Popular Mexican place. A short wait since we chose to sit at the bar. Service was fast and friendly. Had 3 dollar draft specials. About 6 different brews on tap. The molcajete was some of the best I have had. Huge portions. Would definitely go back.

I really enjoyed my meal here and being able to eat outdoors. The service was truly spectacular. I love the fresh homemade salsa. Its a nice spot on elmwood ave that everyone should try!

Getting two burritos to go took 30 minutes. it was 2/10 as far as burritos go. I would say Chipotle is is infinitely better than this place. Shame since I really like supporting local restaurants during the pandemic. I got violently sick afterwards.. didnt even think you can get sick from a chicken burrito. NEVER going here again

Great atmosphere. Attentive staff. Good food.

Great atmosphere with awesome menu options and a small outside patio. If its your first time here I would recommend the shrimp tacos or the Santa fe burrito. We also find them open more frequently than other restaurants in the area especially during these times.

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!!!

Mexican food at this location - super good. looking forward to coming back with my relatives. this place has a great atmosphere.

Food was pretty decent. Buffalo doesnt have many genuine Mexican restaurants, but in spite of that, this one is a good alternative. The service was attentive and the beer was cold.

The food was pretty good the first time I came, but the server we received today ruined our experience the second time around. We will give it another try and just pray to God she won’t be there the next time we come.

Great as usual! Never been disappointed.

Always delicious & great staff, that make you feel welcomed. I love this place.

Awesome spot with a great menu. Free chips and salsa are tasty. Margarita was delicious. Main courses ha the right proportions and seasonings. Would certainly visit again!

Our first time visiting. Shrimp soup was delicious and definitely a meal on its own. Texas fajitas were good and enough for 2 of us to share. Tamale temp could have been warmer however, Jane immediately offered to have remade. Janes service was awesome and we enjoyed her personality very much. Maria was knowledgeable of the different Tequilas. She also was pleasant. We had the pleasure of meeting Nicole before we left. Great service all around. We will return for sure!

So happy another Mexican restaurant replaced Agave after it closed. Went to Aguacates for the first time since it opened and was very impressed! Sat outside on the patio and enjoyed a cold Pacifico. Our meals were delicious! I would definitely recommend the fajita quesadilla (pictured below)! We will definitely be frequent customers here!

Server was excellent, Food was good and the drinks were good as well most definitely will be back!!

Guacamole and chips tasted ok but didnt have enough avocado. It had big chunk of onion and tomatoes very little pieces of avocado. The server forgot plates and napkings. Drinks where not made as requested.

I placed a phone order and was told it would be 15 minutes. It was actually 40 minutes. And my food was cold. No remnants of heat. You would think that with restaurants supposedly suffering during the pandemic, they would have better service to encourage repeat customers. Wont be wasting my time or money there again.

Love this place. I eat here at least twice a month. Recommend a hand crafted margarita Bartender Noel is the best around. Thankful that i can get the salsa to go. Food is so so good!

Food was delicious and dishes are huge. Went twice in a row.

There was a nail in my carne asada tacos, didn’t order it!

The food is delicious and the staff is very professional, courteous and efficient, especially Jasmine and Noel

One of the better Mexican food establishments... I never had a bad time here. Music can be too loud at times for a conversational dinner but food, beverages and customer service makes up for it. They also have a few (I may have counted 4) TVs in there to make it a football Sunday spot. FYI, the Sante Fe burrito is life.

Excellent Mexican food. Is expensive but good

Me and my husband went and ordered pick up around 9 pm last night, paid around $30+ for a main dish and an appetizer, got home and saw the mess.When we opened the the box, it looked half empty. It was like we got the scraps of the night, it was so bare. The chicken we got was underseasoned, the salsa was bland, and the quesadilla appetizer we got looked like someone dumped a whole tub of sour cream and sauce in the tub. The quesadilla it self was no bigger than the chips we got on the side.I hate being this person to bad write reviews because I give businesses the benefit of the doubt, but this place was terrible. The only good this was the customer service skills.

Delicious big Margarita! Great warm fresh chips and tasty salsa. Excellent service. Great prices. Relaxed atmosphere. A must visit.

Good food at a reasonable price. Fast and friendly service. If you’re in the area it’s worth stopping in.

Great food and great service on my first time experience yesterday! I’ll be back for sure!

Agave but dare I say even better? Classic Mexican style cuisine and delicious Margaritas.

Came here to watch Mexico play Korea in the World Cup. The food was really great. We got burritos, beer, margaritas, and chips. Wow, were the burritos good! I just got a regular lime margarita and it was alright. I might recommend trying their premium instead. But it was still good. They have 2 TVs and a projector which was really nice to watch the game on. Its a small enough place to allow for good visibility anywhere.tl;dr Great place for food and drinks!

