Taqueria Los Mayas - Cheektowaga, New York

Stumbled a crossed this hidden gem last week in Buffalo. I chose this restaurant because of its google review and it did not disappoint, they are worth every star they’ve earned and possibly some more! The food came out so fast, so fresh and so delicious. They even have a cute little salsa bar to dress your tacos to your liking. The portions are huge so we had plenty to take home for lunch the next day.

P.s. My Mexican friend can vouch for the authenticity of the food we had.

I took my daughter here for dinner during peak dinner hours. We were sat very quickly. The food came out fast and the waiter was nice.

My criticisms:

IF YOU’RE A VEGETARIAN: There could definitely be more options. Fake meat is a great alternative that many Mexican restaurants offer, but they don’t. You can choose from a vegetable fajita’s or a quesadilla for dinner if you don’t eat meat.

I personally wish there were different vegetables in the grilled veggie quesadilla (includes zucchini, mushrooms, and corn). Perhaps onions, jalapeños, peppers and cheese would make it better and more filling — instead of mushrooms and zucchini. They’re not my favorite, mushrooms make everything wet. You’ll also feel full within the hour of eating it as you’re not getting protein.

OTHER CRITICISMS:
• CHIP BOWL REFILLS COSTS EXTRA
• Rice and beans don’t come with your dinner. It’s extra.
• Sour cream is extra.

Kind of feels like nickel and diming.

• It’s expensive, roughly $20 for each dinner, not including drink or tip. Dinner includes lettuce, small dollop of sour cream, not rice or beans. You’ll spend about $70 for two without alcohol.

• It was also very loud and I am never a fan of being in the center aisle, all squeezed in for seating.

My daughter, ordered a pork burrito and mango Margarita, she loved everything about it.

But all around I would definitely go here again, and I would recommend it. Though I don’t like the extra charges.

Parking is kind of a nightmare. Understand that you can park on the Union Rd side of the restaurant. It’s very tight and not much space to move. Also people will pull through the entrance to the restaurant which is a driveway rhis makes it very dangerous. The food is authentic MexicanI’m food and mostly tastes delicious. Our waitress Laura S was prompt and courteous. The meals were a bit overpriced for what you get. I had the Pork Chimichanga which was really good. My daughter had the chicken fingers and they were terrible overcooked and like rocks as seen in the picture. Just because they are for a child don’t think they don’t know the difference. My wife had the enchiladas rancheras and my son had 4 molida tacos. They both enjoyed them. We had fried ice cream which was really good. There is a salsa bar which our server never told us about.

Great food, fun atmosphere, and wicked fast service. They told us it would be a 25 minute wait on a Saturday night and still had us seated within 7 minutes. Then our food came so fast that we were surprised. It was hot, delicious, and plentiful. Would definitely come back here the next time I'm in the area!

Honestly I’m a Mexican food snob from Mexico/California so I wasn’t expecting much here but was pleasantly surprised! Food tasted authentic and homemade and the service was attentive and friendly. The salsa verde on the enchiladas was a bit too salty and the diabla sauce had a bit too much chipotle for my liking but overall still a great and very filling meal. The Mexican background music was also a nice touch.

The food is definitely better than other Mexican food that is available in Canada and USA. I ordered a birria which was delicious. And because I was driving this time I could actually order a few drinks. Started with a michelada and ended with Modelo negra. The drinks are a tad on the expensive side so I’m gonna take a star off. Our server was great but sometimes a little bit slow. Would have taken off half a star but I can’t so 4 stars it is. Apart from that not much to write.....I'll go back again when I get the chance for sure. I'd recommend it.

Dia de la Muertos dinner date night was spectacular because we went here together. Biggest burrito I've ever ordered...the barbacoa I highly recommend I took one bite and said to myself I will come back here! My girlfriend got the steak fajita and wow! So fresh and served within moments. Surprisingly so because it was so busy that night.

The food is amazing. I had the 4 flautas, and my hubby had the quesabirria. I tasted it, and the taste was so meaty and rich, just perfect with the consome. Service is always great, and I never had a problem☺️
