Senor Leon Mexican Cantina & Grill - Spinach cheese dip - Mexican Near Me - Buffalo, New York

This place is great. Every time I have gone here, the service has been super fast and attentive. The food is excellent. I'm on a sort of mission to try birria tacos at as many Mexican restaurants around Buffalo as possible. I'm no expert, but their birria is one of the best I have had! The portions are really large, so it's totally possible to split a meal with someone and still feel full. The ambiance is pretty nice. (Cool little fountain by the outside door, nice booths.) Other reviewers mentioned how loud it is ... where I sat it wasn't as loud -- so maybe the loudness is just in the bar area? A huge bonus is that there is a ton of parking, since it is in the mall. A coworker had recommended the Batavia location to me, but I didn't want to drive all the way out there, so I'm glad this location opened up a couple years ago! read more

Senor Leon Mexican Cantina & Grill - Mexican Near Me - Buffalo, New York

When we arrived on a Thursday, restaurant was mostly empty and stayed that way. It is a very large space. Music was a tad too loud making conversation difficult. Happy hour prices are great. Regular margarita was okay. I ordered Burritos mexico which is supposed to have three different kinds of burrito. They were all the size of a cigar . First one had hardly any filling and couldn't quite tell what it was The second one had some kind of creamy filling, somewhat cheesy. Third one very finely ground beef without much seasoning. It was accompanied by a small amount of rice. The plate looked nice but, was only Luke warm. I asked for pico de gallo and got about a teaspoon full. I was really craving Mexican but this left me lacking. I doubt if I will return. We have quite of few excellent Mexican restaurants around here and this one doesn't quite measure up. read more

The margaritas were great and the service was good! The food was half and half. in sum, I got the Senor Leon special Fajita it had a good amount of meat, peppers and onions. It was delicious so were the refried beans! It was a bit over cooked . The wife got the burritos Mexicans . It was 3 burritos , 2 had nothing in the , really and the third was tasteless . She gave them a zero , that bad ! read more

This spot in the mall has been on my list but now I finally got to try it. I went in for lunch and it was a nice option in the area. With it being just after the lunch rush, we got seated at a table right away. This is in the former World of Beer location in the Galleria Mall. The space looks huge in here now. So bright, inviting, and welcoming. There's an entrance from outside and an entrance inside of the mall itself. Our server was great and took care of everything we needed. I ordered a pineapple Jarritos and my friend got a horchata. That looked really good so I have to go back to try it. They give you chips and salsa at the table as a starter which was nice. The chips were actually really good. Not overly salted and very crispy. The salsa was good too. It was mild and had a good flavor for the chips. I ordered the lunch special steak quesadilla with rice and beans. The steak was phenomenal. It had good flavor and was cooked perfectly. The quesadilla was a good size, and there was a good amount of rice and beans as well. Overall it was delicious and filling! I will definitely be back with more friends and family. This is a great spot and even better food! read more

Went for lunch and enjoyed the specials they had. Service was quick and the chips and salsa served ahead of the meal were great. I got the Senor Leon burrito ($11) which came stuffed with three different meats and included a bit of Carne Asada steak on the side. It was a great way to sample a lot of things in one meal lol. I also got a Horchata drink to go along with them lunch and it was really good. Maybe a little sweeter than usual but I liked it! Looking forward to going back again to try more things on their menu and glad to have a new Mexican spot located, conveniently at the mall. read more

