26 Best Mexican Restaurants in Buffalo

“I went to lunch with my 12 and 6 year old boys. Fresh and delicious chips and salsa. I got the lunch portion Chimichanga and the boys got ground beef tacos. Everything was absolutely delicious and very fresh. The guacamole that topped the salad with my meal was excellent (wish I would have ordered a side of guac - next time for sure). My picky boys cleaned their plates and we shared a slice of tres leches after - OMG the best cake I've ever eaten!! Highly recommended.“

“really great food and friendly staff! Will visit again!“

“The only restaurant in Buffalo with a tasting menu worth that name. Since we discovered it just after the pandemic, we have been there close to a dozen times. It never disappointed!“

“I'm hooked on this Mexican restaurant. The margaritas are the best in the city, the grub's quick and tasty, and their homemade hot sauce is ridiculous. The staff's also super knowledgeable and friendly, so it's a solid spot to take out-of-town guests who are hungry and thirsty.“

“Reminiscent of Gramma Mora's, the food is that good. Real Mexican I've only had a few places in Buffalo. Portions are generous and delicious. Drinks are top notch too.
I loved the mole although it was a bit sweet, only place we've been that even had mole as a choice. Get there early, place folkys up fast.“

“The food is good. You pay a premium price for it being so close to downtown. The location is the only thing justifying the price. I paid $90 for my spouse and I to have lunch on a Tuesday. Small queso, small margarita, veggie fajitas, a few tacos that we had to add sides to, waters.
Its one of the better options in the city. But I've had better Mexican food at multiple restaurants in the suburbs. I asked for no salt on my margarita- got tons of salt. Veggie fajitas had some unchewable pieces of broccoli stems and tomatoes that were reduced to skin and mush. Server said tacos were 2.50 for Tuesday, didn't tell us Asado tacos weren't included before or after ordering them. We felt rushed out of there despite it being empty, because they kept trying to take our food and drinks away before we were done.
Despite all of this, we've been here before and had a great time with a bill half that price and no pressure to hurry. Not sure what happened this time. But again, at least its one of the better options when you're stuck in the city.“

“people ask me why I haven't gone to other Mexican restaurants other than Gramma Moras,the thing is I have gone to other Mexican restaurants and none of them come close to Gramma Moras,always fresh and consistent“

“had a bad week. needed a night out with my best friend. el Palenque was the perfect fix on my Friday night. the waitress was so kind and patient. we sat there for hours with our margaritas catching up and decompressing from our mom lives. it was the most relaxing night out. we ordered some food enjoyed some drinks and talked and laughed until close. we will be back for another pitcher and yummy foods“

“The food here is always fantastic! I have visited several times, and every experience has been consistently great. I even brought a few coworkers who had never tried it before, and they were instantly hooked. They enjoyed it so much that they were already asking to go back the very next week. That says it all!“

“As a part of the Arts and Poetry Scene in Buffalo, I'm always looking to support as many businesses as possible and that can work up an appetite. I always feel welcome when I drop by and I'm absolutely certain my favorite items from the menu are the Quesadillas!! Best I've had in town!! The staff are extremely courteous and pleasant to work with!! The atmosphere is vibrant and energetic. If you're in the Elmwood neighborhood please patronize!! I'll certainly be back myself!!“

Vegetarian options: Loved the tofu taco!!!!!

Dietary restrictions: I loved the way I could order light rice. My husband wasn’t with me, but being a diabetic, he should get no rice and just beans. He’ll be thrilled that he can.“
