Well a few years have passed since Andales opened and finally decided to try it again. I'm happy to say I am able to give it 5 stars this time! I ordered the Queso Fundido and the Quesabirria Tacos to go. My order was ready on time, packaged nicely, and still warm when I got home. The queso was super good! They do not shy away from the portion, and that includes the chorizo in it. The queso had such a good flavor and was nice and gooey versus watery. They gave enough chips for it as well. The tacos were fantastic and hardy. Me and my son were both impressed with the size of them! I dipped mine in the queso for added deliciousness lol. The tacos also came with a nice portion of rice and beans. I can happily say, the food today versus when it first opened is like night and day and I would gladly eat here again! read more

I was shocked to learn that there's an Andale out this way. So me and my friend hurried to stop after working up an appetite from shopping all day. Mistake number one was sitting at the bar. The bartender spent the majority of her time talking to her friends. It was a significant amount of time before she even took our order. For a second I thought it could be because it was Taco Tuesday but it was nearly empty! I'm hoping and believing that it wasn't intentional but it felt as such. When it was time to order the bartender was legit not able to answer any of the questions that we had. Everything came out separately. Let's start with the appetizer. I had to ask multiple times to get chips and salsa. When I finally got it I ate it quickly becsuse I was starving and asked for more which I never received! My friend ordered corn and it legit never even came until her entree came out. One person got they steak while the other two of us hadn't gotten our food. Well the next person got their meal and here I am still waiting for my food to come out. Which is a tad bit concerning because. When the bill came out there was a plethora of stuff on it that my friend did not have. Now as far as the food I throughly enjoyed vegan tacos. It was incredibly flsvorfu Misc We didn't get any silverware. The most disturbing thing was when the bartender bit off of a fork to try some food her friends offered her. I believe this is cross contamination. I don't plan to return back here because of alarming lack of awareness. read more

So I go out on an 85 degree day, first time here and find out their AC is broke today.I started out the tasty salsa and chips.When my fiesta Quesadilla arrived it was made inaccurate, and had ingredients in there i wanted taken out.The whole experience was a downer.There is a small bar area to grab a cocktail and lots of free parking in their lot. read more

Of course I make my first venture in on the hottest day of the year to find out the AC is broke here.Started out with the delish complimentary chips and salsa only to find out they made my entree wrong.The Fiesta Quesadilla was made wrong, not the ingredients I wanted in it, very disappointing. Small bar area, but lots of on site parking. read more

I love al pastor tacos, so when I saw an al pastor quesadilla I had to try it. Very cheesy and still had that great pork and pineapple taste. Brooke loved her steak chimichanga. Came on May 4th so it was cool to see all the Cinco de Mayo decorations. We ordered the table side guacamole azteca thinking the girls would like them making it at our table but they didn't do that. Most likely workers were decorating or getting ready for cinco de Mayo read more

Service and hospitality and vibes are a 10/10. Food came out reasonably fast although my daughter had a cheese quesadilla and french fries and that took the longest. I had the street tacos 2 chicken and 2 carnitas. Honestly the best I've ever had. Will def be back again in the future! read more

Came for a weekday lunch with friends. Sat at the bar and ordered drinks and meals. Their lunch pricing is reasonable and the chicken taco salad was great. Beers were cold and specialty drinks were well made. Service was a bit slow but it seemed like we may have shown up right before a new shift started. Since it was lunch time, the crowd was a little lighter and the ambiance relaxed. read more

Very good mexican ! Service is ok not great . I love the atmosphere it's very unique and gives it the right vibe . ( minus the strobe lights ) very odd to have during dinner. The street tacos are always a go to here! read more

Food was great, server was great. I started my review with five stars, I felt like food and service were amazing the first time I came. Second time our server seemed to not be so attentive, seemed annoyed we were there. The food was also inconsistent. Very disappointed, dropped my score down to a 4 unfortunately for this reason. But the gummy bear marg was great both times! And I do love how the restaurant is decorated. read more

Always high quality, delicious food with generous portions for easy lunch the next day! It's so easy to eat whole foods there and not feel deprived, but quite the opposite! Love it! read more

