Tortilleria Y Taqueria Leon

I happened to stumble upon this place by accident on a cold rainy afternoon. Since I hadn't had lunch, I thought "why not?" and decided to give this place a try. I'm so glad I took that chance because now it means I finally found a place that sold authentic Mexican style street tacos in Angier, NC. Just as it states in the name, this establishment specializes in tacos and tortillas, however it also serves as a small Mexican market, carrying various spices, candy, condiments, beverages, and some fresh produce. In addition to the usual taco meats (e.g. chorizo, asada, carnitas, al pastor, etc...), they also offer lengua (beef tongue), tripa (beef tripe) and lamb barbacoa. I decided to order a lengua taco and a tripa taco for take out. Their tacos were on point, legit, flavorful, tender, and fresh. Not in the mood for tacos? No problem, they also offer tamales, flautas, and even soups (such as menudo or posole) on their menu.I'm giving bonus points to this place not only for making their own tortillas, but also because they use "uncommon" taco meats and making them taste sooooo goood. They offer a counter service and have a no frills dining space. Service was casual and friendly. Overall, the food's delicious and very affordable. Parking is a breeze because it's located in a strip mall and they have their own parking lot. I would gladly return to try their other menu items, highly recommended.

No frills, good food, nice people.We came here because we were doing something out this way (we live in Raleigh) and my kids said they wanted Mexican food. Y'all, they have cabrito on the menu! Everything was fresh and good. The only reason I'm knocking down a star is because I paid $7 for a side of beans and rice for my kids and it was sooooooo small. They did bring my little girl extra chips though!!!

Go here if you know and appreciate true authentic Mexican food. You won't find chips and salsa here.It's more cafeteria then restaurant combined with a small selection of Mexican groceries, spices and miscellaneous products, but the food is nothing short of excellent! Perfect for take out.

THIS. PLACE. Authentic, quality, delicious food. A true hole-in-the-wall hidden gem. Don't walk - RUN to get some tacos from here!

Highly recommended. They make their tortillas from scratch and their fillings are awesome. Great tamales and they also do queso birria tacos as well. Delicious. Not to mention they have a little "mercado" as well with snacks, fresh produce, dried chilies and herbs. I love this place!

Best best authentic Mexican food in the area! There's not a sitting area (tables are outside) but for takeout, it's delicious!!

This place is awesome. The Carnitas tacos were sooooooo good! Home made tortillas were amazing! My boyfriend got a Tortas and ate it in 2 seconds. :) we will be back... even if it is a 30-40 min drive. If I could give 6 starts I would!!!!!

Craved tacos so I took a chance on this place and the al pastor tacos were everything I hoped for and more. Walking into the store and seeing them making tortillas in the back only solidified my choice in going here. I'll be going back many more times.

This is an undiscovered gem, even by those of us who live in Angier. This is because it is tucked away in a tiny strip of shops that are located at the bottom of a hill and barely visible from the road. We ordered take out from there tonight and it was great. Their food is very authentic and very reasonable. Tacos $2.00 and Tamales $1.50 and platters mostly around $10.00. While they have the usual chicken and beef dishes they also have a number of lamb dishes. I had a lamb barbacoa platter which was fabulous. They also have a lamb soup which I can't wait to try. In addition they feature dishes from meats like tripe and tongue. We bought an order of chicken flautas which were terrific. 4 for $8.50 with rice and beens. We placed a very big order which included two platters, a couple of tamales and a whole grilled chicken (really delicious) which we plan to eat for several meals--($9.00). Everything we bought was only $34.00 with tax. This is a very exciting find. Try it and tell your friends. I really want these folks to thrive.
