In fact Leonor's is a part of my diet :-) I consider Leonor's part of the reason for relocating from Europe. The avocado burger rocks, the beet salad, the flaxseed tea, Emily's chicken sandwich, the Bolivian sauce, the Pizzas, the .... And on top they honor the NoHo card which gives you 15% off and free flaxseed tea :-) Psst! don't tell them I would go there even without the card... - Bo , posted 10/06/06 |

Mmm...Leonor's...SO good. Sometimes nothing else will suffice. I just love their California Burger and Beet Salad. YUM! - strangekat , posted 06/24/06 |

i drive super far to go to leonor's. it's always worth it. portions are generous and prices low. the "chicken" salad pita is delicious, as is the mother lode. iced flax tea is an interesting flavor, and the fresh veggie juice is yummy. - harmony , posted 07/30/05 |

hi there. i have been going to leonor's off & on for around 20 of my 25 years as a vegetarian. the food is really good, old neo-hippie hearty mexican vegetarian fare, faux chicken, faux meat, faux everything that doesnt seem as-if real (not like that stuff in the health food store that is pressed into animal shapes, yuk) but instead is really good. i think the vegan confusion business may have to do w/ the time the restaurant was open. if you go way back, back into the troglodyte days of the current vegan fancy --way, way back, from before this restaurant existed & way past its wonderous conception-- you would find a HORRIBLE difficulty in even attempting a vegan lifestyle. there simply were NO (count 'em, NO) prepared foods that were available --not even loma linda products, those which seemed MOST animal-friendly-- even they had milk & eggs. milk & eggs!! i know. i tried. i have been, years ago, to restaurants whose vegetarian platters -featured- shrimp. oh dear. they-a culpa. but leonor's is not like that. i think it is a pretty honest, family run place. ask & ye shall receive, or at least be told no. & if ye ask & receive, what is given & gotten is among the best vegetarian stuff that this city provides. - °º¤ø edi ø¤º° , posted 01/18/05 |

The food at Leonor's is definitly delicious, however it is not vegan. At this location in particular they are not very forthcoming with their ingredients. The cheese has casein (a milk derived protein) and some of the faux chicken has eggs. I ate here for 2 years always assured it was vegan, it wasn't until I called and said I had a severe allergy to dairy, that they fessed up about their ingredients. It's hard to support a place that's exploiting and disregarding people's beliefs for a few extra bucks. - Jeremie , posted 11/08/04 |

They have terrific vegan pizza, and a wide wide WIDE array of other foods (pretend meat or not). Large vegan section. - Preston , posted 11/03/04 |

Leonor's is a vegetarian and Mexican restaurant. They serve only mock meat and soy cheese.There mock chicken is the best I have ever had, and there soy cheese is deicious. Any vegetarian or Vegan who is always looking for more resaurant's they can eat at will end up eating there on a regular basis! -  Octavia
