I did not know Lockport, NY could throw down like this! WOW is all I can say. Customer service was a 10/10, the vibe was cozy, extensive menu and great prices, huge portions. The BEST birria tacos I have ever had in my life, without exaggeration.

The staff/family were so inviting to everyone. Even before I ordered my food I would give this spot a 10/10. The food was absolutely delicious! Super fresh ingredients and lots of flavor! The place was also spotless!

If I could get 10/5 stars for service, I would. This place is amazing and the owner is always so happy and full of life. My favorite things there are the fish taco, the ribeye and shrimp taco, and the birria nachos, but honestly everything I have ever gotten there has been wonderful and full of flavor. The food always comes out fast and fresh. What brings me here to leave a review today is the tres leches cake. I ordered one for my birthday this weekend (9×13) and it was the best tres leches cake I have ever, ever had. I could eat the whole pan in one sitting it is so good!! His daughter clearly takes great care in her cake making and I don’t think I’ll ever buy a birthday cake elsewhere so I hope she makes them long term. I’ll be dreaming about it till next year, thank you so much!

We couldn’t have had a more flawless experience here. The food was amazing. The service was fantastic. The atmosphere was beautiful.
Manito greeted us when we came in and was at the counter awaiting for us to order. He gave us a breakdown of everything on the menu within 30 seconds. We ordered the birria tacos and quesa-birria. The food was ready within 5 minutes. Fastest service I’ve ever seen. The sauce bar was clean and fresh. Everything we ate had so much flavor. The vibes of the dining area were lovely. Great hispanic music and a nice sunny day. I’d only wish this was closer to Buffalo because I would be a frequent customer.
Overall, this is a must try for everyone. It was a bit of a drive but so worth it.

Stopped in here for lunch. Very good place to eat. Owner is super friendly and genuinely cares about your food and service. If you like Mexican food, stop here for lunch. Be advised, it can be very busy here but they get the orders in and out quickly. This is not a sit down and wait far a waiter place. You order your food first, they’ll give you a # then when your order is ready. Pick it up, add whatever condiments you want then go find a seat and eat it.

This place knocked me off my feet!! I ordered 2 burritos, an order of churros and 2 margaritas. Everything was absolutely delicious!! They have a toppings bar that has everything. And the staff…they are the nicest, most accommodating people. I definitely recommend!!! Now I see what the hype was all about.
