Stopped in for a quick, light lunch. Ordered 3 tacos at the counter. Service was brisk, which I appreciated that day. Was asked if I wanted sour cream and something else (i've forgotten) and replied Sure! But when I saw the total that the bill came to, something was clearly wrong. What I didn't know, and the clerk hadn't told me, was that sour cream was an extra $.50 as was the other item, and there was a takeout charge! So, nixed the extras. Is there an extra charge for dishwashing if you eat in? Didn't ask. Haven't seen a takeout charge anywhere else. The tacos were good, corn tortillas were soft. There's a self-serve bar where you can get tiny containers of cilantro and various salsas to go. I wouldn't have known about it, but i had wandered around while waiting for my order. It would have been helpful to be told about it. read more

This was my second Yelp passport stop... Great, meaty tacos at a great price! There was a large selection of tacos and more (tortas, quesadillas, tamales)! The toppings bar allowed you to dress your taco any way you'd like. I had the asada and barbacos tacos. When I'm in the area I will definitely stop back. They remind me very much of my favorite, Manito's Taco Shop. I recommend that any lover of tacos check La Divina out... you won't be disappointed! read more

La Divina Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Buffalo, New York

This is genuinely the best place on earth i would eat this food every day of the week if i could these people are amazing best spot in buffalo i love la divina read more

Can we just all drop everything and taco bout this place for a second!?? La Divina is the taco place you need in your life, a little divey hole in the wall magical place where tacos and delicious food come to life. Very well kept and ethnically perfect, culturally strong, and such a great fun atmosphere. Definitely a gem! Menu is basically tacos with various proteins and a few others. But prices are $2.50-$4.00 for a (super large and delicious) taco with cheese + sour cream $1.00 extra but totally worth it! The potato veggie taco was truly my favourite, so full of goodness!!! Steak was great, and shrimp was marinated perfectly. Cannot wait to try the other proteins out! But hold up, it gets better, the corn taco shell is outta this world!!! I could literally just eat those! There is also a large drink selection and salsa + fresh topping bar and everything is so delicious!!! If you are in Buffalo and near delaware TRY LA DIVINA! Best tacos I've had to date and most authentic too! read more

It's been a few years since my original review; the prices have gone up a little bit, but as this little whole in the wall expanded...there's been some new additions - like vegetarian tacos! La Divina offers some fantastic cauliflower, mushroom and potato (three different kinds) tacos at $2.50 a pop. One of each and a trip to their salsa bar = lunch heaven. The space has been built out with more tables as well and I honestly feel like no one really comes here for the grocery store aspect of it. Who comes here to buy groceries, I mean really...admit it. I still find the tacos here to be primo, despite their huge influx of popularity since starting the taco revolution in Buffalo. After they showed their success with the simple tacos, there are at least 3 other places in Buffalo you can get similar style tacos, but you gotta give proper credit to the first. read more

La Divina Tacos - Tasty veggie tacos (potato, mushroom, cauliflower). 2.50 each - Mexican Near Me - Buffalo, New York

It's been a while thank you yelp for reminding me about this great taco restaurant in Kenmore. Sit down about ten tables stand up area if you're inclined! A good amount of tacos tamales rice beans and a multitude of bottles and cans of beverages including a wealth of Mexican fruit based sodas. The staff is always pleasant and helpful. Today I enjoyed a Barbicoa- brisket taco and a chorizo taco. I loaded up at the condiments bar there were hot mild and medium hot sauces, guacamole, cilantro,onions,radishes,roasted peppers and Pico De gallo to enhance your tacos or rice and beans sides dishes. The beverage I tried was a Mundel apple soda that was light and refreshing. The place is no frills quickly serving food get in and get out type of establishment. There is a refrigerated case next to the cashier by the front door that had a few different pastries and flan that looked delicious. I always eat too much and forget to try them next time for sure. read more

