So good, blew me away. Grew up driving by this place but never tried it until today. Would recommend & definitely one of the best restaurants in Buffalo.

It's one of my favorite places to go when I come home. The food has been consistently delicious over the years. I always get a pastellilo, this time I got pernil too. The pernil was seasoned well throughout and so tender. I had enough to eat for two days.

Authentic Puerto Rican food highly recommended by our friend. I've never had this cuisine before so I was very excited to try. We got an alcapurria (cassava&beef) and a pastelillo to start. Then we ordered roasted pork with maduros and beef stew with yellow rice. The food was tasty, very homey and meaty, overall an excellent combination. We also got passion fruit juice whichwas pretty refreshing. I was told that the establishment has been here for a long time, and I can understand why. They're just so good at what they do, and they give generous portions of the meat. The place itself doesn't have much seating area (which is totally okay) and they only accept cash, so please prepare ahead of time! Definitely worth it!!!

Food is absolutely delicious. The customer service is excellent. Well worth waiting in line to order, pay and enjoy the food.

Great place to either try something new or have something familiar. They serve Puerto Rican cuisine here and it's amazing. Decent prices and great quality and service. I would definitely recommend coming here if you are in the area or in the mood for good food. You can sit and eat or get stuff to go. There is a great bakery across the street too!

I love their food but the chicken is smaller and staff don’t listen. This is the third time I’ve gone to the restaurant and they messed up my order. I only asked for all dark meat this time. I don’t get it I get white meat and I don’t open the food until I get home in Niagara Falls so I could not change it bc they were closed and extremely far away from me

Niagara Cafe is a great place to get Puerto Rican food on Buffalo's West Side. If your getting take out stay at the counter and your order will be taken. If you choose to sit down, you just go ahead and pick your own seat. You will be served as soon as possible. Their chicken is rotisserie style and flavored with sazon and other goya seasonings. The skin is crispy and very tasty. While cooking the chicken the top racks continue to spin and the juice drips to the next row of chicken underneath. This helps in keeping everything juicy. Their pastalios ($2.50) are very good, but becareful sometimes they can be a bit greasy but the flavor is over the top. I always get the family meal that consist of a full chicken with beans and rice for $18. Well worth the price, especially considering how much food you get.

Chicken and rice, get some!!! Flavorful and tasty! beans are a perfect side dish, but worth trying out everything in the menu. Price is awesome. Definitely a good stop.

I ordered from Niagara Cafe through Uber Eats and requested a side of carne guisada gravy for my rice, but there’s no note section in the app. I called the restaurant and asked if they could add it, and the guy on the phone was rude and dismissive. He claimed it would “mess up all the Uber orders” to do it for me and said the bag was already closed, even though the driver was still there waiting. They also told the driver they didn’t have any gravy before I even called, which just wasn’t true. The food itself was good, but the garlic sauce was not what I expected, it was a weird red sauce, not the usual garlic mojo. Overall, solid food, but the customer service and honesty need work.

Taste Buds!

I like the patio outside of the restaurant but it is to close to the main door and customer park right there. Also garbage is to close too many bees and flies. Lunch special are always on point. Cashiers never give you a receipt.

TRUTHFULLY, after ordering this pure garbage. Rice no taste the beef and chicken hard as a rock. I'd rather eat dirt. Never ever ever ever again.

The young girl takes my order. I give her the order she gives me the wrong order. I drive all the way home to South Buffalo from the west side to give my son our food. The food is incorrect. I have to drive all the way back cause this is the third time out of the last five times that they’ve given me the yellow rice and I don’t like the beans at all so I don’t eat them. I get back there. I give her the food. Tell her she gave it to me wrong. She just fixes it gives it back to me with cold beans never said she’s sorry never offers anything. Never tries to give me my money doesn’t try to replace. It doesn’t try to fix it at all. I’m a general manager at a restaurant. That’s so unprofessional it’s disgusting and I usually eat there about twice a week. I will never come there again. Beware because I went back to take my food back and the whole line was complaining because they weren’t taking the orders, they weren’t writing them down. They were skipping with other people.
