I'm happy to say I've found my favorite Mexican restaurant thus far in Houston. I stumbled upon this place browsing Yelp in search of a chimichanga that would satisfy my late night craving. And I was NOT disappointed. The chimichanga was cooked just right and filled with the juiciest beef I've ever had. They use a cheese sauce in both the rice and beans, which added an authentic and succulent taste to both. I also had the beef fajita and barbacoa tacos which were just as out of this world. The green sauce was SO delicious (and spicy). The restaurant itself is located in a rougher looking area in Spring Branch. So don't expect to walk into the Ritz Carlton. But everyone knows that the hood spots have the best tasting food. This will be my go to Mexican restaurant going forward. read more

Casa De Leon - Chimichanga w/ Beans & Rice - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

This an authentic restaurant with great flavors and foods. The staff are pleasant, fast, and friendly. We had the enchiladas (three on the plate) with fajita meat, rice, and retried beans. It was fresh, cheesy, and flavorful. We also had the large quesadilla with fajita beef. The quesadilla is huge and likely enough for 1.5-2 people. This is probably the best quesadilla I've ever had and my favorite item on the menu. The meal is served with chips and green and red sauce also. The parking lot is shared with other stores in the shopping strip. Plenty of open spots. Not a restaurant I'd take a formal party to, but definitely great for casual lunches and dinners. Will return! read more

I have eaten at this spot a couple of times before, nothing notable. Last night though, needed late night sustenance and went to Yelp for help finding something open at 11pm. Called ahead to verify hours and lady was super pleasant adding they closed at midnight and masks would be required. Parking lot of restaurant is NOT the safest at night (Cook was literally locking and unlocking door to let people in and out of restaurant due to vagrant loitering). Staff was super friendly and service was great, even 30 minutes until close! Ordered the mixed (chx + beef) fajitas for 2 with flour tortillas. I am very picky about meat and was very happy with fajitas. The tortillas could be slightly thicker. Guacamole was great! We will definitely be back for late night eats! Not best taqueria/Mexican restaurant around but definitely top 10. read more

Casa De Leon - Store Front - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

The place is run down as hell and the floors, doors, and walls are rotting. they have not updated this building in who knows how long. My parents used to bring me here a kid but i couldn't remember if it was good or not. Our waitress was amazing, so i'm not saying that service is a problem. the food was just awful. The salsa was a 10/10 and i'd probably come back JUST for that. But the food was not seasoned well, the steak was tough, and everything else was bland. 2 stars for the food, 1 star for salsa. Ended up paying $15 for this huge plate of food including tip, but I should've just gone to whataburger with it instead. read more

Casa De Leon - milanesa - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

I was in need of some late night sustenance, and didn't feel like my usual Whataburger. So off to Yelp I went to look for a good taqueria. I found this one, and stopped in. The service was friendly and the tacos were delicious! I would definitely go back! read more

Great hole in the wall for Texmex but not as heavy as typical texmex places. I had enchiladas and my wife had chicken fajitas; both really good but the chicken seemed more stir fried than grilled. I loved the green salsa they provided - really tasty and spicy. I'd definitely come again regularly. read more

This is my favorite "hole in the wall" authentic Mexican spot! I've been coming here since I was a kid, whether on the weekdays for dinner or on Sundays after church. Very little has changed! The menu has a variety of delicious appetizers (guac is so fresh), plates (I go for the enchiladas), or a la carte (the best taco meats are the beef fajita or the pastor). Their chips always come out hot and I can eat basket after basket of them. Their salsa verde is the better of the two options, the red is too plain/bland for me. The service is great, the waitstaff are the nicest people who also speak both Spanish and English. My favorite thing to get here are the tacos off the a la carte menu. You have the options of soft/crispy (only the crispy tacos come with cheese though), and flour/corn. There's a list of meats to choose from and they're under $2 each - great price! When you're done with your meal, you pay at the counter (they take cash or card). read more

