“ The chicken and Steak Fajitas were fantastic. No need for the tortillia shells the plates were fantastic and filling without it. ”
“ Today was my first visit to Leon La Taberna and won't be my last. I arrived and was quickly greeted and seated by the hostess at the door. All the employees wore masks, correctly. After being seated, my server arrived promptly and took my drink order, then another server brought chips and salsa and also inquired about what sort of drink I would like, very refreshing to have solid customer service. My drink arrived, a Patron margarita. It was perfectly made and wonderful to drink. For my entre, I ordered a Tinga, or maybe its just Tinga. The chicken was well prepared and had a rich depth of flavor. It was smokey, spicy, tasty goodness. Someone loved that dish into existence, really. I was truly surprised by the layers of flavor I was experiencing in this dish. The Tinga was spicy, but not overwhelmingly spicy. It had a bite but it did not linger. I had a nice lunch and took note of happy hour times & prices. I shall return! Thanks! ”
“ Stopped in on trip to Birmingham and were pleasantly surprised at our good luck. The food was nicely presented and delicious. We had combo plates with chicken and it was moist and tender. Chips and salsa was spicy and delicious. Quicamole Mexican was fresh, made with chunks of avocado, onions, tomato, and cilantro. We will be back. ”
