    Finished plate, it was so good!
    Jennica C.

    We are on our way out of TX to move up north and decided to get our last bit of Mexican food before we have none for a long while. I was hesitant to get Mexican food in this city, but we were definitely not disappointed! I ordered the chicken fajita chimichanga and added chili con carne sauce on top, my husband had the Leal Special. We both thoroughly enjoyed our dish and it definitely hit the spot! This is a must stop if you are driving through the town. Service was spectacular and quick! We got our food within 10 minutes of ordering. In and out of the restaurant in about 35 minutes! Everyone was very friendly and a great stop on our road trip!

    Chips, salsa and sweet tea to start things off!

    Driving through Muleshoe, it looked like the whole town was eating here! So we decided to give it a go. When you walk in all the aromas hit you and you know it gonna be good. I had Irma's Special; chile relleno, beef taco, chicken enchilada with beans and rice. Everything was seasoned perfectly!! Not too hot, just enough to sniff a little! LOL! My husband devoured his carne guisada before I could take a photo. On our next trip from Albuquerque to Abilene we will make time to stop in.

    We always enjoy Leal's! We always happy to stop on our trip to Colorado. We believe one of the keys to a delicious plate of food is when it is served hot. And it is! It seems they warm their plates before plating the food. Really enjoyed our stop. Thanks Leal's!

    I really do like the food here, all of the entrees are just great from the naked rellonos stuffed with shrimp, bacon and fajita meat to the grilled chicken plates that are just really good. The staff is always friendly and accommodating and the climate is nice and cool in the summer and toasty in the winter. The only thing that has always bothered me is the ridiculously small restroom that is never really clean and forget about a finding a paper towel that isn't already wet because it just sits out by the roll (not in the dispenser) wherever you can find a place to put it. Seriously you have to move the trash can to sit on the commode, it's pretty much about the size of a small RV restroom. You know it just simply would not take a lot of money to make the small restroom acceptable I didn't say accessible that isn't happening. Anyway the food is great right? I'm not even going to give the soap dispenser a comment the picture says it all. I'll be back just for the cheese dip though.

    I got stuck in town overnight in my big rig and asked a couple locals where to eat and they directed me here. The parking lot alone made the trip worth while in my truck, but the real treat was waiting inside. A warm and cozy atmosphere greeted me along with the warm smile of the hostess. The menu is extensive with tons of authentic cuisine and the waitress was incredibly helpful when I asked for recommendations. Not wanting to waste my opportunity, I chose an appetizer as well as my entree and brought half of each home in a Togo container. Absolutely a great place for locals and definitely recommend visiting if you're in the area on business or for pleasure.

    It doesn't get any better than this! I highly suggest the stuffed avocado! But EVERYTHING is good. Don't forget to grab a sopapilla for dessert! You won't regret it!

    For this place to only have one review is a crime. Whether you are passing through or stuck in Muleshoe, this is the one place I have consistently enjoyed in the area. A little bit of history: this is the original Leal's - which is a west Texas stable of Tex Mex. There are other locations (I ate at the Clovis one last week too) but this is hole-in-the-wall greatness. Their chips are thick corn and the salsa is more red tomato than spicy peppers. Add some seasoning on the chips - it's on the table. I think I eat three bowls of the chips by myself everytime I go. Lots of typical Tex-Mex fair... I usually get the enchiladas, but I have never eaten with anyone who complained about the meal. No, it is not going to help you keep your diet, but there is a reason why they classify it as "comfort food."

    The sizzling fajitas for one were more than enough and were amazing. Came to the table smoking hot. Super delicious. So glad we stopped.

    Tacos Garcia was suggested to me by a local coworker. Our hotel was fairly close by so, why not? We…read morearrived around 7:30 and were promptly seated. We were brought individual flights of salsa to go with the chips. My michelada hit the spot. Was it the best? No. But it scratched the itch. I couldn't decide on what to eat. Until I saw green chili stew and asado. I moved away from Midland in 2015. You don't really find asado away from West Texas. The music wasn't too loud and the lighting wasn't too bright or too dim. Overall, we enjoyed our meals. I'll likely stop back in the next time I'm in town.

    We dined on Sunday, March 9 at around 1 to 2 PM. We had to wait 10 minutes for a tiny little table…read morewhen they weren't busy. We ordered queso and they brought us a little cup because they were out and said they weren't going to charge us for it. We ordered our food and it took forever to get to our table and both of our dishes were cold. We advised the manager that it was taking a long time and she said fish tacos do take a while, but they were also cold. When I told her my food was cold, she took my plate and said I guess you want me to take this from you, asked my friend how her food was. My friend said OK but my tacos are cold and she said she'll comp her meal and then I was brought a ticket for just drinks. No offer to fix anything or get us hot food. The waitress even said they put the avocado on the wrong plate but didn't offer to fix it. I will not go back