La Divina Tacos - Loaded fries, chicken tacos, shrimp tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Reasonably priced and full of flavor, La Davina serves up one quality taco! I dined on the Al Pastor (pork and pineapple) and the Barbacoa (braised shredded brisket) and they were both delicious. The salsa bar offers several different options from simple onions to pico and at least three different salsas choices (it looked as though a fourth option was missing). If you aren't into hot, definitely go for the mild or hot salsa, though I found the Super Hot to not be too crazy. The atmosphere inside this restaurant/store combo was lively with a nice musician background that wasn't overwhelmingly loud and friendly staff throughout. Definitely would recommend going back and though I don't know their usual busy times, Saturday at 3pm seems to have a steady flow of folks coming in for some tasty tacos. read more

This is a huge place. There were 4 of us and we ordered a bunch of tacos. All the tacos were so good. I would rate chicken tacos the last. It was plain grilled chicken. It would be nice if they add some spice to it. I absolutely loved the fish tacos, it was a good sized grilled fish. The salsa bar was amazing and had everything that I could wish for ro load my salsa with especially the grilled jalapeños. Great price point too. Service was fast. read more

La Divina is my husband's favorite spot. There is no question about it. Once when we were there, a group walked into the restaurant and once they figured out that they had to get their own drink from a cooler AND put their own toppings on their tacos, they laughed and walked out. It was for the better. Not to be a jerk, but if you're anything like that group, don't come here because this place is not for you. A lot of people who I know rave about La Divina. It took me many visits to find something on the menu that I really loved. Why did it take me so long? I finally realized that I don't like corn tortillas! Once I made that conclusion, all was right in the world and I was able to find two menu items that were perfect for me. My go to is the Tortas, formerly known as Las Cemitas. This is a Mexican sandwich with avocado, lettuce, onions, jalapeños, mayo, queso and your choice of meat (I go with chicken). It's grilled and just as delicious as it sounds. If they aren't cooking up tortas for the day, I go for the chicken quesadilla which is pretty standard, but it is made with a flour tortilla, which I prefer. I heard that they recently added chips and queso to their menu, which I've yet to try, but I am excited to do so! They play Latin music in the background and the place is decked out with Latin decor as well. All of the workers are very friendly and have smiles that make you feel welcome. read more

Wow, you don't get more authentic than this. I visited here for the first time with a friend that raved about it, and he wasn't joking. It used to be more store than prepared food, but now it's mostly about that. We each ordered three tacos, chicken/pulled pork/brisket for me, beef/pulled pork/brisket for my friend. The flavors were out of this world and the taco shells are homemade and delicious. The offer a taco toppings bar to add more deliciousness to your tacos. My favorite out of the three was the brisket, it just had the best flavors and melted in your mouth. I was full after two and had to share my third because I couldn't finish it. This is the real deal, and super affordable. I can't wait to go back and try more! read more

After hearing so much about this place and craving tacos, I finally made it and I'm so impressed with the variety of options here. I one asada and two pollo tacos with cheese and sour cream. The sour cream and cheese are 0.50 c extra but so worth it! I loved how we can add toppings and sauces from taco station, the variety of topping that we can add are so many and had so much fun adding them, the food felt so authentic and so delicious! The staff is so friendly, I'll be coming here again and I like how clean and spacious this place is! I love that the food here is affordable too! Truly a gem in Kenmore area for Mexican food, and must try when in Buffalo. I can't wait to try the other foods and drinks on their menu! read more

For Mexican, this is Buffalo's best keep secret! They have made some interior renovations in the past few years, but it still has the casual, quick, street food vibe going. I have never been disappointed here, the food is always fresh, authentic and delicious! They have added a few new things to the menu, like tamales which were amazing. It doesn't matter which taco you pick, they're all great. The torta is another menu favorite, do yourself a favor and get the Torta. Service: All employees I've encountered over the years are friendly. If you don't know what to order, just ask and they'll make a recommendation. read more

La Divina Tacos - Interior - Mexican Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Haven't written a review yet so here is a quick one. I've been here countless times. The Birria tacos just aren't even fair. They are so savory and rich it's just a win. If you come here and don't get at least one, you're messing up. The win for this place was back a couple months ago. My girlfriends brother got married. The awesome couple were just down the street at the church, and wanted La Davina. Not gonna lie, I would too. I showed up with 25 orders. The owner and I put tables together, they slammed out tacos. It was chaotic, but it worked out wonderfully. This is hands down the best Mexican restaurant in Buffalo. My next intention is to finally get outside my comfort zone and try some more interesting meats like tongue and stomach. read more

Very good Mexican food. Fast and real. Lunch not too crowded. Taco are very tasty and made to order.

