In 2008, León participated as a guest artist in a Mexican special entitled Fiesta Mexicana for the US cultural television network PBS, along with Vikki Carr, Alberto Angel "El Cuervo" [es], and the mariachi group Los Camperos de Nati Cano. She was honored by the municipal government of Tlalnepantla as a favorite daughter of the municipality at the 2008 Equinoccio Festival.

In 2003 she made her debut as a presenter on the arts and culture program Acústico, broadcast on Canal 22. Eugenia León has shared the stage with personalities such as Rosario Flores, Pablo Milanés, Marco Antonio Muñiz, Lila Downs, Chavela Vargas, Sin Bandera, José Feliciano, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Armando Manzanero, Los de Abajo, Ramón Vargas, Tania Libertad, and Guadalupe Pineda. Over the years, several musical celebrities, such as Ramón Vargas, Fito Páez, Mercedes Sosa, Willie Colón, and Armando Manzanero have praised her qualities as a singer.

In 2003, she began hosting the television program Acústico on Mexico City Canal 22, where she interviewed Ibero-American music personalities. She performed duets with guests such as Daniela Romo, José Feliciano, Lila Downs, Regina Orozco, Susana Zabaleta, Sonora Santanera, Chavela Vargas, Los Folkloristas [es], Maldita Vecindad, and Amaury Pérez [es].

In 1998, the government of Veracruz presented her with the Agustín Lara medal, in recognition of her interpretations of the composer from that state.

In 1985 she competed with the song "El Fandango Aquí" by Marcial Alejandro [es], as the representative of Mexico at the OTI International Festival, held in Seville, Spain. Eugenia won first place, but there was no time to celebrate, give interviews, or sign contracts, because a devastating earthquake struck Mexico City the day before the final stage of the festival.

She released her first album in 1983, Así te quiero, and toured the Mexican Republic, accompanied by a small group of musicians.

With the support of her sister, León founded the Víctor Jara group, which was dedicated to Latin American folk music. She later joined the group Sanampay [es], composed of Mexican and Argentine musicians and singers, directed by Naldo Labrín, from which she decided to emerge individually in 1982, building a repertoire made up of pieces by contemporary Mexican composers, playing bolero and Brazilian music.
