I'm so glad we did - Melissa took great care of us, even with a huge ten-top needing some attention. We ordered the corn fritters and she suggested the guava stuffed option - take the suggestions, folks, she knows the menu. They were molten and delicious. The tostones were great, my companion's mofungo was delicious, I could live on their beans and ajillo. We will be back for flan and sandwiches and just to make our way through the menu. This place was not nearly as busy as it deserved to be. Please, let's fix that so I can have more of those fritters.

The pernil was delicious and the tostones were cooked very well, nice and crispy. The rice was a little bland for my liking, but they gave me beans on the side that I mixed in and that helped.

I would bring my family inside for dinner. I noticed some Mexican items on the menu, like tacos. I'm Puerto Rican, I went in to try their Puerto Rican food because there aren't many places close to my home in Depew and once in a while I get a craving for something fried that I stopped making at home for health purposes. This is my second time ordering from Kiosko. I don't know what people are talking about when they say the food was bland. Both times I tried different foods and all the Spanish flavor was there. The only thing I saw that might be bland on the menu was white rice. Pernil isn't cooked with salt, it's cooked with mostly garlic and other seasonings. The flavor of all the items I tried wasn't grandma's cooking but it was flavorful and tasty, I got my fix. I spent $29 today on two beef and cheese pastillio's and a chicken stew with Spanish rice dinner (side salad and three tostones with sauce and dressing included). I grew up in Buffalo and having eaten at various Puerto Rican restaurants throughout the City of Buffalo, I have to say that for the portion size I received, the food was overpriced. Let's be honest, it's probably because of the crappy economy we're in and the outrageous costs of food but normally one dinner can be enough to make two adults full and have some left over. The pastillios were yummy but also too small for $4.50 plus the extra cost for cheese, I think was .75 cents on GrubHub. For that price, I need something to rave about to make me come back. If it's going to be small, at least fill it with more meat. Yelp doesn't let me pick a half star but my rating is a 3.5. A 4 only because it's the only place nearby serving this food so that I don't have to drive into the City of Buffalo. I'd love to see more people patroning this restaurant. Not sure it's in the best location for that but I certainly wish them all the best. I think one of those wood signs out by the curb offering a lunch special might bring in more customers, everyone is looking for a good deal.

I placed an order for the lunch combo and the food was cooked quite quickly which was a surprise. I opted for one beef and one chicken with the rice. Beef was a touch on the bland side, it definitely could have used more seasoning. The chicken though was fantastic, it was juicy and had a good amount of flavor, the rice was the same. Moist and flavorful, definitely was quite delicious. I'm planning to return sometime soon to try some more offerings.

We went for the fall tasting menu and overall it was a really interesting, elevated experience. The portions are small, which I expected with a tasting menu, but there are enough courses that you do leave full. The dishes are very creative and definitely push your palate, which I appreciated. At the same time, that also means not everything will land depending on your taste. Some dishes really stood out. The tomato and tuna tartare was surprisingly amazing. It was bright, fresh, and one of my favorite bites of the night. The dessert, pastel de elote with coffee mousse, was also delicious and a perfect ending. A couple dishes missed for me. The Tetela Azul eggplant zikilpak y menta was my least favorite, and the Pulpo al Pastor, which is an additional paid course, didn't live up to what I was hoping for. With one drink each, our total came out to $377, so at that price point I was hoping to be completely blown away by every course, not just most of them. If I'm being honest, I even considered giving this a 3 out of 5, but it feels closer to a 3.5. Since that's not an option, I'm rounding up to a 4. The service was great and the ambiance was perfect for date night. It's a great spot for a special occasion and I would consider going back, but next time I would read through the menu more carefully instead of assuming I'll love everything. I'm not a picky eater, but the flavors are definitely unique and adventurous, so it really depends on your personal taste.
