They lost my phone call-in order then gave me burned cheese nachos without refried beans. I will dine in next time.

Just ordered flautas, they were more like taquitos, no cheese, no toppings The beef hard tacos had no flavor and the taco shells were stale The chips and salsa were also stale and the salsa has no heat or flavor read more

Leal's Mexican Restaurant - Flautas? - Mexican Near Me - Plainview, Texas

We eat at Leal's weekly & receive great service from Kristen at the bar. She makes sure my order is correct & if not, promptly gets it corrected. Today, I ordered take out using the Toast app & when placing my order, it initially said would be ready in 20 minutes. Once I completed my order, it said it was going to be ready in over an hour. I went into the restaurant about 15 minutes later & inquired on my order & was told the app had been doing the orders with a later request, but she sent my order in & it would be ready soon. I told her if it was going to take an hour, I would cancel it, but she said it would be ready soon. I placed my order at 6:41 and my order wasn't ready until 7:30. This is ridiculous & then when checking my order, it was missing a couple of items. Other were waiting for their to go orders and having the same issue with long wait & having items missing. It's sad that you have to check you order before you leave because over 50% of the time some is missing. Nothing is ever done if you do the Leal's restaurant because it is just a robot type & you get the same return response without seeing corrections being done. read more

Food and atmosphere were fine.But the food tasted like it came from a can I was surprised that the food had absolutely no flavor

our server ghosted us my order was wrong then they brought us cold brisket and the silver wear was dirty

The owners have done a great job bringing the best out of Leals, this is one of my favorite stops any time I'm in Plainview!

Excellent food with a great staff!! The food is really really good and the pride prices are very reasonable also.

Queso thick as paste Food was OKAY?! Cheap items Fajitas- no I am not from the area and wouldn't try them again! read more

Fakest white person Mexican I've ever had the misfortune to taste. Salsa was more like tomato soup than salsa. Tamale tasted like dog food and I spit out the one bite I tried. Flautist weren't bad, nor was the queso but the rest of the food was awful and truly some of the worst Mexican I've ever had. The only bright spot was the margarita which was pretty good. HOWEVER! I'm they fraudulently added extra to the tip (which was already 20 percent) so make sure you watch you bill carefully after eating here. It was a couple dollars more than it should have been so eat here at your own risk. They are a bunch of crooks! read more

We came here on our way through town and ordered Fajitas. When received there was little meat on the fajitas. The chips and salsa was okay and the service was good. I'll try a different place next time because this one was very unremarkable. read more

The Tacos a la Mexicana tortilla were soaked in oil, for absolutely no reason. The tortillas weren't even fried nor crispy, they added oil to the tortillas just because I guess ? There was barely any meat in the tortillas same with tomato and onions that it was supposed to come with . The yellow rice also just tasted like a cheaper version of yellow rice in a bag that you can find at a store , same with the refried beans, tasted like it came from a can but the can at least has some seasoning and flavor . The fries also had no taste at all like not even a tiny bit of salt just nothingness. We ordered orange juice but it was more like water that was colored orange . Wouldn't recommend this place unless you're super drunk or don't care about your taste buds . read more

Absolutely no seasoning. Tea was extremely weak. May as well order water. Queso is just melted Velveeta. Guacamole is just mashed avocado, I would have gotten better at Taco Bell. read more

Decided to try this place today.. the outside definitely doesn't do it justice! It was big, clean and awesome on the inside. I sat at the bar and was promptly greeted by the bartender. She got my chips and guacamole while I ordered. The enchiladas and tacos were absolutely fantastic!! I will be back!! read more

Leal's Mexican Restaurant - a plate of mexican food - Mexican Near Me - Plainview, Texas

I very much enjoyed their authentic dishes. The staff was friendly and efficient. It's an hour drive for me but well worth it. Hoping to have lunch there again tomorrow. Joe M read more

Service was excellent. The food was fancy Taco Bell food. Always on the lookout for new and great Mexican food as I travel across the US. Should have known it'd be like it was once I walked in with a full house of gringos. Overall it's a solid 3.5 star. The ambiance was nice, waitress at every beck and call, with prices to match the quality of food. read more

