Yelp.com Review - by Derrick C.

3.0 of 5 stars. Pretty good for Buffalo standards. Solid chips/salsa for starters. Exterior decor screams Denny's, interior decor says legit. Everything on the menu is cheap (standard for Buffalo fare). I went w/...

Yelp.com Review - by Kris K.

4.0 of 5 stars. It's the second best Mexican place in town (la tolteca being #1). Rumor has it that the waitstaff & cooks are all puerto rican, which if it is true would explain the good but not quite right taste...

Yelp.com Review - by Wesley B.

3.0 of 5 stars. I've gone to El Palenque about 20 or 30 times. The first dozen or so visits I convinced myself the food was amazing, better than anything I've ever had. However, it didn't take long to awake from my...

Yelp.com Review - by Melissa T.

4.0 of 5 stars. In accordance with the previous reviewers, the food is as close to "authentic" as you'll get in Buffalo, to my knowledge. Or as I told my boyfriend (who is from California where they have entirely...

Yelp.com Review - by Jennifer W.

4.0 of 5 stars. One trip and I'm hooked. I thought that after moving back to Buffalo from Phoenix, I could pretty much forget ever having real Mexican again. I'm addicted to Mighty Taco as much as every other...

Dinamita!

I'm no authority on South-of-the-Border cooking, but this place is fantastic. I've tried several of their entrees and combination dishes and none have disappointed. Highly recommended!

4.0 of 5 stars. Definitely an awesome restaurant for Mexican, though creepily besides location most Mexican restaurants around here are eerily THE SAME. Not that I'm complaining. The food is so reasonable it's mind...

Yelp.com Review - by Kelly S.

3.0 of 5 stars. I do love the food here and will be back, again and again. Amazing carnita in chile colorado (slow-roasted pork in a mole-ish sauce). The salsa tastes fresh and the chips are light-flakey and yummy....
