This is my favorite Mexican place to eat in the Falls…read more It's not very big, but homey and decorated in a Mexican theme. I have eaten other things, but I can almost never get past the tacos. They are friggin' magnificent. I usually have three, but sensible people will probably only need two. I have tried almost every taco on the menu, and they are all great, but my standard trio is campechanos, lengua, and barbacoa. I love them the most. Savory, and deliciously spicy. They serve chips and salsa, and I'm pretty sure they make both there, and they are really good. They also have a little fixins bar, with cilantro, lime, and whatever else you need for tacos. This is one of my most recommended places to eat for friends coming into town for supper. Every single person I have sent has loved it. There are other Mexican places nearby, but this is hands-down my go-to.

They also had World Cup games playing on a few of the TVs, so if you're looking for good food and good soccer, you're covered. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and the food is consistently outstanding. The chips and salsa are always fresh, the guacamole is always on point, even for someone like me who generally doesn't eat it much, and the carne asada tacos are the real deal, served with fresh pico and a solid side of rice and beans. If you're in the Niagara Falls area and want a great Mexican meal with genuine hospitality, give this place a shot.

If you ever enter a restaurant and it is dead silence, turn around and walk away. Happy people talk! We are thrilled with their tasty foods and there has never been a problem!! The wait help are courteous, nice and cheery, and we see other patrons talking to them before departing, complete with hugs! I can say in all confidence that the food served here will never be that muck others enjoy going elsewhere to "eat", you know, that food is has little taste, has all that good artificial stuff that's bad for you and will eventually put you on the road to the extreme care of a hospital! It's seems WE are one of the few who eat the chicken & fish fish, which is enough for three but I could, and have ate it all meself and often! It's tasty, full of great flavor, and the friendly smiley help makes it even better!! Coming here just to drink is NOT going to a Mexican restaurant.....that's just drinking at a restaurant! We'd rather eat a real meal! That's why we come here!!

It was our first visit, and we have heard so many wonderful things. The decor and vibe are…read morefabulous. Host and waitress were very friendly and welcoming. The owner stopped by the table and conversed a few other times he was walking by. Their complimentary chips and salsa are heavenly. The chips have a southwest seasoning of sorts, and the salsa is not your typical salsa... but a few bars above. We also ordered queso. It was TO DIE FOR. I need to go back already for more chips and dip. My fiancé ordered the tacos... his three were carne asada, adobo grilled shrimp, and the pork belly. He struggled to pick a favorite. He loved the sauce on the pork belly, and decided the carne asada was his favorite. I went with the shrimp fajitas. Very good sized meal. The shrimp were delicious. The Mexican rice was a bit different than usual Mexican rice... seemed more like a blend of other grains, and instead of your typical refried beans, they were just straight up pinto. LOTS of food. We went home beyond stuffed, and still wanting more chips.

When we walked in, we stood at the hostess stand for a bit before anyone acknowledged us or came to…read moreseat us. It looked like there were only about 3 tables seated at the time and a few people at the bar. The restaurant has a cool vibe with bright colors and a VW bus in the middle that you can sit in! So neat! We chose to sit outside on the patio, which was a nice option to have. Once seated we were brought our menus and shortly there after complimentary chips and salsa. We each ordered a drink, one was a non-alcoholic grapefruit jalapeno refresher and the other was an alcoholic watermelon basil margarita. The NA one unfortunately didn't have any heat or flavor at all of the jalapeno in the actual drink, but it was ok. My friend enjoyed his watermelon drink, but only had one because it was a bit sweet. We ordered the Pozole Rojo, shrimp taco trio and shrimp fajitas. The Pozole Rojo was great and definitely my favorite part of the meal. It had a lot of pork in it and I enjoy the hominy corn, which you don't see on many menus. My friend really enjoyed the shrimp as did I; it was very well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The beans that came with the fajita were quite bland, which was disappointing. All in all, I would give them another shot.

The gorgeous hand-painted murals throughout the restaurant create an authentic and inviting dining experience. We enjoyed the Tacorito special, which arrived hot and was absolutely delicious. My partner ordered the four Verde Enchiladas, and while they had a pleasant tanginess, they were packed with good flavor. Located just up the street from Niagara Falls, this restaurant is a perfect stop after a day of sightseeing. We were in Canada celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary, and the staff made our afternoon extra special. They surprised us with delicious sangria and a personally signed anniversary card--a thoughtful gesture that meant so much to us. The outstanding food, beautiful ambiance, and genuine hospitality made this the perfect ending to our day in Canada. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the Niagara Falls area.

This was the first and last time I will ever come to this taco place…read more Nice start to review, don't you think? So we walk in it's not that bad of a looking place inside. They only except credit cards and debit cards, no cash. They are way over priced, and I do mean way over priced. $16 for my three little tacos, which were not even good ,sorry to say. $17 for my son's chicken quesadilla. I took a bite of it and now that was good, not worth $17 but it was good. He should gotten two quesadillas for that price. My other son and my other son's girlfriend both got the homestyle tacos and they looked OK and my son says that he thinks it was almost worth the $15 but still that is really a lot of money for those little normal size tacos. When your food is done, they call your name which you can't even hear it unless you're standing right by the cashier area. So you can't just go and sit down like I was doing, you have to stand right there and wait, which is kind of a pain in the butt ,cause you get in anybody's way who comes there to order some food. Most people are coming in and then leaving, I'm guessing due to the " card only" rule. It wasn't a real comfortable place to be in And like I said, my food was not very good and it was $16 which is pretty crazy for three little tacos. I don't know if the chicken was good or not. I'll find out in a little while. I'm sure. Lol. But no, I will not be returning there.

My other two diners had the Birri Tacos and the Queso (w/Chicken) Burrito. The Birri Taco was more like a chili cheese taco. The burrito did not have much taste. The salsa for the chips was not a traditional tomato salsa. It was over-puréed and had a lot of cumin (or curry!). I would recommend because the grits were very good but be aware of possible disappointments.

They don't know what real Mexican food is? A few months later Senor Leon's opened and when I went there for tacos I was so relieved. The grilled chicken street tacos tasted just like the ones I used to buy when I lived in the South West US. Ever since then, I have been never been disappointed with their food. Don't go by the negative comments. Try it for yourselves. The only thing I feel they need to work on is their drinks from the bar. I once ordered a Sangria and it was old. Other times we ordered mixed drinks and it was always watered down or warm. Get a good bartender and the place would be perfect. I am giving it 5 stars because if the food and service.
