    Quesadilla with Chicken
    Tisha R.

    The food is delicious. I ordered the quesadillas with chicken. It was filling but I didn't leave stuffed. We were seated upon arrival and drink orders were taken. The kind server came back within a reasonable time to take our food order. It was a good first experience. The restroom was decent. The restaurant wasn't crowded.

    Headed to Cali for a football game and came here for breakfast. The chilaquiles, red, were awesome, probably the best I have had yet. The refried beans were very good. My wife had the chorizo and eggs and enjoyed them. The prices are extremely reasonable for the good quality food you get. We were just here 2 days ago for dinner and this will be our New Mexican food hangout

    The food was pretty good. Probably some of the best I've had in a long time. Was not disappointed. The plates have big portions which is a plus. All in all would recommend to family and friends.

    We have came here a few times since our first visit and every time we have absolutely loved our food and service, for dinner or brunch this place is so wonderful. My picky 1.5 year old loved his food so much he even licked his plate when he was done. We bring family here when they come to Arizona to show them this place because it's our new favorite place to eat and it's never too busy. Would give them 10 stars if I could.

    Molcajete was so delicious definitely recommend if you want a little buffet for one lol!

    Casa de Leyva we will be back !! The staff were so nice and we even got to meet the chef to let him know how great his menu and food is! It was truly delicious and great to see such authentic dishes on the menu!! If your looking for a great Mexican restaurant go to casa de Leyva it's so cute inside as well

    Chicken mole and small Menudo.
    Veronica G.

    Our family is pretty picky when it comes to Mexican food. This is definitely AUTHENTIC Mexican food. I was a big fan of the chicken mole. My MIL was a fan of their Menudo. Will definitely come back with the family. The vibe was great with current music and a beautifully designed dining room. Service was also great

    I asked for a tall Modelo and I got what I asked for, this tall and extra-wide; so wide it had three limes.

    Main Street Buckeye is a place out of time and Casa de Leyva fits right in. It's authentic, feels like it's been waiting for you a hundred years. You step on the dirt parking lot, enter through the back, and before you pull open the rough hacienda style doors, you're already living the experience. If you sit at the rustic wood-plank bar, ask for a tall beer and crunch on their tortilla chips while they pour you a massive drink. Despite the feel, they're new, so we'll see how they do in real time, but if you're looking for a unique experience, it's worth stepping off the concrete malls in the suburb.

    Enchiladas - cheese although the menu was for chicken
    Sandy L.

    The business is under new owners with a new menu. They have just opened, and have some kinks to work out. Service was great with our waitress, but there were just 2 waitresses and the place was pretty busy at lunchtime. I'm hoping in time, that they consider doing some lunch specials. That would be my only "complaint". We have very few sit down places for lunch in Old Town, but it was almost $50 for 2 meals and 2 sodas, as they were dinner portions. I'm excited to try it out in a few more weeks and hopefully see some lunch portions.

    Taco trio

    Stopped in for lunch and wow- what an experience! Tacos were overflowing with juicy, perfectly seasoned meats - not just a sprinkle but absolutely packed. Every bite was full of flavor and satisfaction. I didn't try it this time, but they offer all-you-can-eat Taco Tuesday for just $19.99. Definitely coming back for that! If you love tacos done right, put this spot on the top of your list!

    Pozole
    Christopher S.

    The 4 star rating is only because the morning breakfast crowd ate all of the menudo; otherwise a 5 star is warranted. My party of 2 arrived near noon but breakfast was still being served. We ordered potato taquitos appetizer which is served with guacamole on a bed of lettuce. Tasty but I would prefer more seasoning on the potatoes. My wife had the pozole with beef And served with corn or flour tortillas. Beware: the soup is served in a huge bowl. The broth is a bit spicy and very flavorful. The meat was flavorful and tender and they didn't skimp on the amount given. I had beef chilaquiles with green salsa and 2 eggs. The steak was a good sized portion and perfectly cooked for my taste. The flavor was wonderful. The service was great; our server was friendly and attentive. We also spoke to the owners who were very friendly and gave us a brief history of the restaurant. The ambiance is what I would describe as rustic with a large open space for seating and I high ceiling. There is also a bar for those who want to have a drink as you wait for your table. All in all we enjoyed our meals and the experience.

    Chile Delano
    Diane G.

    Food was horrible. Salsa had no flavor and the chips had a weird taste. They messed up our orders we ordered a wet burrito with green sauce and green enchiladas they brought both dishes with red sauce and I ordered steak fajitas and the steak was bloody raw. I sent those back and got chile rellanos which were rubbery and not even fried. On top of that it was extremely pricey. Needless to say we will not be going back there again. I'll stick with la fiesta

    enchiladas were yummy but $20 total to sub cheese. I felt ripped off.

