Wow! Passed by this restaurant so many times and was I bad!!! I had the Birria Burrito that was packed with shredded pork into a pan fried soft tortilla. Served with optional sour cream and a dipping sauce. I ordered a Modello to go with it. I sat at the bar where Rosalyn took great care of me. The restaurant is super clean and a perfect Mexican ambiance. I'll be back soon. read more

Took a drive for lunch to get some A/C and try a (new to us) Mexican place. Very clean comfortable dining room, bar, and bathrooms. Only had lunch menu options. Wife went with the Chimichanga and I had enchiladas withe the red sauce both chose steak for the meat. Food was very good. Prices were reasonable. Service was not bad but could have been better. If you're a hot sauce junkie like me , this is not the place for you. Got 2 blue cheese size containers of a sauce that barely had any heat. If you're in the area give it a shot. We won't be making the drive back, just for lunch, when we prefer so many others right around the corner. read more

best mexican food anywhere tacos are made from corn tacos and have chunks of beef, not ground beef meat filled potato many rave about and so unique this is the second time they have had to move to a larger facility to handle all the business. little wonder why read more

The bartender/server was pleasant and attentive. The food was fair, but they were out of what I wanted. (Chile Relleno). I got fajitas (so so) the salsa was not great, pretty sure not fresh. Queso was canned. I can do better at home, for less than 67 dollars. Oh, the best part is the prices were higher than listed in the menu! They had a sticky not in there, but didn't correct the prices. Bad form. read more

Are you kidding me?! This place is as good as it gets. You need to drive, fly, hike, hitchhike to Dunkirk to check out this delightful taqueria. The food was off the wall. My only regret is that they were out of tamales and I so wish I could try some of it with the mole sauce. I ordered the nachos, a burrito and the birria tacos. Everything was ON POINT. The nachos were perfect with the chorizo sausage, jalapenos over harder tortillas that did not get too soggy over time. The birria tacos were BOMB! Loved being able to dip these babies. What a treat! The burrito, I only tried a bite off, but the steak burrito was so amazing that writing about it now is giving me hunger pains. The price is right, the customer service is authentic and real & the food is worth driving 60 miles for. Definitely don't skip by if you're passing through and love some good Mexican. read more

I grabbed some takeout for our dinner last week and while I was waiting to pickup enjoyed a really good margarita. I also recommend their rice bowls! We ordered the appetizer sampler which gave us a sampling of their starters to enjoy. Their coconut shrimp with sauce is a must try!! Enjoy! read more

Authentic dishes. Many choices. Enchiladas on point. Sauces are flavorful--both mild and hotter.

The burritos and birria tacos here are, at least in my opinion, the two highlights at this taqueria. By the way, this place is a great testament to my belief that the best Mexican food comes from the most humble of places. This place is nothing to look at. In fact, if anything, if you by chance you did notice it, you would probably pass it by without a second thought. That woukd beyour loss. I definitely woukd recommend here. read more

Short walk from the Dunkirk Pier and Clarion Hotel on Central Ave. We've been getting the tacos for a few years now and just tried the enchiladas and tamales. Everything is delicious, including the rice and beans! A favorite stop for us when in Dunkirk. read more

Taqueria Mexicana - Chicken enchiladas! Somehow I forgot a picture of the tamales. - Mexican Near Me - Dunkirk, New York

Great little place to eat quality authentic Mexican food in Dunkirk. I ate at one of the two tables they have. You never know who you may run into while eating. I met and was sitting next to Mayor Wildord Rosa's (Dunkirks Mayor). I will definitely eat here again next time in in the area. read more

This is one of the best authentic Mexican places I've ever tried. I've only ever had it to-go because inside is quite small, but I've never left disappointed and instead wanted to try the whole menu. I have tried most of it by now but my favorite is the tortas. The people who run this small Mexican joint are extremely friendly and you can tell they're putting their heart into the food. read more

Amazing food. Period. I ordered the Birria Tacos. Best tacos I've ever had! Also, a steady stream of people and the phone is constantly ringing with orders. If you want real Mexican food, don't think twice and just come here. read more

We come down from Buffalo to eat at Taqueria Mexicana every other weekend. The place is clean and bright, the people friendly, and the food is out of this world. Seriously. Today we had the amazing spicy pork burrito and the even more amazing tacos birria. The tacos birria is made with meltingly tender brisket, cheese, and a slightly spicy sauce - I don't know how it's prepared but it's very juicy and just ridiculously delicious. Every single bite is that good. Everything we've tried here has been excellent, including the tres leches cake and the flan. Even as we're driving back to Buffalo, my husband is still exclaiming, My taste buds are so happy! We will be back .... read more

Delicious stop on our way through- worth the two miles off the thruway. Get it to go and eat at a picnic table in the harbor!

