Not very happy with their food. It seemed way overpriced and had little flavor. I don't think I ll be going back. Much easier to go to a real restaurant. read more

I wasn't aware that Lloyd used such high quality ingredients. I now understand why the price is a bit higher. I do encourage everyone to try Lloyd at least once. I doubt you will be disappointed. And if your like me and don't enjoy food trucks don't forget Lloyd has a restaurant location. read more

Had Lloyd's once and was completely disappointed after all the hype. Chicken was extremely dry and very little flavor. Unsure how they call their food Mexican, but whatever it is is overpriced tasteless garbage. read more

A.B a few reviews down really hit the nail on the head. This place is the most overrated, overhyped and overpriced restaurant in Buffalo. I work downtown and I cannot believe how many people wait in line for such an average product. Are the tacos good? Yes, generally all mexican is good. There is a lot better Mexican food around that you don't have to wait 45 minutes to get. The cult following that this place has is crazy. I think my main beef with Lloyd is the Kickstarter program that they ran. They raised money from their paying customers to obtain another food truck so they could be in twice as many places. This has yet to happen. I can't believe that the people that donated to this company that is making PROFITS aren't upset that they were lied to. They scammed 12k off their paying customers so they could get a new truck to replace their old one. They took donations to pay for a business expense instead of using the profits that their company was generating. Mind Boggling that people donated but you can't blame Lloyd for taking advantage of that. Overall, they do have good tacos, but the lines and the overpriced food isn't worth your time. Go get a bag of mighty for the same price as one burrito from this place. read more

Hipsters LOVE this dive on wheels. What else do hipsters love? PBR. Does that mean PBR is good? No, In fact it's vile. Lloyd's is the same concept. Hipster dufaces wanting to be unique have embraced this truck. They don't care that it's all hype bound up with a pretentious ribbon. I tried some Lloyd's on Saturday night on Elmwood Ave. The nachos were soggy when I got them and the taco was not only bland but had hard things in it. I assume bone. Lloyd's is a joke and I am glad that these hipster jerks aren't welcome in Amherst. Hopefully people will wise up and let this business dwindle. You know - the business model that asks its customers to BUY them another truck. LOL. read more

Lloyd's is tasty. I haven't met a taco I haven't liked, simply put. I enjoy catching them during late night excursions. Although, last time I visited them, the truck was tucked away in the back of the First Niagara parking lot on Elmwood, between West Utica and Anderson. It was very dark in the back and my only concern was for the safety of the two women running the truck that night. Usually, they are parked closer to the street and traffic and people. And on this account I truly worried for their well being on a dark and rainy night. People can be mean and I would hate for something to have happened to these two women. So, please be in better sight, for your own safety. Your food is delicious and sinful! read more

The great thing about Yelp and its users is that it/they can lead you to places like Lloyd's. How else would I have known on my trip to Buffalo that there was a truck driving around town churning out some of the best tacos and nachos around? I kind of wish I tried more of their taco selection (I only tried their fish option, which was crispy and delicious), but the Tricked Out Nachos were calling my name. I ordered them with extra chicken (a whopping 50 cents more) and spent the rest of the afternoon in a food coma. Do yourself a favor and find out when Lloyd's Taco Truck is going to be in a neighborhood near you. It'll take your work lunch from the ordinary to the extraordinary guaranteed. read more

I know we've had out Food Truck debate up and running in buffalo ever since food was served on trucks... That being said, good food is what it's all about.. and Lloyd will NOT disappoint. I've had almost everything you can order from these guys and while it's served from a truck, it's prepared with Love. Both Lloyd and Teddy are far too trained to be lumped into a category of people just trying to make a few bucks slinging pulled pork. There is honest to goodness culinary talent in this truck, and the taste will prove it! I've long been a fan of these guys, and if you follow me you'll notice 5 stars is quite rare.. I have to feel that 5 stars is the best you can do in the city of Buffalo and this truck, these tacos, is absolutely a treat to have in our great city! Check them out at http://whereslloyd.com Or stop by on Main St behind the Hyatt downtown.. I see them there Fridays for lunch almost every week. read more

