Though I've had the food truck many times, I recently checked this place out at their restaurant location for the first time. I was with a group of friends and opted for the El Camino bowl. I was able to add a tortilla on the side so I could make my own burrito if I chose as well. The meat option I got was a blend of beef and pork and was flavorful. I also enjoyed my Bolo Tai cocktail alot and had two of them. I highly recommend! read more

I have not had Lloyd in a few years. Thought we would give the place in Hertel a try. Food was not hot. The burrito fell apart. I gave up and used a fork. But also: no flavor on the meat. I got the chicken and my daughter got steak. There was no seasoning. It did not taste like a well seasoned Mexican burrito. There are many places in Buffalo where you can get a better latino flavored burrito. read more

Really disappointed with how much this once great spot has declined. The food went from great to meh. And the cleanliness is troublingly low. Especially the restroom...yikes. We weren't even planning on going here, but Churn was closed despite it being within their open hours. No social media post to say so, just a sign on the door. I hope both places improve back to their original high quality. read more

I ordered a vegetarian burrito from an unfriendly and cold girl at the register and was greatly disappointed. It was probably the worst burrito I have ever had. read more

Such a great place to get a fresh authentic taco. Plenty of seating for all and so many tacos and burritos to choose from. They have a full bar if you want to have a nice refreshment to enjoy. There were all different taco options, burritos, and salad options. I got the chicken, pork, and beef tacos. Really good. All came with street tacos toppings. Also got a nice salad with taco shell strips and dried beef. You should definitely check this place out to get a great taco and a cool drink. read more

If you want your food to come out EXACTLY how you didn't want it.. Lloyds has you covered. I haven't got what I ordered my last 6x I've ordered here. Unfortunately this was my last time being I never ask for guac because of an allergy and I had a big scoop right in my bowl. I used to love them.... So this is disappointing. read more

Came in with 3 others and were excited to try the food. We all got something different and we all were perplexed on why our food was not hot. Barely luke warm. They make it right in front of you and you would think it would be hot. My bowl was a bit bland as well. My friend's 2 tacos were really small and not hot. Same with our other friend's nachos. So weird. Wasn't that impressed. read more

the tacos are tiny and kinda pricey but they're good quality. i liked the burger one but the chicken on is alright. i wouldn't say they're anything close to authentic tacos but they're okay. the quesadilla was good. the service was very fast interactions but they are sweet. the place itself is cool, obviously a bar so it feels a little millennial but there's a cool bottle shoot read more

I ordered pickup for dinner here and the portions are just right. Very busy for a weekday, but I ordered online and went to pick up. I was glad I had someone with me so I could double park to run in and pick up. Only street parking and it was a busy area. We got the food home and it was very good. The portions are just right and the prices are good. I would love to go try other food items as I saw some yummy selections they were preparing, while picking up my order. I definitely recommend this place. read more

I really enjoyed the food at Lloyd Taco Factory. Especially the dirty south taco! It was so good. The big Lloyd was delicious as well and my wife enjoyed her fish taco. I thought the tacos were priced reasonably and the wait time was pretty quick. You can check out my video review on my YouTube Channel Sweatpants Joe Eats.

Ordered takeout from Lloyd's Taco. I have been eyeing this spot for years and decided to give it a go while visiting Buffalo for our annual outing. I had the black bean quesadillas. My husband had a chicken burrito. The food was delicious, but I wouldn't say it was beaming far above average, but undoubtedly better than Moe's. Would totally visit again, and dine in person and for the ambiance and to better review the menu offerings. read more

This is my first time back since moving out of the city and returning. So it's been quite a while. I remember when they first opened up. We stopped in for a quick lunch and the food did not disappoint. Lots of good options for tacos. Their nachos were good, next time I'll order hot because I needed more heat. I love that that they had a bar. It was pretty empty when we got there at lunchtime. Plenty of seating available and staff was nice and friendly. Would definitely come back. read more

I like those weird cheesy spring roll things. Get them. They will bring you joy. For a main dish never get the tacos, they a good, just way to small for the price. You need to eat 4 to feel full and at that point you might as well order a burrito for half the price. read more

I know it isn't "authentic" but man I love this place. It's so yummy just don't expect authentic. Not authentic doesn't mean not d e l i c i o u s !!!!! especially their pulled pork nachos, I dream of those.

Their tacos are classic and unique and I love them!! even the weird waffle one and the big lloyd that literally tastes like a cheeseburger !!! read more

I was finally able to go back to Lloyds. I was told to give it a shot and that there would be something I liked, so I switched it up and got a burrito. It was yummy chicken and waffles, and I am pretty sure there was rice in it, which was surprisingly good with the syrup. We also ordered some mixed drinks and those weren't great. It wasn't my favorite, but it was yummy and I found what I would order if I went back! read more

We did not eat here, but I've been wanting to try an Aztec brownie forever so my husband ran into get a couple at the end of our festivities along Hertel Avenue. He was quickly in and out.

