Small portions and lackluster food.

Went here with two friends for dinner and we had a good time, however the tacos were far too pricey for the size. The tortillas also lacked structural integrity which resulted and a messy eating experience.

The El Camino bowl with pork is my favorite! Throw some extra ceeeeelantro on that bad boy and *chef's kiss* ... thank me later! The staff is friendly and helpful, and they return your smiles and good cheer. Love Lloyd!

Lloyds was so fun years ago. The Hertel location has gone downhill, possibly already hit the bottom. The quality of the food is lacking, the portions are terrible for the price, nothing seems fresh.
The worst part is by far the last couple times we've been to the bar (and our last few visits were spaced out due to not wanting to go back right away due to service). Every time we go, the bartender working is 100% more interested in chatting and gossiping with friends at the bar than paying attention to the fact that our drinks have been sitting, empty, for 20 plus minutes... Last time we were there around 1:30pm on a Monday... So not a busy night or day.
It is every single time. Its terrible. Where are the own, the folks in charge? Do you ever visit this location or even care about quality or service? It's such an utter disappointment...We used to take out of town guests to Lloyds, order delivery, go to Hertel, visit the food trucks... Now, it seems like they don't care at all. Also... Clean the bathrooms, please. Like actually spend some time. It's gross and dingy.

I’ve been a fan of Lloyd for years, and every time I see their green taco truck parked at an event or parked on the street, I have to stop. They never disappoint.
I ordered the Dirty South taco and a braised beefburrito with their house chimi sauce — absolutely incredible. The meat is super tender, the flavors are bold but balanced, and everything tastes fresh. They also have great vegetarian options (the “Skinny Thai”) is a must-try if you’re into that). on the truck Carrie is always friendly, upbeat, and fast — even when there’s a line. You can tell that she works hard but still keeps a good attitude. Carrie is quick, and the food is always hot and fresh, even when they’re slammed.
Bonus points for:
Consistent quality (been eating Lloyd for 6+ years, still amazing)
Creative menu items
Affordable prices for the portion sizes
That chimi sauce — honestly addictive
If you’re in Buffalo and see a Lloyd truck, stop what you’re doing and order. Seriously. You won’t regret it.

I literally order the same thing 90% of the time how do you mess it up? When Lloyds first came on the scene I enjoyed their flavors and now it’s just “meh”. What I truly despise is when I order nachos to go you put my protein in with my queso and for the amount of money you pay and what I paid today it’s not enough protein or queso in this by a long shot! What happened!? It’s always off when I dine here it lacks the consistent flavors it once had. I also didn’t get my rocket sauce with my order so and the presentation was unappealing. This really is disappointing.

Delicious food, and quick service! Amazing variety, not your average taco shop. The full service bar and connected ice cream shop are awesome! We will definitely be coming back.

Ordered take out & my food was a hot mess.
The fillings for one of my tacos were just dumped in a container & a tortilla slapped on top.
Another one was a mess & the tortillas falling apart.Super disappointed.

Lloyd's is that is serving up street tacos. While they do have more standard street tacos, they are most known for their integration of classic American dishes like a fast food hamburger and a chicken and waffles dish. They serve that alongside craft beers, classic cocktails and a few other dishes. Their margarita was absolutely divine, completely fresh without all the sugar. I found the ordering style not as much to my liking, with front end attendants who take your order, but generally you do all the rest. For the price point, they still spend their time soliciting lots of gratuities.
