I went to this place because it had a lot of good recommendations, I love Mexican food, and every time I'm in these places I look for a good place to enjoy Mexican cuisine, but oh surprise, the food is not authentic Mexican even though many here say it is, the perfect definition is TEX MEX, sorry but the chiles rellenos are NOT with Anahaim peppers, they are made with poblano peppers, I couldn't find a way for my plate in the middle of so much melted cheese on top of my food, the flavor, I must say that it is not bad, but in a Text Mex way... the place is nice, the staff is friendly although they do not want to speak to you Spanish even when you heard them speaking the language moments before, but it's okay, it's also ok.
On the menu, I did not find the variety of tacos that a Mexican restaurant usually has.
Instead, I found hard shell tortilla tacos like Tacos Bell, I mean, hell noooo.
So if on your next trip you are looking for a good Tex Mex restaurant, this is your place,if not, look for a restaurant that is definitely Mexican starting for the name of the place.

Unfortunately, though the food was good, I do feel there has been a dramatic decline in the overall “Leals” experience the last year or so. We’ve been coming from Clovis for years, but it just is not the same. Mainly, the staff and atmosphere. It seems to be a very unhappy place for staff. Management, or upfront employees, are absolutely unprofessional. Often times, they are sitting in the bar area while customers wait up front for a table. I’m guess it’s “not their job” or they just don’t see because they are hiding behind the wall. When I do see them up, the way they interact with staff is unnecessarily uncalled for. We sat at a booth, and I can’t believe the older manager who had been there for years doesn’t think every word and her tone can’t be heard by customers. The thing was, they weren’t even busy. She is not the only manager that we have witness this with, she was just working that day. Quite frankly, the way staff, and customers for that matter are treated, is an embarrassment for the establishment. No wonder you don’t recognize a single waitress in the restaurant. It seems that they did at one time a some very effective staff, but not these day, which is to be expected with poor management. I hope to see change, because in the past, this has been a favorite of ours. I’m not sure who owns this business, but I would love to talk to them. Again, the food was fine, as usual.

Very busy restaurant and it deserves to be. The food was delicious. We were there on a Sunday afternoon and it was filled with happy, well fed families and other large groups.
Parking is plentiful if a bit of a disorganized free-for-all.

This is a life long relationship I have enjoyed Leals since I was in high-school

Best tacos ever!!!!!

Great atmosphere and place to dine with family and friends, waitress was awesome and food was great, nice people that we seen and talk to, keep up the amazing work.

Good service and food!!!

Jo Rhodes is great

Food was great! Service was good, but the restaurant wasn't allowing it's full menu (nothing grilled) which was a bummer. But definitely a great spot for Tex Mex food
