Cute little spot here on a cold Tuesday night with a couple girlfriends! Our waitress was attentive and welcoming. I tried their house margarita (happy hour specials!). Classic margarita! We started with chips and guac and the esquite. The chips might be my favorite around! Then we all got the Baja bowl with Al pastor per our waitress's recommendation. Delicious!! read more

After doing an amazing "mob tour" of Buffalo, a group of us decided to stop here for food and drinks. We had a wonderful time! The ambience has a very "come as you are" type of feel. Dressed up? Come on in! Jeans and tshirt? Come on in! I'll start with the chips and salsa: they were not basic at all. The chips were a little thicker and served as a nice vessel for the dips. You have 3 dips ... pico, a spicy salsa, and then there is a red dip (I asked for the name and the waitress gave me the name and said what was in it .. I have since forgotten). The red was absolutely my favorite and not something I had ever had before. I wish I knew what it was but I can't find the name anywhere I look (if you know, please message me!). For my drink, I order the blueberry coconut margarita. It was very pretty to look at and also nice and strong. I didn't personally care for the taste or texture of what was on the rim personally, but it certainly matched aesthetically and that's fine by me. The drink itself is what matters. I had trouble deciding what I wanted to eat but I settled on 3 tacos: Barbacoa, Shrimp, and Fish. I was tied for my favorite, which would be between the Barbacoa and Shrimp. The Barbacoa was juicy (as it should be) and a bit sweet. There were 2 sauces on the table and I enjoyed trying both sauces on my Barbacoa taco. Yum! The shrimp tacos were super good; I just felt it was skimpy and deserved one more shrimp on there. But taste-wise it was fantastic! The fish taco was fine but nothing special. I think I would order the other 2 again and replace the fish taco with a different one. The waitresses were very nice, helpful, and had no problem splitting the bills for us to pay independently. I would definitely come here again! I want to try the Queso Fundido! read more

We came here for an early midweek dinner. We were seated immediately and ordered the chips and salsa and some cocktails. My mom and I both ordered the al pastor tacos. They were good - not authentic or super flavorful but nonetheless they were enjoyable. A solid option in Buffalo! read more

Service in the restaurant is amazing. The Ambiance itself is in the heart of Allen town. Making it a great spot to get drinks and a small bite to eat before partying on the town.Food brought a different component seeing is that the chicken was seasoned nice while the shrimp being battered and fried took away from the overall flavor. Covering it with a rich sauce didn't help the quality of the seafood itself. Moving on to the beef , while seasoned heavy the enough of salt or seasoning used can be much at times but all in all a great experience read more

I wanted to update my review for Casa Azul. I ate here when they first opened and was pretty unimpressed. However, I think they have improved after visiting recently for a meeting and having drinks and food. The tacos are different, and the fillings and tortillas are better. The shrimp tacos contain lightly battered perfectly fried shrimp and I'd come back just for these. The potato and poblano taco was also a flavorful vegetarian option. We also ordered a skillet of meatballs that came with several tortillas and a generous amount of sauce. This resulted in even more meatball tacos and provided quite a meal for two. We also had some lovely drinks. They were artfully presented and quite good. Churros were our dessert choice and they were crispy, sweet, and a perfect ending. We also had the very pleasant experience of sitting at the back bar and patio area that can be closed off for weather and faces even more patio seating for warmer months. It's quite beautiful back there and I recommend you ask to sit back there sometime. read more