The best keep secret in Lubbock. Actually, everyone who likes great Mexican food knows about this place! AMAZING food, fast service, and a friendly staff! The only real desision is, what to eat. read more

Leal's Mexican Restaurant - Taco plate! - Mexican Near Me - Plainview, Texas

I was so excited cause we love some Leal's especially in Muleshoe but we was in town and wanted it and wanted to try it but what a joke.... if I'm paying $10 and up per plate that's what I expect is some good food and quality of it. But our fajitas nachos were a joke I mean come on lol no chicken or what so ever we should've got a half price deal on those lol and then the brisket tacos were a joke literally 2 that probably had a spoonful of brisket spread out in them lol.... now the sour cream enchilada plate was the bomb omg so good. The Chiles Rellenos plate was awesome also maybe a little dry but it was still good. Hot sauce was awesome and queso was ok. Out cups stayed dry for a little and chips did too service wasn't great but it wasn't bad. I will wait for awhile to go back that's for a good $50 went to waste God bless was pretty funny huh that people can't have their own opinion without others thinking or feeling they must make fun of them if their opinion isn't the same..... it's ok read more

I have lived in Plainview for about two years now, and am wondering why it took so long for me to try this place out! Plenty of parking because this is in a plaza. Great environment, especially for families! A lot of things to choose from, it looks small on the outside but when you go in, it's actually very big! We came in and got seated immediately, the hostess was great and very attentive. Our server was super sweet, I don't remember her name but she was very helpful with answering questions we had about the menu options. I got a chicken fajita burrito, with beans and cheese. The burrito was about the same size as my plate! And was not expensive at all! Our food was perfect and we will definitely be back here soon. read more

Vicky is the most amazing server ever!!! Super attentive and never let my drink or chips run low. Someone please give her a raise!!!

Pretty good place. Nice spacious atmosphere and clean. Service was adequate and food was hot and delicious. We shared the Deluxe Platter and it was plenty for both of us. I would go back if we pass through here again. read more

We walked in and were asked to wait. There were about 15 empty tables and 6 of the staff were standing around visiting at the front desk. We waited about 20 minutes. The chips were raw. All in all it was not an enjoyable experience. read more

In summary, most everything was average about this place but a solid choice when nothing else is open (like Sunday mornings before noon). The Service: Service was probably the best aspect of my experience here. The waitress was prompt and courteous. The Food: Order: #3 Two Tacos/Two Enchiladas: The food was okay. It definitely has a sense of authenticity and I did eat the entire plate and enjoyed it. Atmosphere: Nothing overly surprising and typical. Some TVs going in the background and in some rooms that seemed more like a 'sports bar' then a family oriented restaurant. It was great to see that the crowd was so diverse for such a small west Texas town. The Price: $$ - A little pricey to be honest. Two platters (that did not already include rice and beans but could be ordered for extra) and 2 teas/sodas were a little over $25 before tip. This averages to more than $13 a meal/person. While some items on the menu were under $10, this did not include drink or sides, so the Yelp price scale is not accurate in my opinion. read more

Leal's Mexican Restaurant - #3 Two Tacos, Two Enchiladas. Added Rice and Beans - Mexican Near Me - Plainview, Texas

Hateful staff. I called to book a reservation for 10-15 people. The person on the phone said "we don't book reservations for parties less than 10." I then explained we would probably have more than 10. She audibly sighed and said "fine let me get my book." She then hatefully asked "are sure it's going to be more than 10?" That's when I said "Nevermind." And hung up. read more

Fresh and good. One of my favorites. I would recommend it. Good chips and guacamole always fresh.

