Food was delicious, service was excellent, and the decor and atmosphere were really nice. Never had to ask for anything, the gentleman server was on it! Will definitely be back. Some of the food was ate before the pictures. Definitely recommend. Great prices too, family of four and spent $86 before tip! Desert was included with our meals!
Haven’t been here in awhile but glad Cracker Barrel was full so we could come back. Atmosphere and music were just like I like it. Decor was wonderful and so was the service. Our waitress ( Anna’s ) was great. Coming back soon. Stop by, you decide! Food to table :13:30 min. David
Leo’s Mexican food was really good. We’ve been here a few times in the past and it checks the box on food, atmosphere, service and cleanliness. We ordered the beef enchiladas with red sauce and the chicken enchiladas with green sauce. Both are really good. The kids had quesadillas and they enjoyed them. The Horchata was just OK. It actually disappointed, but the lemonade was really good and seemed to be made from scratch. The service is good and our waiter was friendly and helpful. The layout of the restaurant is divided in different sections, including a bar area. Overall, it was colorful and lively and a nice place to eat Mexican food. 4.5 star rounded up.
We had mole, and gorditas plate. Mole is on the c sweeter side, rice was delicious. Gorditas beef, was bland. Salsa was mild and lacked flavor.
Felt like authentic Mexican Cuisine! Haven't been here in a long time! Was in the area...so why not! Food was good...didn't receive a 5 was because I order a taco and meat was a little cold for my taste....but not too bad! Flavor of the rest of my dish was great! I had the Super Leo Combination! Would I go again!!! Most definitely!
Amazing experience. Salsa and chips were served immediately after we sat down. Our server was on top of taking care of us. Food was delicious all around our table. Sopapillas were so good also. We always would drive by and saw the parking lot full of cars and now we know why! When we are in town, we will definitely make a stop here again!
We moved away 20 years ago and I used to work at the Leo’s on North Loop. We came back to visit family and wanted to go down memory lane. My husband and I had our “usuals” and were as good as I remembered. We were a group of eleven and everyone enjoyed the food. The issue I had was that they kept trying to pick up the tostadas and salsa when I was still eating. At the end the server, Analis, berated me because I asked for my sister’s check so I could pay for her. She kept telling us that we asked for separate checks. I paid cash so it wasn’t like she would have had to run a card twice. The food was great!
I’ve been here three times and the taste slightly varies but today it was soo good. Meli was an amazing server, super nice and knowledgeable of the menu.
