Leoโs was such a great place ๐ for authentic Mexican food ๐ฎ ๐ฏ ๐! And it was so conveniently located within walking distance of my hotel ๐จ๐! I came here on a weeknight, was seated and was tended to and served right away ๐!
The staff there greets and welcomes you there right when you walk in ๐!
The restaurant was beautifully decorated ๐ for the holidays ๐
๐คถโจ๐๐๐ฆโ๏ธโ๏ธ!
I was given fresh chips and salsa right away to munch on ๐ while I waited for my main entree!
The Horchata and Leoโs taco salad ๐ฎ ๐ฅ with chicken ๐ were so fresh and delicious ๐! I was truly filled up and content โบ๏ธ!
I will definitely come back to Leoโs the next time I visit the west side in El Paso ๐๐ต๐!
Food is really consistently good here. Is no wonder why it's always busy.
Lacking smiles up front when asked how many in our party and was seated. Hostess lady did not want to be there, and it showed.
Sat us in a booth by the kitchen and was a bit worried. Almost asked to be sat somehwere else. It turned out to be ok. Nice little decorations and pictures of our local areas from the past and present. Very colorful and vibrant atmosphere.
We were promptly greeted by a lovely Spanish speaking waitress. Dressed in what reminded me partly as a Folklorico type waitress dress ( that's what I'm going to call it). Very pretty.
Salsa is spicy, really good. Chips are thin and crispy and seemed unsalted (or salted very lightly)... they were good too.
Got the Baked Chicken Enchiladas, number 6. I got RED and my buddy got GREEN. Was really good, and BAKED indeed. Plate was very HOT and was warned by the waitress when serving. Really, really good, large portion.
Waitress was attentive to our basic needs and others were pre bussing as they passed our table to the kitchen. When they saw trash from our straws and the lemon wedges that were not used at the end of the table, it was taken by a passer byer. I noticed and thought that was cool, thinking this is how it should be done.
I could barely finish my plate and still got a sopapilla with honey at the end. It was a nice touch to finish a great dining experience.
I'm SO FULL, ๐
I'll be back and will spread the word.
Muchas gracias.
Iโm not gonna lie this place started off with low expectations, I went with my wife my two kids and my mom and dad and they took forever to accommodate us. To me that seems odd since this seems like a family type of atmosphere, as such you should expect family sized groups, but the restaurant seems rather small/cramped for the amount of customers it is getting, itโs not like thereโs lots of free seats but it was mostly packed with gente from all ages and sizes , after what felt like an hour and the host seemed to have completely forgot about us we finally got a seat.
So we finally sat down and ordered
The pros:
the tacos were bomb I ordered the steak tacos with rice and beans, not only was it cheap but it was delicious
the chips and salsa is free when you first arrive
the price is a steal for what you get on the menu
The cons: they charge you for refills on anything outside of soft drinks, that means lemonades and aguas frescas
The menu is a lot of the usual traditional dishes and nothing out of the ordinary(but what they do have is delicious)
The fajitas were meh, for some reason they didnโt have peppers in the fajitas just meat and onions which I thought was odd
Conclusion: the food was great, the wait wasnโt, the price was very fair, this place may need to expand or remodel for the amount of customers itโs getting !
Best queso fundido I've had in El Paso! Food is tasty, service is spot on....love the atmosphere. It is my regular go-to when I want tex-mex!
I ordered takeout and had forgotten my debit card. Completely my fault. And yet, not only was the staff understanding and empathetic but they were very accommodating and remade my takeout meal fresh when I returned again. The food was delicious and the atmosphere is inviting. The best customer service I have received in a long time. They made my day. Thank you.
Another great place in El Paso - this one has been around for a long time. Check it out.
Haven't been to Leo's for years and last week I ate my Favorite Child's plate good for Everyone even if you're not a kid.
The price was Expensive for a child's plate at $9.59, but it was a Great meal!
Leo's is our favorite Mexican restaurant. The food is delicious, the servers are always fast and very nice, the atmosphere is great.
I've eaten her for more than 40 years. Still consistently the absolute best Mexican around. Great guacamole, and amazing chili rellenos. And the sopapillas at the end are fluffy pillows of love.
It's a nice place- the waiter was very attentive recommending sauces etc. The food was ok. Tacos with very little meat, smaller portions than usual for me. But overall, it was ok. I will give it another try and ask for something else