Oh my goodness!! We were in town for a basketball tournament and I'm so glad we gave Leal's a try. The hostess greeted us immediately and was very friendly. Our server, Alicia was attentive, kind, and friendly. I'm pretty picky about Mexican food (El Paso native). The chips are freshly made and delicious. The salsa was so good. I think chips and salsa tells you a lot about a restaurant! I had the Tampico (two enchiladas and a taco) and my husband had the Pollo Cilantro. My food was so good. I chose the green chicken enchiladas and they ridiculously good. The taco was perfect! Another review mentioned beans and rice being not great but mine were very flavorful. Prices were reasonable for sure! Food and service was excellent! Thanks for a great meal Leal's! read more

A great place for meeting friends and family and offer a wide range of Tex-Mex food friendly waiters and staff don't have any complaints If you want Tex-Mex this is the place here in Plainview!! read more

Hostess is a Bitch. Plenty of empty tables and not setting people but griping that there is too many people. In the last 60 days this place is going in the dumps. read more

What a nice place with such nice people. The server named RJ we had was really really nice. We came in on Sunday during a huge rush and they were quick and delicious. We were traveling and saw this place and recognized them from the salsas and chips inside our local grocery stores back home. So we wanted to try the real deal and not disappointed at all! Most definitely recommended! read more

If you are in Plainview for lunch, this is a pretty good bet. It's not 'authentic' Mexican, but it is very tasty. I could eat the chips and salsa all day long then finish it up with a sopapilla. Leal's can get crowded at lunch so I would suggest coming a bit early or a bit late; eaither way, you're sure to find a friendly waiter and some good food. The fajitas are good, but I usually end up with up a enchilada of some kind (gotta order something small for the 8lbs of chips that you'll eat while you wait). read more

Went in for dinner. Sat us down in 10 minutes was about the best thing that happened the night. Waiter walked by after sat down to finally get our drink order next time he came by was to bring food. The food was very cold, wife had nachos and I had enchilada. Hard to mess up but yup it was. Nachos were cold and hard cheese and chips were chewy. Enchiladas were cold and tasted very greasy. When server came by and asked if everything was ok and saw we didn't eat. He said bad? Took out plates and came back with adjusted bill for 2 cokes? Well we did drink them so we didn't make a big deal but a visit from manager would have been more professional and show that they care about their business and customers read more

Food was ehhhh..... salsa was ok, a bit salty. The Chile rellenos are not like the usual. They are covered with melted cheese and the filling is yellow cheese. Asked for green chicken enchiladas and received chicken enchilada with yellow melted cheese over it. Tacos was a basic as can be. The Shell tasted stale. Chicken w/Cilantro was ok. Staff was great and friendly. read more

Leal's Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Plainview, Texas

I eat at the Muleshoe Leal's all the time when I am there. It's great! So I assumed this Leal's would be just as great! It's not! The service was dry to say the least. We would tell our server thank you on many occasions and never got a response from her, almost felt like she didn't wanna be there. We ordered the enchiladas since it was the lunch special. Tortillas were hard, sauce tasted like it was from a can. Rice tasted like it wasn't cooked al the way through. And the chips and salsa, complete disappointment. Tasted like pace picante and the chips were cold. I won't be. Ack to this location. read more

I cannot find a great Mexican food restaurant in Plainview. I keep looking and thought this would be it The service was slow and almost unacceptable. The drinks were small for the price. The chips were stale. The crispy chili rejeno was average at best. The servings were small. There has got to be a better place in this town. I will keep looking. read more

I live in Arizona and was in town to see a friend.. Arizona is known for its mexican food so I thought id try Leals and see how it compares. This place is AMAZING. Great service and delicious food. I spoke to the GM ( I think her name was Laura) and she was so genuinely nice. Highly suggest this place!! read more

I just got hired on as a dish washer and very surprised how much dishes I have to do every night, it's a pretty sanitary place. If you ask me check and see for yourself the process. read more

The food taste great if it came to the table hot!!! Young waitress do not leave good impressions when they let food sit there and get cold. Even the appetizer came to the table cold. Know the menu you are serving from before you go to a table and ask what people want if you can't answer questions about the food. Had to wait 10 minutes for a drink refill after asking. Sad part is we got there before the dinner rush even started. I may give it a second chance if I don't get the same waitress. read more
