I absolutely love this place. It's got that dive bar/biker bar feel but with excellent Mexican food. Do not be intimidated by the crustyness of its "hole in the wall" look on the side of route 20, it's most definitely a friendly and inviting place inside with excellent service.
I had the sope dinner with pork and melted cheese on top. First off, the sopes were cooked to perfection. They were light and crispy and filled to the top with a very generous portion of meat. Next was the beans, I'll have to say some of the best refried beans I have had in quite some time. Full of flavor and not bland and out if a can. I will say the rice was so-so, tasty but nothing special. We also a a big bowl of guacamole, chips were good but the guac could have used some salt.
Overall great experience good cheap beer and great Mexican food!
The yelp location is on the wrong side of 49! Food is alright no one under 21!
Kind of a Dive. Â No one under 21 is allowed inside. Â In one weekend we saw a Leroy's food truck at two fairs. Â I guess it is somewhat of an institution. Â Wait staff was very friendly. Â Food was alright, at 8PM on a Friday it was one of the few places on Yelp. Â They have live music sometimes, and it was not too bad. Â If you did not know you can smoke in bars in IN, but the dining room is smoke free.
There is no place, and I seriously mean NO PLACE in the area to get great, fresh, authentic and exciting Mexican food than Leroy's Hot Stuff!!! It is by far some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. Hacienda? Joke. El Bracero? Bigger joke. Leroy's Hot Stuff? THE REAL DEAL! A perfect candidate for the show Diners, Drive Ins and Dives!!!! Looking forward to my next meal there!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review Source:Leroy's has a great vibe and great food. Â It seems to be mostly patronized by regulars/locals, and is not at all touristy or seedy. Â The housemade salsa is very good and definitely try the veggie tacos - the guacamole is excellent! Â
I only wish that they didn't allow smoking inside - it's gross to smell like smoke at the end of the evening, and makes me less likely to want to go out. Â This isn't really specific to Leroy's but to every place in Indiana - but definitely keeps all IN restaurants/bars out of the 5-star category.
The chips and salsa are awesome. Â I really like their sour cream too. Â
I haven't had too much food off the menu because usually I'm there to sing karaoke. Â Billy is there on Tuesdays and Thursday nights and has the best selection of karaoke songs in the area. Â His system is good, he has cordless mics and always draws a crowd!
We were driving back from Chicago this weekend and discovered Leroy's Hot Stuff. The taco shells appeared to be homemade (not the tortilla itself, but the taco), at least they were fresh from the oil when we got them.
I ordered the Taco Dinner - two hard shell tacos with ground beef, beans and rice. I have never seen tacos stuffed to the brim with meat like this before. The cheese, lettuce and tomato basically sat on top of the tacos, because they were entirely stuffed with beef. I was stuffed and didn't quite finish the beans and rice. The beans were outstanding - salty, but oh so good.
My husband ordered beef flautas, which were also fresh out of the oil. He devoured those as well and was happy with his selection.
The chips were delicious, the salsa was OK. Not the best salsa I've ever had, but not horrible either.
People watching was top-notch, but smoking inside the building is still allowed in Indiana, which is why this has a four star review instead of five.
Advice for the newbies - you seat yourselves, so don't wait around for someone to seat you. There isn't a sign, but you'll certainly get looked at by the regulars if you stand around waiting, like we did.
We'll definitely be back to Leroy's and maybe we'll leave with a hat decked out with flames on it too.
I was pleased to find this place on my way back from the dunes a few years back.
Cool concept. Â A mexican restaurant / biker bar roadhouse. Â They have a long bar, stage, pool tables, and a dancefloor area, as well as a separate dining room. Â
Very laid back and friendly crowd.
The food is somewhat americanized, but still very good. Â I am in love with the relish trays they have there, particularly the pickled carrot, onion, & jalapeno stuff.
Nice draft beer selection, although berry weiss wouldn't be my personal choice to fill my taps out, but to each their own.
First off that girl below...I appologize that you were unhappy with Leroys the one time you went there...for everyone else this is a Family owned mexican restraunt with super sweet owners. The Flores family is very laid back and if you have any problems feel free to ask for Leroy Flores himself. He is a very easy going guy. The food is all homemade authentic food. It is delicious. Most of the people in this bar/restraunt tend to be regulars...once you go in there once you tend to stick around however we find that due to the outter look many new commers pass it up mistaking it for a biker bar which it is far from...the only bikers in there are the same ones coaching football and cheerleading for CPW haha. They are just regulars that are extremely sweet and friendly!
Review Source:Leroy's isn't the seedy biker bar I expected, but it wasn't too far off. Â It would be a shame not to include laid-off steelworkers and 21 1/2 year old community college nursing students cruising dudes in "blues" bands. Â
The service is friendly, but it takes a while to get it. Â If you plan to sit anywhere but the bar, be prepared to walk up to the bar anytime you need anything.
The food is good, but not great. Â As far as Mexican goes, I've had much better. Â Finding both Berriweiss and RC Cola in the same place are a little more difficult. Â For this, I give them two additional stars.
