2023-08-13 00:33:13They have been improving a lot. I live in San Bruno and we need a good Taqueria, and this place has now earned a good position 💪💪The taco al pastor is very good and very filling. I usually buy one and buy an extra set of tortillas and divided into two. And then I get pupusas because they make them fresh right there.They usually have three choices of fresh, including Jamaica and Horchata.The only thing missing is a salsa bar but people mess those up so easily that it might be better not to have one.On the weekend it has a festive atmosphere that definitely reminds me of walking around some of the towns around Cancun.Parking can be sometimes a little tricky but downtown San Bruno during the week is usually pretty easy.The chips are perfect and fresh.I usually ask for a side of tomatillo sauce for the chips.

2023-09-25 02:49:08I was walking down the avenue and twelve clay pots over burners on the patio caught my eye. Today I was determined to get seafood, but as I walked by I was drawn in by the certain variety of choices and seeing the ladies cooking fresh tortillas right there. I looked at everything and decided on three tacos. One pinto bean and cactus, one shredded chicken and one pumpkin flower. I also had freshly made melon juice, or rather agua de melon. The music is a driving techno ranchera as close as I can describe, the staff is friendly and upbeat. The tortilla lady works the masa with the beat. Cooks dancing while they cook, customers bopping to the beat, waitresses lip synch and strut around. It’s just a Sunday afternoon @ Taqueria Leon on “the avenue “. Everything was exquisite and it was a very pleasurable and satisfying meal.

2023-08-14 02:24:56The decor was legit. Service was quick ordered over the phone. Had my doubts with regards to the pupusas as I thought it would be not made the salvadorian way. Boy was I wrong ! These pupusas are sooo delicious the chiccharon\ pork was sooooo delicious. The cheese I wonder if it was quesillo or oxaca but man was it good.The horchata wasnt Salvadorian rather it was Mexican but still it was sooooo good! The pupusa maker is from Santa Ana shes so nice and humble.No extra salt needed. The tomato sauce is a bit spicy the curtido is Soo good!

2024-05-29 01:50:55First time ordering from this place, and its a disappointment. I ordered 2 shrimp quesadilla, 1 shrimp burrito, and the quesadilla looks more like a burrito instead of quesadilla. The taste was blended, without any flavors. Never again, thats for sure. Im just going to have to drive down to the San Francisco Mission district.

2024-04-19 03:30:28Overall the food was bland and the service was poor. They were all very nice but there were communication issues. I was charged $10 extra because of it and I didnt get what they charged me for. So it was much more expensive than what it was worth.

2024-04-11 09:20:25I don’t know who mess with my order either way the cashier or the cook but is very disrespectful that they don’t pay attention, I ask for enchiladas verdes and I had extra dried enchiladas rojas, then I asked for asada nachos and I got pastor pork, sunny side up eggs and gave me over cook scrambled eggs.

2022-01-10 02:14:57Really good burritos. Very large and filling. The take out bag was very heavy. I feel i got my money worth. They were busy but it was worth it. Thanks

2022-03-01 22:38:43Authentic cantina style atmosphere with an outside patio. Al pastor regular tacos were some of the best Ive had in the area, tortillas grilled rather than steamed, marinated just right. I will be back to try their Sopes y Papupsas 😁🌮

2021-07-17 04:50:061st time here after a nice long day at a water park near by and the food was great, the lady taking our order was efficient and funny helping us decide what to get an from then on it was a great experience with the food being off the top excellent. Had a great time as well as experience overall out of 5 Id say it was double that..
