Amazing service! My all time favorite is the stuffed avocado. As well as the Chili Relleno w/ Brisket.

We were so excited to eat at a Leal's but it's nothing like I remember from 10 years ago. The food was not seasoned at all and the salsa seemed to be made from canned tomatoes - no jalapeños, no onion, no chile. I ordered chicken fajitas and my friend ordered carne asada. Thumbs down. :( read more

Food has gone down over the last ten years. The Joe Rhodes use to give you enough meat to make extra burritos; not anymore. Very little meat in the burrito and only six pieces to use with extra tortillas. Flavor has changed as well. Not impressed, Juanita's rules read more

May have just found our favorite sit down Mexican Restaurant in Clovis! Loved the table lay out especially the partially enclosed booths that have a feeling of privacy which was great for families with kids and the food was fantastic! The chips and salsa were delicious and their white queso might have been the best thing we ate! The entrees were unique and flavorful and the service was fast and friendly. We'll definitely be back! read more

Yum ..... Great Find in Clovis Coming through on Vacation Great Mexican / TexMex Loved the enchiladas Great Sauces ! Everything we had was great I can tell why they have been around for years ! read more

When I moved here, everyone recommended this restaurant. Now, having given it many chances, I can say there are other Mexican restaurants in this town, far better than this one. Service is often slow, food is at best- mediocre, the ambience is friendly and relaxed. Doesn't merit more than 3 stars from me. read more

Leals did not disappoint! I had the #8 combination plate, 3 cheese enchiladas and a crispy chile relleno! The food came out in a timely manner and the waitress was very attentive and friendly. The sweet tea is so good here definitely recommend if you're a tea fan! They now check you out at your table to avoid the long check out line. Leal's is very good and I'll definitely be back! The restaurant was clean and bathrooms are okay also. read more

We visit Elida, NM family every few years and always have to drive to Clovis for this staple Mexican restaurant. In particular, they are famous for their stuffed avocado. It's fairly unique and delicious. That said, we haven't met anything on the menu that we haven't loved! If you like your salsa extra hot ask for a bowl of the hot salsa; you won't be disappointed. This place is always a great time. Sometimes it's two of us and other times up to 16 and they never miss a beat. Don't hesitate! read more

Leal's Mexican Restaurant - Chicken Fajita Feast! Sooooo good! - Mexican Near Me - Clovis, New Mexico

I am not sure why these stars aren't 4 or higher! The food here is wonderful Tex mex food! I had the Chile con queso con carne. Their chips were warm and fresh! Their sweet tea wasn't really sweet but they kindly switched it for another beverage. I had the combo #1 with cheese enchilada with red sauce and a soft taco. Hubs had a smothered burrito that had stewed meat and he raves about how "melt in his mouth" the meat was. We both thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. The staff were prompt and courteous. read more

Amazing service and great food. Salsa selection is incredible, great take on Tex-Mex with enough of their own unique flair to recommend this restaurant above all others. I only wish their store bought salsa tasted half as good as their in house recipe! I will definitely be back! Thanks for a great experience!! read more

What a gem! Fun, inviting dining room. Friendly, helpful staff. Clean restrooms. The salsa is fresh and packs a bite! We had the Chile Relleno and Chicken Fajitas. Both were abundant and amazing. Our server, Lucinda, was super helpful, sweet and courteous. We will definitely stop here every time we pass through! read more

Visiting family here in Clovis and they wanted to take us here. Unfortunately the food was pretty gross. I'm not sure if we are just used to do Mexican food back home. However, the next day, I was super sick and couldn't be more than a room away from a toilet which hindered our time with our family. read more

Very disappointed in leaks tonight, called at 4:45 yo place a to go order and was rudely told they don't don't take yo ho orders for one more hour. I have never had a problem ordering at this time previously, so needless to say we took our order to another Mexican food restaurant!!!! read more

Ordered take out. Was just wonderful!!! Service was excellent!!! Our guest enjoyed it also!

Reviewed September 2, 2018 Traditional style Mexican Food. First stop on the way to Roswell NM. We eat a lot of Mexican food out and prefer TexMex or NewMex. This was more traditional Mexican. Not particularly spicy, but you can get their hot salsas to spice it up to your taste. The very best thing they have is the Leal's Special. The most ordered dish of the restaurant. It is a taco, tamale and an enchilada with rice and beans. Great seasoning in the red sauce served on the enchilada. I ordered the Tacos Mexicana. Unless you like traditional Mexican food I do not recommend this dish. It is VERY greasy. The Leal's Special is a little greasy too, but it is good. If you want to stay away from the grease stick with a crispy taco or a salad. Nice folks run the place and wait staff does a good job. If you are passing through give it a try.

