Excellent Saturday night (again) at Aguacates, fun and lively atmosphere. Dany was awesome! Excellent service, friendly, and attentive. Just remember if you want to stretch the experience, order guac and queso first and wait to order mains.

Folks, I mean, where do I start. Aubrey was legendary. A true connoisseur of the serving craft. They say you get the perfect server every 1,000 years in this business as an owner to employ and as a customer to enjoy. To be honest, I think we may have found her here in this local Aguacates. Words may not even begin to describe the professionalism, charisma and down right selflessness she may have for the sport. I am truly honored to say that I have been served by one of the greats. Gretzky comes to mind as I write this. LeBron comes to mind as well. A multitude of greats spin through my mind like a novels carousel who continues to show me everyone who is the best in their respective field as they compare to the one and only Aubrey who slings one hell of a trip chorizo taco plate. (Shoutout the kitchen staff too, obvi.) On a day of such extravagance, i.e. USA hockey winning the gold medal in the 2026 Olympic Games. I cannot help myself but cherish greatness when I see it. And with that ladies and gentlemen, I will leave you with what I believe to be a true and honest description of my experience of Aguacates on elmwood with thee goat Aubrey as my server. I hope you all get to relive the same euphoria as I have in this 10/10 establishment. Go Sabres

3 friends out for dinner; we enjoyed our margaritas, one pineapple, one frozen raspberry and one regular. All delicious! Chips and salsa were served, we also ordered queso, also yummy! One of us had fajitas with steak and shrimp, one a quesadillas, and one carnitas tacos. We all enjoyed our food. We would for sure go back! In fact I’m planning to take my husband; he’ll love it! Def go here and enjoy!

Aguacates Bar & Grill on Elmwood is a total gem. The food was incredible — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. The tacos were packed with flavor, the guac was some of the best I’ve ever had, and the margaritas? Dangerous (in the best way). On top of that, the service was amazing. Super friendly, fast, and genuinely helpful. You can tell they really care about making sure you have a great experience. If you haven’t been yet, go. You’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit.

Aguacates Mexican Bar & Grill on Elmwood is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Mexican flavors in Buffalo. The peach margaritas are a standout—refreshing, perfectly sweet, and generously sized, making them the ideal drink to kick off your meal.The burritos are truly delicious, packed with fresh ingredients and bold flavors that leave you wanting more. The atmosphere is vibrant and festive, with friendly and attentive staff who make you feel right at home. Portion sizes are generous, prices are fair, and complimentary chips and salsa set the tone for a great dining experience. Whether you’re popping in for lunch or a fun night out, Aguacates delivers on both taste and hospitality. Highly recommended!

Great flavors, nice ambience, good music. Ended up for an early dinner on a Sunday evening and delighted with the experience. Lots of Mexican hot sauces and drinks to experiment with.

The food was great but I wanted to write a review because our waitress (I think her name was Ideky on the receipt), was absolutely amazing. She made room for the stroller, gave us a seat in the back away from everyone, dealt with our picky orders (and they came out correctly), was super sweet and attentive, and brought us extra chips while we sat there after paying, just talking. She went above and beyond and made our day!

Came here on a Saturday for lunch. Excellent food and great portions! The prices were very reasonable for lunch entrees. We will definitely be back! Everything was SO good.

Our go-to place for when we travel to Buffalo! Totally blows the choices we have up here in north GTA out of the water. The baja tacos and the tacos al pastor are delicious! They give complimentary chips with LOTS of yummy salsa too! Really good portion sizes for the price too. Nice casual place that’s good for lunch or dinner. Service is also great!

Nylina Rodriguez

The food here is delicious. One of the best Mexican restaurants I've eaten at here in Western NY. The service is also excellent. Food is fairly priced and worth every penny. The pictures are of the pineapple fajitas and the chimichanga dinner. Did I mention the food is delicious 😋

Octavian Ciubotariu

Yum! We stopped here for lunch and the food was delicious! The service was quick and super friendly! Prices are just as great. Love the free salsa and corn chips as well. The food came out really fast and quality was not compromised. Full bar with margaritas, a few beers on tap and by the bottle. Bon appetit!!!