It's not that I wouldn't recommend this business, but I thought it was only OK... the interior has a nice ambiance and is tastefully decorated... Buuuutttt, First of all, bathrooms were on the dirty side, and for it to be a Latino restaurant, there was a visible lack of any person from the Latino community inside... We ordered the octopus tostado for $18, and I guess we expected there to be more than one on the plate... it was very good with tender chunks of octopus, chunks of pineapple, sprouts on top, with a crisp shell nestled on a bed of guacamole... it was very good, but for the price, there should have been more than one It was taco Tuesday, so we each ordered a trio of tacos. They were discounted by $2... the shrimp taco was the best in the trio... the sauce drizzled over the fried shrimp, and veggies was the high light... the fish taco lacked flavor and gusto, just meh... the al pastor taco had some nicely seasoned meat and was the second best taco on the board, and in my table mate's trio, she ordered the Brussel sprout taco... she barely ever eats salt, but thought this needed some salt or more seasoning. The tacos were pretty bland... We ordered a basket of chips and salsa for $5, and the salsas were very flavorful, not hot spicy, but well seasoned. The chips were unexpectedly bland and not warm... we were assured they were fresh at the beginning of the shift but I wouldn't recommend them... So, it was an OK meal, but I won't be hurrying back read more

Was here previously and had an excellent experience. Went in Monday and was met with a 19 year old who could barely shake a drink and barely interacted with us as opposed to my previous experience of attentive and knowledgeable bartenders. The food which was excellent last time was awful. My tacos(barbacoa, pastor, and chicken) came out drenched in juice from the meats and the tortillas were essentially useless at that point. All the food was ice cold as well. I'll probably give them one more shot but the inconsistency that I experienced was kind of shocking. read more

The rating is heavily leaning on the food, which for me wasn't great. I got their queso and I'm not sure if it was the ingredients that combined to taste burnt or if the bottom of it was actually burnt, but it left an unpleasant taste for me. Unfortunately, my chicken was also decently dry. The chips were super salty, but I happen to like them that way. Our server was lovely, but it took longer to get basic drinks (no cocktails) than the actual food, which was a bit disappointing. That said, the agua fresca (basil peach) I got was delicious. I would give it another shot and try something different, as I could tell the place is beloved and has lots of regulars. I'm hoping I just got an off night. read more

Cute outside bar. I loved the vibes back there. The bartenders were great. The mocktails were so tasty and refreshing I could drink them and never need alcohol but I would need a much bigger cups. All the drinks were delicious. I was surprised there was food at this event. The corn tortillas appeared freshly made and delicious. As well as the nacho chips. A little too much salt on them but the flavor and texture was good after shaking off excess salt. The veggie option was outstanding! I loved it so much I went home and attempted my own version to indulge into. The salsa and sauce had a decent flavor. The rice was definitely decent. The chicken was dry and Iacked flavor so I was not a fan but everything was very well made. I have eaten here before and will continue to patronize this restaurant. This was a great event and we took photos, and boomerangs at the end. What a cute and cool idea for the event! I recommend this place. It's a more upscale version of authentic Mexican dishes. read more

Casa Azul is the best Mexican restaurant-bar in Buffalo. If the weather is good, sit in the massive backyard or at the outdoor bar. Chef Zina has a menu that's authentic and creative ~ all made with fresh ingredients. Service is friendly and efficient - was there last night and DJ Vinnie D was on the patio and it was perfect. read more

What a great place. The food was spectacular. The service was great. And it was very clean.

I'm not gonna lie, when Casa Azul was at their old location, I was not a fan... like, I went a few times, tried different things and ultimately, I swore it off because nothing on the menu did it for me. BUT, since moving to their new location on Allen, things have changed! The menu is updated, and I'm so here for it. We always start with the queso (which is a must at any Mexican-style restaurant) and my go-to dish is the pescado. It's hard to explain, but for the pescado dish, the cod is in a broth and seasoned with various spices. It's topped with pumpkin seeds, which at first might seem odd, but it adds a different layer of texture to the dish. They also top the queso with pumpkin seeds, so if you're not into that, just ask them to keep them off. The margaritas are freshly made and they offer a variety! The service is friendly and prompt and the vibes give off the typical Allentown energy. Overall, the move from downtown to Allen was a good choice and I'm glad I gave this place another shot! read more