I enjoyed the veggie burrito and replaced the cheese sauce on top with their regular burrito sauce and let me tell you , I was not disappointed!!! It was huge and so filling and delicious. I also really liked the variety of vegetables they used in the burrito. And don’t forget about their chips and salsa and amazing margaritas! Definitely would recommend

Amazing food and service

Went on Cinco de Mayo, which was obviously going to a busy day. Had to wait outside with about 20 other people and finally got in to give my phone number by 6:45 when my food was supposed to be ready at 6:00. I went home because I live close by and got a call just after 7:30. While normally this is a crazy wait, I dont blame the staff (although they should have had more people working on 5 de mayo) because they were hustling to get people their food and their attitudes were good. They were doing the best they could, and the food was still good. I think the Doordash and Grubhub orders were overwhelming on a day like today. Some people were clearly frustrated but the staff handled it really well.

The complimentary sweet tea was hot and sweet. It was very relaxing and got right to ones core. The lamb koftah is a must have, but request how much youd like it done. The default on this dish is very well done, so I would recommend upfront specifications on doneness. I guess this applies to all of the dishes.

Good service. Good food. The owners daughter is getting married. So, the atmosphere was warm and family friendly.

The food was great and so was my Aguacate margarita....BUT. they did NOT have ANY HEAT on in the place and everyone was FREEZING! We all had to keep on our coats just make it bearable and several customers walked out after coming in and realizing just how COLD it was inside!!! I like the place but this was a very STUPID thing for them to do.

This place can be crowded wild and hopping. It is a sporty looking Mexican Bar and Grill. This place is really going for a more contemporary feel with the lighting and layout then a rustic cantina feel. Either way you will have a fun night if you go here. Grab a shot of Tequila!!!!

Ummmm.... all I have to say is Taco Tuesdays are the JAM! Good food, staff & neighborhood. Whats not to love! :)

Authentic sushi restaurant ️

Overall , the food and service was great!

Great service and very reasonable. I have the fajita enchilada which was massive. The frozen strawberry margarita was lovely.

A staple for me and my wife - tough not to hang out with Noel at the bar but awesomeness to go will have to do

Unsanitary place. Servers breathing on customers food and not wearing masks in accordance to the Executive Order.

Best bartenders good food and the best margaritas

This place is fantastic!! I adore the chorizo plates there! Servers are fantastic even when it is busy!! The food and drinks are amazing!!! One of my favorite restaurants in Buffalo hands down!!

Nice little place on the Elmwood strip. Food was very good. Moderatly priced and the staff, very friendly. They have a LARGE selection of Tequila, including some very high end bottles and our waitress was quite knowledgeable on the various brands and styles. I was in HEAVEN!!

Awesome bartenders... Food is excellent. Probably the best place in the entire state for taco Tuesdays

The food was excellent and do was the service. It was our second visit in the past 3 days. Highly recommend! Well most definitely be back when were in the area again.

Amazing food, and service. Really good.

Delicious food,beautiful atmosphere. I love this place

This was the first place my husband and I ever went to when we first moved here and they were awesome and kind. Weve gone back multiple times since and the quality is consistently really great. Honestly they have the best carnitas Ive had a restaurant. My mother in law is from Mexico so my husband can be picky about Mexican restaurants, and he loves it here.

The staff are so nice and the bartender is GREAT! But most importantly, the food is ALWAYS good. Wednesdays they have buy one get on margaritas which is always a good time. Ive tried just about everything on the menu and havent had an issue yet. Definitely a great place to go to in Elmwood Village.

I love the fajitas here. They do something extra with the beef and meat sauce here. Chips that go with the guac are good, salty, my favorite.

Great place, great food, friendly service and atmosphere. Went there our first night in Buffalo and didnt need to look for anywhere else the next night!

Ive been here twice now and havent been disappointed with the food at all. There is a small hassle of parking on Elmwood, but if you go at the right time its really not that bad. Its also usually full - its a small restaurant and not room for many tables- so expect a wait. This second time we were able to get a table outside, which is always worth waiting for.

Small unassuming place but the food and atmosphere is great.

Great Mexican restaurant ! Yesterday I brought my co workers for lunch and they absolutely loved it! Great food and drinks !

Love it here! The shrimp and fish tacos are SO DELICIOUS and the rice that comes on the side. This is a great place to hang out with friends, order drinks and just chill. Theres free chips and salsa. I love to order a side of guacamole too (it tastes so fresh and I love it). They have good priced drinks as well. Their strawberry margaritas, regular or frozen, are great and well made, not too strong but not too weak. I recommend this place if youre looking for a nice chill spot to go to with good food and drinks.

I got a burger that was literally just beef and cheese (I guess I just assumed there would be more) and it gave me a stomach ache. My boyfriend got a quesadilla that was soggy on the bottom which is a sign that it was sitting in the window too long. Im no Gordon Ramsay but the whole meal was bland

Absolutely Amazing! Everything on the menu is wonderful! All around excellent experience every time weve been there.