This place has traditional Mexican dishes. Excellent customer service. Tacos are their signature dish and they do not disappoint. What does disappoint is there commitment to be a hole in the wall establishment. Dude, change the lighting, paint the walls, and your bathroom takes me back to a third world country. I thought I was going to have to get a bucket of water to flush the toilet. Come on, update and tidy up. read more

The best tacos period! The birria tacos are THE BOMB! pork leg also delicious! Homemade tortilla chips! AMAZING SALSA! Chimichanga also amazing! Everytime I visit houston, I have to stop by! I always come back and never once disappointed!!! read more

I heart CDL.... I'm hopeful to find a place as good in Colorado... I'll miss the staff and their familiar faces. They are happy to take requests and got to know my "no meat, guac instead, sans the cheese and sour cream and please add pico..." All those changes and they still knew my "usual" order! I will say that my concoction was very tasty! Dairy and I don't get along and at the time, I wasn't eating meat... Still, the staff were happy to accommodate. That says a lot for a tiny place. Good food... all made fresh and to order. The margs are good (and cheap) as well. Love that green sauce, but if it's a bit much for you, squeeze a few limes in it, stir, and enjoy :) read more

It was fine. It was basically what I wanted. Sorta. Street tacos and chips & salsa. I really wanted Birria but they didn't bring me that. Oh well. Good basic street tacos. Good service. read more

Looked for a taqueria on the way to IKEA. If you come here to eat, you definitely want to know or bring someone you know with you who speaks Spanish. When I called to ask if this establishment had "Dine In" (due to Covid some places don't.) the lady who was on the phone didn't quite understand me and hung up. My husband asked me if I still wanted to go try this place out after she hung up on me, and I said yes because it was because of a language barrier, which is different for me than just blatant bad customer service. Luckily my husband speaks Spanish so I do get to enjoy authentic taquerias in Houston! The portions here are huge! They only have one choice for Margaritas and that is lemon-lime on the rocks. This place isn't fancy but the food is delicious. read more

Casa De Leon - Machacado ala Mexicana con tosino y cilantro revuelto - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Tried this place for the first time and we're so glad we did! We got the carne guisada and caldo de cameron. The portions were plentiful and the refried beans were amazing. I initially wanted the caldo de res but it was sold out by the time we got there, but the caldo de Cameron did not disappoint! They also had the softest pillowy corn tortillas. Most importantly, they have amazing micheladas! I only like my micheladas from Captain Tom's or Mambo's but Casa De Leon has earned their spot to my top favorite micheladas! read more

Good food and even better customer service. Waiter constantly checked on us and was very friendly. Food was out without 10 minutes of ordering. Good experience overall. read more

Great Tacos, better prices & really good service. Some of the better Al Pastor I've had lately, and pretty good Barbacoa. read more

Excellent food and good prices. Service quick and friendly for my lunch visit. Daily specials available.

Awesome for for an awesome deal. I love the barbacoa tacos on flour tortillas. I ordered my tacos with no onions and EXTRA EXTRA cilantros. They give you a squeeze bottle of green sauce & red sauce for your tortilla chips. I like to squeeze tons of green sauce on my tacos. It's just as good as the taco trucks barbacoa tacos...if not better (and with a sit down area). Pair it with some ochata and also The caldo de res was superb as well. I like getting food here every time I'm in the area and have time read more

I've eating here since I was 4yrs old ! And I'm currently 19. It's honestly a lovely restaurant and so friendly I guarantee that you will feel welcomed and at home ! :) I also recommend the "milanesa" and "chilaquiles" super yummy !!!!! read more

We found this place after a few friends had been. It's our "cheap place to go" after an evening of climbing the walls at Texas Rock Gym very close by. It's not fancy food, but basic mexican. The staff is awesome and their guac is sooo fresh. They bring it to me without asking now and they know what beer I want. Can you ask for more? The meat eaters I know love their tacos! read more

I wanted to give them a better rating because the beans and rice are delicious and our waiter was very nice and attentive. But the chicken in my taco and enchilada didn't taste right. I got the shredded chicken and not the fajita meat. Furthermore, I stumbled on a chicken bone in the enchilada that could have broken a tooth. If you want a better experience with an enchilada verde, try the fajita chicken on it. I've had that before and it's much better along with the wonderful green sauce. read more

