NO CASH
Mark S.

Look, here's the deal, no business in modern times should have a "Cash Only" sign on their storefront. It's tacky and unwelcoming. I understand why they do it. Because credit card companies charge a percentage to businesses. That sucks, but it's part of doing business. And I really wanted some tacos today

Chimichanga, double rice, no beans.

Decent place. Doesn't look like much from the outside. Inside reminds me of a hole in the wall place you'd find in Mexico but really clean. Super friendly staff. Truly a family business as all family works there. Food was good and came out hot. Fresh homemade chips and homemade salsa both good. Ordered burrito and chimichanga. Both were good and had leftovers for later. Only 4 stars because I have had better Mexican but not around here. Would eat there again.

Vegetarian bowl with queso
Deb B.

Loved this place! Family run, with mama Maria in the kitchen who periodically came out to ensure we enjoyed our meal. Jose, Maria's son was at the counter and knew so many of the customers and greatest them warmly. It's hard to Relieve this place has only been open three years. The food is just fabulous and fresh. I ordered a vegetable bowl which consisted of flavored pinto beans over rice with a huge helping of lettuce tomatoes cilantro and covered in queso. I had diced jalapeños on the side and it came with a delicious tomatillo salsa. Even though this was a big serving I plowed through it in no time. We also ordered chips and salsa, the chips being freshly made and the salsa delicious. Jose asked many questions about how we liked our food for example do you want onions, cilantro, type of salsa whether mild or hot (both rock!), and type of cheese, so everything is customized to your taste. My husband had a few vegetarian soft tacos as well as a burrito. Everything was so good. This place is small and off the main street and is a diamond in the town of LeRoy. There are Mexican sodas as well as other soft drinks. Great vibes, great food and a very lovely family who take pride in what they serve.

Street Tacos with carne asada
Sarah W.

Great spot for lunch or dinner in Le Roy! It's right off the Main Street near the post office and has a cute family run feel (because it is!). We saw who I think is mama Chavez and our server ( José I think) was really friendly. I had the carne asada street tacos which were great and very filling along with some of their house made chips. Easy free parking across the street. Would definitely go again if I'm back in Le Roy!

Authentic Mexican food that has a great family vibe. For Leroy this is great, really happy to try it out and definitely recommend!

Beef burritos, chicken tostadas. Both with rice and beans.
Jennifer L.

Good food, nice portions. IMO could have used a bit more seasoning but if you add the hot sauce your problem is solved. Lol.

Super casual authentic Mexican restaurant. Exactly like we were used to in California. He had carne…read moreasada plate, I had arroz con pollo plus lots of habanero salsa. Food was great. Friday night there was only one other table occupied, so it was quiet and fast service.

Their truck outside says they do "catering" on its side. But they actually only have a lunch truck…read more Not bad if that's what you're looking for. But catering, not to the letter. I was told they only do outdoors, with the truck. I need indoors for nursing home residents and staff (like trays of stuff for a buffet line or something). So unfortunately the truck doesn't really accommodate my needs. That's okay. Nobody can be everything to everybody, I get it. But I also ordered dinner, to go. I have a deep love for Mexican cuisine (more so authentic fast food and home cookin) that goes back as far as I can remember and I was eagerly anticipating THIS dinner. Now, I used to basically live on the California/Mexico border and ate in Mexico, in border towns and non-border towns. I've also cruised deep into Mexico. One of my mother's husbands was Mexican and so was one of mine. I've spent time in Mexican bush camps in southern Texas over a campfire cooking texmex with ranch hands, but I'm no foodie. I just have a little exposure and experience in this genre. So that really compels me to say that my dinner was less than impressive. Service was good for sure. The carnitas chimichanga I ordered was pure meat. On the side was some sour cream, guacamole (not enough of either) and plenty of shredded lettace underneath the condiments. The chips were good, but could've been warmer with more salt and salsa. I have to say that the food at this restaurant, while 'stylized' as Mexican, isn't really what you'd expect as Mexican (only marginally adjacent, I'm afraid). I truly didn't expect it to be authentic this far away from Mexico, but it really missed the mark. I saw tortillas, I saw stylized proteins and even salsa. I just didn't FEEEELLLL Mexico when I ate the food. The carnitas tasted like boiled shredded pork, I'm sorry to say. No spice, no heart, nothing Mexico about it.

Totally worth a drive out to Medina for some tacos or a torta. It's a beautiful drive from Buffalo…read moreinto Medina and you should go through the Iroquois nature preserve on the drive. The taco truck is open Friday Saturday and Sunday and there are several socially distanced picnic tables outside, some with umbrellas and some without. It was a nice day so we sat in the sun. My diablas torta (chorizo & carne asada) was delicious with slices of avocado, onion, lettuce and peppers. Unlike most tortas I've had they were light with the mayo which is appreciated when you're having something as decadent as chorizo and steak. The bread was amazing and fresh as well. Great sandwich. The bf has lengua, carnitas and diabla tacos and enjoyed them all. We had horchata and Jamaica to drink. The Jamaica was not too sweet which was nice. The horchata was very good. My biggest problem with the aguas frescas set up was the multitude of yellow jackets attacking the drink dispensers which were set up for self service. I had wanted limonada but the bees were particularly interested in the dispenser for that one. We also checked out the store next door and picked up a packet of hot homemade tamales (also delicious) as well as some chorizo, hot sauce and drinks. Highly recommended weekend trip.

The closest thing we've found to tacos that remind us of home- LA. It's well with the drive for us!read more
