While some customers appreciate the homemade tortillas and commend certain dishes as being filled with rich flavors, others find the food to be lacking depth and traditional authenticity.

" I read all the hype about this place and was excited to try it out, but unfortunately, it fell flat. While the tortillas are homemade, my breakfast burrito was dry and bland, which was disappointing considering the price. The service was friendly but overwhelmed, as it seems they are understaffed for peak breakfast hours. I'll perhaps give Leal's another chance in hopes they resolve some of these issues. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointment from start to finish. The cleanliness was definitely lacking. My table had sticky spots and felt neglected. Although the burrito was filling, the flavors left a lot to be desired. I've had better at fast-food joints! The service was friendly but overwhelmed; I had to ask repeatedly for napkins after my food arrived. Overall, I do not plan on returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely delighted with Leal's! We decided to have breakfast here on a weekend morning, and the breakfast burrito exceeded my expectations. The ingredients tasted fresh, especially the homemade tortillas. I loved the vibrant salsa they serve on the side. The ambiance was warm, and despite being a little crowded, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. I definitely will return and recommend it to friends looking for an authentic dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was not what I anticipated. The restaurant was crowded, and while the staff was pleasant, the service was slow. When my food finally arrived, it was lukewarm and lacked seasoning. I had heard amazing things, but my burrito was dried out, and the salsa tasted overly sweet rather than spicy. The atmosphere was friendly, but the food has to deliver for me to come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Leal's is truly a family restaurant, and it shows! The burritos are a favorite for our weekend breakfasts. I love how friendly the staff is, and they truly care about your dining experience. The homemade tortillas are fluffy and delicious. I have fond memories here, from birthday breakfasts to casual brunches. It will always hold a special place in my heart. Highly recommend!

" My recent trip to Leal's was not as expected. I was excited for the famous breakfast burrito but was greeted with a fairly average experience. The flavors were muted, and I had to add extra hot sauce to make it palatable. The service was attentive but felt rushed. I really wanted to love this place but left feeling disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family has always loved coming to Leal's. It's a tradition we uphold every time we visit Waco. The breakfast burritos are simply the best; they have the right amount of ingredients without being overwhelming. Honestly, the simplicity and goodness of it remind me why I love Mexican food! The staff is attentive, and the positive vibe just makes this place stand out. " (*Curated Review*)
