    Carne Asada platter
    Sean A.

    Great service and good food! I had the carne asada with rice and beans. Served hot and fresh! The staff is amazing! Good people!

    Salsa bar

    They had everything decorated for Cino De Mayo. It was so cute and inviting. It was a bit cold in there definitely needed a jacket. We stopped in here for breakfast after work to celebrate the holiday. They are open 24 hours so it's nice to have access to something other than fast food. I got the chorizo and eggs with rice, beans and corn tortillas. The beans and rice lacked flavor but with a little salsa or added into the taco they weren't too bad. I love the salsa bar. They have mild, med and hot. The hot had a great flavor and not too spicy. They also have limes, carrots and jalapeños on the salsa bar which was nice. Food overall was good and will definitely return.

    Taco de lengua y burrito vaquero
    Emm M.

    This is a very good Mexican restaurant. They have a big menu and they are open 24/7 at their drive through. I got one taco de lengua and a burrito vaquero. The burrito was great. The taco was amazing. I've never had lengua that good. It tasted just like steak! Fast service and a friendly staff. If you like Mexican food, check this place out!

    When I tell you, this food is on point I'm not joking about what I'm saying a 24 hour food spot with very good food and low prices

    The food is good here no matter what time it is when I get to order. They are one of the few places left around Indy that still has 24/7 service. I'm an Uber driver, so finding places to eat with a restroom that's open is becoming harder to do around Indy. This place is always fire no matter how late it is and they make everything fresh to order. Normally, I only get to use the drive through; however, today I got to dine-in. They had a tv with some sports on in Spanish. It was October when I visited, so they had the Dia de Muerto and Halloween decorations put up. Super cute! I love that they have a mini-salsa-buffet available for dine-in guests. Refill your own cups with the Coke machine. The have a cool little old school coin candy dispenser and high chairs available for the little ones. Every taco spot is a little different. Their corn traditional tortillas are a bit different than the taco trucks on the westside. They only give you one shell per taco (unlike most traditional locally owned taco trucks that I'm used to). They are a little thicker, so one is plenty if you know how to eat them. I like to use the taco filling with the rice and beans.

    We followed a group of workman in thinking it would be good. The parking lot had pot holes as big as Texas. The side door glass was broken with a sign "don't use this door". The dining room is as vintage 1970 decorated with Mexican and Christmas paper decorations. A tinsel sled turned on the ceiling fan. A caution wet floor cone sat on the drink fountain stand. There was a space heater in the dining room. Menu was on the wall and you order at the counter. The clerks are friendly and efficient. The food was disappointing. Very greasy. The chips must have been fried in old oil. They were awful. My first bite of chicken enchilada was full of gristle. The taco also greasy. I couldn't eat my meal. There is a salsa bar with mild medium and hot salsas. I give them points for fresh lime and pickled peppers. Leonardo's needs some work.

    The nachos consisted of steak, guacamole, refried beans, Pico, sour cream, cheese and chips.

    What a great place!!! The staff was very friendly and engaging and the natchos were perfect. Their salsa bar is still closed but they were generous in handing them out. The dining room is open now. The nachos consisted of steak, guacamole, refried beans, Pico, sour cream, shredded cheese and chips. What I loved about it besides the taste, was that they didn't just dump everything on top of chips. They layered the ingredients throughout so that every bite had a little of everything. They made them like I would've made my own. Not just some fast food sloppy dump and that's also what impressed me. No skimping here! I didn't even have to ask for 1 salsa of each. The lady at the counter mentioned their chimichamgas are very popular and from the drive through line last night, I can tell I'm not the only 1 who is impressed. Also, they are open 24 hours.

    Carne Asada Taco with Queso
    Gariana R.

    I love Leonardo it's my go to spot for dinner while I'm at work. They are open 24 hours with drive thru. They are usually pretty fast with getting your food prepared. I usually stick to the steak taco or the fish tacos they are both really good and seasoned well. The portions sizes are just enough to fill you up. They are very affordable i can usually get a meal for 8 bucks or so.

    I work nights. Every Wednesday night I get off work at 1:00am. This place is right on my way home and is open 24 hours, so I decided to give them a try. Not the greatest Mexican food I've had, but definitely not the worst. Decent food at a decent price, and one of the few options available for those with late night munchies.

    Wanted some mexican food and this place was pretty close to my hotel. The food was ready within a minute and it was delicious just like the other reviews said. I had the #10 (carne asada tacos), would come back 100%Carne Asada Tacos

    Steak nachos. They needed some salsa. Don't forget to ask.

A huge variety of vegetarian options (plus meat add ons, for the meat eaters), and everything we tried was delicious. The forbidden rice bowl was a particular favorite. Prices are reasonable too.

However the handicapped parking spots were at the opposite end of the strip mall. I didn't need it, but if someone does-it may be a problem. They have 5 curbside pick-up spots. (Turn 2 or 3 into handicap parking--suggestion.) There were issues finding a working "manager card" that is needed to process a gift card. Third time was the charm! Not quite. The card had expired months ago. (Sad face, here, only because the gift card doesn't show an expiration date.) I had invested several minutes in the gift card logistics and the line behind me was growing, so I paid for the meal. My wrap, the 1924, was delicious! It was a limited-time, seasonal item. The chicken was flavorful and the greens tasted fresh and they were lightly dressed in an oil & vinaigrette. The self-serve rose-petal lemonade was good too. I sat on the patio with outdoor ceiling fans keeping the humid summer air circulating. It was pleasant. Overall, I'm not sure I'm their target customer based on the menu. I may try Flower Child again though.

I've been to one other Sweetgreen location in Downtown Indianapolis for a Yelp event, but that was quite some time ago. The employee, Aaliyah, provided me with her suggestions upon request and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal at home. The salmon was tender and juicy and the sweet potatoes were well-seasoned and cooked to be the prefect consistency. The wild rice was cooked to perfection. The sauces took everything to another level. I like that they have the information for where they source their ingredients on display for the customer to see. The food is a bit pricey, but it's worth it.

I did see they allow you to make reservations on Open Table, so I booked it for a weekday to try it out. It wasn't nearly as busy as the parking lot looked, there was plenty of seating. It was a nice day so they had the windows open and they also had someone playing live music so it was a tad loud but, not overly loud where you can't hear your conversation. The menu is not your typical menu, it's very crafty if that's a word. The service was very good, and she explained the menu well and we took her up on her recommendations. Turkey pastrami which I had never had before. It tastes really fresh and felt healthy. The salad comes in a little small bowl but full of goodness.

I liked the added touch of the date night plaque at our table when we arrived. We started with the Evil Jungle Princess (10/10 tiki drink) and the paper bag beer + blind shot pick (gross but kind of fun if you like beer, I think we got a PBR lol). For apps we got the Wagyu pigs in a blanket and the broccoli cheddar soup to share. The piggies were so savory and delicious. For entrees we got the fish and chips and rainbow roll. The fish was perfectly battered and tasted great. The rainbow roll had good flavor but really fell apart immediately. I felt like the presentation could have been improved. They also did not bring out soy sauce with the roll and didn't come even after asking our server for it. Still good flavor to the fish. We finished off the night with the monkey bread (100/10). So sweet and delicious! It came out hot and fresh with a side of ice cream. Definitely sugar overload but totally worth it. And our nightcaps were the Espresso Martini (HAVE to get) and the Campfire Vibes. Both great drinks. Highly recommend this spot for any special night out.