This update is for VEGETARIANS: The corn shells are fried in lard. Fortunately, when I ordered the bean tacos, the person taking my order thought to alert me that these were not vegetarian. So, kudos to them for knowing their product and their diners. (I ordered the burrito and it was delicious as usual!) read more

Everyone raves about this and the line is always so long. So I was like I need to try this I waited in the line and got the nachos with everything on it. The cheese sauce was cold and there was more black beans than chips the amount off jalapenos were enough for 3 orders of nachos. There was so much topping left over in the box. The tacos looked small for the price and way too much cilantro. Its a very fancy taco and did not appeal to my taste I have had better tacos for less money. The owner has reached out to me personally and asked for more information. That right there has turned my experience around. I will give them another try because maybe it was a one time experience! That's great business when someone isn't happy to reach out and make it better. read more

Lloyds finally popped their burrito wrapping cherry. I've gone back a few times now since my first review and they have improved. I'm giving them 5 southern california approved stars because they are without a doubt the BEST and ONLY mexican place in Buffalo. And if you argue any of that you've probably never ventured father the Southern Tier or Rochester. Their Rocket Sauce is a spicy rojo sauce with their own ingredients added. Their tacos are filled to the brim, have two corn tortilla layers and only $2.50. Their burritos are reasonably priced at $6.00 are well wrapped and also very filled up on the inside. The Tricked Out Nachos are the BEST NACHOS I'VE EVER HAD. If you're smart and you like good, simple, and uncommon food, then go to Lloyd's. Whatever you do, don't get ripped off at Cantina Loco. That place is a joke. On it's customers. read more

Good lord, believe the hype. I hadn't had Lloyd's until this past weekend, though I've heard about them since they started rolling around. I recently moved offices and discovered they're only a few blocks away every other Monday. I got to try them last Saturday at the opening of the Horsefeathers community market and again yesterday. Bar none they're the best tacos I've ever had. Granted I've lived in Buffalo all my life and so I probably haven't had "real" tacos before this, but it was a party in my mouth and everyone was invited. Between the two occasions I went I got all four kinds of tacos (pork, beef, chicken and bean) and a cup of butternut squash soup. The beans didn't have the same flavor and texture as the meat did but everything was excellent. I got a beef taco to take home for my wife and then ate it. I don't even feel bad. read more

Heaven from a truck? Yes, it exists...at the corner of Main & Mohawk in Downtown Buffalo. I arrived right off the Metro at Noon sharp, and saw the first sign that the place was fantastic...a line. It moves by quickly, however (of course, I visited right before the main lunch rush occurred) and after placing my order, it only took a minute for my meal to be created. There's a park with shade across the street (more like across the Metro tracks) so I sat there and enjoyed. I got a $5 burrito instead of $2 taco, and while unwrapping it, even before taking a bite, I knew that I was getting my money's worth. You can get braised beef or tomatillo pork or beans (of you're a vegetarian) or cilantro chicken. I ordered the chicken not because of meat preference, but with a personal opinion that anything Mexican is immediately better with frsh cilantro. And indeed, my opinion was justified: hot and juicy chicken, steamed and moist tortilla, cool and pungent cilantro. One hell of a delicious combination. Yet while the burrito was out of this world, believe it or not, it wasn't the best item on the menu. That title goes to the grilled corn that you can order as a side. The juicy corn itself world be delicious, but a drizzling of garlic-chili butter truly makes this superior to any street-vendor item I've ever tasted. As for drinks, nothing fancy there: just a cold, satisfying can of Wegmans pop. Buffalo is known globally for Duff's chicken wings and Charlie's beef-on-weck. Hopefully Lloyd's street fare will join that list too. read more

Drove into Buffalo this weekend for the Small Press Book Fair which was being held at the Manuscript Library. This place has nothing around it in terms of spots to eat, and since we were there all day, everyone was starving! In a flash of genius, Lloyd's truck came by around 1pm and had a long line all day as everyone hungrily waited to devour some delicious tacos. This was my first time ordering from them, but it certainly won't be the last! We ordered beef, pork, and chicken tacos and they were deliciously messy, stuffed with succulent meats and fresh cilantro and cabbage. The hot sauces they offer are both incredibly complementary. I also tried the chili, which was piping hot and wonderfully spicy. For four tacos and a cup of chili, the total was $9. Wishing I could get this type of fare at home! read more

