“ This place is bigger than seems from the outside with a fairly large, clean seating area. Order at the counter and he brought our food out to us. We got the tamales both the red pork and the green chicken. They were really good, especially the chicken one. Glad we decided to stop here. ”
“ I picked up some pork with red Chile and some green chile chicken tamales for the family. The tamales are just the right balance of masa and meat. You can't go wrong with these tamales. ”
“ I was happy with my food. The meat was nice, the salsa good. But the tamales stole the show. I'd happily return when I'm next around. Even the corn tortillas were great ”
“ Not much on ambiance but thats not what we were looking for, the best Navajo taco and this place has it. I had the ground beef and my husband had the lamb. The fry bread was freshly made and the veggie all fresh. It was more than i could eat. Will definitely revisit on our next trip to Taos. Fast service ”
“ Food was good. Red chili was good and a little Spicy but we both had to add salt to our food. It is a little pricey-- $43 for 3 drinks 2 meals and 2 single tamales. ”
“ What's a hidden gem. The smothered burrito with shredded beef and Christmas chili was incredible. This is going to sound crazy, but the refried beans were perhaps the best part - creamy smooth wonderful flavor. The chilies were both delicious with a hint of spice in each of them. We also had a pork tamale and it was also great. While waiting for our food, two people came in and each ordered two dozen tamales to go. This place is legit - I can't wait to go back on my next trip through Taos. ”
“ Great little hole in the wall. I found them via one of my girls at work. She brought some tacos back for lunch last week, and I had a bite. WOW, what a great taco! We usually do breakfast burritos on Wednesdays and decided to try Leonel's and it was not a mistake. The burrito is a little bit more expensive than Lota burger, but I feel it's worth it. It's a fresh home made tortilla, large pieces of sausage, generous amounts of bacon, etc. that have earned a spot in the lunch and break rotation for the office. ”
“ I loved my meal from Leonel's!! I got takeout, the sopapilla and the Navajo taco. Both were amazing! This was one of my favorite meals in Taos. ”
