22 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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“Best tacos hands down. Well done!!“

“Great food, great service, and a friendly, attentive staff. The menu is authentic with a really nice variety, and everything we’ve tried has been delicious.

One of my favorite things is that they offer fresh chips and salsa — and they do it right. It’s always a win when that’s on the table. The service is welcoming and makes you feel taken care of without being rushed.

I don’t go out to eat very often, but when I do, this will be one of my local regular spots. It’s also super conveniently located near my house, which makes it even better. I’m happy to support this place and definitely plan on being a regular for many meals to come. 🌮✨“

“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!“

“Not all Mexican food is the same and this place has exceptional food. I’ve been here a few times and no matter what I order it’s great. A variety of drinks is available including frozen margaritas and nonalcoholic options. Definitely worth going.“

“Mighty Taco in Buffalo is a fun local favorite and a must-try if you’re looking for a quick, tasty Tex-Mex meal. The food is filling, flavorful, and has that unique Buffalo hometown feel you won’t find at the big chains. The burritos, tacos, and signature items are packed with flavor, and the staff was friendly and quick.

It may not be traditional Mexican food, but it has its own style and a loyal following for a reason. Great place to grab a casual meal and experience a Buffalo classic!“

“Food and staff are amazing!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Jim's Steakout is a must for me every time I visit the States! I always make a stop for their hoagies and Doritos taco bags. They never disappoint. This trip I got 2 hoagies and 3 Doritos taco bags, and everything was fresh, loaded, and delicious. Definitely one of my go-to spots whenever I'm across the border!“

“In town for hockey tournament at river works, ordered on a thursday night right before close as we got into town late and they were one of the only spots open. Sacrilege to order 30 min or less before close and yet when I arrived at 1150pm on a 0 degree night, the gentleman behind the counter greeted us and handed us our food, I apologized for the last minute order and thanked him for taking it. He was genuinely nice and thanked us for the order. I don't want to tell the owner how to run their business. I grew up in it and understand completely how it sounds, but bartending and serving most of my life to not have a tip option, it is just an option. I wouldnt be here without the generosity my dad's customers paid me so I would love to see this added. The food was amazing so much so we ordered again today and this time I brought extra cash to tip for the other night and today, and thanked the gentleman again for his service the other night. I lived in philly for 2 years tried all the best spots, Jim's is right up there with them if not better quality. I apologize I don't have pictures of the food, its because it was devoured by the time we got back to the hotel at lecom, we'll done Jim and most importantly the crew that makes it all go, we will definitely be back!“

“I'll give it a total of four stars.. it has kind of improved, I don't really like the food from the one on Elmwood Avenue & delavan Ave. in Buffalo, but for some odd reason, I can just tolerate at like this particular location.“

“Food and staff are amazing!“

“Walked in, Used the bathroom. Clean and Neat.
I then walked to counter, looked at the menu. Asked some questions...

Chose the Small/Reg Philly steak and 3 beef soft shell tacos deluxe.

Sat down by the window and checked my phone, as staff prep orders and handled drive thru. Very smooth and steady ..but quiet.
I don't recall voices from staff. Very Clean

They Called my number and placed my bag on the counter. I got my bag
and drove home.

Home and sat.

Thought Taco's for dinner.

I miss Texas sometimes. Hummm.

I opened the first wrapper. Got a paper towel. I took it out of the wrapper and used a paper plate. 2nd one I put on plate still wrapped.

I ate two of the tacos. Wow...Juicy...

The deluxe items were fresh, crisp, clean. Excellent.

But then. I went and got the third one.
Hummm. Consumed them, slowly and just enjoyed the taste.“

“Probably the best Jim's location. It's seats at the corner of Elmwood and Allen. Great food! I had the steak hoagie 8inch about $12..overflowing with meat. Worth every penny! Good atmosphere to seat and view the outside..Very clean ..bathrooms can be entered only with a lock code...Get your subs here!“

“Great food, no doubt, but hearing what I believe was the manager correcting the two workers, was unsettling. They must have been newer employees by the way she was addressing them, but I'm not used to hearing reprimands like that in front of customers. I waited like 25min for my food, bit annoying but it was delicious! I think I'll choose a different location next time.“