There's something for everyone. read more

Lloyd Taco Factory - Aztec brownie - Tacos Near Me - Buffalo, New York

My first time at this location and it was everything I'd have expected. This spot is set up to be fast casual so you order, find a seat and they call your name when your food is ready. There is an also a full bar there where you can order and pay separately from your food. Food menu is the same as the food trucks. I had a braised beef el Camino, bowl. It was delicious just like when it's off the truck. A good sized portion and the meat was tender and full of flavor. In my opinion the pickled onion makes it amazing. Bar had lots of cocktail options. I had the margarita, very tasty and not too sweet. Lots of seating and full of young and cool clientele. A fun spot to try when you are in the area. read more

I've had the food truck food, but this was a whole other level! The brussel sprouts were delicious. The chicken and waffle taco was amazing!!! Not greasy at all. I think it's the amazing corn tortillas that really take the taco to the next level! Now that I know how good it is, I'm definitely going to have to go back and try more! read more

I just love Lloyd's! You can't come in here with a strict desire for authentic Mexican street tacos- you have to take them for what they are- which is awesome flavor combinations and food profiles, a great modern take on tacos. Sit at the bar and have one of their great craft drinks too! The sticky sprouts are to die for and my favorite tacos are the dirty bird and the braised beef. If you catch a food truck out and about, it's your lucky day! We often buy tortillas and a churn ice cream sandwich to go, too! The inside is modern and has great colors/decor, and staff is always friendly. read more

Yesterday, my boyfriend and I went to Lloyd Taco Factory. He absolutely loves this place and well I've never been there so he took me First impressions of the place was that it was a place for friends, couple, or whoever to go have a drink, eat, and have a fun time. There was also a bar and outside tables. Cleanliness was spot on as well but yea a social atmosphere, good music too. We ordered the cracked potatoes and the dirty south burritos The potatoes were crispy, nicely seasoned, topped with some green onion or chives with another green type vegetable leaf type thing and some spicy sauce. Deelesh! Much flavor The burritos though was packed with chicken, rice, and vegetables. Kinda taste like there was some coleslaw in there too. It really added to the flavors and the product. Mwah! Ooh and waffle pieces Rating: 5 Bring your significant others, friends, fam and enjoy your evening read more

First off, let me tell you, I am team Lloyd and a devoted customer. I ordered two burritos from Lloyd Hertel on 6/18 and was a little disappointed because the orders got mixed up. The order with guacamole was supposed to include rice and no beans, however, it included both rice and beans. The person who this is for cannot eat beans. Therefore, we had to switch orders. The other burrito had no jalapeño, pickled onions, and medium sauce, as requested because it was in the other burrito. Your attention to the above is appreciated. read more

This location is super hip and edgy. Lloyd in its self is a vibe. As their menu depicts, Old school Mexican meets New School spin. I find that people either love them or don't like them. And to that I say, the trick is ordering the right things on the menu, and staying away from the food trucks. For whatever reason the food from the Factory's (Hertel and Main Street) are just better! If you're not super hungry, a couple tacos will do the trick. Or if you going full dinner, perhaps a burrito, or Camino, or nachos, with a taco app and an Aztec brownie for dessert. They also have misc items, like krazy korn, Aztec salad, quesadilla, cracked potatoes, mother clucker... all of which are great! Lloyd is a once a week meal for our household. They deliver consistently almost every time... and with the variety of options you can't go wrong! read more

I was very disappointed with the food. The taco was way smaller than I thought it would be and it was very soggy on the bottom of the tortilla. Also I went to the bar to get a drink and I was completely ignored. Won't be coming back here again read more

Lloyd Taco Factory - Snozzberry Mule & Buddha's Hand - Tacos Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Ambiance is fun, tacos are fine. Extremely expensive for the quality you are getting. Lloyds has a cult-like following from their food truck days. I don't know, they make things that taste like tacos, but not worthy of the cult status- I feel. Skip the ice cream, it is incredibly ordinary. All in all, there are better tacos on the street. read more

I literally only use Yelp to read other people's reviews, not to make my own, so let it stand as an indication of how much the quality of this restaurant has dipped since I moved here a few years ago. This used to be my go-to for burritos, but the proportions of the meat to everything else just gets worse and worse every time I came. It got to a point where I stopped getting the fish burritos because there was more mayo than fish--even the multiple times I tried extra meat in my chicken burrito (which makes it like a $16 dollar burrito, for the record) I quite literally got less than 2 McDonald's nuggets worth of chicken on two separate visits. I keep asking myself why I come back, and I know it's because the food was really good for a lot of years, but at $16 dollars for a meal that contains less than half a cup of actual protein, I'd go anywhere else. If you're wondering why this review is one star when the complaints are about portion sizes, it's because this was originally a 3-star review I never posted, but I went to Lloyds last night and got not one (because I kept eating after the first, I'm no complainer) and not two, but THREE thick, curly, loooong black hairs on the inside of my burrito. And I'm literally blond so I know they aren't mine-- I'm definitely going to try and never come here again, but if I do and something like this happens I'm pretty sure I'd call the department of... whatever you're supposed to call. :P read more