    One of the best breakfasts I've had in a decade…read more Over the years, Americans have converted breakfast to a corporate affair. Today, our breakfasts are experienced at places like "Over Easy," "First Watch," "Village Inn," and "Denny's." It's industrial breakfast. The old-fashioned, mom-and-pop diners are as rare as a hen's tooth. But not in Buckeye, Arizona. The Heritage is a welcome return to the great, neighborhood breakfast counters of old. It's privately owned and the owner, Kevin, greets you and stops by your table. "That's great," you say. But what about the food? And that's where The Heritage makes its name. Let's start with the homemade, pillowy sourdough English muffins. Most places use some industrial-food English muffin preserved with disgusting ingredients like L-Cysteine. These aren't those. These are like your grandma made. They're soft, yeasty circles of beauty with just enough sourdough taste to send your tastebuds into bread heaven. They're a far cry from your basic English muffin. On to the eggs. Most breakfast restaurants use liquid eggs from the restaurant supply. They come in big bags, bereft of nutritious value and flavor, but full of preservatives. Not these. The Heritage uses fresh eggs and they've perfected how to make them fluffy, buttery, and perfectly-cooked. No brown spots or runny middles. It's egg perfection. The sausage is really different. These are not your usual Sysco or Shamrock greasy pucks. They're thin and fresh and meaty and just slightly spicy (not hot just slightly herby). They're a subtle flavor surprise. And fork tender. The potatoes are little cubes of rich goodness. Cooked just right and golden brown. They're excellent. To finish off the breakfast, Heritage serves a luscious Carmel pecan roll with a vanilla glaze. I liked it but it was slightly dry if I want to be ridiculously nit-picky. But most people wouldn't even notice. All of it is served by some smiling young women who were working hard and answering lots of questions. The entire service experience was pleasant, friendly, and efficient. On a Saturday morning the place was PACKED so service was slightly slow. Though nothing like a crazy morning at Over-Easy or First Watch. What an amazing and pleasant surprise this little restaurant is. Their breakfast burrito looked excellent and everybody around us was raving about it. I'll try that next. The menu is small but efficient and contains some little gems. Give the cinnamon roll a try too! This is an absolute must for breakfast or brunch. And I hear the owner is thinking about offering dinner in the near future. A needed find in a historic building in old downtown Buckeye. A new favorite.

It's a smash burger with lettuce, tomato, onion, smash sauce, and pickle. You get the option of chips, fries, or a side salad. I ordered it no onions, double patty, with fries. If I had to rate it, I'd say 7/10. The fries were just cooked enough and almost had a hint of being undercooked. The burger itself was pretty tasty, but if the bun was a little softer, I would've given it a solid 9/10. Still, their breakfast is always delicious, and that's usually what keeps us coming back.

The moment you walk in, you're met with a warm, farmhouse vibe, complete with sheep-themed décor that somehow manages to be both charming and unpretentious. It feels like the kind of place where you can settle in, relax, and enjoy a meal without any fuss. The food is consistently hearty, well-prepared, and priced in a way that reminds you that good breakfast doesn't have to break the bank. Whether you're in the mood for classic staples or something a little more filling, they deliver every time. The staff is another standout: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming in a way that adds to the overall experience. They open early--which is perfect for early risers like me--but they close early as well, so plan ahead if you're thinking of a late lunch. Conveniently tucked just off the main drag on Lower Buckeye, it's easy to get to and checks all the boxes for what a local breakfast spot should be. I've been here several times now, and it's officially my go-to place whenever I'm in town and craving a solid, satisfying breakfast. Keep up the great work, Sheep Camp!

    On our second visit, I was more disappointed with this place. Our first visit was during their soft…read moreopening. It was at that time I discovered almost everything on the menu has some form of citrus in it. As one of the less-common allergies to be exposed to, I was careful with what I ordered during that visit, and the first time, during the soft opening, the server helped me find something that would not trigger my allergy. This morning, our second visit, we went back. I knew the place was a potential trigger for me. I mentioned to our server about my allergy and that I was having a difficult time finding something that would work for me, and she just kind of shrugged her shoulders and walked away. This non-verbal action basically said "figure it out on your own." I thought I found something on the menu that would work, and ordered it. I do not recall the menu description having any indication of a trigger for me. I thought I was safe. The chickachanga was SMOTHERED in hollandaise. Normally, I can handle hollandaise and be tolerable with my allergy. First Watch's hollandaise is made with far more lemon than reasonably needed. My husband tasted the sauce and even said "Wow! That is SUPER lemony!" I get lemon and lime are flavors to brighten some flavor profiles, but almost every dish on their menu has it. Arugula dressed in lemon, their fresh drinks are all based in lemon juice, their hollandaise has more lemon than needed, the list goes on. Fortunately, for my allergy, it's mild. I wont die from exposure, I will, however, be incredibly uncomfortable for the rest of the day. But, what if it was something more common? Would that same server shrug her shoulders and walk away when a food allergy is mentioned? No matter what kind of deal or promise is made, I cannot go back. The lack of concern from the server is what made that decision for me. There's a better sit-down breakfast/brunch place across the street that doesnt slather everything in citrus.

    Service was kind of horrible the day we went, but I think somebody new was being trained. Not…read moresure, honestly. Lots of seating and it's bright and clean. Lots of decent food options with lots of healthier or fresh options. I wasn't blown away but I do appreciate the range of the menu and my parents who live locally love the place.

The building is old, which is fine it actually gives it character and charm inside. The issue is that it doesn't feel well maintained.

The lady with black hair who helped us was very friendly, and honestly, she made the experience a bit better. I almost feel bad pointing this out, but even small details stood out like her shoes looking dirty, not worn out, just not clean. I ordered the chile relleno, and it was my first time having it with red sauce. Not a big deal, but the sauce was surprising. It tasted more like Taco Bell sauce than an actual chile-based sauce. It definitely didn't resemble a chile colorado or anything close to a New Mexico or Anaheim chile flavor. The consistency was thick, more like a barbecue sauce, very similar to those packet sauces. The portions are big, which is a plus, but the flavor just isn't there. Overall, customer service is good, the building has charm, but the cleanliness is an issue, and the food doesn't stand out. Prices are okay maybe a little high for the location and condition of the place, but not extremely expensive.
