Stafford very friendly The food is good and you get your money's worth.
Food was great staff was friendly. Plus affordable!
Enchiladas were good a bit pricey though when I called in a to go order i asked for extra sauce but didn't get it otherwise there Enchiladas and sauce are good.
Food was amazing. Ordered the chilaquiles picantes, chilaquiles mild and the enchiladas verdes. Chilaquiles picantes always great with that nice spiciness to it. The chilaquiles mild were good but the sauce was lacking a bit. The enchiladas verdes tasted really great. Flavor the moment it hits your tounge. The chicken inside was nice and soft, not dry. 10/10 spot for breakfast. Also the prices aren't over the top. They're perfectly priced for the amount you get on a plate.
Food was great, service was excellent this place is super clean I love the chilaquiles 😍..
This place has been, and I feel like it will always be DELICIOUS! No matter it it's lunch,dinner, breakfast,brunch, or whatever the quality of food and service her remains stellar to the T, the customer service is a solid 10 the food is a 10 and the whole atmosphere just feels welcoming. I will continue to come to Cafe Leon for years to come. 100/100
I had lunch today at Cafe Leon and had the fajitas. The video does not do it justice. The caramelized unions gave it the most amazing flavor I've had in a long time. It's under new ownership, and they have made some small changes to the menu but have kept the essence. I'm so glad we stopped here for lunch. I will have to come back for more. It was quick and affordable.
I know a bit heavy on the stars but, please. Our service was excellent and our server, Maria, was very knowledgeable. The food was so good and the portions were filling. Fajitas served up on the hot platter sizzling hot. Literally. Beef Tacos and chicken tacos were delicious as well. The atmosphere is purely authentic "Mexican Eatery" Gotta try out this place if you're in the area. We were in the area We stopped in and enjoyed our meal. 5 Stars guys!!!
I have been here a few times years ago for lunch and remember it being good. For breakfast, it depends on what you order. My son got the chiliquias and thought they were tasty and well seasoned. My carne asada omelette had eggs wrapped around some meat with some cheese on it. Absolutely boring. My omelette would get a two stars but my son thought his chiliquias was worth four stars. We both agreed the potatoes were nothing. They basically throw some potatoes into a fryer and plop them on the plate. The service though was great. The ambiance of the place is fine. Nothing crazy. It is a cafe after all. I may go back at some point for lunch, but I will not be going for breakfast.
Cafe Leon is clean and I was seated right away. It wasn't packed and it was lunchtime. The service was good but I was only given two napkins. My order came pretty quick, I ordered a Chile Colorado omelette they serve breakfast all day. The plate was around $13 but it was small portions for the price. The food was ok didn't really have much flavor. The omelette was kind of gummy. They gave me one tortilla that was small and the salsa was not to flavorful. I also ordered a Chile Colorado burrito to go and that was kind of small for the price and the Chile Colorado didn't have much flavor. The food is okay but not spectacular in my opinion.
This is one of the worst restaurants I've eaten at in Fresno, and I've eaten in dozens over the years. I ordered the Chili Verde and Chili Colorado combo plate. The verde sauce was thin, runny and had no flavor. The pork was overcooked, dry and difficult to chew. The chili Colorado sauce had the consistency of and tasted like beef gravy out of a jar. It was disgustingly awful. The beef was overcooked and hard as leather. I gave up trying to chew it. And they charge for chips and salsa. Tsk, tsk. The service was good though.
The prices are too high and the food is not any different from other places. I ordered seven tacos of carne asada, two horchatas, and a coke. The total was $57.88. There were no chips and salsa before our food was served.
$17.96 for a bowl of Menudo. Mostly homeny, little tripe, and tasted like straight lard. Flem on my lips that won't wash away. Condiments, super small pich of oregano, and super small pinch of chili flakes. Terrible tortillas, 2 lemon slices. Boo to the cook
