I could eat these tamales every day. Best place in town. Don’t buy the plate though because for rice and beans you’ll pay an extra 8 dollars.

Fantastic food. Stopped in because our spidey senses were tingling, and were rewarded with delicious veggie tamales, homemade guac, and an amazing smothered burrito loaded with tender lamb. So good.

Delicious Tamale. Decent Menudo ... It was chock full of tripe and collagen, so it was great as a flu-recovery soup, but it was a little light on flavor.

Always in pursuit of the gritty underbelly of real deal Mexican food, I saught out Leonel's Tamales when we found ourselves in Taos, NM recently. On the day that we are dropping in, something is up in the kitchen and they only are selling tamales, nothing else from the menu. It was for the tamales we were coming, so that is ok by us. Sold either by the dozen at $22.25, 1/2 dozen or single at $2.50, they come out in a clear plastic bag maybe freshly steamed up from the back having been made earlier that day I suspect. Served on a paper plate with a crappy napkin, I can tell these are the real deal. Piping hot, not large, but real deal tasty, we thought these were pretty good. I had two vegetable ones and my husband had one pork and one chicken. I would say worth the buzz and a worthy tamale. Corn husk is good. My 3 rating is simply because we could not have anything else because the rest of the menu was mysteriously unavailable to us....and also their bathroom is a unisex single stall and notably has room for improvement and a deep clean. I would return again if in the area and hopefully maybe to a slight bathroom remodel.

I'm from out of town, here working.Asking around, Leonel's came highly recommended.So, I checked it out.WOW! Once again, it's the Mom and Pop places doing it the best. The food was spot on, and the service was friendly. Prices were more than fair.I'm now a big fan.I plan on going back, often!Check this place out, I'm sure you will love it too!Randy Boxx

Worth the stop! Good corn to filling ratio. Had “Tamales de Dulce” which I’ve never seen before and was excited about - and it was good!
I picked up some pork with red Chile and some green chile chicken tamales for the family. The tamales are just the right balance of masa and meat. You can't go wrong with these tamales.

I was happy with my food. The meat was nice, the salsa good. But the tamales stole the show. I'd happily return when I'm next around. Even the corn tortillas were great

Not much on ambiance but thats not what we were looking for, the best Navajo taco and this place has it. I had the ground beef and my husband had the lamb. The fry bread was freshly made and the veggie all fresh. It was more than i could eat. Will definitely revisit on our next trip to Taos. Fast service