For reference I can't count how many Mexican Places we've tried. We have a couple favorites that are our "go to's". El Jefe, El Canelo, Fiesta Bamba... I strumbled upon a newer one I didnt know existed. There apparently is a location in Batavia and in Niagara Falls also. Never tried either of those locations either. Senor Leon is the name. Its located on the back side of the Galleria Mall. The old World of Beers and really old Ruby Tuesday's. Let me just say they may be our favorite. Dining room was beautiful and culturally decorated. Comfortable and clean. Huge bar and quite a few TV's. Our server was Carlos and he was fantastic. Super attentive and not overwhelming. I was shocked when we got the menu. Prices were crazy reasonable for a higher class Mexican place, especially in a Mall. Wife got the steak quesadilla, it was huge and the condiments and beans had to come out on a separate plate. I got the lunch Senor Leon Burrito and a hard shell taco. I could only eat half and it was only $12!!! It came with burrito filled with steak, chicken, beans, and rice. Smothered in nacho cheese and pico del gallo. Also with a small cheese quesadilla, 2 chicken taquitos, and 4 slices of carne asada steak. FOR $12!!! This place beyond impressed me. I honestly think it may our single "go to" in the future if subsequent visits are this rewarding. An absolute must try if you like authentic Mexican. read more

We stopped in for a drink and decided to try a few of their a la carte menu items. We ordered the $3.99 margarita, a Chile relleno, tamale and chicken quesadilla. Everything was outstanding; homemade, fresh and more authentic than many of the other local Mexican restaurants. We met the owner who was very personable and brought us some of their house made sauces to try. The ambience is nice and they put a lot of effort into making it not look like World of Beer anymore. Mexican music in the background with a cheerful atmosphere made me feel like I was on vacation. Everything was so good and we definitely will be back. read more

Margaritas?! Virgin Daiquiris?! Senor Leon has it all! The service here is outstanding. We have come here twice, and our waitress and waiter were both incredible. They deliver your food HOT HOT HOT and muy rapido! The owner is lovely, he came to check in with us to make sure everything was satisfactory and oh boy was it! The chips are sooooo good. Their salsa is very tasty but just a tad watery, it's a bit difficult to keep on the chip. Their queso is extremely good!!! The fajitas were so tasty. We cooked up my leftovers the next day and made some guac with them. The margaritas are huge and they are delicious! Ambiance is great, very lively, beautiful bright colors, and the booths are very comfortable! Muchas gracias Senor Leon, we will be back for more! read more

Finally got to try senor leons and had a good experience ... was also lucky it wasn't busy (came in at 7pm on a Sunday). The interior is nice! Everything still has that "new" look and feel to it and the hand painted murals are beautiful. Service was very friendly. I believe the manager was working and he greeted us as we arrived and check on us after we finished our meal. They start out with the standard chips and salsa. Both me and my friend enjoyed our meals. I ordered the chori pollo but I replaced the beans with peppers and onions. There may have been an up charge per the waitress, but my friend picked up the tab so I'm not sure. I think the best part about this place is the drinks ... and I'm not much of a drinker, but we saw some people's drinks and they were big and pretty to look at. There's a lot of options, including frozen drinks. There's also non-alcoholic beers (I believe corona's was one). read more

I always walk by this restaurant in the Galleria mall and today I decided I will try it for lunch. I so glad i did. This Mexican restaurant is a hidden gem. The food and drinks were amazing. They had a good vibe going with the music playing in background. Im happy I did all my shopping before deciding to eat. I was ready for a nap after my meal. Highly recommend. Will visit again real soon. read more

04/2025: This newly-opened restaurant is in a great place: Second floor of the Walden Galleria. It's an easy place to rest after shopping, and it's got the benefit of Mall security in the parking lot, if visiting in the evening . The interior is covered in bright, modern south-of-the border murals, and the dining room is full of light, and very clean. Ask to sit in the glass covered patio, unless you want to watch sports at the bar. Both our waitress and the manager came to check on us, attentive without hovering. It was very pleasant service. The plates came out of the kitchen so hot, the waitress needed oven mitts. It was also a short wait after we placed our order. Here's where things fell down: My cheese chile relleno and my husband's beef enchilada looked exactly alike, covered in a generic red sauce. This sauce has no garlic, onion, or cumin, coriander, or kick to it. For some, this might be a selling point. For me, I like it, "chuloso" (spicy). read more

