Good food, but for the price it should be better. Was particularly surprised to see an $11 kids meal that consisted of a cheese quesadilla and fries. We started with the street corn, which was pretty good, but for $9 I expect to not be given an ear of corn on the cob with spices, mayo, and a lime. The pork tacos were good, but again, not really worth the $18. The filling was quite good, but at that price, I would expect a nice thick house made corn tortilla, as well as someone to taste the rice and beans that accompanies the dish to make sure there is some salt in there before it goes to the table. I really love Mexican food, and want more than anything for this restaurant to succeed, but I cant give it a great write up yet. Maybe things will improve.

My first venture into Mexican food! I think Im a fan. Ive never had Mexican Food before, so I decided that I might as well stop here and give it a try. Leon Mexican Cuisine is a nice little restaurant with a touch of personality. From when we were seated to when the food was brought to our table, we were given the proper treatment. We didnt feel like we were customers, we felt like we were part of the family that ran this place. As for the food itself - it was great. I had chicken and it was cooked perfect. I couldnt ask for it to be cooked for any other way. The pricing seems appropriate for the place. This even seems like a kids place - theres always kids around. Lovely place.

Nothing special. I ordered the bean burrito and my usband the steak burrito. It was plain it only came with beans and rice in the burrito with a side salad. Im use to some awesome burritos loaded with guacamole, lettuce, tomatoe, sour cream etc. it was very plain. I asked for a side of guacamole and sour cream. On top of the very dissapointing burritos, the staff had no idea about the menu items. I asked a simple question to 2 separate servers about an item on the menu, they were clueless. Dissapointing over all.

While visiting a friend in-state, he brought me to LEON because he knows I love Mexican food. I ordered chicken fajitas and a margarita . The fajitas were fantastic, and I heard it sizzling its way from the kitchen to my table. Alas, the poor fajitas didnt survive, because they were spiced perfectly and I was starving. The margarita was excellent as well; not too much tequila nor too little salt. I was extremely pleased with the service. This restaurant was one of the high points of my trip.

Took the family her for an earlyish dinner on Saturday night. We arrived early enough not to need reservations and wait for a table. We started with fresh guacamole. Something seemed off in the preparation. Maybe not enough salt and line. It was a very generous portion though. I followed that up with the ceviche which was a very nice sized portion. Finished up at the steak quesadilla. All in all very good experience. This is BYOB.

What can I say about the ambiance, my fiancé brought me here for a surprise date night and it was romantic. We took a bottle of wine. We had the table side guacamole which was fun and delish! The server was helpful regarding the menu. We finished with the Mexican flag dessert (ice cream). I will say we were lucky to have reservations as a few people were waiting for a while to be seated. Great experience.

I went to leon mexican cuisine yesterday with five more people to celebrate my brother’s birthday. The restaurant is nice and clean and the staff is excellent. Everybody loved the food, it was risk entering a new restaurant to celebrate my brother’s birthday but all went great. There wasn’t much wait for the food. It was yum and served hot with smiles. The fajitas were very delicious.

I took my oldest daughter here today for lunch. I had a chicken buredo she had a steak buredo. The service was friendly and attentive. The chips and salsa were great. Food came out quick. Buredo was ok. Not great but good and I was full when I left. Wasnt thrilled that the side was greens instead of black beans. I will definitely give it another try. I would recommend trying it.

We are new in town. Service was great but food was some there most bland Mexican Ive ever had. We all have classic, hard to mess up dishes. Burritos, Enchiladas, etc. All the meat was really dry. Beans and rice were... Ok? The 2 salsas put in the table with chips were insanely spicy (I like spicy food, but this was nuts. No mild options). Very unfortunate.

Theres always this sudden moment when I crave for mexican food and Leons is the place to be. I have been waiting to review this restaurant for a while now, today I got the opportunity and here it goes. The steak fajitas and guacamole is something I will recommend to anyone who gets the opportunity to go there. The ambience is perfect so is the food. A+

Decent food. Fair price for the quality. However, service was under par for what I expect for a restaurant at this price point. Enchiladas were served with the tortilla and wraps first, which is fine as long as the filling is served at the same time. In this case it took 10 mins to get the whole dish served. And by then the tortillas were cold.

Last Friday, I visited Leon Mexican with my wife, and we had a great time there. The restaurant was very neat and clean, and we appreciated the place and their service. The Pesacado Yucatan was very tasty. Guys were very friendly, and they provided more than what we had expected. I give full points for their delicious Mexican food and service.

After shifting to Ridgewood, I missed my favorite Mexican restaurant in Utah. I saw a newspaper add about Leon Mexican Cuisine, and decided to visit with my wife. The place has nice interior and exterior decoration, and atmosphere is warm. The food is also great and worth the money. Good experience. I will visit some other day to eat lunch.

I stopped by this place while on vacation in New Jersey. The restaurant was great. The waiters are very friendly and are ready to serve you and provide all your needs. The food was delicious and well priced. I had a great time and enjoyed my meal here. I would definitely come here again another day.

Visited LEON yesterday, and had an amazing dinner with my lovely wife. The place was quite full but we got our seat, thank god we had reserved our seat. We ordered taco, and it was very delicious. Beverages were also good, and guys did a great job. Thanks to the chefs!! Will return soon.

It was my first time visiting Leon to have mexican food and I must say I it was not disappointing at all! The ambiance is amazing and so is the food. I dont usually try new restaurants that often but have to say this was a good option. The pricing is pocket friendly as well.
