My life right now is basically driving all over the southwestern United States on a relentless…read moresearch for the perfect enchilada, preferably at lunch and for under $10. Stumbling across this place in Tucson was an absolute highlight. It is an exceptional example of what old-school, no-fuss Mexican food should be. You get a really bright, strong red chile, and their salsa has a distinct touch of oregano in it that makes it uniquely bright and interesting. The chips are great, and both the rice and beans easily hold their own. There's hardly ever a long wait, and it's just such a low-key, unpretentious spot that you can't help but fall in love with it. I live in Austin now, but I genuinely wish I could eat here way more often. A total hidden gem!

It was very good and we both enjoyed it. Service here is also good, attentive, and nice. Ambience here they have a lot of tables and chairs, booth tables and also has a bar place and got some alcohol drinks as well. Will be coming back and try other stuff on the menu for sure.

It's colorful, and welcoming. The service was quick and friendly. Of course the chips and homemade salsa were on the table as we sat down. Our waitress was happy to take our order and she was able to make helpful suggestions about the menu. I had the Burro Deluxe and I was overwhelmed by the size of it. The burro was covered in cheese sauce and it was literally bigger than my shoes! The photo doesn't do it justice. I managed to eat 1/3 of it and the waitstaff graciously provided to go boxes to allow me to eat it for the rest of the week!!! It was great fun looking at the celebrity photos and watching all the massive food plates being delivered. Truly a great experience and glad I returned to Mi Nidito! I will be back soon.

Let's first go over what makes great Carne Asada. 1. Flavorful 2. Juicy 3. Good cut(minimal to no grisle, bone, not flat/thin cut and not diced into kibble) 4. Tender Juanito's had some flavor, but it was VERY dry and tough and had far too much grisle. I just didn't like it at all. I had to force my way through it it was so dry, I dislike dry meat. I want to try a different meat, maybe it'll gain a star there, but for the Carne Asada? Hard pass. The service wasn't great either.

The red…read morechili pork is tender and not at all spicy, it lacks a little seasoning but the red salsa cured that. The machca potato breakfast burrito was by far the best machaca I've ever eaten. An excellent balance of machaca to potato. Most places stuff burritos with potatoes and little meat to offset cost. What's cookin' just gets the balance perfectly. All in all ANOTHER excellent meal!

The entire bottom of the burrito was a solid piece of chicken, DRY chicken and the sour cream was a glob right in the middle, nowhere else. For 11+ dollars, they need to do better.

Once he decided to retire as chef, we made the rounds of various good Mexican restaurants over time. I originally found Leo's when I was on my own one Xmas Eve and open restaurants were thin on the ground. I've never looked back and I've only been disappointed when that night fell on one of the days that they're closed. Leo's is in my top 3 Mexican restaurants in Tucson. The atmosphere is colorful & cozy and the service is attentive - even personal once you've been a few times. My most favorite meal is Mole de Gallina (poached chicken breast in cocoa/red sauce). I really love Mole sauce and Leo absolutely nails the rich flavor. Carne seca, carne asada, chile rellenos, tamales, crisp tacos, enchiladas, calabacitas, rice, beans, chips with spicy/tasty salsa - everything I've had over the years has been ridiculously good. The cheese crisps with green chiles are *chef's kiss*. Accompanied by a choice of NA beers and topped off by flan or a sopapilla, you can't go wrong at Leo's! Highly Recommend!

They have their own parking which is a plus for a place downtown. Our waiter was incredibly nice. To start you get complimentary warm tortilla chips with salsa. We ordered sopa de tortilla, carne asada tacos and a ground beef burrito. The soup was pretty good, I loved how they added chunks of avocado to it. My tacos were not good. They don't have flour tortillas small enough for tacos so corn tortillas are your only option. The beef was chopped into small pieces that were tough and dry. The quality of meat wasn't very good. The beef burrito was wrapped in a gigantic tortilla but tasted fine.
