4.4/5
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Regie Samuel
Great tasting Mexican food. It is my family’s go to Mexican restaurant in Harlingen. Love their free ships and salsa. Instead of a “saucy” salsa, the salsa is actual chunky bits of tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeños and the right amount of salt. I’m not a fan of very salty food and Leños food is flavorful beyond just adding salt to food like most restaurants. Be sure to try their Bistec Tacos and Pollo Asada. By default they will give a tasty green sauce. But if you like spicy, they have a red sauce that is flavorful and quite spicy. Their lemonade is also extremely good.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Maris Singleterry
You can never go wrong here! Whether you order the tacos, lonches, or any of their other plates, you won’t be disappointed. I’ve been to this place several times for lunch and it’s always delicious. Their aguas frescas are the best — super refreshing and flavorful!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Noe Garcia
One of the best restaurants I've been to. Great food and affordable. Excellent service and great vibe.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Alexia Trevino
Food was great and the woman in the front helped me take my order to my car as I had my hands full with my son. The parillada was enough for 3 kids and 2 adults, everyone loved it but the extra help to the car was above and beyond service.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — C Monz
My new favorite place for lonches!! The food was delicious and made to order. Staff was a super friendly and amazing service. Plates are well served, and every bite was bursting with flavor. The agua Fresca was delicious, too. The restaurant is spacious, and they have a room for a private gathering
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Crystal Valdez
Leños Y Brasas was really good! They updated the place from when it used to be Kikis. The service was great and the food was served quick! The facility was clean and was quiet and welcoming! The fajita was delicious! The beans were fresh, along with the aguas frescas! Definitely coming back! They also have a private room for about 10 people
