MIGHT -- EEE -- TAAA -- CCOOO. If you remember the radio commercials and feel compelled to sing along, then this review might be for you. Along with many other reviewers, I remember Mighty from back in it's heyday back in the early 2000s. The food was amazing and the prices were great. Ingredients were fresh, and the ambiance was like a neighborhood country store. You ran into someone you know every single time you stopped in. They had tons of vegetarian options since the original owner's daughter was a vegetarian. Then the ownership changed and the quality went down. They offered the same kinds of menu items but everything became more packaged and less fresh. Management was sleeping on the job and lots of orders came out with mistakes and mishaps. Business must have gone down though, because in the past few times that I've been there they've made significant strides and it actually got a little better. It's still not what it was, but it is passable again. I encourage people who may have sworn this place off to try it again. They've expanded the menu to include more foodie-style exotic offerings and crazy meat combinations for inside your taco. They also offer whole wheat tacos now, which I greatly appreciate. The veggie burrito needs more lettuce and tomato. The menu says that it is 3x the fillings and I'm honestly not sure how that's possible with what you get, but it's less than $2.50 so I guess that makes sense... but I'd happily pay $3.50 for a little more burrito. The thing is, it's NOT Mexican. It's fast food. read more

Worst tacos I have ever had. Sauce was spilled all over the taco, lettuce was soggy and 1 little piece of tomato. Terrible preparation especially since the place was dead. The girls working didn't care how the food was put together. Will never go back to mighty taco on Sweethome. Terrible! read more

Mighty Taco - Mexican Near Me - East Amherst, New York

This particular mighty taco is pretty accurate in its orders, they are fast and efficient and generally pleasant. The interior is clean, the bathrooms are clean, the drive-through is generally fast moving. The food is good. This isn't high-end cuisine, but fast food, and it certainly serves its purpose. If they remembered to put napkins in the bag, and if they weren't out of certain items I wanted, they would've earned the fifth star, but generally speaking I am pleased with this location and come to this mighty taco, for the reasons stated. read more

See all

My boyfriend brought it home and it was delicious!! Queso is always a great side and the chicken quesadilla is always a hit!

For a fast food place, I was impressed by the service. Employees were very helpful at recommending items for my young children to enjoy. And the food was very enjoyable. Would come again in a heartbeat. read more

I call it Mucusy Taco, because I'd probably rather eat that... ok no but you know what I mean. First hand experience: I've been to this location all of twice. It was just the same as all the others, but with noticeably worse service (if you can imagine that). The food is often cold... or lukewarm... and it makes me run to the bathroom every single time. I was at this location with Justin (roomie) about 6 months ago actually. And no, it didn't go well. He bought tons of stuff, consumed it all... I got 1 or 2 items and reluctantly nibbled at them... finished about half... and ended up running to el bano as usual. It just goes straight through me. Always. Idk why. First of all, in response to the Californian who reviewed this place... if Buffalonians told you to eat at Mighty Taco then they are the equivalent of Californians who tell you to eat at Del Taco, okay? They don't know food. There are lots of Buffalonians that do, and we would never be caught dead in the vicinity of Mighty Taco. Buffalo DOES have some good Buffalo Tacos, in fact some amazing ones which have nothing to do with Mexican food (try Francos on the Blvd in Amherst/Tonawanda)... but Mighty Taco is one step below Taco Bell. Did you hear me? I said one step below Taco Bell. Yes. I know that seems impossible. Like a contradiction in terms. An oxymoron. But it's true. I thought Taco Bell was the worst food on earth. Until I tried Mighty Taco. It is just...... so..... bad. Please, please, please stop associating this place with Buffalo. Buffalo has the best food of any small city in the USA... but Mighty Taco, along with Anchor Bar and Duff's... is one big local embarrassment. The less famous places will rock your world. Read about some of them in my reviews :) Never ever ever Mighty, ew. read more

My shell was delicious. But that's about it. Try putting some meat let alone anything else on your tacos. Terrible value and terrible customer service. I don't care what the sign of the times are regarding employees not wanting to work. Your ratings speak for themselves and this will be the last time I eat at Mighty. Ziggy's Taco & Sub from now on. read more

Mighty taco is so disappointing since they took away their empanadas and replaced them with gross JJ pies ! I went there sometimes strictly for the seasonal empanadas Bring them back please!!! read more

If you're looking for cheap and quick comfort food Mighty Taco is the place to go. In Buffalo, if you even say the words "Taco Bell" people shutter because their loyalty to this place; and fairly enough it's because Mighty has the better food. My favorite is the Three Cheese Nacho Burrito. With 3 types of cheese, beef, hot sauce, and crunched up nacho chips, I find myself craving this burrito late at night after a long day of work (or basically all the time). read more

Mighty Taco - two trays of food on a table - Mexican Near Me - East Amherst, New York

this is so ridiculous, been here for 2 hours waiting for our food absolutely horrible, it should not take this long at a fast food place.

