I ordered from Taqueria Leon off Doordash so I didn't get to experience any other aspects of here aside from just the food. Obviously the food also won't be as fresh when it is being delivered from a long distance, but overall the food was pretty solid and just under a 4 star rating for me. I was craving some birria tacos and the ones at Taqueria Leon seem to be highly regarded so I wanted to try them out. I ordered the Quesabirria ($6.99 each) and the Cabeza Regular Taco ($3.49). Quesabirria at most taquerias in the Bay Area are pretty steep price wise, but this is already cheaper than other places I've seen.The Quesabirria here are pretty solid and it came with their Consomé which had a lot of flavor especially when you squeeze a lime into it. Its hard to give a full accurate opinion because they did get a little soggy from the delivery, but the Quesabirria still had plenty of flavor and they don't skimp out on the cheese which is nice. Overall a 8/10 for me. The Cabeza Regular Taco came in tin foil wrap and the toppings fell apart in the packaging, but the flavor of the Cabeza was still nice as it was very tame and flavorful. If you like oxtail you would like this a lot. Their tortilla for their tacos could be better and I don't love their salsas, but I enjoy their meats overall. 7.5/10They also provided chips and salsa for free, but I wasn't personally a fan of their salsas and their chips were a bit too salty. Regardless I won't let it affect my review since they were free. I thought the food at Taqueria Leon was solid overall, but I wouldn't rank it higher than some of my other favorite Taquerias in the Bay.

The service here is spotty and slow. A table complained that it was taking too long for their food and left. However, their food is delicious. Their salsa has a good kick and is flavorful. We had their street tacos, birria tacos, and shrimp tostada. Everything was tasty.

If you want to try authentic Mexican food, this is the place to go to. They have an extensive menu and everything is prepared at the moment. The service is great! They also offer catering services for parties and events which we already had and it was beyond our expectations, they set up everything with a traditional Mexican style.

Ehh... I can't say I was a fan. I asked for the regular tacos, but received (and was charged for) the "super tacos" which has sour cream, beans, guacamole, and cheese. I got the carne asada and carnitas. These weren't really worth $6.99 each. The carne asada was dry and didn't taste like the meat was marinated. The carnitas was okay, but the flavor was ruined by the sour cream. I also thought it was weird that they use flour vs corn tortillas. Also, I wasn't a fan of their 3% credit card fee. I wish this was mentioned BEFORE handing over my credit card. I noticed the sign as signing my receipt (which wasn't itemized), so I didn't realize that I was being charged for the incorrect tacos. Lastly, there wasn't a salsa bar. We did receive some chips and a cup of very mild salsa though. It would have been nice to have been given a variety of salsas to eat with the tacos.

Came in with the family yesterday as we were referred by my sister in law. Walking in the front door you see how clean the restaurant is. The staff was so very friendly. It was a nice comfortable environment. The restrooms were clean as well and that's a huge plus. I got the emoladas which is enchiladas with mole sauce and rice only. I do not like beans much. Mole is my most favorite food and it is hard to find a place that makes it the way my grandmother does. I do not like the sweet mole. The mole from here was almost exactly like my grandmas, the taste and texture. The rice was also so good. I also got an horchata and it was tasty, perfectly made as I do not really like sweet stuff. This was made to perfection, it did not taste sweet at all. The food is reasonably priced as the taste makes it well worth it, as well as the customer service. Our waitress was consistently checking if we needed anything and it just made the whole visit great.

I had been wanting to try this place for a while. I came with my family and we got some pupusas. We ate them and saved one for our son. As our son was eating his pupusa, he said hey mom there's a hair on my pupusa. He passed it to me and sure enough there was a hair inside it. He had been biting into it and this hair went in one side and out the other. It was straight and black. My son has curly hair. We felt sick after this. Who knows if we are any hairs before this and this hair was clearly cooked into the pupusa. We ate ours with forks and knives and cover with the cabbage so we didn't see inside. I won't be back.

Nice cashier.Order fajitas to go. Waited a bit and took my food to go. Ask for small bag of chips and hot sauce. Protein was a good amount. All okay but my bean was like too watery.. otherwise would be a good spot to go back.

First timer. Not very excited nor impressed by this place. Stumbled upon this place because our go to is closed on mondays but I was craving a quesadilla !Friendly staff! $1 charge for CC use. Wasn't pointed out but was on receipt after my CC was charged We ordered:Carne asada super burrito $12.99 - 7/10. Decent, good ratio of meat, rice, etc but definitely not super size or filling enough. The size was surprisingly small.Chicken corn quesadilla $6.50 - 2/10. Terrible. Chicken is dry. No real amount of cheese at all, and the corn tortilla was barely toasted. No real substance for $6.50Carne asada corn quesadilla $6.50 - 3/10z steak is more moist than the chicken but again, not enough cheese and the tortilla wasn't adding any good texture to the overall quesadilla. Quesadilla Price was not worth it for two corn tortillas, a sprinkle of cheese and a few pieces of meat.Plain cheese quesadilla for the kiddo - $4.50. Chips & salsa - chips are not store made, very salty, not good. Ate two and composted the rest. Not very generous with portion size of chips and salsa. For our 4 item order, we only received a handful of chips and one tiny pico de gallo and one tiny green salsa.Ehhh... we're not coming back for the food.Staff was super nice, though (except for not disclosing the $1 CC charge prior to charging).
