    Terrible experience at the 114th St Omaha location. I ordered Super potatoes locos was very disappointed. It was just a box of burnt tots. Not only is it not the super potatoes, but they were inedible because there is styrofoam melted all over them. They melted thru the bottom of the box.

    It's been awhile since I have been here, but I have been always liked it. It was especially good in my younger days when I needed some late night food. I still grab a bite at DeLeon's occasionally and it's probably time to get back for some authentic Mexican food. Additional Review (August 2020) - still delicious!

    Our service was very horrible. We placed an order for 4 people in our agency and the staff got the order wrong and refused to fix it without us placing another order. The manager did not remedy the situation and in fact he and his employees are very rude. When we asked for a receipt we were told that they were out of paper! Not ever going back there again!

    The quality of this food is a lower than zero. I don’t know what happened to them. Their meat is literally revived by soaking it in water. It has no taste to it whatsoever and it’s DRY! The photo shows it all. The chips are stale and I have tried them three times in the last few months and it’s ridiculous. They used to be so good and now they don’t even try. It’s so close to my house that I always choose this one over Abelardo’s, but I will be going the extra distance to get quality food.

    DeLeons-Davenport location is our absolute favorite Mexican restaurant in Omaha! The food is always fresh & delicious. Servers are also great and always efficient, happy and polite. Can’t wait to return soon!!

    My go-to place for hard-shell tacos! These tacos taste great every time I order day or night. Never soft, never greasy - just right. I have been to 50+ Mexican restaurants and they are at the top of the list for my favorite dish.

    Opened 24/7, great food, & friendly staff. Typically quick to get food out but are occasionally slow. I've had several items on their menu and have yet to be disappointed b by a main dish item- the beans are a little bland. My go-to fav is the chimichanga!!

    Great food, though throw a little salt and pepper on it. Noting fancy, but delicious. The salsa bar is a nice bonus. Huge portions. Try to do cash, if you can, and save a few cents.

    I only come here because it’s close to my workplace. Every time I come to the drive thru the employee is rude and quick to cut me off, where I’m not even done telling them my order, and they’re already telling me to pull up to the window. Then I pull up, and still rude. The food is mediocre already, and with that type of customer service, you’ve lost my service. I wish there was an Abelardos near here.

    Completely inedible. Cold all the way through. Cheese feels like it came straight from the fridge and not cooked AT ALL. Do you want food poisoning? No napkins, no utensils.

    TERRIBLE GUEST SERVICE!!!! I ordered a number 10 and went to second window to pay. I asked to add horchata large, I gave him my card. He gave me my food and receipt and waited for my drink , he said “ what else you need?” I said my horchata please. He literally said “ no, you only ordered food at first window , so no drink for you .” I asked him to add it before the charge and I had no issue paying. Am I confused or what? Anyways, I won’t be back and I love their food.

    I cannot believe you guys had the audacity to give me BURNED tortilla chips??? Why on earth would you do something like this? I taste one chip and almost threw up! You should never serve a customer anything burned what is wrong with y'all? The rest of my order was good but I specifically ordered this as a side because I love chips and guac but when I saw this I was in such disbelief. Very disappointed...

    Good drive thru food. Good, friendly service. Their red salsa they give with each order is spectacular, but they have this VERY weird thing where they refuse to give you more than one. Its the best thing at their restaurant, and they won't let us have it. Like I can't even buy another one. Every time I go there, I ask for two of the red salsas instead of one red and one green. If its the guy at the window, he will argue with me like you don't like the green? If its the girl, she will smile at my request and then just give one red and one green anyway. It feels like i'm on a reality show or something. One time i asked the guy for two reds and after i drove away i looked in the bag and he gave me two greens and no red. Unbelievable.

    I ordered two burritos from their drive through menu. My shrimp burrito was decent, especially with the provided sauce packets. I also had a 'mixed' burrito that was INCREDIBLY wet. The tortilla on one half of the burrito was practically dough. The beef and veggies inside were okay, but it was too soaked to enjoy really at all. I enjoy a burrito with a bit of liquid, but this one left a puddle on the paper. It fell apart in my hands. I would not recommend this establishment.

    Their menu seems to be a copy of Abelardos. So I ordered the Arizona burrito. It tasted off. It tasted greasy. It tasted like dirty grease. Bought one to share with my wife. Cut it in half. It tasted bad to me. I tried a 2nd bite and it still tasted bad. I kept my opinion to myself and just simply waited to see what she thought. She confirmed it also tasted bad. It wasn't worth finishing we threw it in the trash and decided to not go back.