Horrible service. Was seated around 3:15 and didn't get to order drinks until 3:30. Then continued to wait to order food until 3:45 I had enough and just left. Hostess/ server was sitting in the corner when we walked in. Not nice or friendly and didn't come over after making eye contact multiple times. If I'm going out to eat and spending a lot of money I expect GREAT service. Especially $30 per person. I did not want to end up ordering and waiting another hour. Will never be back. HORRIBLE never been to a restaurant where I've seen a worker just sitting most of the time. read more

I gave a one star because there is no option for no stars because it truly deserves that horrible, horrible horrible they sat us outside which that's where we wanted to sit however, the ground had all kinds of garbage all over it broken glass. They actually sat us at a table that had broken glass underneath then order some food to take home and they forgot the shells that go with the fajitas tried to call and there's no option to get anybody. The portions are nothing like they used to be. I paid $18 for two tacos that had absolutely nothing in them and for that were not worth it at all. Highly recommend going elsewhere always do not go there. It's horrible.. read more

A very live and fun spot with a good and different menu than that of a traditional Mexican restaurant. ie, bone marrow tacos, which were pretty good. An extensively big margarita selection. All of the food at our table looked really good. *They also came around with free tequila shots, that ups the service! My biggest con is that it seems to be pretty expensive for what it is. $20 for 3 tacos or $25 for 4 tacos. $6 a taco is the highest I've seen in the area. And $13 for a queso dip seems a tad high compared to other places. Most dishes are at least $25. Margaritas $15 (which is probably on par with other places. But if you're fine with that price disregard this half of the review. The food is good, but I'm not sure it's worth $250 for a table of 4 (our party). That being said, we will probably come back to try more of the menu. A very fun ambiance! read more

Food was amazing the cost was very reasonable the waiter was very knowledgeable and very nice and we sat outdoors and it was a beautiful night very calming after we both had worked ! read more

Antonio was a great server. No bartender and he made our margaritas. They were great! Brought extra plates without even asking for it. Constantly asked us how was everything. Nice to see such great service. Portion size has decreased. Food quality is much better. read more

Very nice establishment, conveniently located at the intersection of Main and Transit in Amherst. Adequate parking. They bring water to your table in an empty tequila bottle, which is a nice touch for this Mexican food eatery. Besides a nice assortment of tequilas and Mezcal's, they do have a full bar staffed by a bartender who knows how to mix a drink. There are large screen high-def televisions strategically placed around this large space, with someone controlling the channels from an unseen location, and they change channels fairly frequently without explanation, at least on the one occasion that I was there. If there had been a Bills game on, and the channel was changed, it would've resulted in property damage for sure and possibly personal injury, but since it was a news program, nobody really cared that much. Multicolored tasty warm tortilla chips are brought to the table automatically with a salsa that by most standards would be considered quite good except that I hate cilantro, so for me it was dry chips. I probably could've asked for a salsa without cilantro, but I didn't think of it. The entire experience was made quite enjoyable because of an attentive waiter named Ian. He knew the menu and worked hard to keep the food coming. The menu itself is quite deep, and although seafood options are limited, everything else of a Mexican nature was covered nicely. I do need to come back to try more of their offerings, but everything that I ordered was cooked properly, nicely seasoned, and was presented attractively on the plate. read more

Our server definitely needed more training... After about 5 minutes of being seated and looking at the menu our server finally came over with some glasses and chips and salsa then left again. She did not even take our drink orders. When she did come back for the drink orders, we asked what was on tap and she read the list off of the little thing, but it didn't say what type of drink it was just the brewers name, she didn't know what any of the drinks actually were. We asked what the "12 Gates" was, she said she thinks it's raspberry. Then we asked for an IPA, and she said the 12 gates was an IPA..... so Kyle ordered the 12 gates, and guess what... it was not an IPA. So Kyle walked to the bar to look at the taps... it was a lager. & I ordered a Paloma. She brought our drinks over and walked away again, still no ordering any food for us... Paloma 6/10 Tastes like sprite honestly. Not grapefruit at all. Chips & Salsa 9/10 The salsa was a very good mild salsa. I liked that the chips were multi colored as well. Tableside guac 7/10 I don't recommend from here.. Very plain avocado tasting. Needed some more salt, cilantro and lime to bring those flavors out. Tacos Chicken - 9/10 seasoned beautifully and cooked well. Very good. I added some of our guac and salsa to them as well. Chorizo - 9/10 Seasoned and cooked well. The green salsa on the side of the tacos is VERY spicy. My mouth was burning for about 10 mins. read more

