12 Best Mexican Restaurants near Leonard

“Never been here before, just passing through town working at the metro park picked up a "Small" BBQ Chicken Cajun. (The thing is huge and satisfying, able to share it and STILL had me wish I got a bigger pie.)Crust was amazingly fresh flakey, crispy and fluffy at the same time and just an amazing tasting bread. Couldn't let my coworkers say no to a piece after my first slice. They felt the same and this review was written with two brains, not just one. Pie was cooked great, chicken was awesome, Cajun added just the right spice to the BBQ sauce. Portnoy should come try it.Hopefully be back soon to get a bigger size to take home for dinner.“

“The salsa is perfect! Fresh and perfectly spiced. I ordered the seafood ceviche with a mix of fish and shrimp and it was delicious. The fish was very fresh tasting and it was quite a large serving. The carne asada tacos were great. The shells were great,easy to bite and not too flavorful, the meat was tender but a bit too charred on the outside and the salsa served with the tacos was great when it was put on the taco.“

“Carryout is SO FAST! I order online often and the drive thru is SO convenient and my order is always ready within the 5 minute drive it takes me to get there. Excellent and consistently good. The chips are fresh and include a large bag, fish and avocado tacos are always great as well. The house marg is good also“

“Chelsea was THE BEST waitress me & my husband have had in a while. She was so patient, knowledgeable of the menu, and had great recommendations. She was so upbeat & kind & I would love to come back to this restaurant! Food was 10/10!!!“

“The food and service are great! My husband and i have tried several different items on their menu and they've all been delicious. They really need a sign at Lapeer Rd, its hard to see at night - we almost missed the entrance the first time coming here.“

“Loved the rice and birria taco, beans could be better but I loved the atmosphere. Seem like very nice people. My tamale was also pretty good. My boyfriend loved his quesadilla- he rated his meal a 9/10. He wasn’t a huge fan of the beans either.“

“Food is delicious! Had a burrito bowl and it was so good. Salsa is spicy so wait until you get your drinks before you dive in.Service was fast and timed perfectly.Restrooms were clean and atmosphere was fun and upbeat.Kid-friendliness: 100% kid friendly“

“Loved the service and the atmosphere. I love that the people working there are actually Mexican, as is the music and the décor. The tacos were okay. The flautas were good. The wet burrito was humongous! The Kevin's burrito bowl was great. The beer is all Mexican.Taco Tuesday special: $2.99 soft shell corn tacos with choice of chicken, marinated pork, or plain pork, with onions and cilantro.“

“Had the opportunity to stop into this little restaurant for a photoshoot. While El Guero Taqueria is a set of food trucks as a restaurant, it shares a physical location with De Norte a Sur Mexican Grill in Pontiac at a gas station. The owner, Brenda, is friendly, passionate, and makes some really great food! I would definitely recommend checking them out as it helps support a small business.“

“What an amazing Surprise! The three salsas are just amazing. The red is tasty and just the right heat. I am not a hot person but I like these! The orange is great , the Green salsa…. Not your tomatillo salsa. This is a combo of herbs and oil that is as creamy as a guacamole without the avocado! Certainly a culinary delight!! Quite honestly I have to say these are probably the best salsas we have had at any Mexican restaurant!!! The shredded chicken is moist and tasty. The Enchiladas Verde I would say probably one of the best we’ve had. The barbacoa is delicious and moist. It is Tasty ,just yummy. I love barbacoa but sometimes it has too much cinnamon for me. Here the seasoning is just right. The Quesabirria( quesadilla with Barbacoa.)and the dipping broth is delish. Small pieces of sweet onion and cilantro floating on top and just beautiful and as tasty as it looks! There appears to be a full bar too. Not a large restaurant, front area is kitchen and take out. Staff friendly. Restaurant is cute abs very clean ! A must try!“

“Same great food you expect from Chatitas, in a cute little restaurant! I’ve always loved the food truck so I’m excited to be able to enjoy the same food, year round, all week! I love the tacos, esquite, and quesadillas and look forward to trying other things on the menu too. Dining area was super clean.Kid-friendliness: Has high chairs and plenty of room for car seats or strollers“

“My wife and I really enjoyed our dinner! I’d describe the place as fun and cheerful (lots of bright colors/cheerful decor). Service was great, mojito margarita was great, and we had plenty of food with the fajitas for two. Will definitely return!Dietary restrictions: Corn tortillas, which was great for our gluten allergy.“
