Food was ok. Staff was not friendly and barley spoke to us. The hostess walked very quickly ahead of us put menu's on table and walked away (they were not busy).Our waiter was just as uninterested, did not engage in conversation. Saw him 4 times: when he took our order, when he delivered check and when he came to collect payment and then drop my card back off.It was our first time and unfortunately my last.

The place looked great, the waitress are dressed to match looks very good but I had to return my tamales because they were hard as a rock on the ends about 1 inch & a half when I originally told our waiter he said he could bring me sauce to soften them. I said no thank you I would like fresh ones. When he brought the new ones back it was the casing with roast beef chopped up on it. The meat was mostly fat. It was literally the worst Tamales I have ever had! My guy had fajitas said they were ok not something that would make him come back.

The menu has many great choices - you really can't go wrong. The Ceviche appetizer is outstanding. I am local already, but moved to a new house, you sent me a nice letter and coupon - but then you denied me using the coupon for take out. I have a 2 month old, pretty hard to dine in - you might want to rethink that policy. I mean, either way you are getting business? Anyways, keep up the great work - and great food!!

Always love coming here! The staff is very attentive, and the food is delicious. The chips and salsa alone is very addictive. My most favorite dish is the palomilla, and I always order it with yellow rice w/vegetables (I attached a picture). I definitely recommend this dish and this restaurant!

Very fun atmosphere! The shrimp cocktail was the best I ever had! Sweet and heat combination with huge chunks of avocado in it and no taste of horseradish at all. Big shrimp too! The fish tacos were delicious also. I lived the decor and creative atmosphere. So much attention to detail! Can't wait to bring my family and friends here!

I ordered a cuban Sandwich and it was horrible, cold, not toasted. The churros were so greasy and not good. I really like the tortilla chips with the salsa.

A brand new El Leoncito, in a brand new shopping center. Pretty dang nice. The first thing you'll notice when you walk in the door is the atmosphere. Bold colors and designs, unique artwork, and very often, live traditional Latin music in the form of a guitarist. (His quiet mood music is easy to miss, but he's actually an outstanding musician if you pay attention.) We've been to this new location a few times and have found the food to be consistently good, though the service can be sketchy. It seems it's actually better when the restaurant is busy. We've noticed that when we go during the slow afternoon hours, we wait for service, drinks and food just long enough to be a little irritating. However when they're swamped, the service is surprisingly timely. Go figure. At any rate, the prices are reasonable, the food is delicious, the service can be pretty good and of course - the bathrooms are spacious and clean. Very groovy.

Good service, salsa was great but on the spicy side. The fish tacos we're reasonably priced. I had one mango and one cilantro. Both were great just choose your favorite or try both.

El Leoncita in Viera for dinner tonight. Great interior and atmosphere. The music was great, but the acoustics are terrible. Between the music and the patrons, it was loud to the point that I had difficulty understanding the waiter. On the other hand, the Mariscada was outstanding! And our waiter, Corbin, was personable, knowledgable, and helpful. I will definitely be back

Fun atmosphere and pretty decent Mexican food. The margaritas are great as well! There is also a nice seating area outside where there is also a bar. Definitely give this place a try.

Plain and simple... it's a Mexican restaurant. Go between 4-6 and you seat quickly... after that and it is no different then Longhorns or outback around the corner... The food was hot and very good. The salsa was mild to hot with good flavor. The negative reviews made to me are suspicious of local competing restaurants in my honest opinion... Madison was our server. Couldn't ask for a better server then she was... Ask for her... Prices are very good as was the margaritas. I will be returning...

We were rushed thur the whole dinner. The worst service ever we received. We thought they were closing at 4pm. They didn't even ask us if we want dessert . They gave us the check before we finish eating.The food was good. We will give it a try again. Maybe the female server had a bad day..

Always great meals for a great price. Love the two for one specials during the week. Our server Sonia provided great service and was fun to talk to. If you want authentic Mexican food for a great pice with warm service I highly recommend El Leoncito!

First time at this restaurant since moving here 9 months ago. Food was very good. Our server was named Tiana and she was very polite and helpful with our order. That's very hard to find. Will recommend and definitely return.

Tiana is an amazing server. The 5 stars are for her specifically. She took our table because our original server had not been by at all after about 15-20 minutes. She was able to add our table to the ones she already had and was very busy, and she did a fantastic job. We will request her next time we go. Very sweet and understanding personality. Thank you!!!

