie.
I got Sausage and Eggs for Saturday brunch. Sausage was a little too sweet for my taste, but very juicy. It combined well with the eggs and the beans. Rice had a little bit of kimchi spices. Guacamole was just mashed avocado though.
Came here for happy hour on a Wednesday. It was not busy. We ordered nachos and 2 strawberry slushy margaritas and 1 regular margarita on the rocks. Honestly the strawberry slush kinda sucked because of the straws. So it was really hard to suck anything up because of the paper straws. Would have preferred the margarita on the rocks because of that reason. The nachos were the BOMB !!!!! So good cheese. Loved everything about them. Cheesey and lots of avocado. We also got the fried beans? That were seriously so good! Never had anything like it and it was awesome. Ordered happy hour fish taco and it was delicious. It was fried so if you don’t like fried fish avoid. But it wasn’t overly fried or even oily. I usually like grilled fish and enjoy it a lot. Cheers!
Very nice and cosy Mexican Bar Restaurant. We spend some hours with our team event. All kind of Mexican finger food was served as buffet. The cocktails are very goood. Staff is smiling and helpful. This was a nice experience. René.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!
That was the most amazing burrito I've ever had! That in comparison to Mexican joints in SF, San Diego, & Los Angeles, is something to Cantina Leña can be proud of. The flavors from the meats and the slaw and the sauces blended so smokily well together. Props to the chef for the food and Melissa for being an awesome server. And, it paired all too perfectly together with a Michelada. If you order the Kaiju burrito, be forewarned, it's massive. The three of us could not finish it. That means more for later!
Our go to spot for great Mexican food at a fabulous price. The place is cool, ample room to sit in the dining area or at the bar. The bartenders attentive and all the service friendly. The enormous Cadillac nachos are topped with perfectly smoked carnitas. The slushy margarita is our addiction. Margaritas are dangerously delicious, the special process they use to freeze it makes them unique- super creamy and cold as ice. Many food choices, all incredible!
