As far as the location goes, I must say they have very limited parking spots(but we found a spot). Parking spots were tight. However, there is ample parking at the big box store across the street, and they are on a bus line. They are not near other restaurants but stand out based on the loud Mexican music and big sign that has a Mexican flag Over all the service was friendly, attentive, and quick(especially considering how packed it was) They give nachos on arrival, sort of like how restaurants normally give bread, which were okay , but the salsa was bland. The lime margarita was amazing. I got the beef enchiladas, which were tender and loaded with food didn't quite pack the punch I was hoping for. My mom and my wife got the nachos with chicken;they didn't like it. So I tried it to confirm the following: the nacho platter with chicken was bland, with very little crunch. It looked like it was sitting around for a while as far as value goes, my wife's beer was more expensive than my margarita, which is a plus if you are an alcohol drinker like me but not for a beer drinker, obviously. The portions on my plate were small, but there were so many different items on the plate that blended together fairly well that the small portions didn't matter too much. And lastly, the smell of the place was nonexistent, which is odd IMO for a small restaurant.

My best friend and I wanted to celebrate our birthdays together, as we have been doing every year for eons. It ended up being in August this year. I did a search and found Los Cabos Cantina & Grill. I liked what I saw and sent her a link to the vegan menu. She was down going here. We came here after waiting for the thunderstorms to die and a good afternoon of retail shopping therapy. We drove over here in our vehicles. I actually missed the right turn into the parking lot. I did quite the 360-degree turn into the parking lot to fix my boo-boo. I nabbed the closest spot to the back of the eatery. My friend was parked further back. We grabbed our birthday presents and walked in. The patio with floral accents looked lovely to enjoy a dining experience when we aren't under an orange alert for hail and thunderstorms! We were promptly greeted by a young woman. She said that there was only bar seating. It was fine. We got a cozy corner table. I got booth seating. I'm 5'10" and my feet did not touch the ground. My friend is a bit shorter than I am, so I'm glad that we sat where we were. Anthony was our server. He was exceptionally attentive and answered all questions that we had about our drinks and food. My friend got these items: - Water - Pina colada mocktail - Vegan ensenada enchilada The pina colada mocktail is vegan. She loved it. It looked yummy and festive. The downside was that a female staffer, maybe the manager, came over and said that there was no vegan cheese. It was a downer. It was 5:30 pm on a Saturday night. As an eatery with a vegan menu with cheese in many dishes, wouldn't you have stocked up and planned a lot better? She stood there with a smug expression on her face. Okay, so there aren't any alternatives? It felt awkward. Anthony jumped in. He said that he would bring more vegan sour cream. That was better, although my friend would have wanted the vegan cheese. It's the only reason for taking a star off my rating. No vegan cheese for a vegan menu with items containing cheese is sad. My friend asked me if I read Yelp reviews before I visit a place. I typically don't. However, after not having any vegan cheese, I read them. We are probably the only folks who have experienced this issue, as Yelpers haven't experienced a shortage of it. Anyway, she loved her vegan enchilada plate despite not getting any vegan cheese. It looked amazing. She was stuffed and said that it was yummy. I ordered these items: - Diet Pepsi - Big D's burrito platter with shredded chicken I was thankful that I didn't have a large lunch and that we didn't order appetizers. The burrito was massive. It looked like a log in front of me, with rice, refried beans, and cheese, all bundled in a flour tortilla. My friend asked if the log had cheese on top. It was ancho mayo, which provided a smoky, tangy taste to each burrito bite that I had. It was delicious. The shredded chicken was tender. Everything in the burrito was perfect. It took me a long time to finish it. This platter had refried beans, rice, and salsa. I felt like I got twice the amount of refried beans and rice in this dish. It was extremely filling and flavourful. My friend asked me how many Diet Pepsi drinks I got. I kind of lost track. Shopping makes me thirsty. I also needed to down this massive burrito with a beverage or many. I think I had four drinks. It may be a record. Each one was cold, fizzy, and the perfect amount of syrup. We opened our presents. It was nice doing it in a quiet, practically private corner. It was the perfect place to celebrate us and catch up. My friend using the washroom first shortly after we had sat down. I went towards the end of our meal. The women's washroom is by a small wall smack between the dining and bar areas. It's a single stall. Clean. No complaints. Anthony was great. He always made sure we were good. We paid at the table. He brought dual payment machines. Nice! We talked about my friend's plans to go camping. It led to talking about seeing bears and moose. I have seen both, but on road trips in Manitoba and Ontario. Despite the vegan shortage, we had a fabulous time. The food was delicious and fabulous. Our server was excellent. (346)

