23 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!“

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

“Everything i tried so far is absolutely out of this world good! This is my new favorite spot!!! Thank you for the hospitality and kindness. I will definitely be stopping by more often!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Tried the fish burrito, seasonal during Lent. Delicious! Apple empanada so good. The restaurant was clean. Kiosks for simple ordering. Spacious dining area and kitchen. Staff was nice. A lot of pretty art work on the walls. Option to watch TV. Even an option to order a cold beer!“

“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. 🌮✨“

“I’m from Arizona, lived in Colorado for years too. This place reminds me of home. Bloody Maria’s with mezcal don’t scare the bartender. Margarita glasses like fishbowls. Tacos cecinas?! In Buffalo?! Cmon man, you this is the spot.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Food and staff are amazing!“

“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.“

“Well again yup this was the after effects from Dave and the crew. This was the best Day I’ve had in a while. I’m a 80’s Baby and if you want a steak sub. Come on over on Main Street I’m sorry Jim’s is Jim’s but they on this grill over here 👈 makin it happen“

“Not exactly what I was expecting, but definitely something worth coming back for if I’m ever in this area.

The hoagie was every bit of what she would expect from a meat sandwich + - a genuinely tasty and buttered up crusty edge roll.

Cheese curds, the fries, and the gravy that went on them, all something a little different and definitely something that fed the soul.“

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

“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!“

“Nothing fancy but definitely delicious, it's a bit pricier than I'd hope with some options but overall it's not super expensive, far less so than ETS across the street and in my opinion far better in general. Staff have always been nice and helpful if needed, Food is well above fast food quality and while definitely not healthy food it's extremely delicious. It's also nice that hours go as late as they do. I wish there were more options for those with gluten related allergies and vegetarians but definitely well worth going to if those things don't affect you.

Vegetarian options: Not many options but what's there is good“

“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.“
