I've been going to Colosso since I moved into my house down the street 8 years ago. Their prices are great, food is great, but DAMN the guy who has taken my order the last few times needs to slow down and get a better attitude. He is short, rude and way too impatient. That's my only complaint though(albeit mad about it) I love me some Colosso! read more

Not only was the pizza awesome ~ BUT I left my bag on a table and called to say I would come back and pick it up. THEY DELIVERED IT TO MY HOUSE!!!! Salt of The Earth people. Tacos are great too ! Thx! read more

Colosso is defined as any creature or think of giant size. In this case, we're talking tacos. The namesake, not our impression of them. We'd been torn between choosing here or Mighty Taco, wanting something quick and cheap. Tasty, obviously, as well, the highest of the priorities. A priority that was thankfully met when we took the gamble and decided to give it a second try. I've passed by this place oodles of times, and yet had only once gone in, before the pandemic. In the ever evolving blocks of the area, it has been a mainstay, emitting fried food smell onto the street corner. Last time I had visited I remembered that we all felt incredibly neutral about the food and dining in. There are many seats squished into the small rainbow space, along with arcade games that I assume are there to entertain you while you wait. While the giant menu is posted on the wall (I do believe this is where the name originated, as it includes not only tacos, but also pizza, wings, subs, burritos and the appropriately named "this & that," covering the rest of their fried bases) we opted to grab the abandoned takeout menu sitting on a table to make our choices. Nearly confident, we approached the counter. Three guys working, and yet despite us being able to see all of them having pretty chill Monday night, they rathered carry on their conversation for another few minutes than acknowledge us waiting at the counter. I almost felt compelled to holler "sorry to interrupt" to grab their attention since there isn't a bell. My hunger can bring out the impatience in me. During this time, we peeked inside to see an old pizza sitting in the shelf, covered in overly burnt pepperoni. Neither of us tried it, so feel free to make your own opinions on black pepperoni. I naturally led with a question asking about size. There's a magical song about beans and toots, and being with an amigo, I did not want this song to come into fruition. The plan was to get a veggie taco, meat and bean for my amigo and then a small container of chips to share. But I had to know the difference between small and large, which is a medium, because super is large, because I must be the only one who thinks that if you're going to rescale your tacos, your largest should be called the colosso after your namesake. The guy behind the counter explained that "the small folds in half" and the large (moving his hands slightly bigger) does not. The super is even bigger. I wish I could just tell y'all the diameter of the tortillas, like maybe you're getting an extra two inches of food, but your guess is as good as mine. Speaking of guessing, be okay with unravelling your meal to figure out what is what. After a small wait, we took our ten dollars worth of food the couple blocks back to my apartment to find that they don't label the meal. My small, which is maybe a third smaller than the medium large was confirmed by peeking inside to find the beans glopped in there. There were also some lettuce shreds and chunks of tomato. It tasted good, like your basic taco. No bells or whistles, not that I had ordered any. We both agreed the food was good. The chips honestly look like basic rounds you can buy at the grocer, salty circles, and come with a hefty container of cheese. There was a sufficient amount to split, a small clamshell box for a few dollars. Okay so yeah, it's a conveniently located quick fix for your taco craving when your pockets aren't feeling deep enough to splurge on the new cantina. But the ambiance isn't worth the dine in, and with options all around, I wouldn't make this my ride or starve. Perhaps if we had ordered "that" instead of "this" we'd be singing a different tune, but if it's Taco Tuesday for you and the kids, you're probably just as well off making them at home if you're looking for a side of warm fuzzies with your meal. read more

I went in to order chicken Fingers, took 30 minutes. I finally got my order and left, half a block away I open it and it's chicken wings.I go back in the kid asks what's wrong I tell him I ordered fingers. He says no Brah you ordered wings and walked away. I'm like you don't listen and you half ass every order when I come in here. I'll call my bank and do a charge back as I'm not paying for something I didn't order. But Brah, Thanks for the Free Wings!!!! :) read more

A great small town feel pizza place with killer tacos and subs and great prices. I was scared to try them but here I am ordering for the 5th time in 2 weeks im addicted!! read more

nothing better than a beef and cheese burrito and a nachos grande!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im not one comment about things too often but, THIS IS A PERFECT PIZZA.....! Just look at it for yourself. You be the judge. PS, I dont even know who made it. I never asked to get "Hooked Up!" Impressed in the City of Ton,N.Y. read more

