I usually have their Menudo after Mass Sunday mornings in the winter. I love Menudo and even make it occasionally. My biggest complaint is normally that it is way too greasy. Most of the flavour is of course in the fat, but too much makes many of us have horrible indigestion and ruins the experience. Leija makes perhaps the best most balanced Menudo I have ever bought or made. The menu, to me, is a bit restricted, but all of it is very fresh and well seasoned. I haven't been there this summer, but now that the wx has cooled off I intend to get back to at least my Sunday routine. I am hoping that their menu has expanded. I also must confess that I am a died in the wool Tex-Mex addict, but love basically anything Mexican to eat in any shape, form, or fashion. Their salsa is also excellent as well and is usually a serious barometer as to just how good a Mexican restaurant will be. For some reason, most of the Mexican restaurants over the last few years have gone to cooked/heated salsa from warm to very hot. I absolutely hate that form, but love a fresh simple tomato/Serrano based salsa. Eating at Leija is like sitting in your neighbor's breakfast room for...
Read moreI m so happy I found this gem!! I've had fajitas at fajita Jack's and fajita Pete's and tried a couple other restaurants in Conroe and it only worth their fajitas bland overpriced and barely any food for the money I would definitely not recommend them to anybody.

Read moreDon't ever bring a big family here!!!! Was recommended here by a friend brought in enough people to give them a full day of clientele but instead we were basically asked to leave because we were to much for them to handle evidently! We come in and weren't greeted instead they looked at us like crazy and WE move tables around and CLEANED AND WIPED there tables clean so we can for our family in. We still very nice and politely to try to make conversation with who seemed to be one of the owners we asked "did we take y'all by surprise" and he responded with "you can't be showing up like this" meaning we were suppose to call and make reservation... I'm sorry but your restaurant isn't at that level yet!!!! And with that service I doubt it will ever be. So after his response we asked "should we leave?"
