Love LOVE love Leal's Mexican Food! The chips are great with the special seasoning to sprinkle on top, and then with their delicious salsa....well they are absolutely addicting!! My favorite meal is the Leal's special. The food is always delicious, hot, and served with a special side of excellent service. Have been eating at Leal's for several decades and have never had a bad meal there. My best recommendation is to make sure you stop when passing through a city that has one of their family owned restaurants. I know you will be happy that you did. Oh yea, the tortillas and chips are made by them too, never ordered in from a different factory! Best Mexican food I've had and my family loves it too!! read more

Nice family owned restaurant! Good food and a friendly atmosphere. Will be back for some more breakfast tacos.

Overpriced but excellent food. I bought breakfast burritos for my employees and it cost over $100. Just for eggs and bacon. This was a year ago, so hopefully the price is more reasonable. read more

Leal's Mexican Restaurant - Order counter - Mexican Near Me - Woodway, Texas

Food was so good, unfortunately I was so hungry that I didn't get a pic. We got the huevos con chorizo and potatoes. The plate was really big and filling. I wasn't able to finish it but I will later on! Worth the stop. read more

The staff is so sweet and hardworking, always on top of their orders. They have so much variety in the menu, willing to make anything. Cesar is an amazing owner and such a friendly man! The atmosphere is very welcoming. read more

Consistently good and the people are nice. It's pretty good to go in there and chat with the staff.

$24 for two small lukewarm burritos. One was supposed to be Chorizo, was just unflavored ground beef for some reason. Both had unmelted cold shredded cheese in it. They also weren't wrapped as more as they were just folded in half so everything was spilled out. And the salsa tastes like pizza sauce. read more

I paid $11.67 for a "burrito" to be lukewarm/cold. Not sure it was worth the money. read more

Leal's Mexican Restaurant - "burrito" - Mexican Near Me - Woodway, Texas

The burritos are getting more expensive which is fine but they're getting smaller in size ... the food tastes good just wish I got my moneys worth read more

So good! Owner is friendly and makes sure everyone feels welcome. My family is new to Waco and we have been hunting for a fave Mexican restaurant that is "Arizona style" and this is our top pick for good, local, casual dining. Good to note they are CLOSED Sunday & Monday, they will not answer if you call for to-go order, they do have a drive thru, and even when busy it moves pretty quickly. read more

See all

Great food. I love their spicy orange salsa/sauce. I dont know exactly what it is, but I love it on everything.

Saw the Yelp reviews and felt this establishment warranted a visit... ordered a sausage breakfast burrito with eggs, potatoes, and cheese.. What I got... some type of meat which I think was chili, three small pieces of potatoes and beans... No where near what I ordered... I was already at my work destination when I opened it and although it smelled good... I am not a chili fan Major let down read more

We visited Leal's for the first time today. We opted for the drive thru which we thought would go quickly, but was woefully slow although we weren't really in a rush so it was okay. We had a fairly complex order of different kinds of breakfast tacos and they got the order PERFECT which was honestly impressive. The tacos were on the smaller side - I easy ate 3 - but did have a descent amount of filling. I got potato, egg, and bean and felt like the fillings lacked some seasoning. However, both the salsa rojo and the salsa verde were WONDERFUL so with salsa on the tacos they were much improved in the flavor department. Overall, not mind-blowingly delicious, but solid breakfast tacos. read more

Excellent food, service and prices. The staff is family owned and very friendly. One of my favorite places!

I am in love with this place! The food has the perfect amount of spice and they have the best breakfast burritos. This is such a great spot to eat. I recently started getting them delivered to me at the office and at home. I use Waitr and they have several coupon codes right now: Local5 for 5.00 off and then Sorry20 which takes 20% off your entire order! Nothing beats eating amazing food in the comfort of your home! read more

Best authentic Mexican breakfast and lunch in town, hands-down. Free chips and salsa. Locally owned and operated, Tell Cesar that you want to order off the menu and that you want the Gringo Mateo Price plate, it's the best. read more

Love the breakfast burritos and red salsa! So delicious! The staff have always been kind and friendly

Been a fan of Leals for a couple of decades. From huevos Rancheros to their burritos. It is good stuff. Over time the prices have crept up for the loyal fans are still swarming here. Pity it is further away from where I live. read more

Best breakfast burritos hands down! Typically order at least 1x a week. It's so good! And very friendly staff!

Family run, great place. Everything here is yummy. The first time I came here, my dad was in the hospital having an emergency triple bypass after a heart attack. I was looking for comfort food for my family. Cue breakfast tacos from this little place. We were consoled, downing these in the hospital waiting room with hours ahead and behind us of waiting... I've since been back for lunch tacos and then cheese enchiladas. All are good. Their green sauce is also really good. Don't forget to ask for it from one if the sweet ladies walking around! read more

The food for a good while is not the same as it was when the owner was more visible there. The salsa is not the same as it was. The service is ok, but it use to be more friendly and more like it was family. Now it seems to be order your food, eat it, and then leave. I noticed also the parking lot was full most times but not now. I wish Mr Leal was present more and make his empire he built years ago the same greaness it use to be today. read more

This is my favorite lunch spot in all of Waco. Very local, very warm and friendly and the food is amazing and affordable.

