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."

Stuffed avacado! Wow, great food, great service and excellent prices! My only complaint, x-dry county and still no alcohol. :-)

We received a recommendation from Mike from the Sunset Motel. He told us Del's was a great place…read morefor dinner and cocktails. He explained the restaurant served New Mexico liquor that tasted like regular liquor. So we found the restaurant in Tucumcari, NM. We got there at 6:15 and we should have arrived at 5:00. There was a wall of people waiting to be seated. We received a beeper that would tell us when we could be seated. We waited for 45 minutes and the four of us we were seated at a round table in the bar. Our servers name was Corina, she was amazing, she was the bar tender for the entire restaurant and was the server for 4 tables in the bar. She took our order for drinks and our appetizer and entrees. We all wanted the fried Catfish, however we found out they were completely out of it! And Friday they would have a shipment. My husband and I ordered the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. My husband ordered the baked potato with coleslaw . Our friends ordered the same. The meatloaf was delicious and the sides were tasty. We really enjoyed the quiet setting in the bar. There were lots of tables toward the entrance, and the people waiting for a table spilled out by the diners. So we were happy to sit in the bar where it was quiet and more intimate. We were so happy with our food and drinks we decided to go back the next day. So we arrived at 4:45 and requested the bar. We were served by Toni, she was a kick! We loved her sense of humor and her service. We had another wonderful meal. We wanted to reorder the meatloaf because it was sooo good. Unfortunately they were out of it! So we had catfish which was good. Toni made the best martini's using all distilled liquor from New Mexico . They don't have a regular liquor license which is extremely expensive in NM. The martini's were delicious, Toni knows how to make great Martin's. We highly recommend this restaurant, get there early wait times can be 45 minutes to an hour!

Stopped in this landmark spot for a bite to eat while in town visiting. Del's has been on the route…read more66 map for decades. Still has its traditional roadside interior, heavy wooden, kitschy, tourist destination vibe. We were greeted walking in and seated promptly. The hostess brought menus with her. We sat in the bar area the evening of out donner there. Our server was funny, upbeat and kind. She made our meal there enjoyable. A varied menu with a little bit of everything on it for all kinds of taste buds. After giving the menu a good look, I opted for their Chili Relenos with Hatch chilis. A nice serving with a pair of well prepared chilis, rice and beans with some diced tomato and lettuce. It was a good meal, the rellenos were done well, nice cheese stuffed, breaded and fried near perfect. All in all a good meal 4 Stars a solid choice in a town with limited options 01321
