Yet, ANOTHER fabulous meal at this quaint, authentic restaurant!…read moreBrought a friend that hadn't been before, but have taken many an out-of-town guest here before, only for them to be wowed by the flavors and the salsa bar. These are really authentic ingredients and menu items folks! Not like some of the other local "Mexican Restaurants" you know? Also, the staff is beyond friendly and attentive. Was a true pleasure.

We were here 3 years ago and had to come back since we're up here for a concert. Well it was just…read moreas good and the waitress was fabulous. She got us all set up with salsa and queso and drinks and came back for orders when we were ready. Food was fresh and super hot! It was 4 meals that fed 5 people and had some left.

I've only been here twice, but the second time was during the chaos of cinco de mayo and it was a…read moregood stop! There were three in my party and we were able to grab some spots at the bar, which is clutch because then you can order through the bartender! I don't know where the photo of my asada fries went, but they were super tasty. We all ordered margaritas and they were a little light so we added a shot of tequila. This place is super casual, but we all agreed we have to return to try more of the delicious menu offerings.

Cielito Lindo surprised me again, and in a good way. Honestly, there is one place in the area that…read morehas better chicken, but overall, I have to admit that this is my favorite place to grab a taco or two. Why? Because they offer double tortillas that don't fall apart after the first bite, an excellent topping bar with delicious salsas, and an always-available creamy avocado sauce that I absolutely like on my taco. The service is consistently very friendly and effective. Also, there is no wait staff, which is a bonus. Sometimes I just prefer ordering my food at the counter, with no extra obstacles. From time to time, we like to order nachos with a choice of meat and queso. The pork tamale was very good today.

First time here and it definitely won't be the last! From the moment we walked in, everything--from…read morethe food to the service--was outstanding. The atmosphere was on point with great vibes and music that really set the tone. The service was especially impressive--our server was attentive, efficient, and made sure everything flowed seamlessly without ever feeling rushed. It really elevated the whole experience. The chips and salsa were easily some of the best I've had, and of course I had to try the flan (a personal weakness)--it did not disappoint. Perfect portion, smooth texture, and incredible flavor. Highly recommend and already looking forward to coming back!

I am of Mexican descent, and am an excellent cook. I make my own Mexican salsa's and tamales. I…read moreavoid going out to eat Mexican food, because I can do so at home. My wife suggested we eat at local Mexican establishments to support their businesses. To please her, I agreed to join her and have never tasted such terrible food. The first time I asked for a dish with shrimp, which was over salted. The waiter, possibly owner, apologized and accommodated my request for a newly prepared dish. Unfortunately, the second dish was even saltier than the first. The owner agreed and did not charge me. I did not end up eating any food. Recently, a colleague at my place of work suggested going to this same restaurant, because as a Mexican American, she missed going to eat good Mexican food. I did not share my prior experience, hoping that perhaps it would be a one time event. Importantly, I informed the waitress to tell the chef to not place much salt on my food. Unfortunately, upon receiving both of our dishes we both agreed the food was over salted. Even the damn salsa they provide is over salted! Moreover, my colleague requested shredded meat in her tacos, which was not what was served. Ultimately, my colleague agreed that it is not a place worth going to. Once again, I want to support local immigrant owned businesses, but will not support this one any longer. I honestly don't know how others can provide positive ratings for this restaurant. Unless everyone is yearning to eat food following a 27-mile run and are craving salt due to electrolyte loss, then perhaps this is your spot. Otherwise, if you want to accelerate your journey toward a heart attack with food that is soulless head on over to Taqueria Los Mayas. Despite this negative review, we both left a 20% tip as we are aware that poor food is not a reflection on other employees. It is, however, a negative reflection of the owner(s) who fail to read reviews. Others too have complained about the over salted food on this platform. Is it to compel clientele to purchase beverages? Perhaps. If so, this is quite desperate and unfortunate. Please note, this review can only be accepted if I select one star. Reviewers should be provided with an option of selecting negative stars in lieu of positive ones.

I was here a few nights ago for the first time. The server came over and happily asked me what I…read morewanted to drink. I ordered the Acapulco Nights. It was really good. I enjoyed the strawberry margarita more. It was sweet and had a sugar rim. (I had a choice of salt rim, sugar rim, or nothing on the rim). For an appetizer, I ordered the fried artichoke bites. They were really good and came with a honey chipotle dipping sauce that was more smoky than spicy. For my meal, I ordered the carne asada rice bowl. It was marinated skirt steak with cilantro and white onions over rice. I loved all of the onions on it! The service wasn't bad and I liked the venue. I would definitely come back.