I like their pizzas and Taco salad. I'm trying to stay positive here. Every order is consistently wrong it's always something small but it happens every time. We ordered two Taco salads no tomatoes. One had tomatoes one did not. Supreme pizza no mushrooms. Guess what. Half the pizza had mushrooms. The decor hasn't changed in 30 years. read more

Service completely sucked. Ordered five burritos. Paid for five. Got 2. Management claimed someone else claimed our other three. Wouldn't let us order any more. Called us drunks. I've never been so angry and humiliated in my entire life. read more

This is probably the filthiest establishment I've ever eaten at. We ended up here because oddly many of the restaurants in this neighborhood are closed on Sundays. I knew it was a hole in the wall, but I went to use the bathroom while waiting for my food and as I looked around I started to worry that I had made a huge mistake. Anyway, I am giving it three stars because the food was tasty and it's been a few days with no signs of food poisoning so I think it's safe. It's probably more of a late night after the bars type place. The food is reasonably priced and it definitely has a retro vibe. Some minor cleanup would really make it more appealing. read more

This is a glistening beacon of hope in a vast ocean of darkness when it's 2am and you've been drinking all night... During the day it's a night club with the lights turned on. It's inconsistent and rarely excellent. I do like some of the appetizers but overall the tacos disappoint. It's not the worst option but there are better places to choose before Colosso Taco. read more

It had been quite some time since I had been here... in fact I think the last time was when I was around 40 pounds heavier and could just barely uncomfortably fit into their booths. Good news... I can actually comfortably dine in here again! I used to be all about getting the beef tacos and the taco roll ups here, but in the last few visits I have become crazily addicted to the Fingerella Taco, which only come in the Large or Super size... tortilla, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, marinara sauce, and more mozzarella. It's crazy good, and a great value. On this visit I also wound up ordering their mac and cheese bites, which were fried well and tasty, but nothing out of the ordinary... still worked as a good complement to the Fingerella Taco. One thing to note which according to first time visitors to this restaurant is that "taco" means lettuce and tomato (unless it's a specialty like the Fingerella), with small being taco size, and large being burrito size, and super being a large burrito size. Conversely, their "burritos" are just the meat and cheese. The interior of the restaurant historically has been a drab, dark, and dingy dump to say the least... that what keeps me from giving it a 5. The food for me gets it, whereas at best the interior is a 3. I must say that this visit it was definitely less dingy and drab than usual, so overall would split the difference and give it a 4. read more

My first impression of Colossal taco North Tonawanda New York was amazing. I don't generally like pizza. However, once in a blue moon, I do order it and it's either greasy or soggy. I was astounded. when a taco restaurant made pizza better than I've ever had. I also ordered six tacos for taco Wednesday. Very delicious. Then I ordered pizza. Log size cream cheese, and strawberry roll ups. And they were outstanding. The delivery guy was excellent. Consistency is the most important thing to me and I hope I can continue to be satisfied as I was for my first impression and first order. Outstanding guys delicious! in fact, places that generally specialize in pizza cannot compare. The cheese was thick the tomatoes were cooked perfectly. I love cheesy tomato pizza with garlic and olive oil. If I'm gonna eat pizza at all, that's my favorite. And let me tell you that pizza was indeed impressive & on point. Thank you for providing me the delicious food I paid for! read more

Colosso Taco is the epitome of cheap, satisfying, late-night, heading-into-a-hangover eats. Most tacos are under three bucks a piece, and burritos under five. And they are generously stuffed with tasty comfort-food fillings. I like the vegetarian burrito, a two-hand'er packed with veggies and re-fried beans. In addition to the restaurant's namesake food, the menu also includes pizza, wings, subs, and side appetizers. There are some combo-deals on the menu, too. (FYI, there aren't any gluten-free shells here, really not any gluten-free options at all.) This North Tonawanda location is within stumbling distance of the bars. But that lifestyle is many, many, many moons ago for me now, haha. It's still a nice evening food option, even if you aren't in town for partying. I've recently walked down here a couple times, totally sober after a show at The Riv. It's a nice walk across the bridge to pre-burn a few taco calories on the way. This is a dive taco shop, with vintage booths and video games, sometimes questionable dining room unkemptness, and sometimes a bit of gruff saltiness from the hard-working staff. But it's never enough to deter me from a yummy burrito. If you are in the mood for affordable local tacos, whether it's after midnight or not, Colosso Taco is sure to satisfy. read more

What a rip off. Won't go back. Lousy food. Lousy service. Owner has no clue. Old place years ago was outstanding, no comparison now.

