El Leoncito - Viera

Our server, James, did a Fantastic job. He was super attentive and sincere.

We ordered taco & tamale and Ropa Vieja which was served hot and tasted fresh. Our food was excellent.

Overall a 5 Star experience.

We have eaten at El Leoncito a handful of times and all of the experiences have been good, from the food to the service. Last week we tried the birria tacos and enjoyed them! That was the 1st time we ever had birria tacos so we don’t have any others to compare them to yet. (I requested the onion on the side).

It was really good food and sauces! The green sauce was extra spicy but it was good because it lasted for a few meals. We got a large. The cheese was really good too!

Great place to eat for fresh Mexican or Cuban seafood and basics! Service was good and fast. The chips, salsa and queso had lots of flavor and the lobster tacos were fresh and delicious. My favorite was the Pineapple sofresco cocktail!!

A Culinary Journey to Remember: The Leoncito

Stepping into The Leoncito is like embarking on a flavorful adventure through the heart of Mexico and Cuba. From the moment my family and I entered, we were greeted with warm smiles and the tantalizing aroma of authentic cuisine.

Our taste buds were immediately tantalized by the expertly crafted margaritas, which set the tone for an evening of culinary delight. My wife couldn't get enough of them, and even our kids, usually picky eaters, found joy in the mouthwatering tacos.

As a Puerto Rican, I often yearn for flavors that remind me of home, and The Leoncito delivered in grand style. The Cuban steak dish I ordered was a masterpiece, cooked to a perfect medium rare, accompanied by fragrant white cilantro rice and maduros that transported me back to the streets of San Juan. It was a culinary symphony of flavors that resonated deeply with my soul.

But the journey didn't end there. The desserts were nothing short of divine, offering a sweet conclusion to an already unforgettable meal.

What truly elevated our experience, however, was the impeccable service. Jasmine, the owner, epitomized hospitality as she personally ensured that every detail of our dining experience was attended to. Her genuine care and attention made us feel like honored guests in her own home.

In summary, The Leoncito is more than just a restaurant; it's a celebration of culture, flavor, and family. Whether you're craving a taste of Cuba, Mexico, or a bit of both, this establishment delivers with excellence. I wholeheartedly recommend The Leoncito to anyone in search of an extraordinary dining experience.

Gracias, Jasmine, and the entire team at The Leoncito, for an unforgettable evening. We'll certainly be back for more culinary adventures!

Food was amazing! We traveled down from NC for vacation and wanted dinner. Our server Sonia was extremely sweet and didn’t rush us when trying to decide on what we wanted. We’ll definitely come back and sit in her section!!! Because of her I give it a 10/10

Atmosphere and service were terrific! In particular, our bartender (server #82), Keith was amazing. Super attentive, right on-time, made great drinks, and a great personality. We had a wonderful visit and like forward to coming back!

We stopped on a road trip to GA.
It was good, big place. Outside patio & bar.
The chicken on the nachos was seasoned very nicely.

Love El Leoncitos! The service is A+ and the restaurant is beautiful. The food is by far some of the best and one of the only Mexican spots to have Chorizo Con Huevos on the menu. It's my fave dish. The dessert was also amazing and they also do the birthday thing if your interested. #superyum!

Our waitress was great and put up with all our jokes. The churro ice cream dessert is HUGE but save room for it! Cadillac margaritas are 2 for 1 on Thursdays!

Had a great Taco Tuesday!
Manager Bruna helped us! We got to use our taco Tuesday deals!
Nicole was our sweet server!

I’m consistently coming to visit Estrella and her amazing margaritas!! It doesn’t hurt that the food is always par for the course. Never disappointed when I eat here for lunch.

Taco Tuesday!! Tacos were freaking amazing!! Yup, I ate 6. Great selection, good amount of food. They make great adult drinks, my mojito was perfectly done. Going back? Yes, most definitely. Recommend? Hell yes! We are still saying how good tge tacos were, several days later!

This restaurant has drastically improved since last year!! My family and I had stopped going because the food quality and service had declined. However, tonight we decided to give them another try after our long hiatus! I’m so glad we did, the food was amazing and so was the service. I learned that the restaurant now has a new manager named Estrella, she is incredible! She has turned this restaurant around and I’m so thankful! Please stop in for a delicious meal and a wonderful time.

My food was extremely delicious. I enjoyed my Shrimp Tacos. Everything was prepared fresh. My Server Nicole made sure that I always had what I needed and kept our drinks filled. The Manager Bruna also made sure that our meal was perfect. During my last visit I had an issue with my Shrimp Tacos but this time Nicole and Bruna made sure that my food was just as I expected it to be and it was delicious. I enjoy eating here and I am a repeat customer since I enjoy their food very much and always recommend them to friends and family.

Jessy was our server (bartender) as she has many times before. She is very multitask. Our drinks and food are always filled and ready. Best bartender! Thank you Jessy for always taking care of us so well. Your sweet personality just adds to the experience. Highly recommend.

Very enjoyable live guitar serenade to add to pleasant evening of margaritas and enchiladas on a rainy evening in Viera. Great way to kill 2-3 hours. Quaint and pleasant, very uniquely designed interior. Also very enjoyable outdoor bar experience if that's more to one's liking.

Amazing atmosphere, the drink was spectacular. Fajitas a tad bit better than most places.

My husband & I recommend the lunch specials that are on the daily lunch specials. We’ve had Tuesday, Wednesdays & Thursdays. I love Thursdays, Wednesdays & Tuesday’s best in that order they are absolutely delicious all of them! Their Salsa is delicious! The churro’s are the best ever. The Atmosphere is so beautiful yet private.

There were 5 of us total and our waiter Estrella was absolutely amazing. This place is definitely 5/5 and I will be returning for sure.
