Loved it

by foodie135

First of all, let me say that I have been to my fair share of Mexican restaurants and I loved this one! I thought the food was great and fairly priced. As far as the people who didnt get great service, I did not have that experience. I like going into a family owned local place where the servers actually know your name and what you like to eat instead of reading off corporate produced lists of specials and sounding like a robot while doing it. I also enjoyed the fact than I can get a wide array of Mexican beers and delicious margaritas that actually have some tequila in them! All in all, I would absolutely recommend this place for all of you who arent too stuffy and beige to appreciate a good, local, friendly restaurant.

• Pros: food, service(most of the time)
• Cons: parking!! ahh Hertel

Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting

by whateverwhateveryeah

This place is a horrid mess. We got there, waited 10 minutes to be seated because there were no waitresses in sight. The place wasn't very busy at all. When we finally got seated, it took 1/2 for the waitress to finally take our order. It took another 45 minutes for it to come.

I ordered two tacos with beans and rice. My boyfriend ordered a chimichanga with beans and rice. My boyfriend's order was wrong, but he didn't say anything because we had already waited for so dang long.

We both took a few bites of our food, and were absolutely disgusted. It tasted awful, not to mention ice cold. We were both ticked off because of the wait, but we tried to make the best of it. We tried to eat a little bit more, but honestly, I couldn't convince myself to like it at all. We both decided to leave, and we weren't going to pay for it either.

There was another couple waiting to be seated (and of course, nobody in sight to seat them), and my boyfriend told them no to eat there. They asked why, and we told them. Right after we told them, the waitress came running up to ring up our bill. My boyfriend said that his order was wrong, tasted like complete garbage, and there was no way in hell he was going to pay for it. The waitress didn't seem surprised, and said "That's fine."

We left, and the other couple followed! Guess they didn't want to chance it.

This really was the worst tasting food I've eaten in a restaurant. With the worst service.

Go at your own risk.

• Pros: Honestly? Nothing at all.
• Cons: Pretty much everything.

Better than Reviewed

by joe0622

Overall, this was a very nice Mexican place. Not the best I've ever had, but I haven't had what I would consider great Mexican food in Buffalo yet. I'm the type of person who likes to read the reviews on here before I try a place, so naturally my review is (hopefully) more useful to that type of person. More of a review of the reviews.

First, I don't think it's fair to complain about the ingredients in what you ordered when they are listed in the menu.

Second, their salsa is clearly not spaghetti sauce. I agree with those who praise their chips and salsa as delicious and, apparently, homemade. What they mistook for oregano was probably the cilantro, which makes the salsa very tasty, but I guess not for everyone. So just to clarify, there is no oregano in their salsa. Though I do see how the consistency could have reminded them of spaghetti sauce. But I do find it tacky that only the first are free, and you have o pay after that.

Third, I can't see how it's fair to say a place is bad because of service there on one visit. Our service was great. And again, I don't see how people could say it seemed processed. Everything seemed fresh and homemade.

Oh, and the beans were wicked awesome!

So, good food at decent prices. My only complaint: parking!

PS--they're in the frozen aisle. Mmm, Mexican chorizo. Yum.

• Pros: Beans, Chips, Salsa, Chorizo, Prices
• Cons: Parking