Very delicious tacos, enchiladas and Cuban sandwiches with generous portion and reasonable prices, friendly staff

While headed home to Buffalo from Chautauqua, we decided to stop for lunch and checked Yelp for any Mexican restaurants along our route. I was happily surprised to find a five-star option in Dunkirk--and even happier to find that the rave reviews were totally correct! The food is more authentically Mexican (not Tex-Mex or Mexican-American) than most of our options in this area. The friendly woman at the counter was happy to make me a veggie burrito, even though it wasn't listed on the menu (and it was delicious!). My husband had a chicken burrito and was practically licking his plate clean at the end. TIP: This is a tiny shop--just one or two tables in front of the counter. The signage is also a little hard to miss from the car. Keep your eyes open or it's easy to drive right past it! read more

I'll echo everyone else in vouching it's definitely some of the best, most authentic, Mexican food in WNY. We got steak enchiladas In Verde sauce with rice and beans, chips that came with a little cup of green salsa/sauce (this was different than the Verde sauce that came with the enchiladas), birria tacos, and a beef empanada. They have an awesome selection of different tropical pops to pick from along with typical pop and water (they had Goya and some other tropical brands). We got one of our favorites ,Guava Goya. The beef empanada were the only disappointing part of the meal, it was dry and lacked that juicy flavor of a really good empanada. On the reverse the birria tacos were so juicy and flavorful and the juice to dip them in was wonderful, it was all heavenly. I definitely think their tacos are the standout. The cups of the red and green sauces that come with the tacos/ nacho chips are pretty small though so my advice is to ask if you can pay for a couple extra cups of the red and green sauces so you can add as much extra flavor to your food as you want. The steak enchiladas were very tasty too but I think next time I got my eye on the spicy pork tacos. The beans were very very flavorful and rice was good but pretty standard. We will definitely be back! read more

Apparently I had an unfinished review of this place. This was pre-Covid and the place was too small to eat, so we took it to go. But good luck finding Mexican this good for a good few miles in either direction. Worth the extra toll to get off 90. read more

Absolutely DO NOT EAT HERE!!! The worst food I have ever had! We left 3/4 of it on the table. The service is even worse! Save your money because you will leave hungry! The employees were incredibly rude! I would leave less then one star if possible! read more

Ordered the mixed fajitas, chimichanga and flan. Delicious! Staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely will stop back when I'm in town.

Food wasn't bad but it can be much better, the place doesn't look clean at all and the service was terrible. Everything that I ask for wasn't available and the cashier was like moody. read more

I ordered take out for 4 people and was VERY specific about 2 of the orders needing to be vegan. I specifically said 2 orders without cheese, sour cream or meat. They said it was no problem. When we got there they only had 1 of the supposed vegan orders ready. They did quickly made another one. When we opened them up at home to eat them both of those orders were sww we miming in cheese. My husbands are his (made his stomach upset) and I threw most of mine away after trying hard to be able to have something of it. Needless to say we will never order from here again! read more

This place is on point! Simple inside with a couple of booths and a cash wrap. Stopped by when we were in town for boat races. We ordered the spicy pork, ribs and some empanadas. The pork and ribs came with rice and beans both were amazing. We aldo grabbed some jarritos sodas, I reccomend the tamarind, my favorite. If you stop by or are driving through Dunkirk you meed to eat here. Its like being in a friends grandma's kitchen. read more

Delicious Mexican food with incredible prices! Grabbed the taco salad while on lunch for work, and it was very, very good! A friend recommended the taco salad because of how great it is! Everyone at my table got something different, and everyone was impressed with both the service and the food. There were 4 of us, who also wanted to pay separately, and there was no hesitation about splitting the check! I will definitely be back for more lunch breaks!! read more

Nice people and great food! Thank you for choosing Dunkirk as the home for your business.

So good! I grew up in Austin so i have had my share of fresh Mexican and TexMex food. We had the tacos with slow drilled steak and pico de Gallo with a little lime and red sauce. Everything about the food and people was excellent! read more

Stopped here on our way home from PA to Buffalo and so glad we did. Food was fresh and delicious, made to order, and authentic. Portions were large (we got burritos and quesadillas), and the burritos were grilled so the tortillas had that perfect flake to them! Will definitely stop again next time we're in the area. Staff was super friendly too. read more

Authentic Mexican food. Best tamale I've even had. Moist. Got the pork tamale with the green sauce which had tons of flavor. This is my husband's favorite spot for street tacos. Everything tastes great. Most of the meats are slow cooked so they have a great depth of flavor. Counter service was very friendly. This is authentic Mexican not Tex-Mex. read more

Excellent food. Friendly service. Just a small business with 8 tables, but Best chimichanga I've ever had. Best refried beans ever. Good portions. read more

Our new stop-over on the way to Buffalo. Very fresh and great tasting food. Had a dish from the hot bar next to the cash register -- this stewed/shredded pork over rice and beans and potatoes. Delicious and authentic! The owner was extremely friendly, really took pride in his food, and helped us decide what to get. Well worth the short trip off the interstate. There are a couple of tables inside, one outside (it was summertime), and it looked like they did a lot of take out orders. read more

Hole in the wall 2 table restaurant primarily carry out. GREAT FOOD! I drop in, get some stuff to go, and get a picnic table at the Point or eat it in the car at the dock. Great chicken, pork, beef and chicken empanatas, etc. My favorite are the STEAK TACOS. Home made corn tortillas, home made pico de gallo, grilled steak pieces, and your choice of home made red or green sauce. I like the red, but be careful! A little goes a long ways! 2 steak tacos to go is the deal. It will be the best taco you ever had! read more