  • 1/5 Antionette M. 1 year ago on Google
    The burritos were burnt. The cashier gave us 3 minutes to look at the menu than the cook came to the window and yelled hurry up I'm the cook because the order take could not speak wnglish well enough to take our order and was very rude! I will Facebook the experience so no one has to eat burnt food tasteless musher food! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE that left a bad bad taste in our mouths.

  • 3/5 Terri P. 11 months ago on Google
    Second time we’ve been to 118&W Center location and both times our order was screwed up. I recommend you check your food before you drive away to make sure it matches your order. Food is pretty good though.

    I love the guy who always says,” What can I get you amigo?!” and slaps me five when I come in. He’s awesome! I always get the Nebraska Burrito and it is AMAZING! Love this place.

  • 5/5 Robbie G. 1 year ago on Google
    Breakfast burritos are awesome. I got the hash brown burrito and it was awesome. I was just stopping through town and saw this place. I will be back.

  • 5/5 Renee P. 1 year ago on Google
    Love De’Leon’s. They have the best hot sauce and my absolutely favorite item is the Chile Relleno, it’s seriously the best I’ve ever had. I will always go there. It’s so delicious. So happy I found a place with great food. Five Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • 5/5 Will L. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is excellent. Monster burritos and breakfast burritos that are packed with flavor at great prices. Service is solid as well.

    Came and ate here with my bf. My chicken on my quesadilla was RAW. It looked like canned chicken. Threw up as soon as we left. Asked for a refund and got a major attitude about it pretty much had our money thrown at us. Don’t eat here.

  • 3/5 Rick R. 1 year ago on Google
    Well, I guess I should have seen the reviews before I ate here. Both the chicken and beef enchiladas lack flavor. Same goes to the carne asada mini taco. Carnitas mini taco was good, but for the size it should definitely be less expensive. Rice and beans need better seasoning as well. Employees working there look like they hate their job. Not very friendly. I'm being nice with the 3 stars. It's more like 2 1/2. Last thing is a Mexican restaurant should always have fresh limonada. I'm from south Texas and Hispanic, so yes I've eaten a lot of great Mexican food.

  • 5/5 Ayla D. 1 year ago on Google
    Went in, ordered and about 10 seconds later my breakfast burrito was ready! I got the Nebraska burrito and it’s massive and absolutely delicious! The salsa is also extremely flavorful! Wish the de Leon’s back home was this fantastic!

  • 4/5 Klearn & F. 6 years ago on Google
    I really liked that it's open late if not all night. The food was a little plain but fresh and made of real stuff. Like you could tell the lettuce was just recently shredded. The obvious star of the show was the salsa bar. The pico was super tasty. Also the cool hispanic flavored drinks looked good. I will probably be going back at least once again for those and maybe to try the seafood.

  • 1/5 Elizabeth F. 1 year ago on Google
    Had to go home and reason the chicken burrito. Dumped it all into a bowl and had to add my own salsa because the 'mild' salsa i asked for was thinner than water and HOT.

  • 1/5 Eric R. 1 year ago on Google
    You never know what you will get at this location. I have been charged a wide range of prices for the item I always get. Some times it is really good and other times it is terrible. It seems it is a 50/50 chance that the food will be great or not edible. Today my order was completely cold. The potatoes were still frozen. I think I am finally going to give up on this location.

    Went through drive-through to get a number seven and they acted like we were Bothering them and the girl was in a hurry and this is at 1 o’clock in the afternoon and my burrito was mostly green pepper and onion and it was supposed to be beef. It only had two pieces of beef in it talk about getting ripped off and the only reason I gave them a one star is because they didn’t have a area for zero. and probably won’t be back to that restaurant as you can see in my photo I had to tear the burrito apart to find the meat and there was only two little pieces

  • 5/5 Robin R. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    We go for the burritos. The part of town we moved to is devoid of a good drive thru option for burritos so we drive all the way from aksarben across town to hit our favorite spot. Can't wait for the location on 84th and center to open up! Thanks a bunch!

    DeLeons has always had great mini tacos, still do. But don't order the green chile plate what a big disappointment unless you like your pork meat in one container and 6 green chile salsa packets included so you can mix it yourself. Everyone knows you simmer your meat and chile together.at least the rice and beans were good.
