Finally. Jen and I have discovered a good Mexican place in Saratoga Springs. Leon’s Mexican Restaurant on Crescent Street knows good food. Run by jockey Filiberto Leon, the restaurant makes the best burrito in town. Of course, there are only three Mexican restaurants from which to choose and we’ve not yet been to the third (only the one that makes the biggest burrito I’ve ever experienced).
Still, we realized tonight that we hadn’t had good Mexican food in the seven weeks since we left San Francisco. So along with a good margarita and sangria, we were relaxed and delighted to have discovered this gem. All the ingredients were super-fresh and it really showed. The chips were homemade. The texture of the burrito actually reminded me of burritos made by Tommy’s on Geary in San Francisco. It’s great to have found a taste of home here in upstate New York.
In other news, I purchased a new winter coat today for the first time in…oh, about nine years.

Thank you so much for the post of our restaurant Leon’s. Being a new business, it’s great to see such a great comment it is so encouraging and makes me feel good because my husbad takes a lot of pride in our food and works hard to keep it that way. If you stop in again, please be sure to let me know who you are.
THANKS AGAIN!!!
ROBERTA AND FILIBERTO LEON
BY THE WAY WE JUST WON BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT IN SARATOGIAN NEWS!
