You're surrounded by windows in here and plenty of light comes in to give it a welcoming, friendly environment. The fajitas come with a big plate of refried beans and rice.“

“We love this place...and Everytime we are here everything tastes really good and just SLIGHTLY different.... Meaning they don't just have a bunch of frozen items that are premade they warm up....HUGE plus for Mexican food. Drinks are great too...and they'll make flour chips upon request which is a huge bonus in my book. The family that owns this place does an awesome job!! Sometimes service is a bit slower....but it's only when you can tell they are BUSY... So it's never a matter of the service being slow and wondering what the employees are even doing... You can see them moving like crazy. Makes waiting during the "slow" much more reasonable and understandable. Usually food always comes out much quicker than we think it will!“

“Decided to try out Los Gonzalez this evening with my wife and teenage children after finding this location on Google maps and reading reviews. We were glad to find that this location isn’t “inside Dollar General” as noted on the map! Instead, it’s just at the opposite end of the same strip mall. Unassuming, come-as-you-are, and unpretentious, this place has an easy feel and the hostess was friendly and graciously helped us navigate the menu and our order. The chicken nachos, cup of corn, birria quesadillas, and birria tacos were all served hot and were spot on! Generous servings, consume, toppings, and salsas. We took our food next door into the adjacent bar which is permissible and allowed for me to buy a beer to accompany my meal! Food items are served in disposable containers/dishes, eaten with plastic utensils, and the very reasonable prices reflect that. Really good food and an overall fun dining experience!“

I thought my dinner plans were hopeless, but then I met YOU... Above average taste. Mid tier price (yes cheaper than Chipotle and much better value) HUGE portions. My wife had a bowl and I had this loaf of burrito. We ordered a large chips and Queso that was big enough for a family of 5. I'd order this again. I'd order this again tomorrow.“

They were very good and reasonably priced. The radish slices and fried pepper were a nice side addition. Loved the fried tortilla chips and salsa. Chips were not the typical generic variety. ?? I will be back often to sample more of the menu. ✌️??✝️“

“Love D'Leon's for my "fast food Mexican fix". Why bother with Tex Mex when you can get the real deal. I almost always get a chicken burrito which is packed with meat and cream cheese. I also love the breakfast burritos. I order the two burrito meal for at least a couple meals worth. You can often customize to your liking (I love adding green chili), just ask! I do wish the beans and rice were a bit more flavorful but that's not what I go here for. Some of the locations also have jalapeño poppers. Nothing fancy - just the frozen ones you deep fry but I like to add an order sometimes. Service is usually pretty friendly, lots of options on the menu. For housemade, the prices aren't bad.

They didn't try to rush us or push us out considering they were already closed. Only reason I rated them a 4/5 is because the margarita was a little too thick and on the syrupy side. I will definitely be back“

My son didn’t eat much of his soft taco but that was much more to do with the traffic driving by than with the food.The gentleman who took our order was friendly and did a good job. The food was prepared quickly and you can watch them put the food together. The prices were reasonable and they didn’t charge us for a side of jalapeños for the nachos.We wi definitely stop by again!“

The meat was greasy and the lettuce was shredded, then wasn't, wilted then fresh. Very little cheese if any. My mom couldn't even eat hers!

“We dined in on Easter Sunday 4/9/23 at noon. We had the Carne Asada, Enchiladas Michoacanas and Dos Tamales De Pollo (substituted with Pork). I believe we know tasty Mexican food and we prefer authentic. Grew up with it in TX and seek out Mexican restaurants and cafes north of the Red River. Folks this is a "must stop" if you're in the area. I prefer great food versus some cafe interior with the latest decor. If you're a purest, then this is your place. The meal was fresh and a delight to the taste buds. Prices were appropriate. If you leave Lincoln without trying this place, you messed up. If you live in Lincoln and have not tried this place, there is no excuse. We will be back for another meal. Great job by the folks at Neveria San Marcos.“