So I had lloyd for the first time today. I ordered their nachos. It was OK it's mixed white meat and dark meat chicken, they put some kind of crème fraîche on their tacos I'm sorry nachos, and I'm not a big fan of it. It kind of taste so strange with all the other flavors. The workers at the truck were very very friendly though. But I think Llyods is a little bit overrated. read more

This is my love letter to Lloyd Taco Truck. I'm willing to admit when I have an addiction, and that addiction is to Lloyd Tacos. I am willing to wait in absurdly long lines for their food, and for good reason, since it's delicious. The sight of that big green food truck sends my stomach into a frenzy. It can be right after a meal and I'll still get right into line. The flavors are always spot on, fresh, and all around wonderful. I am slightly obsessed with the rocket sauce (which they now sell by the bottle). The prices are so reasonable, especially for the size of the portions. If you see Lloyd, please let me know so I can drop whatever I'm doing and run to the location. read more

Go away LLoyd. I don't like you for: 1. not having anywhere to park downtown on the street 2. having a line on a dark, rainy, windy day 3. expensive prices for the amount of food 4. the food not being that great 5. eating the food in the back of the car like hobos 6. not having enough napkins for the gross corn (it was like corn with mayo and spices) Now go, drive away. read more

They come to my office building every Thursday and I look forward to a Lloyd lunch more than I should! The staff on the trucks are incredibly friendly. Their food is delicious as always. The truck menu is more limited than the brick and mortar restaurant but they do always offer a special and a variety of specialty sides. The tricked out nachos make the perfect lunch, as does the el camino bowl. The line is always long but they are always worth the wait. read more

Lloyd's taco truck is as close as you're gonna get to west coast tacos without leaving the east coast. It reminds me of this taco truck I've visited when living in los angeles! Their fish tacos are damn good, especially with the chipotle mayo, and you can't go wrong with their chicken tacos either. I wish they were around more places that I frequent so I can try more things on the menu, but everything I've had so far was pretty tasty. While waiting in line one night outside the thirsty buffalo, I heard the tricked out nachos are orgasmic. Lol I think I'll try those next time! ;) My only complaint is that I wish they had another truck and that they'd come out to more places for longer periods of time, but maybe that would take some of the fun out of it, if i'm not chasing Lloyd down! who knows? read more

I get genuinely excited when I realize that Lloyd's can somehow be fit into my weekday lunch schedule, and I go about once every couple of weeks. The burritos are great, but they're so filling that they tend to make me sleepy later in the afternoon. Instead, I generally get one pork and one beef taco - unless they have fish tacos, in which case it's one pork, one fish. Each taco is served on 2 oiled/heated corn tortillas, then the savory marinated pork or beef is applied - and each of those is delicious. The marinade gives them a little kick, and the beef is braised & the pork is slow-cooked in a tomatillo marinade, leaving it pulled & moist. Then you get some grated cheese, some cabbage, a squirt of dressing, a squirt of rocket sauce, and some cilantro. So simple, so good, and two is plenty for a lunch at only $2.50 each. The fish tacos are a bit different in that the tilapia is breaded & fried, and the taco is served with some awesome chipotle mayo. Lloyd's is hands down the best street food in Buffalo, and worthy of your support. No wonder they have lines of people standing & waiting even in the worst weather. read more

Tomatillo Pork, people. Tomatillo. Pork. I love pretty much anything coming out of Lloyd that has the tomatillo pork, it is so perfectly married with all of the flavors Lloyd is dishing out. My usual is the pork taco or pork burrito (with extra cabbage, love that crunch!). And OHHH, the pickled red onions!! YUM. So, I have also had the beef, which I prefer only on the Tricked-out Nachos. My husband goes for the chicken burrito every time, but I just don't love it as much as, well you know, the pork. Every time there is a special I try to get it and have thus sampled the Lengua(tongue)- very good, the "Big Lloyd"- very good but I'm not gunna sugar coat this, it hurt my intestines (as expected with a Big Mac like burrito, I mean c'mon!), the Skinny Thai- one of my favorites, and El Pastor- LOVE. I was also lucky enough to sample a shaved steak taco that was delicious, flavored and cooked to perfection (I just don't remember the official name). I don't drink soda, but my husband is crazy about all of the Jarritos flavors they have. I do love there seasonal Mexi (recently re-named from Aztec?) Coco. It has that yum-yum Mexi spice to it, really hits the spot on a cold one. Every truck employee I have encountered so far on the OG or Dos has been ridiculously friendly and has gone above and beyond in service, including making 'special' cheese quesadilla's for my 3year old. AND on occasion, when they're not too busy, I have been blessed with a Big Boy Quesadilla special- Ah-meh-ZING! LASTLY, I had them cater an event at my home. At first I thought the prices were too high, but after I got the food (and amazing service) I realized I wasn't paying for quantity but quality. Delivery was on-time and set up was flawless. I'd do it again for sure. So, you get that I love Lloyd. read more

