Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

I ran into this one by searching for Mexican restaurants right here on yelp.com . After reading the reviews, I wondered if this might be the place with the fabulous tamales a coworker took me to about 10 or so years ago; if so, it was definitely worth a look. Dropped in with the family tonight, and we were all agreed: everything was good. Moreover, I recognized it instantly as the place that had impressed me so much a decade ago. The taco meats were seasoned just right, the tortillas were homemade, the tamales were as good as I remembered, and everything was inexpensive. My wife ordered an enchilada that looked a bit north-of-the-border with a flour tortilla and cheddar-jack sprinkled on top, but the filling was very good, and the sauce was unique and quite tasty. Even the rice and beans were a cut above most I've had in town. Better yet, you can buy the tamales fresh from the steamer by the dozen, or cold. Tonight, they were selling a dozen cold pork tamales for about five bucks. Guess what we're having for dinner tomorrow? Anything sold in the restaurant is available for take-out, often in bulk, including chile verde and three different salsas. A number of Mexican and US sodas round out the menu. I recommend this place highly.

Oh. Em. Gee... This is my new fave place to pickup prepared Mexican food to heat and eat at home... I got a little of everything and its all amazing! Worth the trip to South O!

I'm hovering between four and five stars for Sam's-Leon. The food was amazing. For the first time in my life I had a cachete (cheek) taco and it was so good I want to go back in time and punch myself in the face for having not tried it sooner. The asada taco was very good in its own right, and the salsa was delicious with, for me, just the right amount of kick to it. What is keeping me from giving them that fifth star was the fact that some of our party didn't get their food at first and had to re-order it, while others did not ever receive everything they asked for. That said, I don't believe anyone was charged for something they didn't get, and the quality of the food more than makes this an easy four stars for me.

I must admit that I'm not surprised that I am the first to review this joint. It's a bit off the 'path' of South O (a.k.a. not on 24th st.), and I've never seen an advertisement - ever. This is one of those places, however, that you openly want to succeed, but you also secretly want to keep (what seems) all to yourself. Parking is street only, but I've never had an issue. Mostly because if you aren't reading the window it looks more like a house than a restaurant. What's that you say? Decor?? You'll find none of that here. You will walk in to find a counter, four tables, and a medium sized deli type counter in which you can order bulk meals and Mexican cooking supplies to go. The menu is large enough to always make you pause and think, and it's displayed over the front counter on a large marker board. The entire place is always immaculate, and they have a large open window that shows off the obvious endless work they do to keep the kitchen (literally) shining. Not only have I yet to eat something disappointing from here, but I've never heard anything but raves from those I go with. I'm fond of the pork burritos, and I recently tried the chicken quesadilla for the first time. If you eat in the restaurant they will bring you free homemade chips and salsa, but no such luck if you grab your food to go. Every time you bite down you can taste a distinct difference between the junky junk junk junk that you get served at most all other quick pick Mexican restaurants. Here you'll find all undeniably fresh ingredients. My quesadilla was stuffed with pulled chicken, crisp lettuce, sliced onion, ultra fresh tomato, and large perfect cuts of avocado. The portions are huge and there is no way you could possibly leave still feeling hungry. ::que ron popeil style voice:: So how much would you pay for such an amazing lunch/dinner? You'll actually pay about $1.00-2.50 for any one item. Keep in mind that by ordering two things, you've likely just over-ordered. Consider getting a water, and two people can easily sit down to homemade chips, salsa, and a mouth watering entree for about $4-$5. Find me a similar piece of food-awesomeness for the same price... go 'head - I dare ya.

I had heard about Sam's Leon from some co-workers, but was inspired to try it after reading the review posted on Yelp. The reviewer was totally correct. Really good food and really reasonable prices. I had the Chicharon burrito. It was a burrito filled with fried pork rinds (chicharonnes), beans and cheese. Not health food, but worth the splurge. The refried beans were delicious and the rice surprisingly good. I had water, which was delivered to the table in a pitcher filled with ice and wedges of lime. Totally refreshing! I spent a whole $3.99 on a meal that I couldn't finish. Wow! I'm glad I took the advice of the Yelp reviewer who recommended to order only one menu item! I will go back again.....soon!
(5)Lydia U.
Ate lunch here based on other yelp reviews... This place left a lot to be desired. The chips were too thick and rock hard, although the salsa was decent. The decor was nonexistent. the only vegetarian option was a cheese quesadilla, which wasn't listed on the menu. Service was fast and the staff was friendly.... But the place itself just wasn't very inviting.

My first 5 star! This place is just a 5 minute bicycle ride from my house and has been there for over 30 years (longer than I have been around) and yet this was my first visit. I got everything on takeout and overall was VERY pleased with it all. I ended up getting 4 steak burritos, 4 chicken tacos, 2 chicken tamales, one pint of rice and a large bag of flour chips all for just over $20 (I wanted to try a lot being my first visit). It ended up lasting me 3 meals. Only thing I could knock them on was the rice. It was rather bland and dry, but when mixed in with some salsa and eaten with the tamales or burritos it was fine. I WILL be going back. From their card I picked up. "Hours Mon-Fri 8:00am - 8:00 pm Saturday 7:00 am - 6:00 pm Sunday 8:00 am - 3:00 pm"

I have nothing but good to say about this place. Very unassuming. Off the beaten path. We found it on Yelp also. Clean. We had tacos, enchiladas and a torta. All were delicious. We will definitely go back
(4)Nick A.
Super friendly and fast. Food was excellent and a great value. Will definitely be going back.

Keepin' it simple, because that's how they do at Sam's-Leon. Corn chips super thick. Not in love with 'em with salsa, but AMAZE with a slab o' peanut butter and/or Nutella (what?! multi-ethnic is wrong?!) Best chicken enchiladas in-house, carry out for lunch or reheated from your fridge! Beware of the frozen aluminum foil if you still have metal fillings in your mouth. Awesome tamales that reheat super well, especially when you buy the bag o' 12 to go. Sometimes they have special flavors (uh...cheese-jalapeno, yes please.) The frijoles are THICK, if you into the more thickish, salty type (I heart all frijoles, so love these too). Service in house was so-so. Carry out (call ahead) was spot on. When you're shopping in the hood, just pop by...they got the enchiladas, frijoles, and tamales ret-to-go. PS- Not a fan of the carne asada taco or chile relleno, but hey...can't love everything and that's OK because I got a bunch of other stuff ready in the freezer!
(4)Michael P.
Great little place. The wife and I go to lunch here and spend 10 bucks at the most. Great tacos and salsa. Have ordered take out from here and its just as good.
(4)Sarah G.
Pretty tasty - service had a couple of missteps (but maybe our group of 12 threw them for a loop? I tried to order a cheek taco and a chicken taco, plus a tamale (which I heard were to die for). I think what showed up was one cheek taco... though I got to sample one of the tamale's (surprisingly spicy) and some table guacamole (good, but I wish the chips were thinner. these reminded me more of pita chips). The food that showed up was good, and I was definitely hungry, but compared to other stops on the taco tour, it wasn't my favorite. Though, as you can see, I'm still a fan.
(4)Matt M.
Ok people - this place is legit. I finally made it here and now I wish I would have a long time ago. We tried the tamales, pork chile, beef flautas and the refired beans. The flautas were ok but everything else was outstanding. The pork chile turned out to be red but it was the best I have ever had. The tamales tasted very fresh - the masa was not dry at all. The refried beans were probably the best in town. We will definitely being going back here - very soon.
