    Breakfast burrito
    Kate K.

    I've been hearing about their morning breakfast burrito special forever and finally found myself in the area at the right time to try it out. It is a good deal, for sure, but the burrito itself was kind of meh. The potatoes needed some crunch and seasoning. If your main consideration is cost, they've got you covered. Cash or zelle only.

    California Burrito
    Claudia R.

    This was my first time trying a California Burrito because I'm from El Monte; therefore, I have nothing to compare it to. It made me forget all my worries while I was eating it. I had it with lime, red and green salsas.

    Asada, carnitas and Al pastor
    Sovannie E.

    Was looking for a taco Tuesday spot that won't drain our pockets and found this place. When we got there, there was only one person inside. So customer service was quick. They only accept Zelle and cash at the moment. We went for their taco Tuesday menu, tacos were about 1.75 per taco. I forgot to take a picture of the menu :( we got 6 tacos total, asada, Al pastor and carnitas. And they were so good ! Have not found tacos like these in a while. I definitely want to come back. They have an open salsa bar too!

    carne asada Burritos
    Robin A.

    Always drive past this and finally made a stop tonight. This being around the corner was convenient, just parking is terrible but that's long beach so that's expected lol. I called in for a carne asada burrito and was told it'd be ready in 10min. Perfect, i arrived and food was ready. It's cash or zelle only! I love when you order a burrito & they're actually decently sized! Chips came included and salsas you pour yourself. Overall was decently priced and did not disappointment :)

    The 8th and Magnolia location is on point. Nice and clean. Hot fresh food. If you are in search of good and authentic Mexican food, then look no further. Friendly service and atmosphere.

    Chicken Tacos
    Amber R.

    I went here for lunch when they were having a special and ordered four chicken tacos. The chicken and tortilla shells were very dry and the presentation was not that great. The service was good, everyone was very nice. The restaurant ambiance was ok. Just disappointed in the food.

    Chicken Crispy Taco
    Kenya S.

    These use to be really really good. I have been eating at this place since moving to Long Beach in 2020 since I live 2 blocks from them. And the chicken crispy taco is/was my favorite. They aren't even crispy anymore. They fall apart and the meat isn't juicy like before. They taste old like they have them pre-cooked and sitting around waiting to be ordered. I'm disappointed.

    Nachos!
    Rick H.

    If I'm eating Mexican fare, I want it authentic, not some Americanized chain. So when I saw local workers lining up in Leo's, I knew I had to try it. The restaurant is clean and pleasantly dated, with a heavy wood counter, wood chairs and tables. The service is immediate and friendly. I was craving nachos, so I got an order with Carne asada. I've never had nachos this good. The chips and guacamole are made in house, and they're amazing. My dish had beans, peppers, onion, sour cream and plenty of tender Carne asada. The portion was huge! There is also a nice salsa bar with fresh, house-made salsas, onion, carrot, jalapeño, cilantro and limes. Everything you need to make awesome nachos out of this world! If you want authentic Mexican food, you absolutely must try Leo's!

    NEVER ORDER FROM HERE! Ordered and picked up lunch for work crew, and received the incorrect order and was refused refund or corrected order. I was charged for $14 burritos when i ordered $4 tacos. They refused to refund or corrected order my order and I eventually had to leave with the wrong food and being incredibly overcharged. I only gave one star so I was able to post review. It would be 0 if I could ABSOLUTELY AVOID LEO's

    Food is decent! Had a California burrito... I'll be back! I did have a problem placing a phone order (they don't answer the phone), but I'll still be back.

    The location off Magnolia only has street parking, which at certain times of the day can be difficult to navigate.

It's normally taco Tuesday or dinner. It wasn't busy when we arrived. Mainly everyone was seated outside which we wanted a table as well. There was one that we were interested in and asked if we could have it which the waitress working was ok with. But it needed clearing up. It took a while for someone to come out and clear and clean the table up. It was fine waiting but it was like did someone forget about us. Anyways. We got seated and then the waiting continued. It could be that they were short staff but it seemed like there was only one person working. It took a while for someone to finally come back and acknowledge us and take our order. After that the chips and salsa were brought out. Once we ordered the drinks it was easier to place everything together. Menu for happy hour is pretty limited. A few drinks and beer on drafts and for food, maybe 6 items on the menu. Went with an order of the street corn which was quite tasty. An order of the mole chicken nachos and the queso dip with barria. Out of the three, the queso dips and the street corn were great. Nachos were good but nothing really major. The flavors of everything were quite tasty. Dishes were 12.00 an item. For happy hour, it was decent and what we had was good. The service was pretty slow at the beginning. Only the front patio and inside seating was available as the back patio wasn't open. We did start to see other staff walking in so maybe there was only one staff during the time.

Seeing people going in and out which I knew it was a restaurant. Last night we started off with drinks at the speakeasy next door. The two places share restrooms and that's how I found out about this place. Let me say it was a vibe. The first thing you notice from the back, the bar area and Photo Booth. And the live DJ keeping the place on its feet. We ended up wanted to check it out as it was a full restaurant and bar. Friday night without a reservation, spoke with hostess which they could accommodate 6 of us in a bit. Still had to close out at the other place before. The restaurant has a cool vibe with the main dining area in front, bar area towards the back side and on the opposite site is where the DJ booth was. Sam was our waitress who took very good care of us. Very sweet, friendly and of course attentive. Made sure that we were well taken cared of and if anything was needed she was there. It's a cool Mexican restaurant with a cool vibe to match. The place did get lively and was pretty full. You had parties up and dancing and enjoying themselves. Anyway, food and drinks. Started off with some spicy margaritas. Wow, they were strong but good. You had to sip versus drink... lol... Bartender was not playing and in a good way. The menu is somewhat limited compared to other restaurants but what was offered all looked amazing. A modern twist to Mexican food but still with the amazing authentic flavors. Instead of a meal we opted for à la carte and shared everything. Also was informed that the dishes are like tapas and great for sharing. Chips and salsa were brought out which both the chips and salsa were excellent. An order or the aguachille which had that nice sour taste with the lime juice perfectly balanced for the shrimp and trimmings. Served with tostada. The shrimp ceviche, another wonderful dish. Nicely marinaded in the lime juice was very flavorful and also served with tostada. An order of the enchiladas, came with three but we split it for 6 of us. The cheese and filling was very good. The molcajete served in a volcanic bowl stuffed with different meat, cactus, cheese all combined to create an amazing dish full of flavors. A must have and lastly the adobado hamachi collar, yellowtail. Very tasty but did have a fishy taste. Yes it's fish but still. Quite tasty and plentiful. Overall food and vibe was great. The place was definitely lively in the evening. We can finally say we've been and tried some amazing dish. It's a place that worth coming back for more. Parking is a little crazy as residential is always packed. There's a lot across the street which they do utilize but it's can be a bit crowded as well.

Usually for brunch time on the weekend. The first time I've ever had a Tlayuada was here a while back and have always enjoyed it. I was actually craving some since it's been likely over a year since we last visited. The hubby had 2 tacos plates. The birria was very good, the asaea delicious but very rich. I've never been a fan of black beans but these were tasty. My Tlayuada hit the spot and chase it down with a Penelope. When we arrived we were the only ones there. The server was attentive and check on us throughout our visit. Engaging and friendly. The interiors are cost and warm with plants and green as the main color. Nice murals throughout.