Today marked my first lunch from Lloyd. I ordered two hot tacos with black beans. I am a happy customer. The chimichurri, cilantro and lime really tied the tacos together. read more

I'll have to preface this review by stating that I have never actually made it to the front of the line to place an order at Lloyd's. I tried to go here once. I was not successful -- it was during lunch hours, and we waited in a huge, barely moving line downtown before realizing it would probably be another 45 minutes or so before we'd be able to order. Needless to say, we gave up. The reason for the two-star rating is the line: We ran into a friend, who said he had just waited about 45 minutes for his food, and that this was totally normal for the Lloyd's truck downtown in decent weather. I'm just not willing to wait that long when there are so many other good places to go in Buffalo where you can sit down and relax or be in and out fast. If I were to rate the food only, the rating would be a little higher. I have had Lloyd's when a coworker of mine offered me a taste of her nachos, at the Artvoice Best of Buffalo party and at a friend's house for dinner. It was hit or miss. NOTE TO VEGETARIANS: It appears that the taco shells at Lloyd's may be warmed up in pork fat, though you can ask for them not to do this: https://twitter.com/SCanfield716/status/401046853707239424 https://twitter.com/whereslloyd/status/401069479234637824 read more

UPPERCASE LETTERS DO NOT DO JUSTICE TO LLOYD'S. Cheating on Valle of Mexico, my usual cheap Mexican destination, has never felt so right. Every part of my hot bean taco was packed with flavor - the shells were cooked perfectly, the black beans were tender, and the cabbage added a certain je ne sais quoi. The Mexican soda was pretty tasty too, and the entire meal came out to be less than $5. I look forward to trying specials that can be veganized, and the loaded nachos look pretty great for hungry late nights. However, I stood next to the truck for half an hour like a fool waiting for my order to come out (hence the four star rating). It was busy, granted, but the wait was definitely an inconvenience. Bring something to amuse yourself. read more

Ok, so I was a little hasty with my last review comparing Lloyd['s] Tacos to McDonalds. I have feasted at the truck a number of times since that last review, and much like the Mayans (with their end of the world prediction coming neigh) at the hands of the Christians I have been converted. I realized my problem revolved around Lloyd['s] burritos. The rice and/or beans overpowered the flavor of the meats, and it was basically like any other burrito in town. Then I tasted the tacos and they blew me away. They are good, I mean really, really good. The shells are all hand pressed corn tortillas, with an ample spattering of thinly sliced cabbage, cilantro and their salsas. However, the real winner are their deftly roasted meats. Out of the normal choices I prefer the pork. It is slowly roasted, stringy and imbued with deep Mexican flavors. The chicken is also quite delicious, also slowly roasted and well spiced. My least favorite is the beef, not a lot of fat coming through, but it certainly works in a pinch. If I had a lingering complaint about Lloyd Taco Truck it would be the lack of choices. About a month ago I had traditional Tacos de Lengua (Beef Tongue Tacos) which were meaty and delicious. Not even the finest Mexican establishment in town (Cantina Loco) has served la Lengua as far as I'm aware. This was a ballsy move by the truck, but they haven't served them since. I miss them, bring them back. They even put a twist on their pork a few weeks ago by adding a special citrus sauce, and again it was quite excellent, but I have not seen it since. Their specials are always excellent, but ephemeral at best, leaving me disappointed that I have to relegate to the standard choices (which are pretty damn good though). These guys have some real talent in the kitchen, they just need to showcase it a bit better. Finally, for all of Buffalo's Food Truck Fanatics, Lloyd deserves our praise and admiration for standing against the Man, being constantly fined, and fighting archaic food truck regulations which limited their ability to peddle their wares in one of our more stodgy towns (what, who said Amherst??) Lloyd['s] use of a machete to cut through red tape has helped craft the infrastructure which now governs their industry, making way for the less experienced new comer to the scene, which in turn means more food trucks for me to enjoy. Advantage Joe!! In the words of Mama Fratelli: "Thank you Mr. Lloyd, thank you, you've made my day." read more