Looks delicious and it’s a very large for lunch portion. Had to get it reheated because my beans were cold. Overall it was very yummy! The pork is delicious it tastes home made!!

We went there based on a Google review which depicted a lively and vibrant atmosphere. A very festive amd traditional atmosphere That's just what we got! We ordered fajitas and they were delicious. One suggestion is to have four tortillas instead of the usual three. And to maybe have some tortilla chips that have multiple colors rather than the standard and unexciting brown only. Just because everyone else does it that way, doesn't mean that these guys have to too. In all honesty I found the price high for the quality of chicken that was used in the fajitas. They were strips of meat rather than sections of breast It always helps to stand out and be your own place with your own vibe. Just set yourself apart from the rest. I would definitely go back again maybe a little less close to closing time. Even though it wasn't late, before 9 I'm sure, it did feel like we were maybe being surrounded by staff waiting to clean the place up even though it was definitely not very late. As soon as people seated at the bar drinking got up to leave, the staff seemed anxious to clean up and go. And as we all know, that's never comfortable for the client. So hasta la vista.

Great vibe and decor. Place was clean and tables are well placed, you wouldn't feel cramped up. Food waa also great, real tasty. Some of them too tasty like the calamari but the squid inside was soft. I loved their al pastor! Price point was decent for the food and serving size you are getting. Too bad we weren't able to do cocktails that night. I wouldn't mind coming back. Service was efficient, they've been polite, we know we overstayed a bit.

Food was amazing along with the atmosphere! Loved the buffalo decorations on the walls. Music is quite loud in here just as an fyi. The service was lack luster until our final waitress who delivered the food helped us, it took about 20 mins to have someone come ask us what we wanted for drinks, and they were a soda and a water. We were there on a Wednesday at 7pm so it was not due to the restaurant being busy either.

We walked in, party of 3 happy about our friend's birthday. It took the restaurant maybe 5-10 minutes to accommodate us to a table that fit us. They don't take reservations, but you can walk in, provide your phone number and wait to be called. Our server, Jordan seemed ticked off by us throughout the dinner? Her responses and attitude did not match how we felt walking in. We spent $60 on a marg tower and ordered the nachos supreme. After the service was over, Jordan collected our separate checks and I said "I can pay for mine but she is in the bathroom." Referring to my friend. I finish mine, and she goes "Can you just fill out the tip option for her?" I said "Um I'm sorry no? She's in the bathroom" I've never seen that before, she really seemed visibly upset with us when we were just trying to have a good time. By the way all 3 porcelain side plates you gave us had cracks in them. Would you sit down to use the bathroom on a cracked porcelain toilet? Liability waiting to happen

Overall experience, I'd say it was 3/5. Our server was polite, but that was about it. They weren't necessarily attentive or friendly. We ordered beef Chimchanga and beef Enchilada. The food presentation was good and smelled great. It looked authentic and almost tasted authentic if it wasn't so salty. There was so much salt that we both could only eat half of it and felt very nauseous (because of high sodium). The beans and rice weren't salty, and they were the only way we made it through our food. The salsa and the chips that they brought at the beginning, however, were absolutely amazing. We were so excited to love this place but unfortunately we won't be coming back.

I used to go here all the time until today. I spent $50 just for my food to come with fully cooked bugs in it ! I’m so disappointed I will never eat here again

I had high hopes for this place as when I came in to get a gift card for one of my family members I smelled amazing. I finally got to try it with my wife and kids and when my food finally came out it was lukewarm at best. They replaced the food promptly to their credit however when it came back out the plate it was served on was hotter than the inside of any of the food I ordered. I am very disappointed in the food quality itself. The restaurant did not charge me for the food I didn’t eat and comped the drinks and guac for the table. Service and decor is great food lackluster.