We were visiting the area for first time and wanted some great Mexican food. Ron (the new manager) greeted us at the door. He was welcoming and accommodating. There is a great outdoor space, service was outstanding! Ron came around several times to check on all the tables in the restaurant and made everyone laugh, even his staff. Great atmosphere, drinks were very tasty, food was spot on. Salsa was THE BEST-housemade. Had to take some for the road. Absolutely worth the stop-we will be back next time we are in town! read more

I don't like that I ordered churos for $11 and got a bag full of corn tortilla chips with it. The menu didn't mention that I was getting the. And i only got mini churos. This was NOT WHAT I ORDERED OR WAS EXPECTING FOR $11 read more

First time checking this place out. Had high hopes but was a little disappointing. Salsa and chips to start. Salsa was bland and chips were stale. Service was pretty slow but nice. Ordered a cheese dip for an app and was ok but over priced for what it was. Then for dinner a fajita. Really big serving. Almost worth the very large price, but the flavor was bland (asked for but never got hot sauce). 2 small tortillas provided don't come close to enough but I took most of the fajita home and I have my own tortillas. Final score is ok food overpriced. Fun atmosphere though. read more

Andale is one of my favorites. My go to is enchiladas or chimichangas. Last night I got the chimichangas and it was great. Whenever you go into the restaurant they start you with chips and great salsa and it's amazing !! They always have a huge bar and I always feel like there is just a good level of music playing when I have gone in. I have never had any issues that I can recall with the service. Highly recommend read more

Beware of Andeles Cantina at Main and Transit. Last night at 5pm the bartender a woman first initial A gave my nieces credit card to a guy who ran off and charged up $ 500 before she realized it and was able to cancel it. The bartender and manager Ean were not concerned and did confirm she gave the card to the guy. Ean the manager, confirmed as he looked at the video. They would not tell us what the guys name was on the card he had left. This could have been an inside job Went in today , no response from owner or the son who is Eon(sp). We filed a police report, drove all the way to John Audobon way. The lack of assistance or apology by manager/ owner is horrible. The fact that they carried on like this is no big deal is unbelievable. Do not go here , they don't care about you. read more

Asked to have the USMNT game on the TV while I had a few beers. There were a few customers wanting to see the game. Waited and waited for nearly 30 minutes only to find that Genius (forgot his name) could not find the remote. Either he is very incompetent or he did not want to turn on the game for us. We left ! No one seems to care in that place and there is a lack of urgency to get things done ! I would not be surprised if it goes out of business. read more

This is definitely one of my top 3 choices when I think of Mexican cuisine! I love their salsa and it's almost never crowded when I decide to stop in. The servers are always very friendly and great at giving suggestions! I am a fan of the mexican street corn at the fair, so if you're looking for something similar in taste to that theirs is a close try! The restaurant is very spacious and does have a bar area. read more

Decent food for both the price and style. I particularly like the queso served with fresh flour tortillas. I always end up ordering the same thing which typically is the chimichangas. It's always prepared well and served timely. I also can recommend their salads. I've had them for lunch on a few occasions and it was also good. Service can be hit or miss depending on the time and how busy they can get. Keep this in mind and allow yourself some extra time. read more

Stopped in with a friend for a late dinner. It was still pretty busy at 8 o'clock on a Saturday night. The restaurant itself reminded me of a cafeteria. We were seated, and someone came over to take our drink order right away. The service was good throughout the meal. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have a cambo platter because I can never decide what I want LOL. So I ordered from their small bites menu. I got a tamale, an enchilada, a toastito and black beans. The food was decent at a decent price. Nothing special but good. read more