Good experience at Lloyd's! Love the quick, casualness of it. You go up to the counter and either talk to an employee or use the little touchscreen computer thing. Simple menu, quick service, nothing complicated. Pick a seat and sit down to eat! Also has a great full bar for some fun! Awesome! Fast tacos and margharitas?? Great combo. I would like to say that the taste of the food is very unique. Maybe the sauces or spices that they use? Idk, you'll either love it or hate it. Definitely not your average "Mexican tasting" menu, if that's what you're looking for. Prices aren't bad. I went on a friday night and it was pretty crowded but we still found a place to sit down. Its nice and clean and well maintained. Overall no complaints. Nothing fancy but you get what you get! :) had a good time. read more

The three different tacos ordered were pretty much all smashed into one box completely saturated, and looked like it was a salad. Disappointed. Definitely not the same quality when first started out. If I wanted that, I would've just went to Taco Bell read more

Ordered & paid for 3 items, got home and only 2 items in bag. Friday night in Hertel, no parking near, not happy about going back. Took food to girl who gave it to me & told her she owes me a taco & she told me she can't have my food on her counter. Not sorry for your trouble, not here this is how will fix this just I can't have this food on my counter. Paid for 3 items, got 2 and had to deal with a rude, vapid representative of Lloyd's customer service. I'm 70, other employees chuckling at my dilemma, guess is if you're young, they'll take care of you. Since I won't be getting any younger, won't be going to Lloyd's again. Stopped @ Mighty Taco where I paid, again, to complete my order. read more

Great food at great prices!!!! I had an amazing lunch date here and loved the braised beef and fish taco! The elote looked amazing too!

I had got early off work on a sunny Friday and I was in mood for some fresh tacos. Ever since I found similarities between tacos and Indian dish roti-sabzi I have been thinking of trying tacos at different places. Yelpers have been generously reviewing this place, hence I decided to try this place out. Lloyd taco has a green theme. They have a beautiful bar area and they have kept their menu limited which makes it easy to pick and choose your options. I sat at the bar area right next to the door. I had ordered three different tacos. Individually they are all a little under $4. They were all fresh and you can feel all the inividual flavors inside your mouth. I had a non-alcoholic drink suggested by the bartender that had ginger. I don't exactly remember the name of it, but I have attached a photo of it and it tasted good with some himalayan pink salt. read more

The last time I had Lloyd was a few years ago when they were only a food truck. I'm from Rochester but took a day trip to Buffalo and wanted to give their brick and mortar restaurant a visit. They're taking orders to-go and offering delivery via DoorDash due to COVID restrictions. The front of the restaurant is set up so it's a window-style service. Place your order (accepting payment via card only at the moment) and then it'll be brought out to you. I visited at around 3PM on a Friday and waited less than 10 minutes for my order to be ready. I got the Crack-ed Potatoes side and Mother Clucker chicken sandwich. I know, a fried chicken sandwich from a taco joint? But I've already had their tacos and burritos and know they're good, so I wanted to try something different. The sando was perfect. Nice and crispy, good breading to chicken ratio, and a spicy sauce to top it off. The Crack-ed Potatoes were my favorite item, though! They had me at (ssamjang, a spicy Korean paste), but the other ingredients (garlic oil, mayo, garlic crunchies, scallions, cilantro, and sesame seeds) on top of local crispy fingerling potatoes sounded delicious, too. And they were. They were also kind enough to give me a free extra serving. Service was great, food was amazing, and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town! read more

Gave it another whirl here. Met the girls for an adult beverage last night after a particularly foul week. Bartender was a delight! I got the Rick burrito to go. Had to do it, my bff is my dad and that's his name lol. Damn it's good!!! It has this spicy Szechuan chicken in it . It huge obviously like all their burritos. My gripe this time is when a side of queso is over $1 and get about a tablespoon. Also the guy at the counter had a major attitude. Also, the girls had this lavender margarita. I hate margs, but they loved it!! I thought it looked too pretty to drink lol. read more

I live around the corner and have gone here more than I know. Had Rick's burrito today, and like everything, it was amazing. Chris is a beast bartender. Ask him to make you a drink, and he'll do it. When people say "surprise me" he does, and then the rest of the bar wants what he does. The Biscotti Liquor in the Gennaro is the secret. You didn't hear it here, but say it, and he knows. Just my favorite place on Hertel. Get a couple tacos, and drink a cocktail or two. read more