Not bad. Not the best. The taco was tasty. Fresh veggies. The chicken could have been juicer. It was probably the best item we had at The Tasty of Buffalo. I usually rate based on overall experience. With that being said, one of my biggest pet peeves is when an establishment doesn't go all the way. It was noon when we got our tacos. I asked for some napkins and they were out. Come on man (Chris Berman voice). Serious? It's only noon and you are out of napkins? You didn't pack enough napkin for Taste of Buffalo? Tacos are finger food right? It would be cool if I can clean my hand after eating my taco. Remember, it's the Taste of Buffalo. There are no sinks.... At least give me some napkins to wipe my hands and mouth. It's something very simple. Yes, I am whining and complaining but a food truck doesn't get a pass. YOLO! read more

Originally from NYC, I know a thing or two about good food truck eats, and I am so happy Buffalo has Lloyd's to fill that void! The food here is delicious. I always get the chimichurri chicken burrito. It is flavorful, filling, and spicy. Everything that is wonderful about food. I have tried the braised beef before and that was also very good. The ingredients are what really make Lloyd's the place to eat. Everything is fresh and wholesome. The people that work the truck are also always really great. They always make small talk while I wait. The friendliness plus the great food makes it easy for me to always come back. read more

Lloyd's is my number one go-to food truck when I am looking for lunch in the city. My favorite is the Fish Tacos. It is way better than it sounds, even to those who typically do not like fish. read more

I did not expect to find a taco truck taking advantage of the high school baseball game that was happening outside the planetarium where I work. :) I hadn't eaten and hadn't planned on buying dinner, but I felt woozy in the hot weather and couldn't resist the big green truck. Great tacos, purportedly made of ethically-sourced meats. I had the El Hombre taco with chorizo sausage, and an "Aztec brownie" which maybe was supposed to have a bit of hot pepper in it or something. I couldn't tell. Anyways, great slow-food-truck meal for a little over six bucks. I'll keep an eye out whenever I'm in street food territory. read more

Three stars on Yelp! is "A-OK" which is exactly how I would describe Lloyd's Taco Truck. I know that Lloyd's is Buffalo's first "real" popular food truck, but it also is over-hyped. Don't get me wrong, I love my tacos, but their corn tortillas taste like the ones from Aldi and the prices are a bit high for what I consider "fast food." I love Lloyd's. I love Buffalo. I love small businesses. But Lloyd's is a decent food truck, nothing more. read more

Lloyd, in their bright green trucks, embodies everything there is to love about the rehabilitation and renewal of Buffalo. They were the first food truck, but now they're one of dozens. Still, when they came to my workplace for a special Cinco de Mayo event, the line to get food was over an hour. I've visited them at Larkin, I've visited them at the Boulevard Mall, I've visited them at the Airport Plaza in Cheektowaga. I've had the tricked out nachos, and the tacos. All of them have been great, with nice, fresh, clean flavors. I really appreciate their fusion flavors. Sometimes, they don't allow the special to be on the tricked out nachos (my favorite dish of theirs) which makes me sad. Still, I have zero complaints. Oh yeah, their brownies are awesome, too. If you haven't tried Lloyd yet, track them down and give it a shot. You won't be disappointed. I'm so hungry writing this review, I think I'll track them down tonight! read more

I enjoy my trips to Lloyd's. i pop over when they are in my neighborhood. I know the food will be consistently good. It's not insanely hot (I can handle a medium!) while still being tasty. The service is quick and courteous. I've had the girl taking my order ask if its ok to put multiple (three) tacos in one container only to explain that it is fine because they're all for chubby ol' me. The prices are extremely reasonable considering the atmosphere they serve in. At midnight a drunk guy will pay $5 for a taco, but they're less than $3 and they're really good! I love the Mexican Coca-Cola which has real sugar instead of the HFCS you find at your local market. I always order at least one too many tacos (I'm told its a guy thing), but I still always feel I got my money's worth. It's tacos from the side of a truck, but they're really pretty good! read more