Colosso Taco was a colossal disappointment to me. What do you do when you are hungry, in search of tacos, and drive by a place with taco in it's name? You stop there......for tacos. The place is pretty boring inside but a place like this doesn't need to be fancy, it just needs to provide good food. I placed my order for a chicken finger taco and a colosso taco expecting one very important thing, for them to be tacos. Now the menu here has a section for tacos and a section for burritos, which is where my problem comes in. I ordered tacos and was served 2 burritos, now, those are 2 different things, one is smaller and not completely wrapped like a burrito while the other is an actual burrito, so what do these guys consider a burrito if a taco is a burrito? That's a question I may never have the answer too. The tacos (burritos basically) were not great taste wise. I ordered the chicken mild and I'm not actually sure it had any sauce on it, while the colosso taco was a standard beef taco (burrito). I didn't hate the food, but I didn't love it either. Overalll, I did not get the tacos I wanted so it looks like my hankering for them will continue. This place seems pretty solid for a small pizza/taco place and I'm sure it's a great place for a late night bite, however, I can't see myself returning for food in the future. read more

I want to say I am not happy to put this review here. I order from them once or twice a week. So this was unacceptable to me. Below is the Chat I had with Slice Representative. Chat started at 11:13 PM M Hi XXXXXX, This is May, thanks for reaching out so I can help. May S Hi May, 11:13 PM I place an order this evening with Colosso Taco in Tonawanda. They got the order wrong. When I called after it was delivered, the gentleman said he would call me back. He called back once to ask me again about whether there was writing on the bag. I said no markings. He said he would call me back. He did not. I just called over there to inquire about the issue and that he didn't call me. They said, sorry you ordered online, they have to refund you. I said I was waiting to see if they were going to bring me the correct food, the girl said is that what you want. I said not at 11 at night. 11:16 PM M I can only imagine how disappointed you must be. Can you please let me know what was wrong with the order? May S 11:18 PM They should have called and said they were bringing the correct order to me. So now I have to go through all this nonsense again, explaining myself. They are the ones that got the order wrong. Not me. and yet they now want me to do the leg work to fix their mistake. I am now looking for a full refund please. 11:18 PM I ordered, 2 slices with a drink and a meat taco with sour cream and no tomatoes. They brought the 2 slices(which was like heated pizza from yesterday) and that is unusual for them. They brought me a chicken wrap something. not a taco. 11:20 PM M Got it. Thank you for filling me in. I want to give you the best solution - please give me a moment and let me see what I can do. May S Thank you 11:20 PM M Hi I'm back. Thanks so much for your patience. I just spoke with the shop regarding your order, and they wanted to offer their sincere apologies for the inconvenience, so they authorized a refund for the taco. The funds will get back to your account within 3-5 business days, depending on your bank provider. May S 11:25 PM I just spend 20 minutes with them on the phone, arguing that they should do a refund. They said they can't do the refund, that Slice had to do it, because slice gets the money. I would like a full refund for all the inconvenience that I am going through. They could have just taken care of it to begin with. 11:27 PM M I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, we are not able to issue a refund if we are not given permission from the restaurant since at the end of the day the funds belong to them. May S 11:29 PM Please call them back and tell them I am asking for a full refund. especially since basically they lied and their customer service was so unprofessional. 11:30 PM Please allow me a moment. 11:32 PM M Agent is Typing Enter Message Thanks so much for your patience. I just spoke with the shop and they authorized the full refund. With that being said we issued a refund right away. The funds will get back to your account within 3-5 business days, depending on your bank provider. May S 11:36 PM I want to thank you so much for hearing and fixing this. I am so disappointed because I order from there once or twice a week. I normally love the food. But, the service today was terrible. So thank you again for your help. Enter Message read more

I once made the mistake of walking into Colosso Taco and asking for a chicken "wrap." The cashier looked at me like I was bonkers. "We're a taco place." And so it goes. From that day forward CT became one of my fave slept-on taco spots of the Buffalo residential 'hoods. A little grimey (in style and personality, not hygiene) and hometown special, CT is home of The Colosso burrito and so much more. Their prices for side items like shoe string fries ($1.75? That's caviar on a PBR budget!) or O-rings are dirt cheap, man, and the food hot and plentiful; I always ask for extra cheese for any side item and boy do they give it to you! What's nice is that they also dont have a "one size fits all" policy for taco menu ordering; if you want a small instead of a large, just say so! read more

Great staple of Tonawanda...reasonable prices, excellwnt service...love their tostadas.

