    Once it found parking across the street...Really lively vibe here! My party of four were greeted immediately and seated promptly in the center of all the action (honestly, the action is everywhere)! Our lovely waitress came over to welcome us with warm, crisp tortilla chips and salsa & water. She was familiar with my friend and took our drink orders. Since I had never visited before, she gave us plenty and of time to view the menu. She answered all of our questions and made great suggestions as to what we'd like. Let's talk about the shrimp ceviche!!! Absolutely, divine! There were chunks and chunks of shrimp and flavor! I could eat it daily. Another one of us had birria tacos and they really enjoyed them. We shared a El Molcajete Dip and this was the STAR of the show! Cheesy and filled with meat! Like, this truly wowed me. Flavor bursts in every single bite! I had the Quesadilla Fundida and I really recommend that. The guacamole salad was super fresh and delicious. The quesadilla was stuffed with meat and cheese---my only issue was that I requested the queso on the side but it was on top. I knew I wouldn't be able to eat it all in one setting and for reheating, I didn't want it to be soggy. The rice and beans were good too. The vibe here is welcoming and super lively. Everyone in there seemed to be smiling and willing to share what they were having to our next visit. Parking was difficult BUT I will attribute it to the plowing and that the place has amazing Mexican cuisine and everyone wants to eat here.

    The greatest Mexican food you will ever have. After seven or eight years of attending this restaurant I am finally making a review. This has by far been the most consistent restaurant I have ever been to in my life. I have been here with my significant other AT LEAST 20 times and I swear every time we go it's actually gotten better. It's no understatement that this will be the last place you ever go for Mexican food if you live around here. I remember the days before they existed as a restaurant, and now after experiencing life with Los Mayas, I can confidently say I would be beyond devastated if it ever closed or anything like that. The other places just do not compare, not even ones I used to like back in the day. Service is always the absolute best, even when super busy and hectic they're fast and the food is up quick. Plenty of chips and salsa, amazing queso cheese dip, perfect Mexican restaurant vibes and ambiance, not to mention they have a salsa bar complete with fresh cilantro, onions, lime and more for you to enjoy. Every meal I have ever ordered here was amazing, there's really not any more than needs to be said. Pictures included of the burrito Gordo meal, rice and beans, carne asada tacos, guacamole salad, and the queso and salsa. Seriously hats off to the management and the team over there at los mayas you guys kill it every time and you guys are the most consistent restaurant I have ever been to ANYWHERE.

    Stopped in for dinner and it was busy but we were seated right away. Ordered the best chori queso around for an appitizer. They also have the best rice and beans and al pastor tacos! Always quick and friendly service! We have never had a bad experience here and the food is amazing!

    Consistently good. Can't go wrong! Great food, service was wonderful with large chunks of inattentiveness, portion sizes were large. Fair pricing. Great music (streaming on 'merengue') Only improvement would be the parking. Not much to choose from, especially on the weekend. And more frequent check-ins from the waitress.

    Had lunch here with a couple of friends. I would say my food was OK. The shredded chicken in my burrito was plentiful but a bit dry. I thought the side of lettuce, salsa, and sour cream was a bit strange. Not sure why it was there. I enjoyed the decor. Our server was excellent. Bonus points for him. The bathroom was very clean. I'd go back to check out their tacos and also my normal go to Mexican dish, the fajitas. 2025-27

    The only Mexican restaurant I've been to here and likely will remain the only restaurant I'll go to. It's that good. If it's your first time here, you will probably be a little confused since the outside looks just like a regular house. But once you walk in the door, it'll feel like you're you just stepped into Mexico. The interior is vibrant and authentic. Basically like a hole in the wall. They give you a free basket of tortilla chips with some of the best salsa I've ever had. And they even have a salsa bar in the back if you want to try other salsas they have and some other stuff. Since I wasn't sure what to get, I had asked for recommendations. I was recommended the Enchiladas, which was so good that I came back again just for them and even took another friend. I also tried two of their tacos, a chicken taco and one that caught my curiosity: cactus. Both of which are great but not my favorite. The other recommendation I asked to be a surprise, and I'll say, I was very surprised. It was something I've never seen before, Molcajete. It came out in a hot and heavy mortar, with chicken, beef, jalapeños, and a bunch of other stuff. The Molcajete and the Enchiladas both came with a side of rice and beans, which were amazing. The Molcajete was great, just what shocked me was that it was $30+. I was recommended the most expensive item on the menu. While my wallet did regret that decision, my stomach did not. To finish our meal, we ended with their Tres Leches Cake. I absolutely love Tres Leches Cake, so this is a must when I saw it on the menu, and it did not disappoint! However I just wish they did not use the rainbow sprinkles, which were hard and ruined the texture.

