    chips with red dip
    Dot K.

    We came here on a Friday night around 6PM because a band we love was supposed to play on the patio at 7. We asked to be seated on the patio, but were told that the 2 empty tables were saved. We were seated inside the almost empty restaurant, and chips and a small bowl of runny red liquid was placed on our table. Our waitress came to take our drink order, and when we asked what was on tap, we were told that the beer kegs had kicked, but we could order something in a bottle. I ordered a frozen lime margarita with a salted rim, and my husband ordered a seltzer. The margarita had very little salt, and the seltzer was served in a can with no glass offered. We ordered queso and it was relatively tasteless except for the sprinkling of cilantro on top. We were not offered any small appetizer plates to eat this on. Next came our tacos. I ordered two with beef, and one with chicken. The chicken was dry and chewy, and tasted like it had been reheated a few times. The beef was also dry and overcooked. This was a very disappointing evening, although we did stand outside on the sidewalk to listen to the great band that was playing on the patio.

    Carnitas Dinner
    Justine W.

    Stopped in at Gramma Mora's on a Tuesday night around 7:30p. The bar was busy with beer league baseball players and there were about 5 occupied tables. We chose to sit outside where the tables and chairs looked like mismatched patio furniture. The service was kinda slow, but our server was very nice. We ordered the chimichanga dinner with steak and the carnitas dinner with chorizo; both with rice and beans. The chimichanga dinner was good, the steak was a little chewy, but it had good flavor. The carnitas dinner was just tacos in a lightly fried shell; the chorizo in it was good. The rice and beans were like warm and had little flavor. Overall Gramma Moras was alright. Not sure if I would go back.

    Azteca Burrito Dinner
    Richie H.

    We haven't been here in quite some time but we were going to be in the area and wanted Mexican so we figured we would visit again. Gotta say that we were disappointed with our visit and probably won't be stopping back again. It was nothing like we remembered it being. Start with the service, which was sub-par. When we entered we weren't immediately greeted and when the hostess/waitress came up front she grabbed two menus, handed them to us and said, "sit wherever you like, I'll find you". No kidding, the place was empty! I wanted a Pina Colada however they were out of the mix so I had to settle for a strawberry daiquiri, which was nothing special. As for the food, I had the Azteca Burrito dinner and my wife went with the Chimichanga dinner. Mine was just ok, nothing special to write home about and not in the same ballpark as other authentic Mexican places in the area. My wife felt the same about hers, just okay and add to it the fact that they gave her refried beans instead of the Sopa that she asked for it just solidified our decision not to come back. She would have mentioned something to the waitress but she never came over to check on us, not once. Not a "how is everything?" Or a "can I get you anything?" Or even a "do you need another drink?" I think this place has run its course in the WNY Mexican restaurant arena and with so many other authentic Mexican places around, this is last on our list.

    Gramma Moras was alright we enjoyed the visit the food was just okay nothing special if I'm being honest. Their tacos were just okay I'd expect better from an authentic Mexican restaurant. The staff was super nice and friendly and the queso was yummy! Prices were about hertle expectations which is a bit annoying considering the quality of the food. It's complicated I'm glad I tried but I'm not totally sure I'd be back.

    Flautas Entree
    Matthew A.

    Excellent service, Amazing food. Have been coming here for years and will continue to do so. The servers are always pleasant, and the dishes are staples. I love the Flautas, and my dad loves the Taco Salad. There's lots of Mexican options in the area but this will always be my number 1!

    The waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable. She got our drinks quickly because we were just on the tail end of happy hour. They gave plenty of chips and salsa while we looked over the menu. Great selection of food a little bit of everything for everyone. The portions were huge and came out hot. We were too full for dessert.

    Pueblo's Platter.
    Ginger S.

    The Scarlet Vetter says.....it had been forever and a day since I had been here, but an unencumbered day in Buffalo left some time to squander, so I l convinced the hubs to take a jaunt to Hertel Ave to have lunch at this place as he had never been here. I used to go here back in the day when it was on Niagara Street. Then when it moved closer to where I lived in north Buffalo, I was overjoyed. Then I moved out to the Southern Tier in 2009, so it is likely that long since I was at Gramma Moras. The decor is still good with large booths. The facility is clean. We waited a few minutes for someone to come and seat us, but to be fair, we walked in right as they likely opened for the day. Chips and fresh salsa hit the table pretty fast along with some green chile sauce (when our server asked me if I like hot sauce she brought us a sample) Yum. The chips were hot, crunchy and perfectly seasoned. Then an amazing classic Margarita! I ordered the Pueblo's Platter (with chicken) and my hubby ordered the Mexican Stand Off (chorizo). The dishes come with a choice of 2 out of 3--rice, beans or sopa. We took the beans and the sopa (delicious). In all, the food was hot, really good and well spiced. We ate way too much and rolled out of the restaurant. I can say for sure we will be back!

