My partner and I have been coming to Casa de Leo for a couple of years and I'm not sure why it has taken me so long to write this review. We absolutely love this place.
No matter when we visit, the service is consistently outstanding. They always have plenty of staff on the floor, and every table is treated like it matters. There's a level of attentiveness here that never feels forced, just genuinely warm and polished.
While we've never had a bad dish, a few favorites keep calling us back. The Camarones Roca are a must for an appetizer. The Taco de Leo is unforgettable and practically melts in your mouth. It's made with a flour tortilla, cheese crust, beef filet with pork rind in salsa verde, and a slice of avocado, and the combination is just outstanding. My partner often orders the Camarón Robata, whole shrimp served over yellow rice braised in a special sauce, and it never disappoints.
For drinks, we almost always go with the Pepino Martini and the Cadillac Margarita. Just writing this makes my mouth water.
We've tried other comparable restaurants in Tijuana over the years, but we always end up coming back to Casa de Leo. The service, food quality, and ambiance simply don't compare.
If you have the chance, ask to sit in Raymundo's section. We now request him every time we make a reservation. He's an excellent server with a great smile and somehow remembers our drinks without even asking.
Casa de Leo continues to be one of our favorite spots, and we look forward to many more lunches there. read more