Not to be confused with "Mexican Pradas", knock off handbags. Hidden in Albion, NY, this secret…read morespot has some of the very best tacos & sopes in the USA. Named after race-car driver Lorenzo Llamas. Luckily he doesn't use any of his infamous namesake "Llamas" as meat here. Gives new meaning to the query "como te llamas?" And to "alpaca lunch for you." Lorenzo's ex-wife is Shauna Sand, but she didn't teach him to make food this good. She looks like she's never had a taco in her life. Yet she does have a taco. It's well-publicized, everyone's seen it. But the point is, Lorenzo Llamas does not use Llamas to make his tacos. What to get: best authentic sopes & tacos this side of Steve Guttenberg's basement And: tortas are really good too Plus: real mexican sodas and coke with real sugar, plus free menudo on fridays Tips?: 5 types of salsa or more. Dark smoky red one is not always available but is the best. Yellow oily watery alcoholic one with big chunks of pepper in it is delicious. And: Amazing customer service. The teenage boy and young girl are absolutely adorable. The owners are great too. The female chefs are lovely, if very busy. They've served me at 8.57pm even though their food takes 15 min to make, and they close at 9! Fantastic. Warning: only open 3 days a week. Fri, Sat, Sun - late morning, until 9pm. Don't here too close to 9. If you do, then get it to go. If this were a high fashion taco outlet, it'd be Ralph Laurenzo's. Whereas if Mariska Hargitay owned it, it'd be Lorenzo & Order: Sope Victims Unit. But then we'd have problems, and I don't think we could solve 'um. The amazing smoky salsa does look like "bad blood" come to mention it. Not that I know much about blood. Unless I'm drinking it in the middle of the night while avoiding crosses. I can't believe this exists in WNY. Not only is it authentic, it's one of the most delicious taquerias in the country. It caters almost entirely to Mexicans. Several employees don't even speak English. It's part of a Latin grocery store filled with delights. But the true gems are the hot prepared foods coming out of the kitchen. They only make 3 things here, if you don't count the delicious, greasy Menudo they hand out free on Fridays. (1) Amazing tacos. (2) Even better Sopes. (3) Very good Tortas. While the tortas are fantastic and the bread is heavenly, I'd recommend skipping them, since (a) they cost $8, and (b) the $5 versions down the road in Medina (Monte Alban Truck) are even better and covered in Mexican white cheese. But if you do get a torta here, smother it in the smoky dark red salsa, and always ask for avocado on it. The food is from Chihuahua in NE Mexico, by the Texas border. The tacos are heaven. The sopes are better. They're similarly sized and priced (around $2 each or 5 for $7), but they're quite different. Tacos are floppy soft corn tortillas, 2-ply, loaded with bits of your meat of choice, plus onions and cilantro, then salsa, radish & lime on the side. Sopes are harder, thicker, greasier squidgy doughy chewy fried corn bases, like a mini pizza bases, topped with meat of choice as well as cream, cheese, onions, cilantro and whatever else. Similar to "picaditas". The sopes win, although both are perfect. Meat choices: Cabeza and Tripa - brain and intestines, nah. Lengua - tongue, nah, but my brother had it, loved it. Asada - bits of steak, delicious. Pollo - I usually skip chicken but the spiced, marinaded, smoky flavour here is amazing. Carnitas - really good stewed pork, give this one a try. Barbacoa - juicy, similar to Carnitas with beef. Worth a try. Pastor - star of the show. Dark, smoky, delicious marinaded pork. Asada, Pollo and Pastor are my faves. There's a reason Lorenzo's only makes 3 things, and why it's always packed. It's absolutely freaking delicious. Salsas: Green - hot, tastes a little of guac. Light Red - very hot, tastes of fire. Dark Red - hot, deep, dark, smoky and rich, by far the best one. Yellow - super hot, do not try it. Yellow with bits of peppers visible in it - hot, delicious, made with alcohol, the 2nd best. Try all 5 but be careful. They are so hot, they will burn your mouth out. Also you can get Jarritos soda (try Mandarina and Tamarindo) here. And Mexican Coke regular (1.85) and medio litro (2.50). All soda made with real cane sugar and you can really taste it. One of the best taquerias in the USA. You absolutely must get out here and try it. It makes no sense that Lorenzo's exists so close to Rochester and Buffalo - two cities with no authentic Mexican (except the home cooking of Buffalo's Valle - tacos and tortas are not the best items). Need affordable lease housing? Look for "low-rent-homes." Packet of mints just fell onto the floor? They're "low-mentos." Have an intimate knowledge of the former Fu-Gees singer? Then you know "Laurynsholes." And you know you'd better watch out. Some girls are only about that thing. But this is not that thing, nor any of those things. This is Lorenzo's.

Well, little did I know, there had been a fire which had caused the closure of businesses in the strip mall.

Our 'old faithfuls' were still in the menu... tabasco combo and chicken mole! We order a takeaway but they are open for dine-in. This restaurant NEVER lets us down.

First of all, there are too many table and chairs in the restaurant area. So much so that if someone has their chair pulled out a little bit, it's really difficult to sit comfortably. Secondly, it is very obvious when they are busy the server (singular) becomes overwhelmed very quickly. We didn't receive chips and salsa as is normal for a restaurant like this. Also my drink never came because the person said he was off his rhythm. I don't think it's a rhythm, I think you have too many tables for a restaurant of that size, even without taking into account take out orders or delivery apps. The food I had was very good though. I loved the mole sauce, it was not too choclatey, and not too spicy. It was very well balanced. My partner had the Pollo poblano though, and there was not a poblano to be seen. I was initially confused why they had Pollo Con Mole and Pollo Poblano but no Mole Poblano. I think it's because there's no poblano used.
