Came there with my husband, sister and brother-in-law for the first time yesterday Nov. 14. Place was amazing, food was sooooooo good (no problems), service was amazing. Everyone who worked there was soooooo kind. I felt the only issue was they didn’t give you a bunch of chips in the basket and you had to charge $1 after if you wanted more. Also, they were out of sliced radish so I wasn’t able to fully enjoy my food without it (food was still amazing) but I would definitely be a returning customer. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We stopped by Taqueria Leon and were blown away by how good everything was. The food is truly delicious, fresh, flavorful, and prepared with so much care. You can taste the love in every bite.

On top of that, the staff is incredibly friendly. They make you feel welcome the moment you walk in, and the service is fast yet personal. It’s the kind of place that instantly becomes a favorite.

If you’re looking for amazing Mexican food with genuine hospitality, Taqueria Leon is a must-visit.

Highly recommended!

Service was friendly and quick! The aguachile was pretty tasty! I didn’t care much for the super pastor burrito maybe next time I’ll try I’ll try the carne asada. Place looks nicely decorated :)

Lively atmosphere with a sense of community. Tortillas being made to order.
The agua Fresca of the day (pina) was just what we needed for a warm day. Enjoyed the experience and will be back very soon.

I haven't had a dish here I didn't like and the papusas are amazing. Staff is friendly and attentive.

We were hungry and found Taqueria Leon. There were plenty of places to sit. We took a table and the server showed up with a small bowl of chips. No salsa..?? I ordered a diet coke and I was brought a can. My dinner was beef enchiladas. They were really good but the rice and beans were very dry. I had to ask for everything, which was irritating. Including salsa, in order to give the sides some moisture. I wasn't impressed. The best part of dining here was watching the lady make the tortillas. It wasn't the worst restaurant I've ever been to but it was far from the best.

Lunchtime today at 12:30 staff was mopping the floor, the chemical smell was so strong we had to leave. No one greeted us when we entered either, and there was only 1 table with a customer. Terrible atmosphere because of the chemicals and lack of customer service.

My wife and I visited for the 1st time on the last Saturday of June 2025. The menu was not overwhelming. The food was well prepared and delicious. The server and the cashier were both friendly and gracious. The mood was festive with music playing not too loudly. The dining room was family-friendly; I appreciated that we didn't have to walk past a dark bar decorated with too many neon beer signs to get to the dining room. And I appreciated that despite rising prices, the menu offers relatively affordable food for family dining.

The food here is delicious. Maybe the best around! The shrimp tostadas are my favorite. The pupusas are probably the best I’ve ever had. I love that they make all of the tortillas fresh, and by hand, right in-front of you. All of their meals are very filling and flavorful. The servers are really friendly also. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something very tasty.
