“A small clean and friendly place. Queso Birrias are the best 10/10 !!!! Sopes al pastor are 9/10 . Carnitas Dinner plate 9/10 Guacamole dip with chips are good too . I do recommend this place ! Sadly they don’t have any alcohol but the Horchata is very tasty 10/10 !!! They did informed us they are working on getting alcohol license very soon.“

“We ordered takeout today and the food was delicious. There was only 2 issues. I ordered 2 extra flour tortillas which I didn’t receive. No salsa for our chips. I totally understand forgetting both. Today is Cinco De Mayo and my son that picked up the food said they were so busy people were packed out into the parking lot. Other than those two things I would totally recommend this place. We will definitely order from here again or possibly dine in next time!“

“I had the carnitas it was delicious. It was served with rice, pico di gallo, beans and tortillas shells and it was excellent. My sister had the supreme quesadilla and it was delicious as well. My husband had the beef chimichangas and really enjoyed them. They where crispy and equally delicious. Our waiter was incredible and took great care of our table. We had a wonderful meal and excellent experience.“

“I was very surprised to see the ratings for this place! This was honestly the best pollo con crema I have ever had. Sometimes with Mexican restaurants it will just be quest and chicken. But this was so flavorful with a bunch of other stuff added. The drinks were good too, definitely a little pricey. Our server was the best ever! We came on the day of the eclipse, so it was super busy. However, she was the sweetest person, and everyone at the table agreed. Since this place is right on Elmwood, I would totally come back a agin for the pollo con crema alone!“

“Every single time. Every time! We have the best food, best service, best experience. It is the perfect escape for lunch and dinner. You can tell I’m obsessed. The pineapple habanero, the quesadillas, THE FISH TACO! And duh, margs, top shelf, top experience, Grace Anne is my FAVORITE part. I can’t say enough about this place. If you need to ask, don’t- just go.“

“I recently tried Macho Tacos, and it exceeded my expectations! The Mexican-American blend with fried chicken and subs is a unique and delicious twist. The flavors were outstanding, and the take-out service was quick and efficient. Definitely a 5-star experience!“

“Locals love this spot. I've never been disapointed with a meal here. :) the employees are ? fire!! So friendly and when I've seen things go wrong they are very cool about fixing it. I grew up in Cali so Im always excited to find a yummy cup of horchata. :)“

“All food was good. We enjoyed the chile relleno the most. Wasn't fried with flour and egg whites like most. Was a roasted chile with cheese and a light red sauce. Best thing to eat if you are watching your calories. I've actually started making them this way at home.They are quick, simple and very tasty. Real good with a few crumbles of chorizo.Vegetarian options: Chile relleno is a wonderful choice.“

“We had avocado, steak and fish taco. They were really good. Also margaritas were good. We had mango and passion fruit. Service was great. I didn’t quite like the choice is music and was slightly too loud but this is just my personal preference and I am 42 so I guess that’s that lol!“

“The specialty tacos were ok. They were a little dry. I would go back and try again maybe they had a bad day. But the drinks were amazing. Also, the service took so long. We got our chips and waited for 30 minutes. Ordered our drinks and waited 30 minutes. Got our drinks and waited 45 minutes. Order our food waited 45 minutes waited for our check 20 minutesEverything just took forever.“

“It was a last-minute decision in the midst of hunger, teetering on the brink of hanger. But Lloyd saved the day. And not only did he save the day, but he did it with such a level of prowess & flare that even the taco gods would bow down in his honor. Needless to say, Lloyd Taco Factory knocked it out of the park. Service is efficient, having an order & seat yourself situation going on. They even had a kiosk to order on your own. The atmosphere is casual, relaxed, & brags a unique decor style. And on top of it all, their menu is consolidated to perfection. I got the Dirty South taco (their modern hot take on chicken & waffles gone taco) with a side of Crack-ed Potatoes (Glory in potato form. I can't tell you about it. You have to take a bite for yourself.) and not that my picture does either of them justice, but there was a quiet, yet noticeable trend going on in their food. It's made with quality, layered flavors, & a rich decadence throughout. I left thinking about what I just ate, knowing it was special & should be appreciated as such. So, moral of the story? Lloyd's is a banger.“

“We didn't get to eat here as we just stopped in for a drink while we waited for some friends but I'm giving it 5 stars for one reason: Matty the bartender. We were visiting Buffalo for the UWBHF games and Matty gave us a literal list of places we need to visit while we were there. I think we made it to about half the places he listed but they were all great. And his margaritas and palomas were't too shabby either. If I'm ever back in Buffalo I'm gonna make it a point to come back and eat here. Thanks again, Matty!“

“The menu is vast, and I know every item would be delicious if I only could stop myself from ordering the Holy Guacamole. The chunks of buttery avocado are tossed with the perfect balance of fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeño, and love. Plus, there's no better utensil to eat with than the fresh, warm chips that keep coming to the table. Best of all, everybody who works here seems genuinely kind and happy.“

“Was really surprised when I found out we have a Halal Mexican restaurant. The food and service really blew my mind Highly recommend you pay this place a visit. They’re also open from 4 AM to 2 AM Which is a plus when you get those late night “

“Still a top favorite and inexpensive meal I can always count on to be delicious from ANY Mighty Taco location! Their standard of cleanliness is consistently upheld in this chain and the qualit of their food is top notch in freshness. It’s ALWAYS a pleasure to be able to treat ourselves to a variety of Mighty Taco’s menu items❣️Vegetarian options: Mighty Tacos veggies are so fresh and a nice texture so with their yummy sauce you really don’t even need the cheese ; ) !“

“Shout out for the amazing taco bar and nacho bar today for lunch. Probably one of the business days for you but were appreciative you could still accommodate our large order. Food was amazing and more than enough to feed 25 people. We will be ordering again..“

“The best Mexican restaurant in Buffalo. Is always good to come back! As Mexican is too hard to found the most authentic food. They have taco Tuesday too! I recommend this place so far, any dish will be good. Also the mango margaritas ??TOP.“

“they did put meat in my vegan dish, so they had to remake it but I've been there for YEARS and that was one incident. food is good. Be specific or it'll be the way THEY have it if you like food done a certain way. margaritas are bomb.“

“At Salsarita's, the burrito bowl I enjoyed was not only fresh and tasty but also accompanied by exceptional service. The attention to detail extended to a warm greeting from the manager, enhancing the overall dining experience. It's clear that they prioritize both quality food and customer satisfaction.“

“Had a great time last night at this restaurant. The nachos are amazing as always. Always well put together with the right ratio of chips to toppings and they're not stingey with the queso. The bartender was cool. She warmed up after a few minutes. The decor of the place is cool and they have igloos to dine in if you'd like. Amelia is a star! She was smiling the whole time and made everyone feel very welcome even though she was super busy!“
