Lesly's Grill

I didn't get chance to try their food since I don't believe the kitchen was open however the Bar was open though. I had a ice cold Modelo Negra then after that I ordered a Long Island Ice Tea which was really good and it crept up on me with every sip. I can't wait to go back again!! #GootSips

I've been here multiple times I don't know why I haven't written a review about it. Securities are on top of the game, the DJ always allows your music taste and well his performance is phenomenal. Waitresses are a top notch the best ones in the area super friendly and welcoming KEEP IT UP! Food I always get pupusas can't go wrong. Thank you for treating us like kings!

Me and My friend was looking for a late night spot in the neighborhood and We lucked up on Leslie.The women are solid and the music is great!!

The service was the absolute worst. I had to tell the "bartenders" what Tito's was multiple times. We bought the bartender multiple shots and charged us way more that what our actual shot was for a single. I work in the industry and trying to be nice we bought shots for the bartender and she charged us more for her single shot than ours. If my single shot of Tito's is 10.00Why is your shot $17 this is ridiculous. Never order a double from this place this is horrible!! And to top it off we tip more than the 15% already added on to be nice...

Man if I could do one good thing in life it would be to warn someone not to come here... worst service ever!!!! The manager Patty is horrible!!!! And rude!!! The server Genesis was so sweet and clearly wasn't allowed to have her own opinion or have a say in anything.. as someone that works in the service industry, I was horrified. Drinks took 30 min and they were wrong, juice was spoiled.Please save yourself the trouble and just go somewhere else. !!!!!!!

From the outside, you can never really tell if it's open. Here's the deal with that though from what I gather. The old Calvert House Inn had two "rooms". Lesley's essentially is just one of those rooms, so if you park out back, go in through the door by Lynn Animal Hospital. It's been seemingly maybe open for a few months now, but I can never tell if it's actually open, and there are NO reviews about it anywhere.We walked in the door, and the gold cup match between Panama and Mexico was about to begin on the four huge TV screens. The faces of both of the people that work there were had the faint glow cast from their phone screens reflecting back. The Latin music was loud. I mean loud like a sports bar loud. We were the only patrons on a Wednesday night. This did not bode well.We were about to choose our table, so we sat at a booth. The booth seemed like the table was just a few inches too narrow for how far away the seats were though. I thought that was kind of weird. We were given multicolor tortilla chips with some salsa. Hmmm. Not homemade chips, watery salsa, the only patrons and loud loud music? We were willing to stick it out. I'm very glad we did!The watery salsa was actually quite tasty. The chips were standard thin tortilla chips, nothing special. We got the fried yuca and chicharones appetizer, and holy guacamole! The yuca was fried to absolute perfection. You know when you get fries and the outside is crispy and the inside is almost creamy? Yeah. That. The chicharones were great too. Not too crunchy and not too salty with a nice balance of meat and fat.Up next, the sopa de res. I've had this dish at a number of places, and it's never been as good as I had here. The broth was also not as salty as many other places. It was delicious and totally hit the spot. There was yuca, corn, beef ribs, cabbage and a few other veggies and a ripe plantain that I initially thought was an eggplant. It's sweetness threw me a little bit, but I eat weird things, so whatever.My wife got carne asado tacos, and they were yummy too. They come with a green sauce that is a little creamy. Do you eat Peruvian or roasted chicken at some of these pollo places? Do you know that green sauce? Well, it's just like that but creamy. A little less green, but just as much rock and roll spicy. The frijoles were the only thing that was pretty salty, but not too badly. Honestly, I feel like they kind of balanced out the salt nicely.The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is the sound system and music issue. It was mega loud in there. My wife and I had to lean in to hear each other speak, and granted, it was the Gold Cup game, but there were clearly at least two zones, one for the bar, and the other for the dining area. We asked the guy that was taking care of the sound to turn it down a little bit, and he did. After a few minutes, the music started up very loudly again for like two songs. I really do hope that they figure out the music and sound levels, because the food was spot on, and we could use another great restaurant in that particular area. I'm not claiming that I know what authentic Salvadorean or Latin food should taste like, but it was straight up delicious and I'll definitely go back. After all, they do have desayuno! (breakfast!)

I was driving past Lesly's with my best friend and had to turn around and check it out. We were seeking a little bar to have a couple pints and a bite in on the way to Cheverly Flea Market and this looked like a decent spot.Upon entering I was immediately happy we stopped. The bar was clean and dark and nicely decorated...there were a couple women working the bar and otherwise it was empty. We arrived just after they opened it seemed.The woman working did not speak English and my friend and I do not speak Spanish....but that did not make any difference because we all just communicated with smiles and pointing at the menu. She was super cool and friendly. She and all of the other women there were dressed really nice, dressed to impress and it was cool to see. I loved the style.A few men came in and sat at the bar with my friend and I and they were very kind and polite to both of us. I liked how respectful they were to not only us, but the women bartender too. Nice atmosphere!We had an assortment of pupuseas, corn tamales, beans and a burrito to share. The food was AWESOME!!!! So delicious. As soon as the sun started to set, the place started filling up with young men and women, all dressed up for a good night out. If a party is your night time scene, this looked like it would be a fun place to play some pool, go dancing and hang out.We had plans already so we couldn't stick around, but next time for sure. I know a couple white girls probably don't exactly fit in at most places like this, but Lesly's Grill made us feel welcomed and at home.

I don't speak Spanish. I'm working on that, but I've got a ways to go. Unfortunately this shortfall on my part resulted in a lackluster dining experience at Lesly's. I visited on Cinco de Mayo and was hoping for a margarita. The hostess/server said she didn't know English but I thought I'd muster through. Who doesn't like an adventure and, well I know some Spanish nouns! Margarita was a little too complicated to order--somehow--so I settled on a "Cerveza por favor" which resulted in a Heineken (I should have emphatically stated Tecate or Modelo). After translating some words into my server's phone, and some gracias on my part, I pointed and ordered a "carne asada" taco. Fifteen minutes later I ended up with a carne asada platter with baked potato and flavorless vegetables. I didn't have it in me to try and resolve the error--hey, things happen--but I would have preferred to not have had a pricey platter lacking in many ways in lieu of a taco. I don't think I need to give this place another try. Again, not knowing the language was a small roadblock, but the food just wasn't that great. And even error food should taste good.

Extremely slow kitchen; waitresses seemed to be learning on the fly and more interested in singing Karaoke. The music was way too loud. The tacos were good, but everything else seemed like it was prepared too far in advance or frozen. I think the place has lots of potential, but it has a long way to go. I think better service and turning the music down would go a long way.
