   First, our waiter, Troy was AMAZING. The food was ho-hum. From the reviews I read, I was expecting the food to be much better. The fish tacos-kind of greasy. The churros were also greasy and covered in sauce.-too sweet. The salmon, chilaquiles, and birria tacos were good. -The margarita was good; however, the mimosa was not cold enough-but, still ok.

   We went to dLena for our 9th anniversary. The service was amazing - our waiter, the runners, and even management were very attentive and made sure we were enjoying our meal. We ordered multiple plates and each item was delicious - and that’s coming from a picky eater. They even surprised us with an off menu anniversary dessert. It was an amazing end to our day, and we will definitely be back soon!

Thank you again for allowing us to be part of your special day!

   This place is really hyped up and after going, I don’t know why. I am thinking it is probably because people like the brunch all you can eat. However, we just picked entrées because we’re allergic to a lot of stuff. When you have a single entrée to focus on, it is more apparent that the food is just not good. Chilaquiles typically have an egg. These were just nachos with a few pieces of dried beef. The chicken and waffle came out originally with no chicken. We sent it back and then they slapped on a cold piece of over-sauced chicken. I’m pretty sure it was a chicken tender that they bought frozen. It’s a cute place. But there was also something going on with the plumbing when I went. There was someone pouring bleach down the drains and nearly got splashed with bleach in the toilet area. I would never go back here again, but you all enjoy the all you can eat mid food

   It was good but they asked us to leave said the table needed to turn. We were only there 2 hours and ordered plenty of food and rounds of drinks.

    I'm delighted to offer a review of D'Lena. My two visits have consistently delivered an exceptional experience, with both the food and customer service being truly outstanding. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. While securing a reservation requires patience, I believe the wait is well justified. My partner and I shared the delectable queso fundido with mushrooms—simply amazing! We also enjoyed their flavorful Ensalada de Kale, featuring delicious figs, and the perfectly cooked Medio Pollo al Carbon. We absolutely adore D'Lena and look forward to returning soon.