This is best breakfast burrito in texas! I will stand by that. Bean, bacon, cheese, and potatoes brings that BoomShak! Great Tortillas

Amazing breakfast burritos!!!! Local favorite every time I visit mom an dad. My dad loves the menudo and the rest of my family and I love the burritos and they have good salsa and verde! It's a favorite for life! read more

Thought I'd try this place because of the reviews. The burritos are not burritos. They are the same size as a taco. The potatoes weren't fully cooked. I wasn't happy with what I ordered. I won't be going back. read more

Ahh Leal's! Had I reviewed you before spending the better part of the last 10 years in Austin you would have gotten 5 or 10 stars but I have one complaint and it knocks you down a peg. THE TORTILLAS!!! Come on! You guys have the best breakfast burritos and green salsa in all of Waco. Stop putting all of your deliciousness on store bought cold flour tortillas. If you put these on home made tortillas you would take these things to a whole nother level. This is still the best breakfast you can get in Waco so I don't want anyone to think that you shouldn't go here because you should. In fact you are doing yourself a major disservice by not eating here. read more

I've been coming here since it was called Taco Rico! Ideven remember what year that was but it all started when me and some of my friends were dropped off here before school started (6th-8th grade) across the street...the owner Cesar Leal is one of the greatest guys there is. He's always genuinely happy to see you and welcoming! The breakfast burritos are crazy good and filling, for lunch you have to tackle the Chili topper! Everything is done well here and feels like home. Note: I graduated HS in 98, since I started coming in like 6th grade that makes 15yrs of awesome!!! read more

Favorite breakfast hot spot in Waco. I live in Nashville, but love coming back to Leal's whenever I get to go home. Authentic, flavorful, piping hot Mexican breakfasts--the burrito is my favorite!! My dad always gets the huevos rancheros and loves them. Fabulous service, great flavors, fresh tortillas, hot coffee, plenty of parking... can't ask for more. read more

Loved the breakfast burritos. We decided to try it one morning because it has a drive-thru. I wasn't expecting much, but we were blown away. Loved the bacon, sausage, egg, & potato. We haven't tried to lunch menu to comment on, but we will definitely be going back for breakfast! read more

Can I have my money back? This was such a disappointment. I ordered a large burrito and it was bland and the salsa smelled rancid. The person helping take the order was also not friendly. I ended up throwing it away. Waste of my money. read more

My favorite breakfast burrito in Waco. The salsa is just my kind of flavor not loaded with seeds. The homemade tortillas are spot on. The staff are always smiling and fun to chat with too. read more

Best breakfast burrito north of the Rio grande. Egg cheese bacon potatoes and beans is my go to. If we are within an hour of Leals we will make the trip for breakfast. read more

This is nice locally owned restaurant with character and good service! The burritos were good. It is a nice place to eat! read more

Leal's Mexican Restaurant - Me and Dad on our journey of trying every breakfast place in Waco! Waco here we come!!! - Mexican Near Me - Woodway, Texas

All you have to do is smell the fresh cooked breakfast going in the morning and your vehicle will find its way there! Great food and service. Great price as well. read more

Love the food. don't like the set up. you can't see the menu until you get to the counter to order. there's always a ton of people and the people behind don't want to wait while you decide. You can't even look online for the menu. It's wait till you get up to the counter and make everyone else mad or just order enchiladas read more

Leal's is an unassuming Mexican family restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch, Monday through Saturday. I enjoyed their enchiladas. A little disappointed with her burrito, my wife wished she had gone for more ingredients. read more

I've been going there since I was a kid and now I've got my husband hooked to it too we love to wet burritos and the people are great and really nice and the prices are good too read more

We tried Leal's about a year ago. The breakfast burritos are really good! You can tell the staff. Really puts there heart into the food!

Cesar and his crew always cook up something great! The friendliest people, great food, and good prices. What else could you ask for?

I would give no stars for the rude lady at the counter that took our order. She told my friend and I that our credit cards would be charged a 30 cent service charge then she said that our credit cards were declined. BOTH OF THEM? we knew this was not true and the credit card co confirmed both our cards were in good standing when we called to check. This was the worst customer service I have experienced in waco. When leaving I approached her at the counter to ask for a to go cup and expected her to try and charge me for another drink. Instead she just continued with her very poor customer service by never looking up or speaking because she was too busy counting her tips out loud. Can't imagine who would tip her. Maybe the tips were meant for the 2 men who serviced our table of 6 and very polite She could learn something from them. I will never go back there and will let others know due to her ignorance alone. read more
