Taqueria Cielito Lindo Buffalo Reviews
OMG! Nom Nom. This would be my Last Meal. So delicious and these are the most authentic tasting tacos I've had in the area. On average about $5 a taco. Can't recommend enough.
Totally and highly recommend checking this place out! Super great food and willing to grill you up literally anything you’d want!! Highly recommend the pulled pork and pineapples! Their salsas are top quality!
This is my favorite restaurant in the entire world. Better tacos than I've had anywhere else. I've had stretches coming here every single day for weeks at a time. Tacos al pastor & camarón (shrimp) are the best on the menu but you can't go wrong ordering anything here. This is my first stop when coming home every time!
I really enjoyed my experience. Simple easy. Order at counter. One pick up food when number is called. They have like 20 diff taco protein options. Birria. Barbacoa spicy steak chorizo al pastor and the shrimp were all delicious. The pork tamale was tasty. Good chips and queso. The horchata was great. Margaritas are also great. Thank you
Fun place, great salsa bar, friendly service. Food was very good. Meat was tasty if perhaps very slightly on the drier end. Tortillas flavorful but also a smidge dry. Prices reasonable. Would def come back.
Great food, plenty of options. Can get a little busy around lunch time, but great for take out, or dining in if you get there a little early. I usually get 3 different style tacos when I go, just to mix it up. I've had the al pastor, carnitas, barbacoa, and chorizo and they've all been terrific.
I come here regularly and always have excellent food, served quickly, and great service. It's often my favorite part of my day. Highly recommend
Cant say enough about this place. The carne asada fries were huge and so tasty and the tacos we tried were wonderful. Favorite thing was the toppings bar where you can dress your items just the way you want them(Pico, multiple salsas, guac, diced jalapenos etc). My wife also loved the English descriptions of each item on the menu. Will return!
Cielito Lindo in Williamsville is hands down one of the best Mexican spots in the Buffalo area. I stopped in recently and ordered the camaron (shrimp) and ribeye tacos—both were absolutely incredible. The shrimp were perfectly seasoned and grilled, and the ribeye was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. You can tell the ingredients are super fresh, and everything is made with care. I also grabbed the chips and queso, and it did not disappoint. The chips were warm and crispy, and the queso was creamy, rich, and had just the right amount of kick. It’s the kind of place where every bite makes you want to come back for more. The quality of the food, especially the tacos, sets it apart. I’ll definitely be returning—and bringing friends with me next time!
As i am biased towards tacos cause i love them, this place was really good and had some quick service. They have a soft shell that is crispy and has a nice bite to it, its given to you with meat they freshly cook, and they have a side bar that you can add your own veggies and sauces to the taco. I ordered the carnitas/pulled pork, cecina enchilada, and pollo/chicken. Out of those my personal favorite was probably the carnitas/pulled pork
Best taco shack in town. Love going here. Excellent selection, and everything well prepared. Salsa bar is always fresh and has a broad range of choices. The only real downside is the prices have increased so much over the years. It's real easy for two hungry people to spend 50 bucks on lunch.
My new favorite taco 🌮 place. Tried 4 different tacos $20. Pork&Pineapple, Barbacoa, Chicken and Chorizo! They even fried the shell for me.Real food Fresh and hot Made to order. Tacos comes with meat cheese sour cream then you top them off with everything else no nickel and dimein you for toppings. Customer service was great and answered all my questions. Will be returning (on Tuesday of course)
The food is very good Mexican street food, tacos, tamales etc. some unusual foods like dried beef and lengua (tongue) the food tastes great. A hole in the wall, not a date place but definitely a good spot for food
There was a little confusion when we first got here for dinner but everything worked out fine. It seems this place was formally La Divina Dos, but has become a new place now. still serving tacos and they're still tasty! I went with a friend for dinner and we both had the tacos (should have taken pics before loading up at the salsa bar). I got Barbacoa and Al Pastor tacos and she had Asada and Pollo ones. All were came with a generous portion of meat. There’s an extra cost for anything extra other than meat and tortilla. We also split chips and queso, which didn’t come with enough queso for the amount of chips they give, but it was very good queso! Definitely be prepared to order some extra on the side. Overall, it was a good dining experience, the staff was friendly, and the food was great.
Called and asked if they have crunchy tacos they said yes I asked are the shells fried by them or do they already come crunchy they said they fry them ..ok perfect we go in store and order a bunch of tacos Tell them we want them all crunchy they say yes get home with a bunch of soft shell tacos and the tortillas were packaged corn tortillas that were old and stale couldn't even eat them might as well put meat in cardboard. The one thing that was good was the avocado salsa
