This sort of resembles what you could get in Mexico, sort of like Taco Bell does, but neither is close to authentic but rather more inspired by. The food was far from the mark and we were unable to eat most of it as it was unpalatable. The rice was a mushy red mess and the beans were a thick dry glump. The plate had 2 tacos each with a small bit of greasy fish. The salsa bar looked like it had been sitting out all day and was not chilled. It was relatively expensive especially for the very low quality of the food. All that said, the bar serves up cold beer and good drinks. We will go back for drinks, but will get food elsewhere.

Also, she grouped 2 people at the table together on the same bill, though they weren't together.

My family moved to the Buffalo area about 10 years ago. I have patronized this pizza restaurant…read moretwice by myself. The first time was shortly after we moved here. I ordered an individual pizza with cheese and three other toppings and a soft drink. The restaurant seemed clean, the menu offered a variety of pizzas, sandwiches and Mexican food. The service was good, the pizza tasted good but there was something about the crust that I didn't like. The outer edge of the crust seemed dense and crispy- almost like biting into a hard cracker. I prefer crust that has more chew to it so I would render my evaluation of this crust as below average. During my second visit I decided to try a sandwich instead of a pizza. The service and ambiance were the same as the first visit. The sandwich I ordered was a Philly Cheese steak sandwich with chips. The server brought the sandwich fairly quickly, however, the sandwich was definitely not what I expected. The sandwich was nothing more than a hotdog bun with about 2-3 thin slices of deli roast beef, with a single slice of cheese, a few pieces of green pepper and onions. After this dismal sandwich, I decided that I would not eat there again. It had been quite a few years since that last attempt, so I decided to give the restaurant another chance. A few nights ago my wife and I along with our two neighbors went there for dinner. My wife and I ordered a large "deluxe" pizza and soft drinks. She also ordered a small salad. Again the service and ambiance were good. The salad was below average- mostly made of the white core of the lettuce. The pizza tasted good and all the ingredients were fresh, but the crust was hard and crunchy. So for me the bottom line is if you want pizza that tastes okay but the crust is hard and crunchy then Hip Pocket Pizzaria is the place to go. I can't recommend the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich nor any of the Mexican dishes (haven't tried any)! There aren't many good restaurants in the Buffalo area to choose from, so I wonder if the local customers are just okay with the quality of food offered here?

I typically judge a Mexican restaurant by their chips and salsa quality and this place was great! Fresh chips, salsa was high quality, even spicy version was good. The margaritas were decent and flavorful (not overloaded mix or tequila) The best part of our experience was the Mocajete dish! Mix of shrimp, steak, chicken, cactus, jalapeño, chorizo, amazing cheese... More than enough to share for 2. This was first time I've ever seen or heard of and came recommended from a friend but it was worth it! So fresh, so tasty, and flavorful. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
