D’leon Taco Rico

Tried out this place with friends who like it but I wasn’t really impressed with this location. It’s super small inside so the drive-​thru would have probably been a better choice than choosing to eat inside. I felt really unclean sitting inside. Mainly because there were more flies in that little space than I could count. I was concerned that one might make its way into my food.
The food was okay even though it was hot and fresh. I had to wait extra long for my burrito because the cook accidently cooked the wrong thing (I saw them correct it before bringing it out to me). Kuddos to the front guy for his extra effort and attention to detail to make sure it was correct before bringing it out.
Overall, I honestly think my impression of this place was tainted by the flies. But, if I had gone through the drive-​thru then maybe it would have been easier to overlook.

Cheap, crappy Mexican food. The quality is not the best, and is it me, or do they drown everything in cheese? Is that a requirement or something to work here? Drive thru speaker is awful, and the quality of the meat is barely passable. What they have going for them, is its cheap and they have a few good locations. All that said, its probably still better then TacoBell or Amigios.

Very cheap food, but apparently you get what you pay for. Tried it a few times, got a different thing each time and I wasn’t impressed by the quality of the food or the flavor. Maybe it’s just not my cup of tea.

Some locations are better and faster than others (48^th and Vine is the best), but all of them provide delicious, inexpensive Mexican food. It’s the quintessential «late night» food.
My favourite is the #18: Two Grilled Chicken Burritos with Refried Beans and Rice. It’ll cost you like $ 7.50 and leave you stuffed. Get tons of the red sauce.
The only major probably with D’Leons is communication. The drive-​through speakers often mangle words and some of the employees, as kind as they are, do not speak English very well. But if you are patient, you will be rewarded with some wonderful guilty-​pleasure cuisine.

We love all the D’Leon locations here in Lincoln. There are at least 4 or 5 now. The burritos are HUGE, inexpensive and very good. The guacamole is good and the smothered chile relleno burrito is out of this world. Prices are not bad at all and the kids love the quesadillas. We have 2 locations somewhat close to our house, but our favorite is in an old Burger King which is a little bit of a drive and not in the best neighborhood (off 27^th and Holdrege). We always order plain chips with a side of guac. I don’t care for their salsa, it’s too hot with little flavor… and I like spicy salsa.
The service is very slow, so don’t expect «fast food» when you go. They honestly have the best tortillas in town. Order one on the side, you won’t regret it!

Locations of this franchise vary greatly in quality but I can attest this location is the best for me. The fish burrito’s are lovely and plump with a tangy mayo type sauce and coleslaw, sounds funny I know but it’s great. I think the fish is Cat Fish and for $ 5 it’s a steal. I also enjoy the Grilled Chicken Burrito when I’ve had a few beers.
This place is not to be considered anything other than quality fast food. The service is swift and polite. Their daily specials are cheap and it’s a vast step up from Amigo’s or any other 24 hour a day fast food place.
Took a friend from So Cal there for lunch one day and he say’s it’s as good as any family owned Mexi fast food place he had ever eaten. I was proud to have taken him there.

D’Leons is awesome! I usually get some kind of burrito because they’re huge and they’re less than $ 5. I’m also a big fan of the spicy sauce they give you for free. Open ²⁴⁄₇ and tastes great for a super cheap price. Wayyyyy better than getting a greasy burger and fires! This is my go-​to place when I’m craving fast food.
I have found that the N 27^th one usually has the fastest service, but the 48^th one gives you even bigger portions. 4 stars because I have found chewy chicken/​chicken bones in my burrito a couple times (both times at the N 27^th one).

Yes, the one on 27^th is NOT the best. But if you go to the one on 48^th and Vine… OOOOOOOOOOH MAN! That is the BEST place to go in town. Seriously. I am from Omaha and when I first heard of it, I was not impressed, then I ate it. This place is open 24 hours and it is consistenly delicious, fast, and friendly. I get the Country Burrito (cheese, potatoes, sour cream, and eggs) you can add chicken, beef or pork if you’d like but I love it the way it is. The potatoes are fresh, the tortilla is huge and fresh, the eggs are scrambled perfectly, the cheese is melted and the sour cream is cold. I usually pair it with a Horchata (mexican drink that tastes like the milk after you have a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch). It is great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or after a night downtown. This place takes the cake for fast Mexican food. It is comparable to any sit-​down Mexi restaurant. The portions are perfect, sometimes too much (which is worth the money bc leftovers are great!)
I give it 6 out of 5 stars!

As with all the D’Leon’s stores, this is a kind of dingy hole in the wall that has seen better days. The food is fine for the genre (the genre being quick Mexican food with a high calorie to dollar ratio, but limited subtlety). Try not to think too hard about how many miles on the treadmill the quesadilla just set you back.
