Chicken Rice Bowl
Emily S.

Very fresh. I got a Chicken Rice Bowl, was first served with black beans when I said no black beans. Five minute wait till one without black beans came. Not a problem. Wasn't busy inside. Delicious, filling meal.

Pick 2 Combination Beef taco and cheese enchilada
Leah R.

One of my go to spots for delicious Mexican in the area. Staff is friendly and food is always great. A repeat customer always.

Enchiladas
Jen E.

Service was good, very polite server. Enjoyed the chips and salsa. Enchiladas were good, not my favorite. The pork had great flavor. House Margaritas were ok. Cute decor!

Nachos Supreme
Julie W.

Good food, ordered enchiladas, fajitas, and nachos and had a great meal. Good vibes and pretty cheap!

Hair found in my salsa

1/5 stars If I could give zero stars, I would. This lunch was one of the most emotionally exhausting dining experiences I've ever had. From the start, we weren't given drink menus until we asked. We ordered guacamole, but were instead brought cheese dip. When I politely corrected the mistake, the waitress acted annoyed rather than apologetic. For my meal, I ordered the al pastor burrito based on my boyfriend's recommendation. The waitress offered the "lunch special," which I assumed meant a smaller portion of what I wanted -- but instead, she brought out a chicken burrito. When I tried to clarify, I was met with a condescending and argumentative response, asking me "why have you changed your mind do you not want what you ordered," and gaslighting me into thinking I had made a mistake and ordered the wrong thing. Then, when new chips and salsa were brought to the table, I found a hair in the salsa -- which I photographed because by that point I honestly couldn't believe how badly everything had gone. Despite all of these mistakes, not a single item was discounted or comped. I ended up paying over $100 for a meal that felt humiliating, stressful, and completely disrespectful. I even left a tip -- because despite everything, I'm the type of person who struggles to be "rude" even when I've been treated poorly. I've recently made a personal promise to stand up for myself when I'm being disrespected, and I'm tired of being gaslit by people in customer service who refuse to take accountability. I deserve better. All customers do. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone who values being treated with basic kindness, respect, or professionalism. To quote the Reportoftheweek: My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined"

Combination Pick 3
Shannon S.

Great mexican! Great quaint little place. We love it here. If I had to give a critique I don't love the salsa that comes with the chips. Other than that the servers are always friendly and quick.

Enchiladas Poblanas (enchilada sauce instead of mole) 7/10
Kimberley A.

9/4/22 Dine In Food came out super quick. Staff was friendly and attentive. Poblano Enchiladas 7/10. Switched the mole with regular Enchilada sauce. They were decent, nothing special. Slightly bland, could use some spices to add flavor. I'd order again. Primo Special 7/10 Kyle's rating. He would prefer more chorizo in it. It had some flavor, not a whole lot. He would order again. Rice 8/10 Kyle's rating. He says it's good.

I will give them no starts if I could. We ordered two arroz con pollos which cost almost $40. The pictures attached are exactly how a real Hispanic arroz con pollo does not look in any other Latino restaurant. No only the dish is completely wrong but you barely will see any rice on that dish. I called to complain and basically told me that I do not know how to read the "new menu" and they will just give a credit if I didn't bring that back. Oh well I do not have time to waste and bring that back. Also couldn't even if cause it was spicy. It was garbage food. So it was a horrible experience. Save your time and go somewhere that you will get the food that you pay for. I ordered from them like a year ago and their arroz con pollo was a legit arroz con pollo. Who knows what happened

It's tiny, tucked away in the back of the store past the engine fluids. The flavors they offer, however, are surprisingly great. Orders can be placed at the drive-thru, at the counter, simply do it online, or call if that's most comfortable. We opted to eat inside. It's a very casual, no-fuss spot with a few high tables and a bunch of chairs. The colorful furniture, artwork on the walls, and overall hospitable atmosphere make grabbing a quick meal on the spot not a bad idea. We only ordered a few tacos. All were loaded with meat, some onion, and cilantro. We asked for mild and medium-hot salsa, which was served in small, perfectly sized containers. I enjoyed my chicken taco a lot. The double tortilla held everything perfectly. The menu has plenty of interesting options. I'd definitely go back without hesitation. One more thing. The people who worked there were polite and friendly. It's always nice to experience a genuine smile when I leave a restaurant. It feels like I'm always invited and appreciated.

I'm sure you never…read moreput Mexican on your list for Brunch spots but Im telling you this place has put them in whole other category. It's a Mexican-Breakfast fusion that works in all the right ways. From the Chicken and Churros to the Tres Leches Pancakes and Breakfast Entrees, this place is a pleasant surprise. Pancakes were really good but still definitely needed syrup, of which they had none. I ended up putting powdered sugar in my cream to make a bit of a glaze. So stash some syrup in bag if you're a pancaker. According to my guests the chicken and churros were great. The steak was two HUGE pieces. The rice was perfectly cooked. The refried beans, salad and potatoes were very flavorful. The tacos were great and very filling. We all left with doggy bags. Easily one of the best Brunch options in the Buffalo area with delicious non-alcoholic options beyond just pop. Ambiance is fabulous. Plenty of space for any size group. Fantastic, attentive, service. Clean bathrooms. You've gotta check them out!

The staff was attentive and on top of any beverage refills. There wasn't much ready to order vegetarian food but they were able to make most dishes vegetarian when requested. The flan was a definite standout. Plenty of the caramelized sugar. Churros were rather oily and were disappointing. The sopas with vegetable filling was very good. Well worth another dinner !

Flavorful and fresh.. All the food was made to order. Came to the table hot. All ingredients were very fresh, vibrant in color and flavorful! I went for the chicken fajitas, that came with beans, rice, little green salad, and guacamole and sour cream. Portions were nice size no need ask for extra. My chicken fajitas were delicious. Chicken was cooked perfectly, sizzled the whole time while at the table. Topped with peppers, onions and mushrooms. Normally not a big rice fan, but the rice was so good, I loved it! At first I was like 24 bucks for fatijas seemed little high, but after coming to the table, felt portion to price was good.