The food is tasty and authentic. The videos tacos are excellent. We truly enjoyed it.

Authentic Mexican! Very limited menu but we only come here for tacos. If you're looking for burritos, enchiladas, sides of rice and Mexican salad- this is not the place. Their birria tacos are incredible - some of the best in Buffalo. read more

I love it here. It's authentic, cheap and the tacos are good. Get the birria tacos! And I love that they sell other Mexican goodies.

This is such a wonderful place. One could possibly call it Divine. I found the place impeccably clean and the smell of fresh Mexican food was intoxicating. I loved how helpful and how kind each of the employees were also, they made ordering the best option easy. I was so happy I came to this store. I found some of my favorite sauces to put on my Mexican food to spice it up, including a green habanero sauce and Tapatio. I also enjoyed the selection of cane sugar Mexican sodas, including the delicious Guava. All in all this was such a treat, having come to this store once, I will be back. What's not to love! Great Tacos, authentic products, this place is a treat for the senses! read more

This is what you need to know, when you come to La Divina Mexican Store. Contrary to what their sign says, they are not a grocery store. The best way to describe this place is, calling it a true hole in the wall. Entering into the so called store, you automatically feel like your in a frontier country. This is the type of place when your away on vacation, and you ask the locals where they eat at. So you leave the hotel or resort your staying at. You walk through a few rough neighborhoods, cut through those wet dingy alleys you see in the movies. Then just when you think your lost, that's when you see La Divina. So you can see, this place is far from fancy. You can eat inside, they have a few tables. The menu is on a chalkboard, behind the register. The drinks are all behind you, in the fridgerator cases. Today I ordered the birria tacos, and Tai had the chicken along with barbacoa tacos. I never heard of a birria taco before, especially a taco you dip into it's own au jus sauce. Here is my take on this taco, it's a hearty taco and its actually pretty good. These fried tacos come, with nothing but beef and cheese. I enjoyed my taco more, when I top it off with the condiments from the condiment stand. The fresh onions, cilantro, and salsa, gave this taco a fresh compliment. I will be coming back on those days, when I want to eat what the locals eat. read more

Ok BUFFALO, NY and the rest of the World! La Divina Mexican Store has got to rate top 10 authentic Mexican tacos worldwide. Lord please help me, cause words cannot describe how the palette is engulf when you eat one of their tacos. Listen people, I can't make this review express what you truly taste so it's definitely difficult to write. It's heaven wrapped in a corn taco that would be my best description. Ok let's get into the nitty gritty of it all, so this establishment is somewhat of a small grocery store in the back area. What happens in the front is called "Michelin Restaurant Rating", if one could rate a dish or food for true authenticity La Divina would totally receive an award for its taste and authenticity. The food is only cooked to order nothing is cooked in batches and sitting for hours until someone decides to purchase it. When you place your order it is cooked right at that moment in front of your eyes, it's cooked and seasoned to perfection every time. The ingredients are fresh no question about that, the meats used are also freshly seasoned to an authentic Mexican taste. I've visited three times now and I can't express my joy and happiness as I write this review, every time has been totally a delightful first time to me. They are the best tacos in Western, NY PERIOD! No questions asked and no need to try to even think if there is a better place for tacos - this is it! If you haven't eaten their tacos you aren't a taco lover. Buffalo you must eat here! Stop giving your money to Mighty Taco, Taco Bell or any other wanna be called Mexican food restaurant - this is your last STOP - your palette stays here, Lol read more

Cannot believe this restaurant isn't busier. It is seriously the best tacos in WNY! So fresh, amazing ingredients and variety (not just tacos!). We find any excuse we can to come here. We typically eat out and take to go. I like to get the shrimp or fish - it comes with onions, so good. My husband likes their quesadillas and Birria tacos. My 1 year old loves the tamales! Great prices and always friendly service - seriously, how do they make your food so quickly?! read more

