21 Best Taco Restaurants in Buffalo

“I had a vegetable quesadilla today and it was excellent. Fresh, hot, crispy and great flavor- not greasy. Great choice for lunch in downtown Buffalo!“

“LaVerdad Cafe is certainly one of my favorite spots in the city. Chef creates amazing flavor profiles, meals and deals. Burnt ends, brisket and oxtails are all amazing. Sides, soups and tacos are top notch. Support this business you will not be disappointed!“

“Awesome 10/10 great food with a great atmosphere“

“Best tacos hands down. Well done!!“

“Great experience once again. Emily was our bartender. She remembered us from when we came in last hockey season. So nice, friendly and inviting. Her drinks were superb and the food was incredible. Go visit, ask for Emily and see for yourself. We will be back!“

“Great for a fast and delicious slice of pizza.“

“Placed a large order online - 23 items many ordered with substitutions and ingredient changes/edits - and the restaurant was experiencing high volume of online, drive thru, and in-person orders at the time I came to pickup my order. I waited about 10 minute to receive my order, which I believe was very reasonable given the location being very busy. I observed the manager handle a drive thru order issue with courtesy and professional during this busy period while also treat other customers in the walk-in area with respect and courtesy. I thanked employees for their efforts on my order. When I reviewed my order it was 100% accurate. Kudos to the PEOPLE at the McKinley express location for their work this evening!

Kid-friendliness: I have picky eaters (4) and I placed the order online because the app makes it easy to select and deselect ingredients. Mighty taco makes every menu item very customizable to suit my family’s needs!“

“I took my son for his birthday and was very pleased. Everything was delicious.“

“I have celiac disease and was nervous to try eating here since diagnosed but they checked all the boxes! I believe the girls name was Jayda and she checked to make sure things were gluten free and made sure that gloves got changed before handling my food! There was also an older blonde lady and she was very sweet and double checked to see if a separate order we placed would be gluten free too! Great experience and didn’t get sick due to their care :)“

“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.“

“We was in the buffalo area and was looking for a good pie. Figured we would check it out. Pizza was very good but the sauce was a little sweet for my liking. But if I was in the area again I would have it again.“

“Truck employees at Kenmore Fattey on Thursdays have been killing it. 👍👍👍“

“Food was great! The chicken fingers sandwich was awesome. The fries were ok but not the best thing ever like the other comments are talking about. Pretty good price for the amount of food you get though. Good late night snack after drinking which everyone in the restaurant definitely had been doing lol“

“Great crew! I arrived at 130am was initially told they close which makes sense and I felt bad for showing up so late. As I was turning to leave though I was asked what I wanted (which I new already) and he made it for me! Thank you so much and the diavlo was delicious after not eating all day!“

“Stopped by for a drink… staff friendly and attentive. Beautiful setting with the fire pits on water. Relaxing venue… will be back“

“Jim’s Steakhouse is top-notch from start to finish. The food’s always cooked perfectly — tender steaks, rich flavor, and sides that actually taste homemade. The staff treats you like family, the place feels welcoming, and you can tell they take pride in everything they serve. Easily one of the best spots around if you want a meal that feels special every time.“

“Awesome food every time. Not just the pizza, all of it is delicious and prepared perfectly. Fair prices, as much as can be expected these days. Nice people, always happy and quick to take care of you. Clean bathroom with hot water and good soap and paper towel dispensers. What more can you ask for?“

“Food was hot, delicious and plentiful. Prices are reasonable. The location was great for people watching. My only criticism is that they serve the sloppiest tacos anywhere. They don't drain the taco meat before slopping it on the tortilla so the juice gets everywhere.“