    Stopped for dinner on a Sunday evening, we did not have a reservation but were able to be seated after a short delay. We sat inside although the street side patio looked very inviting. The staff was friendly and courteous. After having some complimentary chips and salsa, We ordered a nacho appetizer which was fantastic. It was so large though we took much of our entrees home. The entrees consisted of a steak chimichanga and cheese enchiladas, they were fantastic as well. My wife had a glass of Pinot Grigio. All in all a wonderful meal, we will be sure to return.

    Tacos

    The atmosphere was cute and the staff was nice. The food was okay but not anything special. My tacos tasted like something I could make at home, so I would try something else next time. The sopa was very bland I did not eat more than a bite or two, but I liked the beans! Unpictured, but we got dessert as well and the brownie Sundae was very good.

    Bagged salad in the middle of the plate
    Adam S.

    Woof! I bought a half off special for here. And boy I'm glad I didn't pay full price for this. Besides lacking any flavor or something unique we were served up microwaved sides and boring main dishes which both had use hesitant to eat. Plus the food was lukewarm at best. The queso had 0 flavor and tasted like flour gravy and the salsa was just there. The atmosphere was the same as it was 20+ years ago I was there last, old, and dingy. This place is sad. Sad food, sad atmosphere and just a complete miss. We were really disappointed especially with so much other Mexican choices around. I'd never go back!

    Manito Taco Shop is an unexpected find in Lockport. We arrived shortly after opening and were lucky…read morethe timing worked out because this place was packed by noon. The man working at the register is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet and the service here is absolutely fantastic. We ordered a handful of tacos including vegetation, chorizo, carnitas, birria and two others I can't remember. Since it was our first time here I also wanted to try some of the sides to compare to my favorite Mexican spots and we ended up with chips, queso, beans, and chocolate tres leches cake. The toppings bar is absolutely the best in Western, NY with anything that you can imagine (except for radish slices). Our food was ready in just a few short minutes and all was to our liking. My husband felt that the birria was a little bland and I thought the beans were a little too soupy, but considering the spread we ordered and the excellent service that can be forgiven. Great spot if you're willing to make the drive.

Because 4.5 isn't an option, they get a lot right, and the guy at the counter earns a bonus star all by himself. The tacos and other items taste good and are consistent. Prices ride that line between fair and slightly high depending on what you order, but I've never left feeling ripped off. It'ss clean, the lines move fast even when it's busy. There's good energy here. It's also been cool to watch them grow from a food truck in a parking lot to a full restaurant. A big part of what makes this place work is Ivan( the guy at the counter). His charisma sets the tone, keeps the team buzzing, and gives the whole place its vibe. Even if the food were a star or two lower, I'd still stop in once in a while just to support him.

I came here with some family who were visiting from out of town. We wanted somewhere that everyone could eat at since we have omnis, GFs, and vegans. Love that there were options for everyone. However, my partner and I ordered the guacamole azteca which came out with cheese clearly on it and mixed in. I asked the server immediately if it was cheese and he said no, they would never put cheese in it. I had my doubts but thought perhaps it could be finely minced garlic. So we started eating. About halfway through we hit a pocket of unmixed cheese and I stopped eating. Asked the server a second time who denied it was cheese. He claims he also asked in the kitchen and they assured him it wasn't cheese. Well, it was- I got sick that night. My vegan dinner was small- no rice or beans. Just two sad little enchiladas with very little filling. There was a pile of iceburg lettuce next to them with a small scoop of pico. But all in all, the meal is NOT worth the price. The vegan options were the same price or more than the meat options, but came out with half the food on the plate. I felt this meal deserved only 1 star, but the fact that there were vegan options on the menu bumped it up to 2 stars. I will not be going back, I would much rather eat elsewhere in a more quiet atmosphere where the servers and kitchen staff KNOW what they put dairy in.
