De Leon's Mexican - Omaha Locations
Going into the old Godfather's space on the SEC. Â It's not open yet, but they're doing work inside and there is already signage outside. Â Sign says it's open 24 hours - anyone know anything about it?

The joke in Lincoln about DeLeon's is that almost every time a local gas station/convenience store, strip-mall tenant, etc. goes under, DeLeon's is there to rehab and reopen them as one of their shops. Â They've grown quickly, ten or twelve locations in Lincoln (I think they started here), in the last few years. Â Most, if not all are open 24 hours. Â Their labor, real estate (of the places I've seen) food ingredients, etc. has got to be low. Â I've never been in one, but of the people I know that have, most all say the breakfast burrito is good. Â That opinion and the fact they're open 24/7 means popular drunk food.

Dining review: DeLeon’s offers vast menu and cheap, tasty street tacos that rival South O’s
Sarah Baker Hansen - World-Herald staff writer wrote:DeLeon’s has a menu that takes some keys from South Omaha food trucks and some from Americanized Mexican menus. Ultimately, though, it checks the most important boxes, especially for late-night drive-thru cuisine: It’s cheap, fast, flavorful and filling.

Re: De Leon's Mexican - Omaha Locations
DeLeon's has a very similar menu to Abulardo's. The food tastes about the same, too. Which is to say, muy bueno.

Re: De Leon's Mexican - Omaha Locations
And that is a high endorsement! i will have to try this place out then. I thought it was just another 'Taco John's' but if both you and Sarah give it a thumbs up...nativeomahan wrote:DeLeon's has a very similar menu to Abulardo's. The food tastes about the same, too. Which is to say, muy bueno.
I guess then, that this is a huge plus for the Saddle Creek development and the UNMC food prowl, and with the new hotel just starting up (and maybe a second hotel coming afterwards) a nice range of options.
Qdoba, Wild Hog, Panera, Mimi's all the way up the Salween and down to La Casa this stretch of Saddle Creek is turning into a nice food Mecca!
Edit - I now see that this was pulled from the Saddle Creek thread...

Re: De Leon's Mexican - Omaha Locations
Did the Saddle Creek DeLeon's just go out of business?
Re: De Leon's Mexican - Omaha Locations
I stopped by there yesterday...One guy was trying to run the whole thing by himself but they were open for business

Many moons ago when I worked for Taco Bell, I was at this location when it was a Hot 'n Now.Coyote wrote:Did the Saddle Creek DeLeon's just go out of business?
Looks like the property is for lease too.

Re: D'Leon's Taco Rico (168th & Harrison St)
I see D'Leon's is opening another location in the southwest corner of 168th & Harrison. Their website says "Coming soon."
Also, is it "De Leon's", "DeLeon's", or "D'Leon's"? They all seem to get used interchangeably.

Re: De Leon's Mexican - Omaha Locations
I swear that D'Leons on 114th has messed up my order nearly a half-dozen times in a row. Nobody else in the family has this issue...but I never get what I ordered when I get home. (And my wife doesn't understand why I don't want to go there again.)

Re: De Leon's Mexican - Omaha Locations
I saw a DeLeon’s sign yesterday up on an old LJS building near 84th and Hascall.
I think their food is interchangeable with Abelardo’s. Basically Mexican street food served indoors. It certainly isn’t gourmet Mexican cuisine, but you get what you pay for.

Re: De Leon's Mexican - Omaha Locations
Yep. Have to agree here. Messing up my order and their food is not at Abelardos' level as others have said. Tried the 114th street location several times and ordered simple things like tacos only to have them screw it up. They are off my list as well.HskrFanMike wrote: ↑Fri Feb 17, 2023 4:51 pm I swear that D'Leons on 114th has messed up my order nearly a half-dozen times in a row.

Re: D'Leon's Taco Rico (Multiple Omaha Locations)
Yep. Abelardo's, Lina's, and D'Leon's are all very similar.nativeomahan wrote: ↑Sat Sep 23, 2023 3:26 pm I think their food is interchangeable with Abelardo’s. Basically Mexican street food served indoors. It certainly isn’t gourmet Mexican cuisine, but you get what you pay for.
