Stumbled upon this amazing place with my group of friends and wow I can't say enough about the quality of food and amazing service. Top notch flavor and meat was flavorful the cook will do anything u can think of. Amazing and I will be back for more.
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.
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. 7.5/10 They 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.
HUGE Portions! I was craving authentic Birria Tacos and made my way to Taqueria Leon in San Mateo. I came right when they opened so there were plenty of outdoor seating and not too many people in the queue. The neighborhood had tons of parking so I wouldn't worry about finding parking in the surrounding area. I ordered 3 Birria Tacos and got my order pretty quickly. Once I got my order I was amazed at how huge the portions were. I guess I'm just used to San Francisco Birria Taco sizes. If anyone is looking for an authentic and more affordable option for Birria Tacos outside of the city, Taqueria Leon is the place to be!
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.
