Sam's-Leon Mexican Supplies

I found myself hungry for Mexican food at 8 am. I found that this place was open and that serves chilaquiles. I have heard people say they have great tamales and carnitas, but never tried it before. Place was great. Chilaquiles rojos, served with beans and rice and choice of eggs on top were delectable and abundant! I now want to go to try the rest of the menu. This is a gem! Great service and food!

Based on a recommendation I went to Sam's and Leon's for tortilla chips and salsa to go.It is a quaint little restaurant in south omaha. The chips are prebagged and on a shelf so I was able to pick up two bags but had to order the salsa at the counter. I ordered a pint of traditional and a pint of chunky salsa. The waitress at the counter was very nice. I sat down and waited, after 20 minutes they finally packaged my ordered. I think they forgot about my order. Had I not paid in advance I may have left. Just was too long to wait for salsa. On the positive side the chunky salsa was flavorful, with just a little heat. The chunky is the way to go. The traditional was ok but absolutely preferred the chunky style. The chips were nice and crunchy and held up to the nachos I made at home instead of store brand that typically gets soggy under the cheese and salsa. Overall the chips and salsa was very good and plan to go again. I would have rated them higher if I did not have too wait so long for my salsa.

Well lookey here at this hidden unknown gem!! I used to make the trip down to South O to stock up on some other popular chips, salsa and other Mexican but I'll probably never return there with Sam's around! Much much better chips and salsa which I didn't know was possible! Three of us loaded up on tacos, tamales, enchiladas, chips and salsa and our bill was $24!!!!! I then took home a dozen tamales, more chips and two different kinds of salsa that quickly disappeared in my house. A huge container of the pork chili bean dip which is amazing! Don't leave without it! I love that they are fully prepared to pack up a huge to go order for you but also have seating so you can down some fresh stuffed tacos while you're there. If you live out West there is nothing around that you can get like this and it's well worth the drive!!!

After calling Jacobo's and after being told that they are no longer accepting New Year's Eve orders, I was on the hunt for tamales. Behold, Sam's-Leon discovery. I placed my order on the telephone and the person who handled my order was helpful and pleasant. Okay, fast forward to pick up. Up front and honest: the area is not the best. A few abandoned houses around the corner, lack of parking, ehh, you know. The building is an old house, however appeared clean and fully staffed. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is there was confusion with my order, where it was, who was gathering it, etc. Tamales were amazing!! Rice and beans were standard, but good. Will definitely order again.

Pretty tasty - service had a couple of missteps (but maybe our group of 12 threw them for a loop? I tried to order a cheek taco and a chicken taco, plus a tamale (which I heard were to die for). I think what showed up was one cheek taco... though I got to sample one of the tamale's (surprisingly spicy) and some table guacamole (good, but I wish the chips were thinner. these reminded me more of pita chips). The food that showed up was good, and I was definitely hungry, but compared to other stops on the taco tour, it wasn't my favorite. Though, as you can see, I'm still a fan.

This is one of the best Mexican places in all of Omaha to eat at if you want good quality Mexican food. Sometimes it's quick, and sometimes it takes them up to 15-30 minutes to make the food, but in the end it's worth it when you have their fresh excellent tamales, their fantastic red rice with peas & carrots, and their addictive chips w/ guacamole. When you eat their food, you can tell that they work really hard to make it taste good. I've been coming to this place for 17 years at least and not once in that whole duration of years have they ever made me disappointed. I have many nice memories of this place, and will continue to have more great memories here. I suggest you come here & make some good memories here yourself!

I've been going here since highschool for their homemade chips and salsa. I will continue to go back. its really a cool, home style shoppe/restaurant. The only thing that gives me the willies is the douglas county health assessor's rating. Although i've never gotten sick or contracted a tape worm....Clean it up for 2018 guys, and you'll get a 5 star!!! Thanks for the many years and counting.

Great food fast service. It's our lil family restaurant in our area. The burritos are good and flour chips are good too

I moved from the Sedona area in Arizona to Omaha and have found it difficult to find authentic handmade tamales. In the Sedona area this was often a customary food served for Christmas. I searched online and found that Sam's-Leon Mexican Supplies store in Omaha sells a dozen authentic handmade tamales. So I made a purchase for a bargan price of just $26.00. So glad I did. They were fresh and even steamy when I made the purchase. I took them home and discovered that they are also generous in size and the taste delivers that truely authentic quality, just like I remember enjoying in Arizona, often served with avocado to enhance nutritional value. I highly recommend. I plan to purchase more as a Christmas holiday tradition.

Authentic, fast, and delicious! Personally, it's my favorite spot in South Omaha for authentic Mexican street tacos. I love their Al Pastor!
