Leslie's Mexican Supermarket

I go here to pickup fresh made corn tortillas,chorizo,avocados huge size,rojo(red salsa),restaurant fresh style tortillas chips, cooked pork(carnitas), cooked onions(cebollas),cooked peppers(pimientos cocidos). They have a small restaurant inside & hot tubs full of cooked meats, you can get Carne asada(marinated beef) for the grill. They also Oaxaca fresh cheese & packaged. It's everything I had in San Diego, California. Sometimes there is a long line & wait in line because it's the best & only one in Springfield that I can find everything I need. A bit pricey but, so is everything else everywhere.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. This is the best Mexican food I've had in Springfield!! Staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The food at the restaurant is incredible! I had the pollo sopes, the chicken was so flavorful, tender, and moist. I got a side of guacamole that was the FRESHEST and most delicious I've ever eaten. The spicy salsa has a fantastic level of spice with so much flavor. Hubby got the birria tacos which were unlike any we've ever had before. The consume was thick and flavorful, the tacos were so meaty, cheesy, and perfectly coated in flavor. We got a couple of tamales, they were not the best we've ever had, but still delicious. They were a little dry, but still so flavorful. We have barely finished our meal, but we can't wait to go back again!

Great market. Masa by the pound, marinated meats and hot tortillas! They also sell hot foods. The best avocados in town.

The traditional taco shop and restaurant in back is amazing! Really good. Very traditional! Menu has lots of choices. Not Tex-Mex do not expect chips & salsa this place is authenic.

I love Leslie’s huge variety of foods and goods! I came in to find Tamarindo straws for an event. ¡Me encanta el ambiente! Definitely coming back for more shopping and lunch.

Just ran in quickly today,, but will be returning. I haven’t seen this kind of market since I left Texas. All the brands I forgot I was missing were in one place. Fresh tortillas, Jarritos, and more. The store was very clean. The staff was friendly. The food in the back smelled delicious. If I hadn’t just had lunch I would have given it a try. Very excited to have found Leslie’s. Edited to update. We returned on Sunday afternoon and tried the little restaurant in back. They served the best tacos we’ve eaten since leaving Texas 20+ years ago. The tamales were delicious as well. We will be repeat customers.

Food is better than any other Mexican restaurant in Springfield. The prices are also better than anywhere else in town. This was my first time in and will be making this a weekly regular. My Spanish is very basic to non existent but had no problem ordering. Staff was super fast and friendly. Food was delicious and fresh even after a 15 min drive home. This is the local spot you should support.

This is a great authentic mexican grocery store in Springfield Mo. In the very back (behind the Pan dulce - mexican pastry section) right hand corner is a small restaurant. It was hard to find but don’t give up looking. We use to go to Leslie’s often when they were near Jim’s Steak House. We didn’t know where they moved too and we were so glad we found them again. This new store/restaurant is definitely bigger than the other location.

Finally got to try this place and it's pretty good. They have tons of prepared/hot/ ready to go (to go) items to choose from. Or, you can order from the menu and dine in. Place has a full blown (big) Hispanic store as well. One good sign about this place: there is always tons of Hispanics choosing this place for their lunch or dinner spot.

Pastries were fresh and authentic if a little heavy on Mexican vanilla. Groceries were varied and carried most essentials. I wish they all were clearly priced. Hot tortillas are available by the door. Also, they sell tostada shells.

best market ever! so so many options with a restaurant inside that also has endless food combos and desserts. its legitimately the best place to get grocery shopping done & have a meal afterwards

Just step through the front doors and you feel like you have been transported out of Springfield. It has every spice, salsa, Mexican ingredient that you would want. A wonderful bakery, deli , and restaurant. I got fresh tortillas that were still warm, both flower and corn. The best pic I have had in a long time a little spicy, but excellent! This is definitely a regular for us .

Restaurant part has delicious carnitas and great service The grocery side has rude help and flour tortillas that usually have mold on them in 48 hours or less Corn tortillas are very good when fresh Red salsa is good.

Has a restaurant inside also , the food was delicious well priced and fast. Nice small Mexican market as well . Will definitely be going back. Was clean and well stocked picked up a few items to cook at home as well. Great selection of piñatas also. They have hot food ready as well for to go.

This was a word of mouth recommendation on this establishment. Upon walking into the store I could smell the aroma of the baked goods (pan dulce). Moving further back I could smell the carne asada and chili. I shopped in the store and bought homemade corn tortillas. We loaded the car and returned for tacos and flautas. This place is for the authentic Mexican food flavor and bakery. Service was exceptional with Spanish and English spoken . You will clean up after yourself at the table but it's well worth it to experience the traditional flavors I've been missing since arriving in Missouri.

This little store doesn't deserve the bad reviews it has. This was the only Mexican market I could find in Springfield (at least by yelp search). I'm from Northern California and was missing my Mexican food, so I came here to get some carne asada for homemade tacos. This was a very typical market that I'm used to seeing, with a pastry section, small produce area, and meat counter. There's a small restaurant on one side as well. Some of the employees don't speak English, but so what? get over yourselves. Although I only know a few words in Spanish, the lady at the meat counter was still very friendly and understood what I was trying to buy. I'll be coming back in the future!

When you walk in the front door the wonderful aromas hit you from the kitchen. They have a great size bakery, diner that had the best mexican food. Steamline w various cooked meats gor carryout including at least 4 different types of tamales. Butcher for cooking your own that also has seafood (octopus & whole fish) plus a huge produce section. I will be starting to not only come here to eat onsite but also grocery shop here. Awesome place!

Husband and I are from southern Cali and this place reminds us of home. We come all the time for food, breakfast pastries and everyday essentials

Authentic and super delicious. Food that is full of flavor. There are options for those who are open to trying new things and they also have some items that are more American/Mexican favorites.

This place, absolutely, doesn't deserve the negativity. Whining about the price you were given from an employee of a completely different store being wrong, or the place being too small and posting negative reviews is just silly. Leslie's is a fantastic hidden gem in Springfield. Don't hesitate to support them. I don't.

Drove a long way to visit this market. We had a huge Mexican market in Arizona, we always bought fresh tortillas, fresh vegetables and pastries. Well this little store was not as we had hoped. Lots of candy and baked goods but not much else. No one asked to help us although did see employees not busy. A huge disappointment for sure. Still hoping to find a bigger market or will have to travel a whole lot farther than Springfield. The cashier did not speak very much English so if you don't speak Spanish she can't help you!

Amazing, huge selection, organized with prices on shelves throughout the store, and all the spices to make our recipes. Fresh produce, meats, tortillas, tamales and much more, made our trip very successful in finding everything we needed at competitive prices. Highly recommend!

No transparency as far as prices. I was referred to this store by a woman I met at Price Cutter. She told me they had low prices on produce, especially avocados, very large ones. She basically said they had large avocados for around $1.00 each, or around that price. However, when I got there, I did not see very much produce that was marked with prices and there were no avocados. When I asked if they had any left, a woman went to the back of the market and brought out two large ones. When I asked how much they were, she said she didn't know. This was two days after I was quoted a $1.00 or so from the woman at Price Cutter. The items on the shelf, such as canned goods, were more expensive than those you could find at Price Cutter and other local stores, and some were not even marked with prices. When I got to check out, I found out that the avocados were $3.00 each! What a huge increase from a day or two ago. The whole reason I had gone to the store was to purchase avocados. I thought this was a very high increase in price for avocados from a day or two before. And, to be quite honest, avocados were cheaper at Price Cutter! The trip was a total waste of my time and money. You might be interested in their cooked Mexican cuisine, but be wary of their prices!