I come here every single night of every week of every month of every year with every member of my family. we all wear matching mighty taco shirts and sing until our lungs don't work no more. All of us order the world famous..... Banderito!! the epitome of Tex-buff-mex flavor. They're so spicy that my son drinks at least 3 bottles of my wife's milk to tame the burn. And my obese older son, Zeke, can't keep his filthy mitts of my food so sometimes I have to get rough with him, but it's all party of dinner time with the steelflex fam! Thanks for helping my wife with dinner every night lol! Not like that woman ever does anything for the family. All in all good mighty taco location with average food and attractive employees. read more

In the last year this Mighty has really gone down hill. It all started with my brother finding a long dark hair in his taco. No one in our household has long dark hair. But someone working there did... Then today, on the verge of hangry, I got a chicken fajita. Opened up the wrapper to find a dark black... well, I THINK arm hair... on the fajita. I just couldn't bare to eat it. Ordered poppers and they were so dry, they were inedible. I shopped Tops (who by the way has no cell service, WTF?! And everyone working looks like they want sweet release from life (ugh).) HANGRY, honey. I wasn't about to eat anyone's body hair and God only knows what else from their bodies. I hope Corporate reads these reviews... But even if they don't, they're next on my list "TO CONTACT". Your tacos ain't too mighty these days, folks... read more

Post Bills Game First Meal of the Day - Need I say more. After several adult beverages at the Bills game, I needed something of substance and I needed it fast. Mighty Taco's convenient drive thru sign glaring at me, so in I went. CHEAP! Very cheap. Went with a garden burrito! Very impressed to see that they had a whole wheat wrap option! To be honest, the wrap was awesome! Got a side of guacamole also which was bland. Bottom line, the food isn't healthy so I'll come here on rare occasions but it was decent. read more

Food is fine but oh my god the music is terrible. Like, really bad. I don't know who chooses the music at this place but they might be better off in another position. read more

Mighty Taco is a Buffalo institution. Ask anyone from Buffalo - especially anyone who's moved away from the area - and their eyes will likely glaze over with longing at the mere mention of "Mighty." The food is made fast, sold for cheap and about as fake as Mexican food gets. There is nothing gourmet or authentic about this joint, so temper your expectations. Some people can't look past this simple fact and it's their loss. It's a pretty simple menu: they've got tacos and burritos both of which are nothing fancy but just taste good. Some people are not a big fan of regular "taco meat", so If you want to step it up a notch, try the chicken or steak fajitas. Their nachos and poppers are also really damn good. Or if you are okay with "taco meat", check out the El Nino burrito: there's a half pound of it in there. These guys are not fucking around. Finally, allow me to spend a moment talking about the "Mighty Pack." It's pretty simple: you get six Mighty Tacos. If memory serves, it's $5.20, with a regular individual Mighty Taco being $0.99. Six Tacos is really a lot of food, probably almost too much. You would occasionally get a look from the cashier when it became evident that you intended to consume the Mighty Pack single-handedly. I once commented to a friend, "you know, I can usually only eat five of those tacos, maybe I should buy them individually." His reply was, "Yeah, or you could pay the extra 20 cents and look like a God." I suggest you all follow Scott's advice: head to Mighty Taco and ensure 30 or 60 minutes of deification for yourself. read more

It's Mighty Taco, I think everyone has eaten here. Since they've complicated the menu the help can not get your order right. Can't simply order a supermighty HOT. no you need to order a supermighty hot, Beef soft white shell. Then the help gives you either wheat or chicken at random. If you order a steak fajita there is another 20 questions now since they've added peppers and onions. IF you order three things, one will be wrong. Common if you are going to change something and leave the original on the menu how about a new name, ex. supermighty classic versus a hipster supermighty. AND GET SOMEONE WHO WILL ACTUALLY SERVE WHATS ON THE RECIPT. IF WE ORDER BEEF WE WANT BEEF. If you get what you order the food is good. read more