Casa De Leon - This restaurant consistently has great beans and rice. This is a very reasonably priced combination plate. - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

OMG! The salsa is amazing! Large portions of fantastic food! Flavorful and such quick service! We were there about an hour before closing and they treated us with such kindness and courtesy! Wow! I had their crunchy chicken taco plate. At first I thought, no way I can eat all that! But it was so good that I ended up scarfing it all down! Thank you Casa De Leon! See you next time! read more

If you're in the area and you want really good traditional Mexican food this is the place! The service is amazing the portions are good and my coffee never went below half the service was so good made me feel at home. Give this place a full five stars. Food was delicious too. The only thing i would say is that it's a small place so you might have to either wait for seating. read more

Casa de Leon is our go-to Mexican breakfast restaurant in the Spring Branch area. The place is always a cool mix of local Anglos and Hispanics from the areas that Campbell divides. It's a Houston border restaurant. It is also a complete greasy-spoon diner. The service is always attentive and mindful of my ice tea or coffee needs. They are also quick. The food is basic Tex-Mex breakfast. The tortillas are handmade. They are thin and lard-heavy, therefore crisp and slightly chewy. The Huevos a la Mexicana are always tasty and well-balanced. The chorizo con huevo is on target every time. The beans are creamy, which probably means a lot of lard. Oh, well. They're pretty flavorful and topped with Chihuahua cheese. The barbacoa taco was sub-par. It was quite greasy and lacked flavor. Prices are ridiculously low, so everything should be seen through that lens. Oddly, their coffee is fantastic. They serve three salsas with your meal. All are flavorful, with the red one being downright spicy. Get the guacamole. Cheap, plentiful and tasty. read more

I love this place. I can't rave about it enough!! Their breakfast plates are so filling and the bomb dot com. $3.50 for a full plate PLUS homemade tortillas....come on you can't beat that! We also come here for lunch on Sundays after church and it's delicious. Everyone is friendly and their customer service is great. I wish I had enough time to take pix but legit when I get my food my face is being stuffed with food ‍‍ read more

My co-worker occasionally treats our staff to their breakfast tacos! My review is based only on the breakfast tacos and not their service or etc. We've tried the barbacoa, potato and egg, chorizzo and egg, ham and egg, bacon and egg. They provide us a side of limes, onions, cilantro, and taco sauce. The flour tortillas are delicious, especially when they're hot. There are generous portions in each taco. My staff and I love these tacos! I'll definitely consider trying other items on their menu! read more

Staff is pretty friendly and was pretty pumped for the food. I got some standard beef fajita tacos on corn tortillas, my wife got birria. This was a takeout meal (during Covid-19) but we ate straight away in the car. It was decent but just didn't strike to me as special, didn't get any green salsa with my food but the red salsa was pretty good. Overall decent food and place just doesn't making a lasting impression on me. read more

Take out is completely opposite to dine in. I hate take out they never get the order right always mixing up orders and never put green salsa not ever I order daily. read more

Well you know it's going to be a good Taqueria when you go in and the friendly staff will default to greeting you in Spanish. I found this location to be convenient while I was getting some work done at Discount Tire next door. (Especially since I read the alternative close-by Tornado Taco stopped serving those delicious burgers in 2015!) I ordered their Carne Guisada off the lunch menu which seemed good for a cool January day. Honestly it's a steal of a deal especially considering how fast the food came out. (Maybe a bit *too* fast. )The beef stew was pretty good, quite tender meat and tasty sauce. However, I think it was a bit watery and there could have been more depth of flavor. The refried beans were a bit watery as well and bland. To be fair, some of that water may have come from the pico de gallo on the plate which was delicious with spicy jalapeños. The Mexican rice was light and fluffy so overall with the warm tortillas it's a nice meal. The service was prompt and attentive. I also liked the portion size which was not too much. Another plus is you don't get that Tex-Mex (clearly this is not a Tex-Mex place,) food over-stuffed feeling after eating here. While it's not a taqueria standout, it's a good meal at a great price. read more
