" I've been going to Leal's for years, and it never disappoints. My favorite is the breakfast burrito with sausage and peppers. The flavor is always top-notch, and the portion size is generous. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, perfect for a laid-back meal. If you want good food from a friendly staff, this is the place to go! " (*Curated Review*)

" Hidden gem alert! I absolutely loved my experience at Leal's! The burritos are huge and filled with quality ingredients. Each time I've visited, I've been treated like family. The homemade chips and salsa are also worth mentioning; I could eat them all day! The atmosphere is cozy, albeit a little crowded, but that just speaks to how popular this spot is. I'm making it a point to go back next week! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been eating at Leal's for years, and it always satisfies my cravings! Their breakfast burritos are the best in Waco, no contest. Recently, however, I tried the chili topper and was blown away by the flavor. The chips and salsa were also on point. Sure, it can get a bit busy, but the friendly staff ensures you feel welcomed. The place feels like home. If you're looking for an authentic taste of Mexico, you need to stop by Leal's! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was eager to try Leal's after hearing the buzz, but I left somewhat underwhelmed. My burrito was very plain and lacked spice. I expected more authenticity, as I’ve had excellent Mexican food elsewhere. The atmosphere didn’t help, as I found the place quite noisy and chaotic. However, the service was friendly, so I’ll give them that. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Leal's Mexican Restaurant based on what I heard but unfortunately, it didn't quite deliver. The burritos were decent but didn’t have the bold flavors I was looking for. The service was decent, nothing exceptional. The cleanliness of the restaurant could use some improvement. Overall, it was okay but not great. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