Came to try some Mexican food, the ambiance was nice and I loved all the greenery they had indoors. Our server was not the friendliest. We ordered the guacamole and chips which was great. There was a lot of fresh chips. The rice and beans was okay, a little dry and my boys did not like it. The tacos were good, I tried the shrimp, fish and al pastor. All was tasty and shrimp had a little kick to it. The meat in the al pastor was tasty and the tortilla looks fresh pressed. Overall it was good, but I was not super wowed by the food. read more

I just love this place! Tortillas are amazing and seem homemade. I love all the drinks and variety they offer. Appetizers are shareable. Staff is super friendly and bartenders make a great drink. The charred Caesar is a MUST! We also tried the oxtail taquitos which are delicious. The place is super cute and modern. If you need help picking a taco the Al pastor is the absolute best. If I had to critique it the apps seem to need some salt and the searing process is a little janky / super close to the door which causes a traffic jam. read more

The only saving grace was the chips, guac and ambiance. Food and service was bad- Took a couple bites of everything and left It there. Ordered specific BOGO drinks (Wed specials from 4-7) at 6:40 pm...by the time miserable waitress came back around, It was too late to get the free second drink? what we already paid for...so the BOGO didn't apply. And wasn't fixed when we brought It up. read more

Caza Azul offers delectable and fairly portioned Mexican options at a very fair price. I split the Queso Fundido with my friend, which had a great flavor profile and honey on top which I enjoyed! The homemade chips were also delicious. For dinner, I ordered the three vegetarian tacos - I loved that they let you mix and match what tacos you get so that you can try different styles! It's a great place to go for vegetarians as everything is clearly marked on the menu which makes it easy to order. They have so many margarita flavors which were all unique and fun to try! The inside is a little cramped, but nicely decorated and very trendy. The waiters were working hard although it seemed they were a bit understaffed. read more

We had a nice dinner out on the patio, I had no idea their patio was so large and has a patio bar. We ordered the chips and guac as an app, they were great. I ordered the trio of vegetarian tacos. They were good, not great. My partner ordered the Tuna Crudo Tostada which was delicious and very fresh and light. Enjoyed a few drinks as well. Fun atmosphere. Clean bathrooms. Service was good too. read more

One more entree choice and I will have completed the entire menu at this amazing neighborhood Mexican cantina. I always sit at the bar to dine as long with a few tip shelf Margaritas. The bartenders are all very professional but friendly knowing when you need anything to just let you enjoy it all. Hard to find that talent of service! I've never had a bad here... not even close. About as close to absolute perfection that you can find Authentic, not Americanized Mexican food done very well in a nice busy spot. Highly recommended read more

Not sure why it's taken so long for me to discover the tastiest vegan tacos in WNY. Wow! For starters, the chips were the freshest ever, and the three salsas that accompanied them were each more tasty than the other. The three tacos on the trio were brussels sprouts, potato and poblanos, and cauliflower. Grilled with the tiniest bit of char. Seasoned with incredible sauces and roasted pepitas. And to top it all off, $7 margaritas on Mondays. Our server, Nadia, was super friendly and answered all of our questions. Can't wait till our next visit! read more

Should have known by how quite the restaurant was tonight to not have dinner here. Some of the worst Mexican food I've had honestly. Food was cold so under seasoned , chips were stale, salsas had no flavors and margarita was so bad. Go elsewhere. This is coming from someone who LOVES Mexican food and lives in California. read more

I want to leave an update with one star (based on the food), but as the bartender told my husband when he returned my civiche tostada..."you didn't like it, we gave you your money back...what else do you want?" Fair enough. But, I wanted well prepared food. It turns out that they didn't make an error, though. My husband returned it to them and they said it was correct. The split butterflied shrimp were still blue. So, this is how they serve the Acapulco Shrimp Ceviche Tostada. There was no mistake. I can't comment on the taste because I didn't want to eat raw shrimp. By the way...the menu offers you the opportunity to 'Buy the kitchen a round' at $10; nuts presumptuous. read more

I was super impressed with this place when they were at their old location but now not so much. The place itself is good a great vibe and the service was perfect, so what makes it not so great? The chips and salsa were the first problem. The chips were very thick and the salsas even though there were three of them, had little flavor, none of them had any heat to them nor were there any hot sauces on the table to add. I had the Taco trio, both the chicken and the beef or dry and not seasoned at all. Maybe it was just an off night for the cook but thankfully the service was on par. read more

I had the AL Pastor Torta ($10$) that I had for dinner was delicious, well-made, and quite flavorful with or without any hot sauce added to it.