If I could give it 3.5 stars I would but I was pretty disappointed in my experience. It started out…read morewhen we were told a 20-30 minute wait. We finally went inside and were told another 10 mins after waiting almost 45. So all told it was about an hour wait. I get they're busy but they were not honest about the wait time. Then we were sat in the bar area and it was just very loud and rowdy thanks to what we found out was a rehearsal dinner, seriously it went down about 10 octaves after they left. Our server seemed very frazzled. When we first sat down we were given a smaller dinner menu and told the regular menu was only for drinks. Our server explained they are training a new kitchen. So we go to order and our appetizer came before our drinks. We ordered the guac and it was tasty. When we finally got our margaritas they were good. Then they delivered a queso to the table that wasn't ours, but let us keep it anyway. Then dinner arrived. I ordered shrimp tacos- and chicken came. I had to wait while they made me the correct tacos, according to the bill the server had put them in wrong. I also felt $20 for three taco shells with 3-4 shrimp each was a lot. You can not mix and match taco types. The only toppings provided are a very spicy sauce, cilantro, and onion. I ended up putting the queso on them which was good. Just never had tacos with that limited toppings for the price and no toppings bar. We repeatedly asked for more water during the meal and never got any so my friend had to go up to the bar. We ordered a soft serve margarita (the real reason we were here!) for desert to share as the flavor was chocolate and raspberry twist. It was really good! Very rich and definitely a sweet treat type of drink. The server said the flavors aren't usually like that or as thick as ours was. All this to say I honestly feel they are trying to figure some things out right now. The food itself and drinks were very good. I enjoyed the soft serve margarita and would love to try some other flavors that aren't as rich in the future. Would I go back? Yes but not for a few months. The service piece of this place is not it right now. I wouldn't order the tacos again either as I don't feel the value is there. My friend has been here dozens of times and she said it's never like this. So I hope to give them another try!

If you like loud, obnoxious, party-bar atmosphere- then this is the place for you. If you don't,…read moreyou will probably NOT have a good time. I came here with some family who were visiting from out of town. We wanted somewhere that everyone could eat at since we have omnis, GFs, and vegans. Love that there were options for everyone. However, my partner and I ordered the guacamole azteca which came out with cheese clearly on it and mixed in. I asked the server immediately if it was cheese and he said no, they would never put cheese in it. I had my doubts but thought perhaps it could be finely minced garlic. So we started eating. About halfway through we hit a pocket of unmixed cheese and I stopped eating. Asked the server a second time who denied it was cheese. He claims he also asked in the kitchen and they assured him it wasn't cheese. Well, it was- I got sick that night. My vegan dinner was small- no rice or beans. Just two sad little enchiladas with very little filling. There was a pile of iceburg lettuce next to them with a small scoop of pico. But all in all, the meal is NOT worth the price. The vegan options were the same price or more than the meat options, but came out with half the food on the plate. I felt this meal deserved only 1 star, but the fact that there were vegan options on the menu bumped it up to 2 stars. I will not be going back, I would much rather eat elsewhere in a more quiet atmosphere where the servers and kitchen staff KNOW what they put dairy in.

We ordered the El Combo, another combo with enchiladas and a tamale. We also purchased chips with salsa. The combos each came with rice and beans as well. They packaged each plate separately, which I appreciated. It kept the flavors and sauces separated. I actually loved dipping the chips into the cheese/mole/enchilada sauces in each of the containers. Best "queso" ever!

Everyone has off days though. We ordered our meals and drinks which came promptly. Our food was good, one pollo Norteno and one chile poblano meal.

We had an order of street corn dip that was a little disappointing on flavor and our server must've had a bad morning. But we Highly recommend coming here, some of the best Mexican in town for sure

So I'm glad to say I have no food complaints today! What was lacking was any sort of service experience or "warmth". You now order at a kiosk which I really don't mind but it's sort of an isolating, cafeteria-esquire experience to have 0 human interaction and sit on metal chairs. But I'm happy to improve my rating to a 4 with the food being much better today and so maybe now I'll come back here again :)

I'm on a sort of mission to try birria tacos at as many Mexican restaurants around Buffalo as possible. I'm no expert, but their birria is one of the best I have had! The portions are really large, so it's totally possible to split a meal with someone and still feel full. The ambiance is pretty nice. (Cool little fountain by the outside door, nice booths.) Other reviewers mentioned how loud it is ... where I sat it wasn't as loud -- so maybe the loudness is just in the bar area? A huge bonus is that there is a ton of parking, since it is in the mall. A coworker had recommended the Batavia location to me, but I didn't want to drive all the way out there, so I'm glad this location opened up a couple years ago!

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.
