Gramma Mora’s Mexican Restaurant began in 1980 when Mercedes and son Charles opened their first eatery on Niagara Street. Despite a 1996 fire that razed the original spot, the family’s resilience led to a new Hertel Avenue location in 1999, now adorned with the iconic Gramma Mora’s sign. With over 40 years of excellence, the restaurant, named after Charles’ grandmother, Juliana Mora, has become synonymous with authentic Mexican cuisine in Buffalo. The Giovino family’s dedication is evident, from overcoming setbacks to expanding in 1987 and introducing frozen specialties in 1994. Today, Gramma Mora’s legacy endures, offering a traditional family setting and a rich tapestry of Mexican flavors to delighted customers.
Modest locale where Mexican beers & margaritas chase tacos, enchiladas & various combo platters.

We are off the lunch for dinner menu as we don’t eat much. He had the fried oysters and I had thd chicken salad sandwich. Both were very good. Highly recommend. A lot of seafood on their menu. The water scenery was fabulous! After we got there, there was a bit of a wait so go a bit early.

After moving to Buffalo from Las Vegas 4 years ago, I have searched for a restaurant with authentic Mexican food like we were used to eating on the West Coast.
Tonight I searched for restaurants near me, and saw Gramma Moras. I looked at some pictures that fondly reminded me of the food I ate so often in Vegas made by families who were new to the states.
My son and I came in to find a cozy atmosphere. Unfortunately we didn’t come on a night with live music (from the schedule it looks like normally on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays are the nights to come for a variety of bands).
Mary, our server immediately greeted us with a smil3 and brought us ice water, chips and a deliciously sweet and tangy salsa. I ordered the Arooz de Cameron and my son ordered the Aztec burrito. Both were definitely a great choice! Fresh ingredients, made with expertise and love, and a feeling of a local-known restaurant and bar like the show “Cheers” was in the air. Staff greeted many customers by name and happiness and laughter was present throughout our visit.
Their story is amazing. They were one of the first authentic Mexican restaurants in Buffalo over 100 years ago! I took a picture of it if you would like to read more.
Definitely a great place for great Mexican food and a positive, fun and familiar vibe!

I’ve been coming here for 30 years. I miss the old place on Niagara but times change. I dont care what anyone says. I love it. Lorraine our usual waitress is so friendly,accommodating and funny af. We always enjoy our meals. Never had a bad experience. Will continue to come here. This place has the best green chili sauce in Buffalo. I also love the vinaigrette. I could drink it. Everything is so fresh and delicious.

We dined here for dinner on a week night. The weather was beautiful, so we sat outside. The service was great and food was delicious! We usually do not frequent Mexican Restaurants as I do not usually like anything other than quesadillas. I ventured and ordered the Chimichanga dinner and it was wonderful! I cannot wait to go back! I have recommended this restaurant to so many people in the last week as well! My husband has a dairy allergy and they we so understanding and took care of everything for him!

Your food could be the best in the world but if you can’t get your act together to get your posted hours on Google to be accurate then you’re losing me as a customer. After I spend 20 minutes agonizing with my girlfriend where we’re going to eat today and we finally pick a place because it’s open and then drive 20 minutes to get there only to find out that their hours are wrong, we’re not interested in coming back.

I’ve been going here since I was a kid. As any Mexican style restaurant, they’ll start you out with chips and salsa. They have a really unique and delicious dish called “Sopa” the best way to explain it is almost like a Mexican spaghetti, very mild in flavor but I absolutely amazing. It’s such a nice atmosphere at Gramma Moras , being on Hertel in the summer time, and sitting on the patio is a vibe. A great family owned business, with a friendly, welcoming staff, and delectable dish’s

The food was “ok” it could have been more authentic, i had the chicken chimichangas and I think the chicken was boiled, not fried, and for what you get the prices are kind of high. So 3 stars from me, mainly for the service!!

We’re new to Buffalo and wanted to try a local Mexican place. We ordered the huevos rancheros and the bowl of chili con carne. Both of them were delicious. We also really enjoyed the salsa; it was different from any that we’ve had before. We will definitely come back.

Completely butchered my order and charged me extra for no reason. Asked for a garden burrito from the menu and reinstated the items on the menu, and was instead charged $24 instead of $14. Also asked for the guacamole to be inside like it says on the menu and was instead given on the side. Also informed them I had a dairy allergy several times and they still included cheese in my food. I also ordered a cheese quesadilla with chicken and was instead charged for a mexican pizza and was given ingredients I don’t want or eat. Want a refund and will never order here again.
