“First time at this location picking up a large order. Not only was it ready on time, but the staff was attentive, friendly, clean,and the staff looked extremely organized. The General Manager Sumit even greeted me to make sure everything was right before I took the order. Ive been to most of the WNY Chipotle locations and this was by far the best overall experience. Great job Sumit!!”

“I was once stationed at a military base close to the Mexican border and sampled some amazing Mexican cuisine. I now live in the greater Buffalo area, and have tried many of its so called Mexican restaurant that to my mind were just a tad better than eating at Taco Bell. I recently dined at a restaurant in Cheektowaga call Taqueria Los Mayas… and let me tell you… their food is as close to actually eating in Mexico as you can get. The portions are very generous, and the prices fair. Totally enjoyed the experience.”
