" Every time I step into Don Leal's, I am taken back to the flavors of home. The food is consistently delicious, especially the breakfast burritos, which I have enjoyed for years! The homemade tortillas are a part of what makes it feel authentic. However, I have felt that the prices have increased over the years, making it a bit less accessible for casual dining. I hope they keep the quality high while maintaining reasonable pricing. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been going to Don Leal's for years and the culinary experience is consistently delightful. The breakfast burritos are hands down the best in Waco—large, fluffy and they hit the spot every time. The salsa is fresh and perfect for spicing up any meal. I often bring friends visiting from out of town and they all leave raving about the flavors. The staff is always friendly, making you feel like part of the family. Though I've had a couple of hiccups with my orders, they more than make up for it with their warm service and amazing food. I highly recommend stopping by if you find yourself in Waco. They have my loyalty! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Don Leal's based on a friend’s recommendation and was not disappointed. The vibe was friendly and welcoming, perfect for families. The chips and salsa were killer! The only downside was that my enchiladas were a bit on the soggy side this visit. Overall, I enjoyed my meal, but it was not my best experience. I’ll surely visit again just to give another try; the previous satisfaction levels were definitely high. " (*Curated Review*)

" So happy to have found this place! The breakfast tacos were delicious, and very filling. The staff was friendly too. The only downside was that the restaurant was packed and we had to wait a bit longer than we would have liked. Still, the food was worth it! I can definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy some quality Tex-Mex cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place for some good family dining. The nachos we ordered were piled high and quite tasty. However, service could be improved. We had to flag down our server multiple times, which affected the overall experience. Food was enjoyable, but the gaps in service made it a little slower than expected. I’d consider trying them again, hoping for more consistency next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Don Leal's has a special place in my heart. Growing up, I frequented this restaurant, and the food now still resonates with me. My go-to order is the breakfast burrito, which has stood the test of time in taste. The environment feels like home, where you know everyone’s friendly. However, I noticedt that the last few times, the service was hit or miss. I just hope they don’t lose what makes them special while they grow. " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot say enough good things about this establishment! Each meal I have had is infused with rich, authentic Mexican flavors that transport you straight to the heart of Mexico. The service is stellar, unlike any other similar restaurants around here. The cozy environment and their friendly staff make you feel at home every visit. I always look forward to coming back and trying something new each time. Don Leal's is a true treasure! " (*Curated Review*)