Named after the Colosseum in Rome because everything they serve looks identical to those Roman ruins. True story. ;) I used to come to this place all the time because it was fairly cheap, open incredibly late, and not too horribly far from where I used to live. It never had the best food in the world, but the tacos weren't bad (similar style to Mighty Taco but infinitely better), and they introduced me to the Stinger sub (Steak and Chicken Finger, Buffalo style)... they even have Stinger tacos, which are pretty awesome. Still, the food is far from being the best of its kind you'll find in Buffalo, but it's a late night must if it's past Midnight in the Tonawanda/North Tonawanda Riviera area because there aren't many other options and this isn't half bad! I'd also like to do a shout out to the gorgeous Elizabeth that used to work there. Not a bad place. Decent wings, the Stinger Taco is delicious, and it's definitely a decent place to grab a bite to eat in Tonawanda, especially if it's well after midnight. The employees are awesome and the food is definitely not bad, though it's far from great. read more

I order there a lot,love there food but last few times horrible, 2 hr wait to have order wrong with no one there to correct it,as much as I like food will never order there again read more

Came here for lunch. I had the Stinger taco which kind of looked like a burrito cause it was so huge. But it was just OK, although freshly made and good ingredients, the flavor wasn't all that. I'm addition, it was pretty sloppy and I probably ate too much of it cause I could hardly walk out even though I only ate half of it. It's a small joint and you should order before coming to make sure your foods ready if you need to eat for lunch and you're coming from Grand Island. They do have good poppers. I can go for some right now although I'll pass on the greasy smells. read more

Colosso is where you go at two in the morning, after a night of drinking and fun and you're starving but there's no other restaurant open. The food's pretty good, whatever you end up getting. Most of the time when I end up there I get a chicken burrito and some fries. They've got all sorts of goodies to fill your drunken heart's desires. I don't know if I'd go here during the day though. Part of the magic of Colosso is being in there late at night with all of your good friends. It's the sort of pure experience no yelp review could ever describe. read more

Little gem of Tonawanda. This place has been here forever and their open till like 4am. Back in my younger, drunker days, yes. I was here a lot. Now, I go for the taco salad. read more

Oh man!!!! If you don't know about Colosso Taco you need to get with the program!!! Great food for when you're drunk or if you just wanna indulge yourself in some great yummy food. The steak and potato is my all time FAV. I honestly don't know what they do to make this burrito so great but it's honestly one of the best things I've ever tasted. All the appetizers are great too and you get a bang for your buck . Highly recommend to all my friends and family! read more

This is a GEM located in the city of tonawanda. Funky decor on the inside. But the staff is always friendly, and the food is definitely what everyone wants after a night of drinking but it's also really enjoyable for a dinner option. Steak and potato taco is probably my favorite item. But I have a strong love for their chicken finger subs. The chicken is so good so I'm assuming the chicken fingers in general are good as well. I like to get the broccoli and cheese bites. Super good and you get 10 of them. Their fries are also very good. All in all, Colosso is one of my favorite joints in the C.O.T. I have and will continue recommending this place to people. read more

Classic staple of Tonawanda. If you want to feel nostalgic and get good quality subs/tacos come here. You are always welcomed and greeted by friendly service at the counter. Can't beat the prices. And open until 4am (makes for amazing food after a night of being out). read more

Subs are the best buy in the area. Large steak hoagie are the go to. Taco come in three sizes get the super well worth the money

It was after 2am. A few people sat in the seats - already with most of their food, but we were the only ones at the counter, to place an order. Asked what type of meat was in the Colosso taco, and got nothing but a blank stare back from the cashier. My partner than said "beef?" and the cashier replied "yes", with a heavy eye roll.. ok.. we were drunk, I get it, I would be sick of me, too... anyhoo... Ordered 2 large Colosso Tacos (ground beef taco) - one "hot", one "medium"; which were more like a burrito. Didn't have to wait long for our food. Both "tacos" were ice cold, meat was gritty, lettuce was watery (old). My "hot taco" was cold and mild. My partner swore off tacos for at least a few months, due to the awfulness of this place. read more

I went here for the first time with my sister. We had been shopping at a nearby store, and decided to stop in for lunch. We both ordered a burrito, along with some nachos to share. The burritos were lukewarm, and hastily made. I took one bite, and it nearly fell apart. There are definitely better places to enjoy a taco. read more

I had to stop going here because it makes me progressively more sick to my stomach every time I eat here. The quality of food here has really declined over the past few years. They also seem to close whenever they feel like it. read more

My husband and I always try to make it out here after we go to a local concert. It is great food for when you have been drinking. The stinger subs are the best thing I have ever tasted, must be because the employees are usually high as a kite. I highly recommend. -Judy read more
