Everything here is made to order and some of the best authentic Mexican food in Buffalo. It reminds me of Los Tres Amigos back on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Excellent service and amazing prices

Kimberly Mena

Free chips and salsa . Also try their giant margaritas that are only $9, delicious and amazing. To top it off their lunches are around $7 and dinners are $8.50! Must visit!!

Steve Poland

Heard amazing things and finally ate amazing things. Possibly best Mexican in Buffalo . English is their 2nd language; that's a good thing. #authentic

Samantha Nephew

Burritos are amazing. If you like chicken , the Pollo a la Parilla doesn't disappoint. Also, a jumbo margarita is $7. So incredibly worth it.

Lori Elwood

I always get the quesadilla rellana, with the beef . It's so good.

Jason Nagy

This place always has good food and fast service . Not fine dining by any stretch but you won't leave disappointed because it's a great value

Bob Aranzullo

If you're undecided go with the arroz con pollo ! You won't be upset

Nate Tovornik

You have to get a margarita . If you get the jumbo be sure to bring someone else to drive!!!

Charlotte

Pretty sure this is a drug front but the food is amazing and the margaritas are delish.

Sara

They've redone the inside, looks great!

Marion Czechowski

Rice and beans are out of this world.

Chris Boardway

Try the Cozumel. I get it every time I come here!

Elliott Vance

FYI there's only 1 shot of tequila , 2 at most in the margarita ... No buzz whatsoever

Brent Zimmerman

No frills but great food. Staff is friendly . Prices very reasonable.

josh lankford

The food is decent. Typical of what your get at a mexican restaurant that doesnt boast fine dining . The service blows. They never served me a drink that i ordered and never checked up on us.

Krystle B

Salsa & chips are good so is a pitcher of lime margaritas

Bob

When a large party of people order food and its served within 5 minutes, what's that tell you? Microwave.

????Emma Caruana

The GIANT JUMBO margaritas are only $7!!!!

Nancy Halligan

Worst service ever! Waited forever to be seated. The person who seated us never gave us a menu and after 10 minutes we never saw a server. Walked out and will probably never go back!

Andrew Shields

Best chips and salsa around

Sara

Great margaritas !

Lauren Pritchard

I ❤el palenque

Scott Howard

FYI - The check in special only works w Amex card.

Marlene

There were literally roaches on the dining room walls. If you eat here, you're putting your health at risk.

Thomas Hearn

Overall bad service... Red sauce was watered down... made the food soggy, we were never offered a refill... Pretty commercial if you ask me... Chi Chi's was better back in the day

tessa lowe

Skip the shrimp , tasted frozen.

Aaron Hinklin

Tamales are out of this world!

Nathan Mellenthien

Try the xangos for dessert !

Bill Fleming

Best Mexican in Buffalo

Biz Traveldude

Definitely not good Mexican food

Jillian Reading

Not impressed. Bland food, poor service. Watered down guacamole and flavorless fajitas . One & done.