Food was great and I loved the margarita flight. Haven't really seen that before at a Mexican restaurant. It was perfect for me to share with the table as each margarita in the flight is four ounces. I just wanted two in the flight. My dinner companions had the other. Service was good, but tried to deliver another table's food to us. Ambiance was a little loud. One of my dining companions was hard of hearing. The noise made it difficult for him to hear our waitress. read more

Leal's is always a fantastic treat when visiting Clovis, NM. Unfortunately, I noticed whenever I take family and friends there (who are visiting town) it doesn't hit quite like it does when it's just my girlfriend and I. Either way, give it a shot! It's rather unique for this area. read more

Loved Leals! Had the chili relleno..... omg pro the best I've ever eaten! Hot and crispy and perfect. The beans and rice were excellent. The restaurant itself self was clean and very relaxing. The music playing was not overly loud. The service was superb. Very friendly and accommodating. Can't wait to go to Clovis again! read more

Very disappointing example of shrimp tacos. Maybe it's getting hard to find quality help in this covid age. I ordered shrimp tacos and got 2 flour tortillas with a single row of maybe 2 dice shrimp for $14. Not an impressive Lenten meal at all. The mask nazi hostess is rude. She talked herself right out of her tip. I'll be taking my business to Juanito's or Jalisco for a while. read more

Leal's Mexican Restaurant - Shrimp tacos or shrimp fajitas? I ordered tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Clovis, New Mexico

dear leals, i hope this letter finds you terribly. the server with the name Demaris D. (there's a reason she didn't put her full name) was super mean and principle like. regardless of my previous yelp reviews (shoutout yelp) demaris d. was the meanest of all. i was actually scared to order my food and when i did she couldn't even get it right. i think if the grinch was a real person his name would be demaris d. talan out. read more

Overpriced very cheap food. The Chilie Relleno was uneatable. Basically we paid 40.00 for chips. This was for two people and a child. Just because Clovis is a small town doesn't mean people don't know the difference between quality food and cheap low food cost ingredients. This will be are last time eating at Leal's. read more

As we travel thru the country trying Mexican restaurant this one is among the best. Chips and salsa were set on the table as soon as we sat down. We ask for extra hot salsa and mixed it with the house salsa-our tastebuds we're on fire for the rest of the meal. Margaritas were tangy and yum- two were just enough for the perfect buzz. Chips were thin and saltless. My husband's green chili enchiladas were awesome. He had three different meats and all were awesome. He also had an excellent side of guac. I had 3 combo dinner- taco was ok with the best thing g about it being that the shark was homemade. Tamale was awesome and so was my green cheese enchilada. Beans were average but who eats all of them anyway. The place was packed but the service was excellent. Will definitely come back if we pass thru Clovis again. Demaris was a great waitress! read more

great service! My first time here, the waiter is nice, and friendly! Our food came out fast! Food is delicious.

Dated decor, but authentico scent hits the moment you step inside. I ordered the LeAl's Special (beef) with Green Sauce. If I had thought, probably would have asked for the Soft Taco... The crunch DID hold together, and the salsa provided, had a mild "kick" of heat. The beef tamale was excellent. The best balanced element was the enchilada, though it looked more like a tacquito roll...a restaurant could build a reputation of excellence, with only a slightly more generous version! The refried beans were over-pureéd but, flavor was okay...the Spanish arroz was moist and fluffy... read more

Leal's Mexican Restaurant - Had LeAl's Special Beef w Green Sauce...thumbs up! - Mexican Near Me - Clovis, New Mexico

My brother & I ordered the 2 enchiladas 2 tacos combo, chicken enchiladas with green chili & beef tacos. Excellent Had to eat in our car to go due to New Mexico's ridiculous restrictions on seating in restaurants. I hope these restaurants in New Mexico can survive COVID and the stupidity of the current governor. Small businesses like the family owned Mexican restaurants in the state are the ones hurt the most. read more

All I have to say is Amazing !!!!! The brisket or chicken Chile Rellenos are a must!!!! We are visiting from the Fort Worth Tx area and do wish there was a Leal's closer to home :) I just wish I would of taken a picture before we dug in read more

Leal's Mexican Restaurant - Exhibit a - Mexican Near Me - Clovis, New Mexico

Nothing special, service was decent... more "Americanized Authentic" mexican. Service decent, my recommendation is to keep driving and try something else. For the local Caucasian farmhand it's a decent meal for a decent price. Beans tasted like they were canned - typical Tortillas -prepackaged Like I said, there are better options but if you are just looking to pass through and stop, what's more important, locale and ease of in and out or a "good" meal. read more