Fabulous dining experience at a sweet little spot in Buffalo- a bit off the beaten path in that it is a bit of a stand alone in its neighborhood - but we'll worth scouting it out! We enjoyed thick corn house made chips with a trio of salsas and beautifully presented and equally delicious guacamole. This was filled by a selection of gorgeously plated trio of tacos and an amazing grilled Brussels sprout and cauliflower Cesar salad with house made dressing... everything was delicious and we left not a crumb behind Highly recommend the Caesar salad - unique and delicious Outdoor seatings and speedy friendly service ! read more

Casa Azul is very cute inside and has a very nice patio! I would go back for the churros and the ambiance, but the tacos were just sub par. The waitress said that their best taco was the Brussel sprout taco.... a very bad sign. I honestly couldn't believe how bad the chicken taco was. Very disappointed with them. The guac was very delish, the margs were good, and the churros were A++ but the tacos were just so underwhelming. Including the Brussel sprout taco. Please for the love of god change your chicken taco recipe! read more

Today was my first time at Casa Azul. I met a friend for after work dinner and drinks. We both got the tacos, and I chose 1 fish, 1 potato, and 1 Al pastor. We also got chips and salsa to share. All excellent! The tortillas were so soft and fresh. I also had 2 margaritas, both of which were delicious. We ended with some churros which were so airy and warm. We also sat outside on the patio and it was beautiful. The bar tender took our drink and food orders and was absolutely amazing. He was essentially serving the entire patio by himself, and doing so flawlessly. I will definitely be back. read more

I'm so glad a friend of mine suggested to go to this place during restaurant week. I had gone to casa azul a long time ago (pre covid days) and remembered it for good drinks but the food wasn't noteworthy. However, going back to the place this time, my mind was blown at 1. How many vegetarian options there were 2. How good the food was! I LOVED the veggie mole and the chips with three different types of salsa. The waitress nicely brought me a hot sauce for the food too which was house made and very flavorful. I also got a tequila mule which was just as perfect as I remembered it. The ambiance was very hip and the place was packed when we entered. Since then I've always been back twice and would love to be back anytime I'm in the area again! read more

Food- 5/5. Great flavors and sauces. Vegan/vegetarian tacos are incredible (I'm not veg but love never flavor combos) Drinks- 5/5. Also great flavor combo margs Service- 11/5 Amazing patio to dine/drink on as well, but it was raining today so sat inside with cute decor and tile work. Everyone was so friendly and the food was incredible! Natalie was our server and she was so sweet and really on top of it! Can't wait to go back The tortillas were a tad bit too thick- but I've been living in San Diego for 5 years so I am a bit of a critic on tacos. If they'd flatten then just a smidge, the flavors of their fillings would come through even more! Obviously not going to lose any points there- but just a tidbit of what I'd change. read more

Dear Casa Azul, I hope you are doing okay and weathering this storm. I miss your tortas, the ambiance and atmosphere and just being able to occasionally pop in, sit around and chit-chat. Your torta was the thing my dreams were often made of. I am not sure how you made it so flavorful and my memory is fading of what was in there. Were there pickled onions? If so, uh---yes! I love them! The seasoning and whatever you used on those tortas left me salivating and desiring. I've had some great memories in your space and I hope to have some more. Can't wait to see you when you're reopen. In the meantime, I hope all your staff is keeping safe and healthy. #ThankYouThursday read more