We have wanted to go here for a few months and came for taco Tuesday, and that's what the birthday guy wanted! We arrived about 6:40 pm and were immediately seated and then given complimentary chips and salsa. Our server came over shortly and she was very nice and attentive. It wasn't overly busy which made us happy too. I asked for a side of guacamole dip which was $7 but very good. This was not the table-side guacamole that is also offered. When we ordered our margaritas, I casually mentioned to the waitress that it was my husband's birthday. The menu is very big and pinning down an item is hard! We finally made our choices of four tacos and Chicken Flautas which are fried chicken taquitos. It comes with an amazing avocado salad and Mexican rice. We both thought the food was good, but maybe a bit "American-ized" versus something more authentic. We did find it odd that it was almost a night-club music theme that was being played. When we were wrapping up, the waitress asked if we wanted dessert, but we were full. She went away and next thing I know, I saw a blazing sparkler headed our way! She brought over sopapillas, which is fried flour dough pieces with chocolate syrup over them and whipped cream. What a surprise! It was a delight and complimentary! That was very thoughtful of the waitress to do something for him. Check them out! read more

You can really tell this restaurant is hitting its stride. The food was very good, well-prepared, and full of flavor, and everything felt a bit better than the last time I visited. A lot of that has to do with the manager, Marjorie I think it was, who does an excellent job running the place. She's attentive, professional, and clearly cares about both the staff and the guests, which makes the experience smoother and more enjoyable. Overall, it feels like this restaurant keeps improving, and it's great to see the positive direction it's going in. read more

My wife and I were impressed with the tasteful Mexican type decor in the restaurant. The menu was vast and included some unique options at average prices. We went for lunch which was a little cheaper than the dinner menu. We were pleased with the service. The food came out at a reasonable time and the chips and homemade salsa were delicious while we waited. We were pleasantly surprised with how tasty and fresh the food tasted. I especially liked the yellow rice which had a nice buttery flavor. Overall, it was a great lunch. We recommend this place. I think that the DJ on Saturday night, would be a fun experience to have. read more

You might as well call this a nightclub. Seriously... if you are looking for a place to have some good Mexican food and relax with some conversation with some friends or family, this isn't it. The food is great, don't get me wrong, it's delicious. But it was so loud in there that you can't hear the person next to you. We went on a Thursday night with my family (including a baby... BAD IDEA), and it was insane. There was a DJ, Kareoke, waitresses wearing half clothes, etc. I am not writing this to complain... Because prior to having kids, I would have loved the atmosphere. But I am hoping this will help someone decide to go elsewhere if you are looking to have a nice family dinner. Or, if you are looking for a place to party then you should keep this place in mind! Oh, and prepare to take out a loan for your meal. Everything is $25+, and a regular margarita is almost $20. Insanity!!! One scoop of ice cream ("fried ice cream") is $10. Plus our churros we're so undercooked, they were raw in the middle. Come on. read more

I don't typically have super high hopes for most Mexican restaurants, but it never stops me from trying a spot out that I've never been to. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, I was immediately in love with the exterior. I love sugar skulls. Heck, I have one tattooed on my arm. We walked in and walked right to the bar as it wasn't a busy day and there were plenty of open seats. We were greeted by the bartender pretty quickly and handed menus. My friend had recently visited and posted a photo of her margarita flight. I was craving a margarita flight, even if it was going to be made with sour mix. As soon as the bartender took my order of a margarita flight, she hesitated, but advised they are not made with tequila but with vodka. I thought, "UM, Its a margarita..." I was so confused, I wasn't sure what to say. I asked if it was possible to make the margaritas with tequila. The bartender politely said they could not because the mixes are all pre-made. I opted for another drink but later on got the margarita flight to try it. The flight was aesthetically pleasing. But please, do yourself a favor and completely skip this flight. It was too sweet even for my liking. The juice was thick and I thought I was drinking a smoothie at some points. Honestly, I hate to say this about a locally owned restaurant, but SKIP this establishment altogether. The chips were gross with no salt. The meat on the enchiladas were dry and I don't even know how that could be possible given that they were covered in sauce. 2/10 read more
