Born to Roar

León isn't a restaurant you stumble into — it's one you discover. Three founders, two culinary traditions, one fearless vision for Latin dining in Connecticut.

So many good things to say about this place! First of all the service was top notch. Our server was super attentive and kind. One member in our party had an onion allergy and they accommodated her perfectly. Second, the food was delicious! The chickpea tostadas were surprisingly tasty and so fresh.

Hidden gem! Once you find this great, second story restaurant, it will become a regular on the West Hartford lunch and dinner circuit for you. Food is exceptional in the atmosphere is warm and cozy, especially in the back room with the bar. The whole restaurant is on the second story of a blue back building with big windows overlooking a Whole Foods in Troutbrook. Highly recommend trying this place!

Leon Restaurant and Bar is such a great spot in West Hartford! The food is a delicious fusion of Peruvian and Mexican flavors, with the Peruvian side really standing out. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff is super friendly. Chef Ulises is amazing. His Peruvian ceviche was fresh and full of flavor, and the lomo saltado tacos were absolutely delicious. Definitely a spot worth checking out.

I have been to Leon twice now, once for a late lunch and once for cocktails and I had a great experience both times. The servers were very attentive, the food was fresh and very good. I loved the guacamole, chicken tamale and Tacos Al Pastor. Their cocktails are also delicious. The atmosphere is upscale and comfortable. Definitely worth checking out!
