Had a craving for street tacos and this was a location close to where I was staying. Came in about 45 minutes before closing and place was still busy. Quickly seated, provided chips and salsa then ordered house margarita (have short or tall size, short pictured). Food was good, unfortunately I used a little too much hot sauce that over powered my street tacos. Margarita was ok, nothing to write home about and also available frozen if desired. Staff was friendly and quick along with kitchen getting the food out rapidly. Great location to fill taco Tuesday needs in relaxed atmosphere with music and TV at bar seating if desired. If you want to save a few penny's bring cash as there is a slight charge for using your card. read more

Our new favorite Mexican restaurant! Very clean, and nicely decorated! We were quickly seated and our drink order was taken immediately as well as chips and salsa delivered to the table. The chips taste homemade!!! We all ordered different entrees and everyone was pleased with their choices! The Casa Leon salad is a family favorite!!! We have returned to this restaurant at least 5 times. Highly recommend. read more

Casa Leon - Try sitting at the bar it's amazing!! - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Amazing traditional mex. No oat milk tofu fajitas. Bring your appetite, I just hope there isn't anyone out there that can take down chips, salsa and a full meal. Expect to share or bring leftovers home for a midnight snack. Their beans are very flavorful and come with most meals. I am not as fond of their rice. If you live anywhere near Mayport road, it is a must!! read more

Mediocre food, do not listen to reviews about authentic Mexican food. Poor service and this place is empty. Lastly charging for chips and salsa is crazy in a restaurant of this caliber. Will not return. read more

Our second chance visit. I ordered a enchilada with rice and beans. Simple enough, I thought. The rice and beans were cold and the enchilada had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. The hubby ordered the 3 taco special with a side of rice and beans.....both ordered a drink, had our first "complimentary" small basket of chips and salsa. we also ordered queso on the side, which had separated ( had to be mwlted and mixed with water or milk). Total$45! Threw our leftovers away as soon as we got home. very disappointed read more

This is a real Mexican Restaurant. Their selections of both Food, Tequila and Wines are excellent and far above the average restaurant. I would wholeheartedly recommend them. The Sangria is very good but don't make the mistake I did by starting with the smallest glass. read more

Attentive servers, good range of beers on tap, really big portions, and fair prices. It's a good place to meet up with buddies for a beer and some tacos. read more

Great and attentive service. Food was very authentic and the mixology was weak. We order a variety of food and drinks. Plenty of parking. Restrooms were clean, crowded with workers. read more

Foods decent. The prices are OUTRAGEOUS. Mexican food is supposed to be cheap. $14.99 for a 3 taco platter is absurd. $20+ for fajitas is absurd. $15 for chimichangas is absurd. $2.99 upcharge if you want grilled chicken.... $18 chimichangas w grilled chicken. Yeah I can literally eat at a steakhouse/close to fine dining for the same price. Why would I ever pick it w those prices? read more

Always been a go to and a good one at it! Absolutely love the food here! Will be returning asap!

We have eaten there several times with our family. The new Owners/Management is horrible. Very disappointed the last two visits. Cold food, tough steak, no refills on all our drinks, just to mention a few. Ordered Maria's Burritos $14.25 and with that price, the meal came with NO SIDES. A little bit of grated cheese on top, no beans and no rice. We will not be going back there. Too many excellent Mexican Restaurants to waste my money with them. read more

The newly renovated place looks awesome! The food is great and I'm glad they kept it open! The New Grand Opening is this Saturday January 25th. read more

This is our new go to spot! It's small and intimate with beautiful paintings all over the walls! It's family run. Literally dad runs kitchen and makes the drinks and daughters run the tables. So cool. PROS: service- our waitress was hilarious and so sweet and attentive! Best salsa I've ever had! Homemade!! Spicy and sweet! Secret recipe dad makes!!! They sent me home with extra! $2.99 margaritas and long islands for happy hour 4-7 pm. OMG THE BEST MARG IVE EVER HAD! No mixer! Homemade lime mixture. So fresh and so strong!!!!!! Entrees were comparable to other Mexican places, but good! Cons: the meal ended! Such a great experience!! read more

I would drive by all the time on Sundays and was always curious about how the food tasted. Finally got to try it and it did not disappoint. There's a reason why every table was filled and the parking lot was packed. The tacos were packed with meat which was tender, juicy, and packed with lots of flavor. It was well worth the wait. read more

We love going to Casa Leon. They have authentic Mexican food made by Mexicans. We love the portions and the atmosphere. We often go for the chimichanga. We also use them for takeout. read more

Went on Saturday about 8pm .. excellent food and service .. I like the changes they have made.. looks cool

The food was very good. The gentleman checking me out was rude was impatient and rude.

