DeLeon's Taco Rico

We tried DeLeon’s tonight at the 114th and Davenport location and it was unbelievably bland. The guacamole was maybe the worst I have ever had. It was runny, dark green, and completely flavorless. After a couple of bites, we ended up throwing it away. We tried tacos, enchiladas, and the taco salad, as well. The rice and beans were pretty good, but everything else was just really lacking in flavor and disappointing. None of the food we received was very good. Maybe it was an “off” night.

Will not be returning to this place. Haven't even tried the food that I just purchased, but the customer service in the drive thru was so absolutely horrible that I don't want to eat what I just bought. I asked what kind of shells come with the carnitas tacos. I don't think she knew there was a difference between flour and corn tortillas. I had to be very specific, and ask "are the shells made with corn or flour?". She said flour, but it felt like she was just guessing. If it's anything like Abelardos, then they're definitely corn... But I didn't want to risk receiving flour tortillas with my taco so I ordered a carnitas torta instead. She just wasn't helpful AT ALL. I also asked if they sell Chile rellenos a la carte, and she didn't understand me, so I asked if I can buy a single one or if I have to order the whole meal... She said I had to order the whole plate. It felt like she just agreed with whatever I asked instead of helping me to get the info I was seeking. And it was definitely not due to a language barrier, because I speak English and her English definitely reflected that she grew up speaking it. I asked the girl for sauce. She said she already put it in the bag. I asked how many and which kind and she just smiled, said have a nice day and shut the window. So I waited and looked at the window to flag down someones attention in case she just didn't realize I was asking her a question, and was just ignored some more. Update after eating: I will say that the potatoes locos doesn't look at all appetizing. And it didn't taste great. The tamale is dry and flavorless. The carnitas torta only has lettuce and avocado sauce. Every time I've ordered a torta from anywhere it comes with onion and tomato or pico de Gallo. The #12 Chile rellenos plate is good. Everything was lacking a bit on flavor, but their salsas helped that and even had a bit of heat, which wasn't disappointing. I may try a different location sometime, but all in all, Abelardos tastes better.

The taco and the tortas was not seasoned. I struggled to eat the taco. The taco meat was burnt and hard. I thought about getting a refund but was too hungry so I tried to finish the taco. I will not return to any De Leon restaurants. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, De Leon will disappoint. I know you can’t always trust a review…I did and it was all wrong. But you can trust this one. Eat at your own risk. 👎🏽

I used to love this place, they don't have the radishes, carrots and such anymore. They HAVE TO FIX THE DRIVE THRU!!! What I ordered should have been a total of at leave $16, tamales, went you over $1, the chips and guacamole, went up $3, and a handful chips and guacamole (that's on top, not separate), the side of pico and queso price was absolutely outrageous. I ended up spending $31 that was supposed to be at least $16.. less food. There weren't signs about to price changes, just black tape everywhere, and I had to did into my change to make sure I could pay, which kept a line behind me and I felt bad for that. Be better. Please.
