Taqueria Leon — Restaurant in San Bruno

myself and a friend recently flew into Sanfransisco airport from CT/NY area on business, and quickly (2min) google searched local places to grab a quick bite to eat. This place popped up , Taqueria Leon, although the photos on Yelp were incorrect (bad and should be changed) we still decided to stop by and give it a try... well for starters We pulled up to something different than what was in photos! presently surprised by the location look and even more so the politeness of the staff.

I looked at everything and decided on three tacos. One pinto bean and cactus, one shredded chicken and one pumpkin flower. I also had freshly made melon juice, or rather agua de melon. The music is a driving techno ranchera as close as I can describe,  the staff is friendly and upbeat. The tortilla lady works the masa with the beat.  Cooks dancing while they cook, customers bopping to the beat, waitresses lip synch and strut around. It’s just a Sunday afternoon @ Taqueria Leon on “the avenue “. Everything was exquisite and it was a very pleasurable and...
