Nice small restaurant. Very polite and efficient wait staff. Prices were very reasonable. We both ordered combo plates. For our tastes, the food was very bland and not at all what we would expect from an authentic looking Mexican restaurant. Bottled beer served in a frosted glass was the highlight! We were thankful the portions were small.

What a fun discovery...rustic & colorful Old Mexico decor, cheery & helpful bartender & server (Gracias, Alex & Diana!), and an extensive, diverse menu of Mexican standards, plus 'house specialties like grilled cabrito (goat) or codorniz (quail)...both yummy... and a full bar w/margaritas, draft beers, etc. Filled w/a diverse ethnic mix of mostly younger locals & families... Reasonable prices for authentic, tasty dishes ;-)

Hard to say which is best, but Leal's would be in top 4. A unique menu and some unique drinks. Always enjoy our visits.

The food was excellent, service could have been better. (We arrived a little late, 9pm, they close at 10, and the staff seemed very focused on getting things buttoned up to be out the door quickly.) Service aside, our food was great. We tried the chunky guacamole, Tacos al pastor and Carne Asada and were fresh and full of flavor. The salsa is on the spicier side but delicious. Watch out for the little cup of red sauce they serve on the side with the entree, it has some real kick.

Everything is great but I make a meal out of the app Mitziâs special. So good! I prefer the veggie version but Iâm sure the meat options are great too. Ranchero sauce is delish.

Their enchiladas with sour cream sauce are great. The service is always good. Seating is hit or miss - too many tables and chairs packed in and you feel cramped

Looking for tacos close by one of our stops In Amarillo. Joe Taco came up as the closest place. Very pleasant surprise. My grilled chicken truck tacos were very tasty. Hubby had ancho chicken wings. He said they were fried just right...but the ancho sauce was so good I abandoned the salsa and ate it on their very tender chips. I can see a return visit.

Go for Happy Hour, the Margs are giant... and very tasty! Their salsa trio with chips is the bomb. Especially enjoyed the Roasted Veggie Salsa. Steak Fajita Salad, Steak Chimichanga, Carnitas Street Tacos & Brisket Street Tacos was our order and it was all really good. The place was packed, so they're doing it right in the kitchen.

Great stop on our way home from Colorado. A little off the highway but worth a 10 min detour. Fajitas for 1 are enough for two. Stuffed poblano and tortilla soup also spot on. Fast friendly service. We would go back.

Found this restaurant through Trip Advisor and it lives up to its high rating. The food was excellent and plentiful and the servers were great. Huge place and packed during dinner. Parking was full but big enough to find a spot in the back. I'll be back for sure.