Had lunch with a coworker here during the week. The restaurant is inside of the Galleria mall where the World of Beer used to be. It was kind of hard to find so you may want to give yourself a few extra minutes to locate it. I thought the food was good. I ordered a chimichanga off of the lunch menu and an enchilada on the side. Both were very good! I'm glad I got the side enchilada as the chimichanga was kind of a small portion from the lunch menu. The chips and salsa were very good as well. My coworker got a taco salad , which also looked on the smaller side.ended up ordering another side of salsa as the salad did not come with any extra toppings. Our server was very friendly and took good care of us. Ambiance was bright and festive as in most Mexican places. I would recommend if you are looking for lunch or dinner while shopping or if you are in the area. read more

This place sucks so bad I went 2x before reviewing and the service is horrible, so slow it's ridiculous, and they aren't friendly to top it off. They will be out of business soon. So many better options for Mexican food near by, where the waitress doesn't stand there texting and ignoring customers read more

Tried this new Mexican restaurant that's located in the back side of the Galleria mall near Macy's attached to the mall, but also has its own entrance and you don't have to enter the mall. They have a huge patio out front too to enjoy dining al fresco during the warmer months. I started at the bar and waited for my girlfriends to show up. The ladies trickled in sporadically and we had margs at the bar before sitting for dinner. It was a Tuesday and they had house Margarita's for $3.00 a piece for happy hour! What a fantastic price! The house marg was decent enough. The bartender who waited on us, also ended up being our waitress too. She was new and very sweet. She was very thorough and went over everything we ordered with us after everyone ordered which was nice to confirm since there were five of us. I don't and didn't mind that at all; matter of fact that makes for excellent communication and completeness. I had the steak fajita quesadilla. It was so delicious and filled plentifully with lots of steak and veggies! It came with rice and beans as well. Everyone enjoyed their dinner very much! The food and plates were piping hot which I appreciate. I will definitely be returning! What are you waiting for....check them out if you haven't already and add it to your rotation! read more

Great food. Wonderful service. Very well priced, especially on Mondays. We were invited back for Cinco Day Mayo party but were unable to attend. We heard it was a lot of fun. read more

Worst service I got. Cold food. Over 50 minute wait to get my food. Would not recommend. Asked for quesabirria and gave me birria instead. My friend asked for 2 quesadillas and only got 1 quesadilla. I told them that I ordered quesabirria and asked if they had any and they told me that they don't. Did not ask if I wanted to change my order. Did not follow up if I needed more drinks or utensils read more

The food was amazing and came out very quickly. The servers were very kind and attentive and greeted us at the door but not the annoying attentive. The manager/maybe owner came up to us asking about how the food was and was very involved with the customers thanked us and said goodbye. Overall just a very friendly welcoming atmosphere. read more

This place has to do better. Most places when they first open do very well and sometimes quality starts to go down. This place, however, was a complete waste of money for my family and I. I ordered a sope and taco and I knew it wasn't going to be good considering it came out so damn soggy. I've never ordered a taco and sope for it to come to me so soggy. I avoided the soggy shell and thought the main ingredients would suffice but I was wrong. Definitely not coming back to this place. read more

Order the Burrito Mexico with Spanish rice and pinto beans it was 10/10 not too spicy on the sauces just right. Chips were also very good.

This Mexican restaurant is tops! The food, service and ambiance are outstanding! Love the new guacamole station where they make it fresh right at your table with options of heat spice! Prices are reasonable, too! read more

I hate to be rude, but the food is terrible and the prices are extremely overpriced. The waiters don't know any better so they are nice, but the prices are so insane for mid Mexican food. Taco Bell has better. read more

Two nights in a row I ate at Senor Leon. Both nights the food was DELICIOUS. I tried different things each night. I went with different friends, and they agreed that it was the best local Mexican food. Food is delicious, service is amazing, and you definitely forget you are in a mall. The ambiance is very authentic. I will definitely be back and recommend to others. read more
