    NO CASH
    Mark S.

    Look, here's the deal, no business in modern times should have a "Cash Only" sign on their storefront. It's tacky and unwelcoming. I understand why they do it. Because credit card companies charge a percentage to businesses. That sucks, but it's part of doing business. And I really wanted some tacos today

    Chimichanga, double rice, no beans.
    Brenda B.

    Decent place. Doesn't look like much from the outside. Inside reminds me of a hole in the wall place you'd find in Mexico but really clean. Super friendly staff. Truly a family business as all family works there. Food was good and came out hot. Fresh homemade chips and homemade salsa both good. Ordered burrito and chimichanga. Both were good and had leftovers for later. Only 4 stars because I have had better Mexican but not around here. Would eat there again.

    Vegetarian bowl with queso
    Deb B.

    Loved this place! Family run, with mama Maria in the kitchen who periodically came out to ensure we enjoyed our meal. Jose, Maria's son was at the counter and knew so many of the customers and greatest them warmly. It's hard to Relieve this place has only been open three years. The food is just fabulous and fresh. I ordered a vegetable bowl which consisted of flavored pinto beans over rice with a huge helping of lettuce tomatoes cilantro and covered in queso. I had diced jalapeños on the side and it came with a delicious tomatillo salsa. Even though this was a big serving I plowed through it in no time. We also ordered chips and salsa, the chips being freshly made and the salsa delicious. Jose asked many questions about how we liked our food for example do you want onions, cilantro, type of salsa whether mild or hot (both rock!), and type of cheese, so everything is customized to your taste. My husband had a few vegetarian soft tacos as well as a burrito. Everything was so good. This place is small and off the main street and is a diamond in the town of LeRoy. There are Mexican sodas as well as other soft drinks. Great vibes, great food and a very lovely family who take pride in what they serve.

    Street Tacos with carne asada

    Great spot for lunch or dinner in Le Roy! It's right off the Main Street near the post office and has a cute family run feel (because it is!). We saw who I think is mama Chavez and our server ( José I think) was really friendly. I had the carne asada street tacos which were great and very filling along with some of their house made chips. Easy free parking across the street. Would definitely go again if I'm back in Le Roy!

    Authentic Mexican food that has a great family vibe. For Leroy this is great, really happy to try it out and definitely recommend!

    Beef burritos, chicken tostadas. Both with rice and beans.

    Good food, nice portions. IMO could have used a bit more seasoning but if you add the hot sauce your problem is solved. Lol.

I don't like cilantro and our waitress Jessica made sure nothing I ordered had cilantro. The salsa that they ordinarily serve with the chips that are brought to the table when you first sit down does contain cilantro so she brought me over salsa without cilantro. That was greatly appreciated. The atmosphere of this restaurant is fun. The booths and walls and tables are decorated with hand drawn scenes from Mexican daily life and culture that adds to the spirit of this establishment. Our waitress, Jessica took excellent care of us and made sure our drinks stayed filled and she was very knowledgeable about the menu. We need to come back and try more of their offerings.

We called to advise of the error and instead of listening... the less than receptive person directed us to return the entire order while it was remade. We did so. When we reopened the order some 45 minutes later we discovered the same food from the original order ... now cold and wilted ... together with the missing entree which was also cold because apparently it was prepared earlier but not given to us. They said sorry. What poor customer service. The price was way more than on previous trips too. Avoid this place.

I was told they only do outdoors, with the truck. I need indoors for nursing home residents and staff (like trays of stuff for a buffet line or something). So unfortunately the truck doesn't really accommodate my needs. That's okay. Nobody can be everything to everybody, I get it. But I also ordered dinner, to go. I have a deep love for Mexican cuisine (more so authentic fast food and home cookin) that goes back as far as I can remember and I was eagerly anticipating THIS dinner. Now, I used to basically live on the California/Mexico border and ate in Mexico, in border towns and non-border towns. I've also cruised deep into Mexico. One of my mother's husbands was Mexican and so was one of mine. I've spent time in Mexican bush camps in southern Texas over a campfire cooking texmex with ranch hands, but I'm no foodie. I just have a little exposure and experience in this genre. So that really compels me to say that my dinner was less than impressive. Service was good for sure. The carnitas chimichanga I ordered was pure meat. On the side was some sour cream, guacamole (not enough of either) and plenty of shredded lettace underneath the condiments. The chips were good, but could've been warmer with more salt and salsa. I have to say that the food at this restaurant, while 'stylized' as Mexican, isn't really what you'd expect as Mexican (only marginally adjacent, I'm afraid). I truly didn't expect it to be authentic this far away from Mexico, but it really missed the mark. I saw tortillas, I saw stylized proteins and even salsa. I just didn't FEEEELLLL Mexico when I ate the food. The carnitas tasted like boiled shredded pork, I'm sorry to say. No spice, no heart, nothing Mexico about it.

The taco truck is open Friday Saturday and Sunday and there are several socially distanced picnic tables outside, some with umbrellas and some without. It was a nice day so we sat in the sun. My diablas torta (chorizo & carne asada) was delicious with slices of avocado, onion, lettuce and peppers. Unlike most tortas I've had they were light with the mayo which is appreciated when you're having something as decadent as chorizo and steak. The bread was amazing and fresh as well. Great sandwich. The bf has lengua, carnitas and diabla tacos and enjoyed them all. We had horchata and Jamaica to drink. The Jamaica was not too sweet which was nice. The horchata was very good. My biggest problem with the aguas frescas set up was the multitude of yellow jackets attacking the drink dispensers which were set up for self service. I had wanted limonada but the bees were particularly interested in the dispenser for that one. We also checked out the store next door and picked up a packet of hot homemade tamales (also delicious) as well as some chorizo, hot sauce and drinks. Highly recommended weekend trip.

It's easier to eat if you let it cool off just a little, otherwise it runs off of the nachos. For dinner, my wife had a vegetarian/vegan burrito and I had Cammerones Bravos (shrimp dish with nice, large shrimp, rice, salad, onions & peppers, avacado, and jalepenos). I asked for mine with avacado on the side, so I could give it to my wife). It is advertized as SPICY (in capital letters) and it is because these are not wimpy jalepenos. Perfect for someone who loves spicy food. You can customize the order on a dropdown online (which I did for the guac). Those not so into onions, jalapenos, etc, can customize that as well. It was a big meal! I also ordered refried beans on the side and was too full to touch them. I can testify from past experience, however, that they are delicious. I customized my wife's Vegan burrito as well, using the dropdown menu to exclude meat and dairy. It worked perfectly. Dinner comes with some nachos and salsa. Both delicious and, when I last checked, both home made as well. We were very satisfied and very full. I highly recommend Mariachi Do Oro for a great, filling meal. The employees are very friendly and do their best to serve me and others there for dinner when I went for our pickup.
