Leon's Mexcian Restaurant serves authentic Mexican fare, the food is always fresh and the staff is friendly and accommodating. They serve the BEST mojitos in Saratoga! We have eaten here on a number of occasions and never had a bad meal! They serve chips with homemade salsa while you wait for your meal, if the dining room is full, you... More

Leon's has been a favorite of mine for several years. Every time we go in, Philoberto, the proprietor, would come table to table and check to see if everything was ok. He took a lot of pride on pleasing his customers and making sure that our experience was a pleasurable one. I had a complaint about the rice once, so... More

It was horrible. It took an hour to get our food and it wasn't very busy. The salsa was cooked, not fresh. The food was one step above taco bell. I ordered the beef enchilada. I expected shredded beef, but it was ground beef. They should specify ground beef on the menu. The margaritas are very watered down. Go to... More

My companion and I stopped by for dinner as we were craving a little taste of Mexico. The dining room was almost empty but a few parties came in while we were eating. I guess I was surprised by that as so many folks I know have raved about Leon's. Anyway, we ordered the home made Sangria-it was out of... More

Decided we wanted Mexican food on a circuitous route home from a VT ski outing and found this place on Google. It was rated the best of the Mexican restaurants in the Saratoga area. We visited early on a cold, snowy Sunday evening; there were half a dozen cars in the parking lot, one large party at tables pushed together... More

We go to Leon's several times a year... They serve very authentic Mexican food at a good price and the service is always excellent.. Love their fajitas and the Flan for dessert is always excellent.

We tried this mexican restaurant during off racing season and found the very high priced for what you received. Drinks were costly as well, nice atmosphere, food was a little on the dry side, but we couldnt get away from the high prices, so we ordered very little and had to split a dish.

Hard to find better around this area ! It's a little secret to find this place. I had to have people who moved to this area tell me about it, so now we drive up from Albany every chance we get ! Rachel Ray even has a dish on the menu! Always fresh , always great !

For great mex food, chips and salsa, friendly service.. this place has it all and prices are great too. I have got the items recommended by the TV cook a couple times and was not disappointed. One time I tried the flaming fajita and it ended up burnt so I wouldn't suggest that.

This place is great although management can be stingy, so they lose a star for that! Food is great, drinks are delicious, and service is usually good... Except for the one time I had a waitress who was more interested in taking smoking breaks than serving. However, they often try to get out of allowing you to use a coupon,... More
