I travel a lot for work and make it a point to try a no man-chain restaurant for dinner. This place is a Little restaurant on corner of Main Street. Fast service and great hospitality. I got three grilled chicken tacos and put my choice of toppings on from the side bar. The food was delicious and an unreal value. Would highly recommend and I will be stopping in again. read more

Best Mexican in town The severs were very attentive. Everything on the plate was very good and fresh. The lunch portion felt almost like a dinner portion from other Mexican restaurants. Caution; the queso dip was good but came with a heavy price tag of $4.75... lol read more

I've never been disappointed here, except with the carnitas. Not because it's bad, I just apparently don't like carnitas. The staff is friendly without being overbearing. read more

Excellent small Mexican restaurant!!!! Prices are good and the food is great. Love this place. The tacos are excellent, empanadas are tasty and honestly I can't say anything I have ever had here has not been good. read more

I love this place! Delicious food and wonderful people. I found myself in Red Springs one day and realized I had forgotten my wallet. I brought handfuls of change to the counter and asked what I could get for cheap. They gave me a couple of tacos. They were the most delicious tacos I've had in a very long time. Who knows if it was the kindness or the cooking but I'm back today to enjoy some more. This time I brought my wallet. Hold I'm about to take a bite... yep, still delicious! Good people, good food, a clean quaint little building, what's not to love?!? If you are in Red Springs you better stop at Taqueria Leon. read more

Taqueria el Leon Mexican Grill in Downtown Red Springs is probably the best Mexican restaurant around. Great (authentic) food, great service, and the cook will often give first-time or repeat customers a free appetizer! They have a great taco bar (you will be served tacos with fresh cooked meat, and then add your toppings from the bar). I highly recommend checking out this restaurant. People must have started to recognize how great this place is because last time we went every single table was taken! read more
