I was very surprised to see the ratings for this place! This was honestly the best pollo con crema I have ever had. Sometimes with Mexican restaurants it will just be quest and chicken. But this was so flavorful with a bunch of other stuff added. The drinks were good too, definitely a little pricey. Our server was the best ever! We came on the day of the eclipse, so it was super busy. However, she was the sweetest person, and everyone at the table agreed. Since this place is right on Elmwood, I would totally come back a agin for the pollo con crema alone!

My wife and I went here for lunch with our daughter a couple of days ago. Got seated right away and was promptly asked by the server what we would like to drink. After perusing the menu while munching on chips and salsa, we ordered. Our lunched came out fairly quickly and all were quite good. The place is Mexican themed, so clever decorations including the backs of the chairs. Glad we stopped here for lunch.

The ambiance was definitely bright & colorful the energy was definitely In effect!! The service was great, our waitress was very tentative to us, and made sure our glasses of water were full. The food, we started with tortilla chips and salsa. The salsa I enjoyed the chips not so much. I ordered the tortilla soup, as it arrived and I looked at it, I was expecting other ingredients in it. I have eaten tortilla soup plenty of times to know all the ingredients needlessly to say it was very tasteful, but some ingredients I didn't eat. I'll definitely visit again but will order something different. My guest ordered a churro, no complaints whatsoever she enjoyed every bite! It was a great time! Also the noise was average.

Great food. Great staff. Amazing margaritas. Small space so they'll be a wait when it's busy. Looking forward to sitting on the patio when it gets warmVegetarian options: Decent amount. Vegetarian tacos were SO good

Best Mexican in Buffalo in forever! My wife loved South of the Border. Chicken juicy & flavorful. My torta carnitas was perfectly -moist carnitas, soft bread, well balanced jalapenos. The side of Poblano pepper with cheese was a highlight. We'll be back!

Always a nice start when the chips and salsa are good. Chips were thick with a good crunch.Server was friendly and knew the menu and was able to give recommendations. Got a simple choose 2, pablano and relleno. Both look good and tasted good. Beef went well with the pablano. Would eat again.

Good service and quality food. It's a shame that I didn't have time to talk more with Lorianna. - The Dominican
We headed downtown initially looking for a brunch spot and found a lot of places were closed on Sundays. Thankfully, this spot was open. We were seated right away, the server, and the bartender were very nice. We ordered a standard margarita and a spicy margarita. Both were very delicious and very large. For lunch we did a chimichanga with rice and beans and the steak fajitas, both of which were good. Chips and salsa were great. I loved that the salsa was not chunky and had good flavor. The restaurant wasn't that busy, great Spanish music is always a plus. Overall was fast, friendly service, food came out pretty quick. Great prices too for the lunch options.

I got the La Bandera, every enchilada was delicious. The rice is the only thing that wasn't that great, but it was still good! My boyfriend had a chile relleno and that was super good too ???

My best friend usually has a very hard time with most cheese sauces at Mexican restaurants and this is the FIRST one we've found that is the perfect blend of cheese and spice that she can love. 10 Stars for their cheese sauce alone!The rest of the food was also excellent, with big portions and scrumptious options. I really loved the taquitos and their blend of refried beans.My other friend tried their Love Potion alcoholic drink and enjoyed it very much. So much that he drank it a little too fast. XDThe restaurant seems to be one less discovered and so was quiet. The decor was lovely, everything very clean and tidy. Our table was a little wobbly, but other than that perfect. Bathrooms were very clean and smelled fresh.Lastly, the wait staff were attentive and fast. One of the shortest times I've had to wait at a sit down restaurant like this.Absolutely will be going here again when we get the chance!
