20 Best Mexican Restaurants near Fort Erie

“Some people complain about price..... unbelievable. Just go to the store and get everything to make a burrito it will almost cost $13 ( that's how much they charge you). That's why businesses struggle in this community because people expect to get meal cheaper than they would spend in store to make on their own. They don't understand that after paying labour, food and overhead they are not really making money. All these complainers should stay home and fry eggs. I just had burrito today and it was so tasty.“

“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.“

“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!“

“My husband and I stopped for some drinks before a concert. The staff were very polite and welcoming. We sat at a table but quickly moved to the bar. The bartender/manger was awesome. She engaged in conversation with us as she prepared for the evening dinner crowd. The drinks were very good! We had regular margaritas and Tecate and tequila for happy hour. She let us try the infused honey for the spicy margaritas and it was so good! (Wish I would have ordered one!) next time! Great place to chill and have a beverage. Love the decor!“

“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!“

“(repost of accidental review from other location in East Amherst from Oct 2021) Went with a friend for lunch and got the Quesadilla with chicken ($10.45) and also got chips with a Chirozo queso dip which did not disappoint ($3.50) . My friend had the special tacos for the week, which looked fun! Our server/bartender was great and experimented with a new cocktail that I was able to try which was delish (basically a take on a Moscow mule). definitely enjoy the atmosphere the spot and though it's getting a little chilly outside, there is a decent sized outdoor eating space there.“

“Amazing food and an extremely clean restaurant. I tried them yesterday for the first time and came back today for more. Excellent service, speedy service with a great burrito to show for barely any time. My go to recommendation if you’re after amazing and fast Mexican food! Been getting the pulled pork and it’s “

“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!“

“Very friendly owner and good tacos.I appreciate the choice of 3 sizes. I got the jumbo beef taco and it was huge, over 14 oz.Open late. **Note, they do shut down the fryers and pizza oven about an hour before close so they can clean them, so just be aware.“

“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.“

“For the new kid on the block, El Punto certainly lived up to its hype. Waited three years, and now it had some time to establish itself. We decided to give it a try. Went on a Saturday shortly after 4. We got seated right away, but it was already filling up. They served housemade chips and a great house salsa. They have some Mexican cocktails that all look tempting ($12 avg price per cocktail). We started with empanadas as an app. You get two large beef filled empanadas. The plate had a great presentation, and taste did not disappoint. It came out before we even ordered our main meal. My wife & I both got the 3 tacos for &18. They looked fantastic and tasted just as great. My only complaint is that the music overall was just a little loud, and the time for the tacos took a little longer than I had hoped, but overall, we had a great experience with excellent food and friendly service. We will definitely be returning again.Parking: There's a lot behind the building on Manhattan St that offers plenty of parking if there isn't any available on Webster St.“

“Honestly, the best beef flautas I’ve ever had, and I’ve had A LOT! The passion fruit drink was delicious, as was the rest of the meal. SO glad we stopped on the way home from Niagara. It’s 3 hours from the house, but man I hope we go back!Parking: Parking lot isn’t huge but it seems to be plenty for the restaurant!“

“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..“

“Mighty Taco rules! Now that I live in Hawaii, I miss it immensely! We only have Taco Bell here which totally sucks. I miss those perfect bean and cheese burritos and those fish tacos at Easter time were the bomb! I hope everyone appreciates having this fine Mexican establishment. Life is a lot less yummy without it. ?“

“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.“

“This restaurant has the most accommodating and lovely people ready to assist you with your order. The food always arrives as ordered...CORRECT and TIMELY... It has been my pleasure to recommend your restaurant to others. I also choose your restaurant to order from when I have company over for an informal meal. So. ..in case you have not noticed....I adore you!!!! Thank you for your quality and ethics which are equally as important as the food. Also it is so fabulous that you read the comments and respond to your customers. It allows us to know you care. Please remain true to your style as you are wonderfully ," slaying " it !!!!!!!“

“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.“

“I live in a city with many taco restaurants. I ordered from Lloyd’s while visiting Buffalo and it’s now on my “must get while in Buffalo” list. I loved the food and really loved the ordering options.Vegetarian options: Loved the tofu taco!!!!!Dietary restrictions: I loved the way I could order light rice. My husband wasn’t with me, but being a diabetic, he should get no rice and just beans. He’ll be thrilled that he can.“

“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!“