    How clean is this restaurant?

    It's as clean as any Olive Garden or most restaurants in the Buffalo area. The food was very good and authentic, with good portions, service was friendly and efficient. Not much of a place to look at but you can't argue about their food and value.… 

    Health score isn't great. How often do they get re-tested?

Flavorful and fresh.. All the food was made to order. Came to the table hot. All ingredients were very fresh, vibrant in color and flavorful! I went for the chicken fajitas, that came with beans, rice, little green salad, and guacamole and sour cream. Portions were nice size no need ask for extra. My chicken fajitas were delicious. Chicken was cooked perfectly, sizzled the whole time while at the table. Topped with peppers, onions and mushrooms. Normally not a big rice fan, but the rice was so good, I loved it! At first I was like 24 bucks for fatijas seemed little high, but after coming to the table, felt portion to price was good. Others at the table had the chicken chimichurri and a chicken burrito and they both enjoyed as well. Not in my neighborhood but I'd drive to Lancaster again to eat here.

The kids pizza, well there's a reason why you don't order pizza in a Mexican restaurant... barely cheesed and over sauce (advise passing on that menu option) The birra quesadillas were pretty decent, good flavor, the bottoms were a little soggy but with birra you expect it . Overall, it was a good amp of food for the money but I don't think a return visit is going to be planned.

    It's challenging to compete with the best Mexican restaurant in town, which is actually located…read morevery nearby, but... . Los Mezcales Bar & Grill also has a lot to offer. The menu is extensive and the wait staff was simply ideal. We enjoyed ourselves having a good meal. Whether I was relaxed, I'm not sure :). The early afternoon music selection was great, fun and energetic. Perhaps I ate my food too quickly, but I couldn't help myself. The La Bandera was three enchiladas, one cheese, one ground beef and one shredded chicken, topped with three different sauces. It was good. Maybe if there was more green sauce, it would be even better. The small side of salad with a good amount of avocado was refreshing. From the beginning to the end of our stay, I felt welcomed and invited. I almost took a photo of myself wearing one of the beautiful sombreros placed around the dining room. They looked like new, super colorful and sparkly.

    Our craving for tacos drew us to Mezcales because We heard…read morethat this is the spot for $1 tacos on a Tuesday. Well for $1 taco night they definitely were fairly busy. Our waiter got us set up in a reasonable amount of time at a table that was a "little tacky" and by tacky I mean sticky (I did see someone wiping tables post meals). We ordered a couple margaritas because why not enjoy a frosty marg with tacos and the frozen lime one .... Definitely delivered on the booze. The chips and salsa were a big hit with the little yelper, and the salsa was a little runny for my Liking but it was definitely good. We started off with some nachos and this kinda set the tone for the rest of the meal. The queso on this dish was literally like a runny wet texture, most queso tends to be a lot thicker than this and the chicken was a touch bland, those chips had no chance with this queso, they all got a bit soggy in no time. We also had a heavy quantity of tacos ordered. 3 beef and 6 chicken. The beef tacos were pretty bland, as were the chicken tacos (dripping with water). But for $1 tacos I guess it wasn't too bad. I'm just guessing that the chicken is boiled because the amount of moisture was pretty decent. The beans carried the runny theme as well, with the rice being the most non soggy item we came across. Overall though it's $1 tacos, so we can't set the bar too high with them.

I came here with some family who were visiting from out of town. We wanted somewhere that everyone could eat at since we have omnis, GFs, and vegans. Love that there were options for everyone. However, my partner and I ordered the guacamole azteca which came out with cheese clearly on it and mixed in. I asked the server immediately if it was cheese and he said no, they would never put cheese in it. I had my doubts but thought perhaps it could be finely minced garlic. So we started eating. About halfway through we hit a pocket of unmixed cheese and I stopped eating. Asked the server a second time who denied it was cheese. He claims he also asked in the kitchen and they assured him it wasn't cheese. Well, it was- I got sick that night. My vegan dinner was small- no rice or beans. Just two sad little enchiladas with very little filling. There was a pile of iceburg lettuce next to them with a small scoop of pico. But all in all, the meal is NOT worth the price. The vegan options were the same price or more than the meat options, but came out with half the food on the plate. I felt this meal deserved only 1 star, but the fact that there were vegan options on the menu bumped it up to 2 stars. I will not be going back, I would much rather eat elsewhere in a more quiet atmosphere where the servers and kitchen staff KNOW what they put dairy in.

Because I was hungry, but not hungry enough, I went with two side orders. I got a tostada and a taco. They were fine. My husband got a burrito and finished his meal. If you like a little excitement and party in your life, I highly recommend this place. Employees are friendly.
