Both the food and service were great. They played good music, though a tad too loud. I got Leal’s Special (taco, tamale, enchilada, beans, rice). Every bite was delicious. I hope to return soon. Good deal for the price, too.

Such a great variety of authentic Mexican food! I highly recommend this superb restaurant. Inez and Sarah were fantastic! They gave wonderful recommendations and the meals we had were beyond my expectations. Well done and we look forward to our next great culinary experience with you in the near future

I was greeted right away and even the cashier made a little joke.I joked back about the music they were playing. It truly made my day. He had no idea that day I came in I just finished going to a funeral and visiting an uncle in the hospital. His smile and fun turned my day around and on top of that the food was great and reasonably priced.

We love the food and people who work here. You cannot go wrong with the tacos, beef fajitas, supreme chicken, or the beef fajita salad. Delightful!

We called and ordered a family pack and added a dozen green chili cheese tamales to be ready to pick up on 5/26 around 5:45pm. When we arrived to pick up our order, they were just throwing together the tacos so they would be as fresh as possible for us when we got home. Everything else was hot and ready. We got a dozen enchiladas (half beef and half chicken), and dozen tacos, a quart of rice and a quart of beans, two gallons of tea, and two salsas with two bags of chips. Everything was very delicious, but my favorites were definitely the tamales and the salsa. This was more than enough to feed eight people, and everyone loved the food. Great way to feed a large party for a great price. We will be back!
