    We sat in the dining room for over 90 mins waiting for food to come out. The restaurant was not overly busy. Total fail. I had high hopes.

    I ordered take-out and went inside today. This is a cute little spot to sit inside and eat, the…read moreplace is clean. I was taken care of at the counter by the owner, all good vibes. I would bring my family inside for dinner. I noticed some Mexican items on the menu, like tacos. I'm Puerto Rican, I went in to try their Puerto Rican food because there aren't many places close to my home in Depew and once in a while I get a craving for something fried that I stopped making at home for health purposes. This is my second time ordering from Kiosko. I don't know what people are talking about when they say the food was bland. Both times I tried different foods and all the Spanish flavor was there. The only thing I saw that might be bland on the menu was white rice. Pernil isn't cooked with salt, it's cooked with mostly garlic and other seasonings. The flavor of all the items I tried wasn't grandma's cooking but it was flavorful and tasty, I got my fix. I spent $29 today on two beef and cheese pastillio's and a chicken stew with Spanish rice dinner (side salad and three tostones with sauce and dressing included). I grew up in Buffalo and having eaten at various Puerto Rican restaurants throughout the City of Buffalo, I have to say that for the portion size I received, the food was overpriced. Let's be honest, it's probably because of the crappy economy we're in and the outrageous costs of food but normally one dinner can be enough to make two adults full and have some left over. The pastillios were yummy but also too small for $4.50 plus the extra cost for cheese, I think was .75 cents on GrubHub. For that price, I need something to rave about to make me come back. If it's going to be small, at least fill it with more meat. Yelp doesn't let me pick a half star but my rating is a 3.5. A 4 only because it's the only place nearby serving this food so that I don't have to drive into the City of Buffalo. I'd love to see more people patroning this restaurant. Not sure it's in the best location for that but I certainly wish them all the best. I think one of those wood signs out by the curb offering a lunch special might bring in more customers, everyone is looking for a good deal.

I placed an order for the lunch combo and the food was cooked quite quickly which was a surprise. I opted for one beef and one chicken with the rice. Beef was a touch on the bland side, it definitely could have used more seasoning. The chicken though was fantastic, it was juicy and had a good amount of flavor, the rice was the same. Moist and flavorful, definitely was quite delicious. I'm planning to return sometime soon to try some more offerings.

    Nice cozy little spot tucked away in a neighborhood off the main areas of the city. Worth making…read moreyour way over if you crave some Puerto Rican. Was greeted by the friendly ladies behind the counter who took some time to show me what they had for the day. Decided on some pastelitos, beef n cheese and some pizza ones for the kids. Pulled pork dinner with fried plantains and some beef stew. Everything was delicious and if you like garlic get the oil over the plantains. My first time here but will definitely be back as this was some good home style like cooking in my opinion.

It's on the corner of Jones street on the east side of Buffalo. Me and husband both ordered mongo con carne frita to go and I also got a papa renella. The Monfongo comes with carne frita, ensalada and if you want pimientos y cebollas. It is a good portion for the price, we both had some left for later. Food was good and we definitely be back. There is also food pre made that you can choose from, the menu changes daily and everything is fresh. There was pollo guisdo, res guisdo, pernil, arroz, carne frita ready to go and lots of other food to choose from.