Great margaritas and service!! Bartender Mike was great!!

Amazing food and good place to go every weekend

Amazing authentic Mexican cuisine!!! Service was great and fast. I highly recommend!

Really friendly staff and some of the best Mexican around. It does get busy at times but the staff always deal with it perfectly.

Love that bartender Brenda, shes the best!

Nice ambience. Very good food

Really good food! Free refills, and free chips and salsa at the beginning of the meal. The customer service is unbeatable. There was a slight mix up with my meal that could have happened anywhere, and they gave not only me, but my husband and all of our friends our meals for free! Highly recommend this place!

Always good eats here. Very small place so there is not much seating. You will have to wait for a table during peak lunch and dinner times.

Wow this food is good!!! We went during lunch and were seated immediately and served very quickly after we ordered. On top of that the food was Amazing!! Authentic Mexican dishes and they tasted incredible, reasonably priced as well!

Great food, very busy place, both inside and outside, but staff was friendly and cheery. Definitely going back again.

Molgate was the bomb

Friendly and courteous staff. Food taste great.

The service here is truly terrible. The waitress was unapologetic about a hair in my food and acted resentful when I asked for a soda refill. Do not expect your food in a reasonable time even if the restaurant is half empty. Every time we asked for something she acted like we were a burden and made us wait an absurd amount of time. When she came back she’d say she forgot it. Fajitas were bland and we never got the salsa or hot sauce we asked for.

Worse mexican Ive ever had. Worse meal and experience Ive had in a restaurant in a while. Waitress was awful. Chicken was the texture of something that was left in a microwave to heat up and then forgotten about. I would have sent back but I just wanted to get out of there bc the customers were annoying and the place was understaffed. Maybe its better during down hours or if youre there more for drinks bc I was really suprised to see a lot of good reviews on here with how bad of an experience it was

The place was clean and the food was good. Took awhile to get our food though. We ordered nachos and were only one of three tables there

Get the Monster Margarita to split (or not). So worth your money and they certainly arent cheap with the tequila.

Food, service and atmosphere are always great

Have only gone here one time, but I am sure to go back. The staff are close knit and extremely friendly and service oriented. The dinner starts with a generous basket of tortilla chips with mini carafe of spicy tasty salsa. I had the quesdadilla fajitas and they were delicious. They were served hot and came along with a healthy portion of rice and some delicious refried beans. The prices are very reasonable as well.I plan to return again some time soon. It was a very pleasant dining experience.

Me and Holly went there for dinner last night it was happy 32nd anniversary Exxon I would never thought did that little Mexican restaurant would have that good of food anybody up cuz it hasnt had it needs to try it its really good its probably more than bitter places that weve been to visit much Mexican restaurants around this one is was worth the trip downtown and have us has off-street parking

Wonderful waitresses and overall service. Also, by far THE BEST Mexican food and frozen mango margaritas Ive had!

Great dinner.. had the fish tacos

Great place, prices are decent and food was very tasty. Place is small and so service is prompt.

Slow service and cold food

Always friendly staff, above average Mexican food, awesome margarita choices, and exceptionally clean bathrooms.

Wonderful food, great service, and laid back atmosphere make this Elmwood gem stand out.

WsHad the Me and a friend went there to have dinner it was great I chicken burrito and steak its

The food was very good. The portion size was a little small compared to most Mexican restaurants. But all and all a good place to eat.

Great service and good food

Nice place to go out with friends. I loved the mango margarita

Good Margaritas. Food okay. On street parking.

Horrible horrible horrible customer service on a Thursday afternoon. They become indifferent and don’t even acknowledge your presence. The whole restaurant smells terrible inside. Fine if you don’t have a good sense of smell

This place was wonderful authentic food great service too!!!!

Ordered takeout and on the order i wrote cheese dip on the side instead of on the burritos because it is sometimes spicy. Not only did they put the cheese dip on the burritos, they also wrote on the receipt cheese dip in burrito. Thanks for making me waste my money

Quick service. Burrito was smaller than I anticipated, but overall it was good

Love it, dont miss the fish Taco

Stop asking me every time i pass by a place these apps are intrusive

Amazing food and service

Great staff & food was wonderful!

Excellent will keep on coming back truly excellent food and service Noel the bartender brought good vibes to the table

The food had gone downhill since it was Agave. I still go often because of the patio, but something is wrong each and everyone I go. Last time I was impressed that I received my package pepper in 5 minutes. The reason was they were pre-fried and served unwarmed from the fridge. Ugh. I frequently have to get up to ask for beverage, silverware, etc from a staff who is busy chit-chatting.

Went there with the family, we got sat. About a minute later they sat someone next to me, they took their drink order, brought them out right away and got them chips, we were ignored the whole time. Needless to say we left and went to El Agave in Cheektowaga where they always make you feel at home and the service is impeccable. I will not waste my time again at Aguacates.