Rain or shine, hot or cold, you can find Lloyd on the streets, providing Buffalonians with unique and fresh taqueria style food. From the rocket sauce to their pork tacos (with pickled onions of course), Lloyd does tacos right. And not just tacos, everything, and I mean everything on their menu is worth a taste. Your taste buds will thank you. Let me start with the ingredients: Instead of the shredded lettuce that accompanies the average taco/burrito, Lloyd uses fresh shredded cabbage, bringing a unique texture, flavor, and crunch to their food (Note: this isn't your grandma's cabbage that has been stewing for 3 days, making the house smell like feet). Once you try it, your tacos wont be complete without it! You'll also notice that cilantro and lime can be found in most of the truck's menu items. The fresh cilantro blended with lime tastes great and is refreshing, delicious and awesome. Rocket Sauce- Lloyd's special sauce, a little spicy, a little salty, a little sweet. Its a party. Must haves: Tricked out nachos- the mother of all nachos. Tortilla chips, your choice of meat (I like the beef), LLoyd drizzled cheese, Rocket Sauce, beans/rice (your choice), cilantro, lime, and of course pickled onions: my favorite ingredient that should be added to any order (I usually ask for extra, yea its THAT good). Next time you go, ask for a quick sample. Crazy Corn- I'm not exactly sure what they use to top the corn, i know its some sort of cheese and spices, but this is an item that you do not want to pass up. This isn't normally on the menu, but is always a go-to of mine when it is. The corn is always fresh, perfectly cooked, and delicious to the last bite. Tacos/ Burritos- personally I like pork or chicken for my meat. Everything is fully flavored and tender. Again, this is another item that is kicked up a notch with pickled onions. YUM. Specials: If there is something on the specials board, TRY IT! The gordo, the tongue tacos (yes, i said tongue, don't judge), fish tacos, duck tacos are just some of the specials I have come across. Not awesome: Depending on the location, you may need to be prepared to stand in a line that can be 5 minutes or 35 minutes long. I would like to see more specials more often or a change in the menu/addition of items. For food coming out of a truck, this is quality stuff. Don't believe me, try it yourself! - A loyal Lloydian read more

Lloyd isn't a taco truck. Lloyd is a way of life. First off, I love the food. Pete, Chris, Teddy and the crew are inventive guys in a city often resistant to experimental flavors and textures. To me, that's admirable. The prices are reasonable, the quality of ingredients is high, the customer service is exceptional. And I'm talking about a food truck. I'd rather eat from THIS TRUCK than most of the city's high-end restaurants. I will stand out in freezing temps, stupid wind and unstoppable snow for a Lloyd fish taco. Who am I kidding? Fish burrito. True story: I once ordered a soup bowl of the hot chocolate because a coffee cup just wasn't enough to satisfy my craving. read more

Love me some pork burrito @ Lloyds' Taco Truck. Always downtown.