The most delicious and fastest food and trust me I'm picky! We got barbacoa, asada, pollo, nachos and everything was authentic and full of flavor. Salsa bar to customize your tacos with toppings. Great service. Would 100% come back again and again!! Thank you! read more

I visited La Divina for the first time this past week after many recommendations from friends, and I understand why! I ordered the chicken quesadillas and a birria taco (which I've never had before), and it was definitely worth the hype it's been getting on social media. The service was quick and I placed my order and received food within 10 minutes. So let's break this down from the beginning to the end: The cashier that I had was very sweet and she had answers to my questions (like... what meat is in a birria, what would you recommend for a newbie, that type of stuff). She even opened my glass coke for me which saved me the impending hassle of trying to open it. When I got my food I peeked inside the dessert cooler and saw this chocolate mousse cake with whipped cream that I knew I needed to get... so I did. The birria taco is small but hefty. I was full after one taco. The quesadillas were a bit dry, but nothing some salsa couldn't fix so I won't complain about it. The main attraction to this show was the chocolate mousse cake... I almost bought the rest of them out to keep in my fridge at home because they were that good. In short/TLDR: I will definitely be giving this place many visits when I'm thinking about Mexican for lunch/dinner. And you should too! read more

Authentic and good! How else to describe but these words. La Davina has a simple setup and feel and does a really great job at the foods they prepare and serve. Location is great in a walkable business district in the heart of Kenmore. read more

Good, but it has definitely gone down hill from when they opened. Corn tortillas are now bought from Chicago, WTF? , topping bar is ok , place is clean, Their Flans the best , I've ordered from every Spanish or Mexican place I've eaten in the 2 years and there's is definitely the best, but still not as good as my sisters. read more

I feel like La Divina was great when they first opened, they had some issues and lost some people, but they've regained their former excellence. Don't hesitate to go. Getting a bit pricey though, but so is everyone else. Birria Tacos, Ribeye, Carnitas and Lengua tacos are all wonderful. The toppings bar is consistently fresh and good and clean. They cater to the people like me who like hot stuff with the hot tomatillo based salsa (the red/brown colored one) and roasted jalapeños. Fresh cilantro and fresh pico, too. Tortilla chips and queso are as good as any other place and go great with the tacos. Love the grocery items, bought things there in a pinch, like tortillas, corn meal, hot sauce. They'll sell you meat too if you ask. Nice people, too. Same folks every time. Usually pleasant unless it's insane busy. Highly recommended. read more

I honestly don't know what took so long for me to finally make it in here, but my first ever trip was last week. I love love love Mexican food, I could honestly eat it every single day. La Divina offers a truly wonderful and authentic take on Buffalo's Mexican fare that simply cannot be overlooked. How it works: 1. You order your foods at the register and pay. If you are getting a cooler drink, bring it up with you to order. 2. The tacos, quesadillas, etc just come with meat. Cheese and sour cream are .50 extra. 3. You can get meat on the chips and queso. Get the chicken. 4. Once your food comes out, visit the toppings bar to top everything off to your satisfaction. 5. Feast, enjoy, contemplate ordering more though you are bursting. I'm not a big fan of corn shell tortillas, so I was happy to see quesadillas on the menu. I ordered a large chicken and cheese quesadilla, and a chicken and cheese taco because I just had to try it. The husband ordered three tacos- 2 pork and 1 chicken. We got an order of chips and queso and added chicken. Everything tasted absolutely amazing! Fresh ingredients make a world of difference. I loaded up my quesadilla with cilantro and salsa verde and put the guacamole and pico on my taco. Also, definitely get the horchata to drink. I'm so addicted I can't wait to go back. read more

La Divina Mexican Store has some of the best and most authentic tacos I can find in Buffalo. Tacos here are extremely affordable and extremely filling. I can never pass on a taco or two here and a glass of Jarritos. They have a topping bar with lots of options and sauces. They do charge extra for queso and sour cream ($0.50 each so $1 for both I believe). This isn't a fancy restaurant, so don't expect elegant seating. They have a small parking lot, but depending on what day you go, it can fill up quickly. If you some some AWESOME tacos, definitely check this place out! read more