Ok, First off it's not 5 stars. I'm sorry to anyone who gave this place 5 stars, but I think you are all suffering from a variation of Stockholm Syndrome- you know... where people who have been kidnapped start having a deep desire and positive attitude towards their kidnappers. Yes, the kidnapper in this case is Mighty Taco. Or is it something else??? Have you developed a habit which involves you being stoned all of the time? Mighty taco is for lack of a better word, mediocre. Anyone having tried a burrito from the West or the Southwest will have the same initial response of confusion when biting down. It looks like a burrito, but it tastes like a sh*t sandwich... with lettuce and tomato. Look mighty taco does the job. The burritos are filling and can get very spicy (hot), but they don't carry the same medley of flavors that the burritos in Cali have. I highly recommend NOT GETTING lettuce and tomato in your burrito... unless you have been doing it since you were 3. read more

I grew up going to this Mighty. It is cheap and opens late!! I use to get the nachos deluxe alll the time, but they changed the chips in the past 5 or so years. My favorites are the super mighty or the chicken fajitas!! The sweet empanadas are also a good choice. Whenever I think of Mighty, I think of my childhood!! read more

This is literally one of the worst mighty tacos I've ever been in. I created an account specifically because my last few experiences were so horrible. First, they never get your order right. My vegetarian friend ordered a meatless burrito and they, of course, screwed it up and gave her one with meat. Absolutely disgusting, thank you Sam:). Gordon Ramsay would be shook. read more

if you're a vegetarian and thinking about ordering a bean burrito or anything vegetarian from here, don't. they've accidentally given me beef burritos when i ordered bean ones on multiple occasions and i didn't open up the burrito to check so i ate it the first time they messed up. i've been vegetarian for like 10 years so i got sick. after the fourth time they messed up i just stopped going bc they just don't read the orders that well. like obviously it's mighty taco, i don't think anyone has high standards for it to begin with, but there's so much cross-contamination and wrong orders. anyways just be careful bc even if they mess it up, u won't get refunded you'll just get store coupons to buy more burritos that'll probably be wrong. a $3 burrito is not worth it read more

Good, solid, fake Mexican fast food for cheap. Great for when you've got the munchies or just want a quick bite. Can be a bit sticky and dirty, but you don't go there for ambiance. Should be tried at least once! read more

I have to admit... coming from San Diego, CA... when I tried Mighty Taco, I hated it. I thought it was WAY BELOW Taco Bell (and I'm not a huge fan of Taco Bell) and couldn't understand why Buffalonians liked it so much... But my boyfriend (Amherst born) kept going there... finally I realized it was an acquired taste!!!! Now I LOVE IT!! (well, as fast food tacos go). My all time favorite: 3 Cheese Nacho Burrito MMMmmmmmm Although sometimes they don't smear the cheese thoroughly and some parts are dry... but that only happened once and not at this location. The Super Mighty Taco is also pretty decent. I'll miss them now that I've moved so far away!! :( read more

Won't be back. Averaging 5+ minutes per car in the drive through is unacceptable. Burrito wrapped so tight it was half exploded before I took a bite, and quesadilla was burned. Also didn't throw any napkins in the bag. Avoid!! read more

Yes, I'm giving Mighty 5-stars, for absolutely perfect execution of their own unique "buff-mex" style of fast food tacos. People that are comparing them to more authentic street tacos like you get all over so-cal, or even closer to home from the excellent Lloyds, are missing the point. Mighty was the perfect drunk food when I was young and is now my daughters and my favorite guilty lunch haunt. Bonus points for their always pitch perfect advertising, from radio spots to their placemats. They've extended the menu quite a bit over the years but you can't go wrong with a simple beef and cheese taco in a flour softshell. My little ones are partial to bean tacos. This location is consistently good. Love the old school buffalo "decor" as well. A unique buffalo experience, as good as it gets! read more

I'm sure a lot of Mighty Taco die hards will disagree with me but this beloved Buffalo institution serves inconsistent and mediocre food at best. I sometimes think that when I go through the dive-thru I should just order "surprise me" because the order is rarely correct. This used to be one of my in a pinch places to go to for a quick bite to eat but they seem to be resting on their laurels these days. There are plenty of other great but not authentic tacos and burritos in this area to chose from. Don't bother. I've been to the place for the last time. read more

Very good restaurant. I love the food here and all my friends love mighty as well. While at times you may get sick from their beef, at 3 am, after drinking all night, there is nothing better than mighty! read more
