    Great experience. We were greeted by our very friendly server, Fidel. I enjoyed a blood orange margarita. The chips and 3 salsa was well worth the $5. The chicken poblano torta and the Mexico City torta were very good. I would recommend this restaurant.

    Started off that I was late to my reservation. Being such I received a call from the Hostess to confirm if we were still coming. She was very nice a professional over the phone. All others in my party arrived before me so upon my arrival I was nicely greeted by the server and she quickly got me up to speed. She was helpful with the menu and got us all settled in. Food was excellent (Carnitas tacos with black beans) and my Cadillac Margarita was very refreshing after a long day. The restaurant was lively and I can say that I really enjoyed myself.

    This was our first time trying Leoncito and we really enjoyed it! I recommend trying La Sirena or the Paloma to start with drinks. Our server was awesome and made great recommendations for food. We ordered the carnitas burrito, Baja fish and barbacoa tacos, and street corn with chips and salsa. The flavors were delicious and not overdone at all, and the red salsa was actually the star of the table! The entire staff was so nice and made getting our food and clearing our table so easy. What a great spot for our date nights!