The Details: I'll start with the premise that I've never had Lloyd's before and I did not have to pay for this first experience. I've also never been one to judge a movie or restaurant by what other people think. There has always been so much buzz about Lloyd's and I've heard most say "it's amazing" and I've heard quite a few people say "it's good but I don't get why everyone goes crazy for it." I probably fall somewhere in between. I ordered a beef burrito and my coworker got the chicken with mac & cheese. I opted for Rice, Sour Cream and Queso on mine, whereas he got jalapenos. The Ordering Experience: There's nothing like standing in line, in -6 degree windchill waiting for a burrito. The cashier was nice enough and wished me a "good day, my man" which was nice. I heard him say it to to everyone, was waiting for him to say it to the females in line but no dice, lol. Super friendly. While waiting for the taco, I noticed something that didn't tweak my OCD enough to stop me in my tracks but I noticed the jacket of the guy making the burritos constantly bumping up against the gigantic mounds of burrito stuffing awaiting to be expedited out the windows. It even had bits of sour cream on it. Oh well. I'm a fat kid and a little jacket rub never stopped me. Didn't taste downey or dirt. The Chow...er: Opened my wrapper and saw the beast, bit into and tasted freshness. Good sauce, shredded beef, white rice and what looked to be white cabbage instead of lettuce. Very fresh and clean taste. Halfway through, the burrito was completely falling apart, my arm had a very watery medium sauce sliding down it, onto my keyboard...onto my desk, whoops. 3/4 through, I bailed. Took most of the stuff out and made a smaller taco with what was left of the shell and tried to finish it but it was just a saucy mess. The grade: B+ for flavor and freshness but C- for experience. It's no different than if my favorite pizza shop made 3" crust and put too much sauce and/or cheese on it and sold it out of a truck. No matter how fine or tasty the ingredients, appropriate portions make a difference. Bigger is better but be careful. I'm a fat kid (not super fat) and I'm a country boy who likes to fish all summer, yet I'm also a techie who works in a nice office environment. Call me abnormal but I think I'd rather run to another locally owned burrito joint, take it back to the office and not look like a medical procedure happened at my desk. What did my coworker say? Nothing, he was too busy using half a box of tissues at his desk wiping his forearm and elbow off. He had the Mac and Cheese and like I couldn't taste the queso on my burrito, he couldn't taste cheese in his mac. Good ratios are key. Thanks and try it for yourself. You wont hate it, but bring a bib. read more

C'mon, food truck enthusiasts. There's a reason why the line for Lloyd's is triple any other truck at Larkin Square during summertime. And that reason is delectableness... and uniqueness... and maybe also thriftiness... and awesomeness. Ok, those are some of the reasons why Lloyd's has a near cult following in Buffalo. I hope I'm preaching to the quire on this one, but just in case this reviews hits you over your head and drags you out from under the rock you've been squatting under for the past several years, then I need to educate you on Lloyd's tacos. Not the standard "tex-mex" we gringos are typically accustomed to; no lettuce or tomatoes or sour cream. Lloyd's seems to primarily make tacos and burritos made with shredded cabbage and cilantro instead. My recommendation: Grab a burrito with the braised beef. The pork is great, the chicken is fine, but the beef will melt in your mouth! read more

Love, love, love this little gem of a food truck. On a Friday night, I will schlep all the way across Elmwood Village just to get a little Lloyd action at 3 am; it's that good.

Everyone, please vote Lloyd for the best taco food truck in the U.S.: http://mobile-cuisine.com/features/vote-for-the-2014-food-truck-taco-of-the-year/ Support Buffalo, and most importantly, support the folks at Lloyd! read more

I stumbled on Lloyd's for the first time after I had already gotten food from The Whole Hog Truck a few minutes earlier. Despite my fullness, I had to indulge on a taco. I was pretty impressed by the unique flavors Lloyd has to offer -- I actually wished I had seen Lloyd first so I could have eaten more. As the first food truck in Buffalo, they live up to their expectations. The truck is full of incredibly friendly workers ready to serve up some taco goodness. And they're great people as well, dedicated to providing good food with high quality ingredients from local sources and free range animals. At $2.75 a taco, you really do get what you pay for. They use shredded cabbage instead of lettuce which I think is a brilliant idea. It's much more crunchy and satisfying. I could taste the freshness of the ingredients and thoroughly enjoyed the blend of fresh lime and cilantro, cheese, and sauces. I can't wait to try some of the other menu items, especially the homemade queso! That being said, I'll continue following Lloyd around until they decide to finally make a permanent home outside of my apartment. read more

Love LLOYD Taco Truck! It's a great food experience. The crew on the trucks are great -- the fun banter and the appreciative interaction makes you want to return. My favorite is the pork taco, just the way the pork is cooked, combined with the other items like cabbage (who knew) which just gives the taco a great combination of textures. It's delicious. (The meat sampler is good too, but I find I like when I get to the pork taco in my tray.) The burritos are plenty big and another great option, where you can mix rice and beans and your choice of meat. (I follow them from Delaware Park to Main & Mohawk to Darien Park to East Aurora.) When I moved from So California the one thing I missed in Buffalo was the option for good Mexican food. LLOYD hits the spot!! Thank you guys! read more