Probably the most beautiful restaurant I’ve ever been inside of. The food is definitely a 5 star. The ONLY thing keeping me from giving a 5 star review is the cleanliness of the place. The silverware, cups, table and floor were all unclean. A serious pet peeve of mine in an otherwise world class place. But, I will be back

The placed looked great!! Wish the food was as good as the decor!! Viera ? Maybe people in Viera don’t know good food !! Generic chips !! Food went from a can to the microwave that’s why it served so quickly In response to your response the food was so bland you would be better served admitting it came from a can then saying was prepared food If that’s prepared food somebody should go back to culinary school

I went for a work lunch and my party sat outside. Sonia was our waitress and the service was excellent. The food was delicious like always. I live in Titusville and have gone to that El’s a million times. Nice to see one on the south end of the county as well.

Atmosphere is perfect, very nice waiters. Food was okay. Worthwhile going with your family, just don't expect the most exquisite gastronomic experience. My tortilla tasted like the Wal-Mart bought variety. I was expecting them to be made in the restaurant.

We come here at least once a week, sometimes two or three times a week. Love the food and atmosphere. Sonya is the best server and we also love Bruno! Great family dinner place with the kids and also fun for date night. Taco Tuesday is our favorite and definitely try the margaritas.

Visited while on vacation. My friend's favorite Mexican restaurant. Dinner and drinks, great atmosphere. Attentive staff. The music was a little loud so I gave it 3 stars.

We have ordered curbside delivery twice in the past week. Last week, I specifically asked for tortillas for the shrimp that I ordered, and the girl who brought it to my car stated that they were in there...they were not. Today, we ordered chicken fajitas for two. There was no sour cream, lettuce, tomato, or guacamole included. I guess we thought that was a given for a $20 plate- it was not specified in the description, so I guess that is our fault. Overall, we are not happy with the carryout. A little more attention to the little things would be great. I do not know if we will return. It's too bad, because the food is good, and we like to support our local businesses during this time of need, but no one wants to have to drive back and ask for the items that would have made the dish much more enjoyable....

Went in to grab food because we had been running errands and it was too late to go home and cook. The food was really really good. We have had some issue in the past with service, but this night, it was great. Our server did an amazing job, and we all ate well to top the end of a long hard day.

This Mexican/Cuban restaurant is one of the best I've been to in Brevard county. Every portion of my meal was excellent in quality and flavor.Anyone who enjoys Mexican should give this place a try. I did not try a Cuban dish, but will certainly visit again and try that next time.

The worst service I have ever experienced! Food was marginal, the manager did not seem to really care. Never checked back to see how things were going, wrong orders, missing food items from the order, check was completely wrong, charged for drunks we did not receive, no chips salsa or drinks for over 25 minutes. Again manager didn't seem to care. Absolutely no follow up or follow through. Will never go back & hopefully will stop others from going to avoid a horrible experience that cost way too much!

I have been to the Titusville location many times. Now that i live in Viera, i when here. Omg, such a beautiful place. The waitress we had was amazing! I wish i remembered her name. The owner stopped by and chatted. And of course the food and margaritas where delicious. I will make this a regular stop.

If I could give this particular El Leoncito 6 stars, I would; I think the sister restaurant in Titusville is 5 stars, and this one in Viera is even better. I've had meals from both the Mexican and Cuban sections, and couldn't have been happier. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for great food. Service has also been outstanding.

Since take out is the only option right now, you would think they would make sure to get it right. Who wants to drive all the way back to the restaurant because the employees couldn't take a few minutes to make sure it was right.I only got 1 taco in the 2 fish taco meal I ordered. My burrito was supposed to include a side of lettuce and tomato which I did not get. I also called to make sure that they were going to give me salsa with my queso dip that I ordered and they gave me probably the smallest amount of salsa possible. Not happy with the experience.Edit: I ordered during lunch, but paid for the dinner versions.

Great place; great value. Sit at the bar with Kimberly, she definitely know what she's doing! This time I had fish tacos a la carte but I will say the shrimp enchiladas are probably my favorite! You can't really go wrong with anything on the menu.

Best chips I have had from any Mexican restaurant in Brevard. The salsa was not for me... Too soupy and inconsistently hot or mild. The chimichanga I ordered was cooked beautifully and the chicken inside had great flavor. Service was friendly and helpful. I would return again.

Questions & Answers

They don't have a drive through but will package up the food to go

No.

I would call them to find that out

I've seen dogs of all breeds, big and small, on the outside area of the bar, actually very dog friendly place at least again on the patio

They vary. Call to find out.

Our experience was acceptable 8 people.. I agree..not good for larger parties. Place is beautiful, but Leoncitos in Titusville much better. Do not think they are concerned at all with opinions..they have tons of business.

Yes, they have take out.