Well I will start this off by saying I AM A HUGE MEXICAN FOOD LOVER. Everything about it just makes me happy. I have one place I usually go to BUT will be making the travel to Casa Leon as well because the service plus the food was just simply perfect. They have great margaritas and their cheese dip is delectable. You can tell they make their salsa fresh in house. I loved their guacamole as well. The best part is as it was coming to their closing time it was like they all came together as a family and you could just feel the love in the place. Everyone was so kind to us. We WILL be back super soon with our friends. PS. Their chairs are so legit. All wooden with their names engraved, just had to note that. Hey... it's the little things. read more

Great place and food !!! Great people and value . Good service and fast. Big portions of food

I had lunch there yesterday (5/15/25) and honestly enjoyed the Taco Salad which was loaded with plenty of everything and all tasted very good. A little pricey, in my opinion ($13.00) but on the other hand, could have easily taken half home for a second meal (which I did do). read more

It is an ok place, nothing out of the ordinary. The food could be much better. The taste and the quality are average. On our last visit we ordered Fajitas Texanas with beef, chicken and shrimp, a side plate of rice, beans and Mexican salad. read more

This use to be one of my Favorite restaurants but with the ownership change we have been back 3 times and I'm not impressed with this new management. Food is NOT the same and for the prices jacked up it's not worth it. Miss the old Casa Leon and the family that owned it and made the food so good ! We'll not be back. read more

I love Casa Leon! I have to search through a lot of pictures to find theirs but everything I've had has been good. Rice, beans, salsa, churros, tacos... and their HH margarita got me right more than a couple of times. The customer service is great and you can tell it's family owned but what you see and how they run the joint. It's far away down Mayport and probably seriously overlooked because you have to u-turn just to get to it and it's tucked away where there isn't much around it. But if you're in the beach area it's a small place that is definitely worth the try. I judge a place a lot by their rice and beans and I could eat there's all day. It's simple and to the point, just like I like it!! read more

This is a quick and convenient location on mayport road for great Mexican food. The staff was helpful and service quick. I always judge a restaurant like this on their beans and rice, and Casa Leon's stand up. The beans are flavorful and the rice is perfectly cooked. Their burritos are my favorite! read more

My first time here with a friend. I couldn't snap the pictures quick enough! Food was amazing and flavorful. The service was awesome! The waiter was super nice and funny. Extremely helpful. Nice mom and pop, family ambiance restaurant. I recommend 10/10! read more

Third time here. Really enjoyed the ambience, the food and how kind the employees are. Food is actually really good and pretty authentic. Nothing different or special than any other typical Mexican restaurant, but the food and service makes it a 5 star. Reasonable price for the amount of food you get. ( other than tacos I don't believe 3 taco as should cost $16, but that's everywhere lately) Good place. Definitely will keep coming back. read more

Wish I could leave 0 stars. The only people who will like this food are gringos. I got the Arroz con pollo. They seasoned it with salt and used shredded cheese as their queso. "Authentic mexican food"...i think not. Who tf puts shredded cheese on mexican food. Do better. Make actual food de méxico. Womp womp to your establishment. read more

After wanting Mexican but not the usual tacos, I remembered I've been wanting to try Casa Leon. I ordered the Potter's pollo con arroz, their version of arroz con pollo: grilled chicken and rice but it's smothered in yummy cheese sauce. I added grilled mushrooms and onions which I highly recommend for only a dollar more. It was still steaming hot by the time I got home. It tasted as incredible as it smelled: flavorful and savory in every bite, including the rice which some places don't season as well. It's a good-sized portion, easily two meals. It's definitely a dish that will taste even better as leftovers. It came with a side of chips and salsa. I typically don't care for sweet salsa but theirs isn't overpowering and it balances the acidity and heat well. Casa Leon gets a thumbs up for this version. It's more like comfort food than your typical arroz con pollo and it's difference makes it a new favorite dish! read more

Casa Leon - Potter's Pollo con Arroz - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

My all time favorite Mexican restaurant in Jacksonville when I stayed nearby I ate here every week. I recommend trying their enchiladas with rice and beans. The flavors on their sauce just aren't comparable to anywhere else. 10/10 read more

They have the best real Mexican food I've had in a long time. Everything we ordered was delicious. The staff was attentive and very friendly. The ambiance was okay, but both me and my boyfriend did not like the overhead lighting. It made the restaurant really bright. I'm craving the chili rellenos (they use problano peppers) I had just thinking about them! read more

My friend and I went here before catching a class at the comedy club on a Thursday. Despite arriving with plenty of time the service was so slow we were late. The food was alright. Had heard it was really something so hot our hopes up but generally speaking, nothing to write home about. Be advised- there were quite a few kids running around and they don't serve hard liquor to cancel them out. All in all, not the best, not the worst. I won't be heading back anytime soon. read more

The food is amazing I got the mega burrito and it was HUGE the service is very fast and it's very quiet to eat never judge a book by its cover read more

Food was great .. We got our food super quick and was delicious.. Service was good will definitely be back

Chips seem fresh. Salsa is a tad watery imo, but otherwise good. I got the beef chimichanga lunch, and it came with beans, rice, guacamole, sour cream, lettuce, and tomato. Everything was fairly on point, and the things that should be fresh were fresh. I just have a hard time giving five stars since nothing stood out to me, but I'm sure I'll end up here again. read more

I have lived in this area for many years. I always pass this place going to or coming from mayport naval base. This is the first time I visited casa leon and I learned I have been missing out. The outside is bright red and easy to spot from mayport road. The inside has a bright Mexican atmosphere. They have Mexican mural art all over the walls. Everything is clean in top condition. I could not make up my mind on what to order. I kept flip. Flopping on two choices while speaking with our server. She chimed in and started praising the casa Grande. I was hesitant at first about the ground beef. Our server assured me of the meat and even brought me a sample to taste to help my decision. All the food we got here tasted very well flavored. Everything was cooked perfectly through. The chilli relleno was in the top three I have had in my worldly travels. Overall I learned what I been missing all these years by not going here. They do offer a military discount for dinner meals after 4 p.m. read more
