Chef Jose Andres is ushering in a new era at his all-day dining destination Mercado Little Spain at Hudson Yards. 

New concept Txula will replace Leña in spring 2025. Txula will be an elevated Spanish steakhouse named for the Txuletón, a 60-day aged beef ribeye. It will be centered around a live-fire hearth and will feature menu highlights such as Ibéerico pork, grilled seafood from the Spanish and U.S. coasts, and lamb and beef cuts.

“Like the Basque pioneers of la nueva cocina vasca, Txula breaks the rules while respecting their essence. Bringing an avant-garde and playful edge to its design, also led by Rockwell Group, Txula introduces the excellence of the Basque steakhouse to the New York City steakhouse scene with a bold, flavorful and innovative menu and feel,” a release obtained by What Now New York states.

The Jose Andres Group manages a variety of restaurant brands across the country, with a mission “to change the world through the power of food,” according to its website. Other New York restaurants from the group include Zaytinya, Nubeluz and Bazaar, as well as La Barra and Mar both located in Mercado Little Spain.
