Fun and unique experience. Amazing service with detailed explanations of each dish. We were there for the Oaxacan menu. Would love to try the next one.

Las Puertas is by far the best restaurant in the Buffalo area! They recently changed their tasting menu to highlight Oaxacan cuisine and it is incredibly unique and flavorful. First of all, the atmosphere is so inviting. The drink menu is extensive and unique as well. They even had mocktails. The mocktails and cocktails were excellent! They do a tasing menu for $100, which is a little steep for Buffalo BUT it is worth every penny! Each dish was extremely delicious and felt fresh and even healthy! There were a lot of flavors I had never experienced before! We have been to a Mexican Michelin star restaurant in Toronto and this was on par with that. They were also very good with a dairy intolerance (even though Tock said they don't accommodate no dairy, you can call and they can probably accommodate). I highly, HIGHLY recommend this place for a special evening out and am very happy Buffalo has a place like Las Puertas!

Wonderful courses and not too much. We've done many tasting menus and often end up having to take something home. The portions were very balanced and the taste did not compromise. Can't wait to try another menu!

Had a lovely experience at Las Puertas! Had a reservation for 4 on a Friday night - friendly staff, the courses were served at a nice pace, and the food was delicious. As someone who likes to enjoy these kind of prix fixe experiences when I visit larger cities, I love that this is available right in my neighborhood in Buffalo. I enjoyed adding the wine paring with dinner as well. Definitely recommend!

We went and did the 7 course tasting menu and it was good! I missed a photo of the salad. The duck fat butter on the toast with cheese was so good. The beef shredded so easily and melted in my mouth. The mushrooms and carrots with the beef were delicious. The craw fish dish was good too. This menu we had was French inspired. The tart was a little odd but that's just my personal opinion - the buttery crust and fruit was so good, the beets didn't feel like they fit. Chocolate cake for dessert was great! We went on a Friday and made a reservation for 630. We left around 9. It never filled up the entire time we were there which was nice. It was quiet, intimate, nice setting, attentive and kind staff. Only reason for 4 stars is just that the food was good. Nothing blew me away. Would definitely go back! The bar space was also such a vibe. I'd go back to sit at the bar for drinks.

Phenomenal. Best in Buffalo. Go now.Las Puertas is a fine dining experience on the West Side, free of pretension and full of heart.The French menu series was a delight, showcasing creativity and mastery. From table candles that transformed to melted duck fat and ghee to simple salads, perfectly dressed, the experience sparked joy. I will be chasing the delight of the crawfish soup and the pear sorbet in my cooking and dining for years. From the cocktail menu, the well dressed and old fashioned was the best old fashioned I have ever tasted.On a personal note - my booking was a party of six to celebrate my elopement that day. One guest had allergies to gluten, dairy, and soy. Head chef Victor Parra Gonzalez called me directly, understanding the importance of the occasion, and confirmed the nature of these allergies. He put together a special menu for the guest in our party with allergies, with each course mirroring the fixed menu. This level of hospitality allowed us to celebrate joyously, and I am so thankful to the chef and his team.I am excited to return and see where the menu travels next, and will recommend this restaurant highly to anyone who wants an above and beyond meal and experience in Buffalo.

Customized menu and taste good. Most are Non Veg but u have Veg flavour too. Small quantity of items so don't expect a full plated meal.
Expensive but worth every penny. Real high quality food. 7 dish meal that fulfills appetite perfectly. The end always with dessert and you have option to wine pair. Highly recommend for high quality food and those seeking high end meals with experienced palates.

Las Puertas is a phenomenal restaurant, one of the best Buffalo has to offer, easily of the same caliber of any restaurant in Brooklyn. Creative tasting menus, constantly changing, with inventive twists on Mexican cuisine like grilled plantain with pink mole, and a ridiculously good pork chop with a side of bone marrow. On the pricey side for Buffalo but very much worth it.

My father took us here to celebrate our birthday the other night, and he was so excited. This was astonishing as he is your regular meat and potatoes guy — but has lately been open to expanding his tastes. This was absolutely the place to do so. The atmosphere was so cozy and warm for my family and I. They were playing great music. On our way in someone shouted to us to try the Smokey old fashioned, so we heeded their advice and wow am I glad we did. One of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Every single course slapped. I’m pretty critical when it comes to tasting menus as I think part of the fun is dissecting the course and really immersing yourself in the experience. There were a couple that I wasn’t overwhelmed by (cold fish is a texture thing to me, not necessarily on the chef—flavors were still good). Overall we had a beautiful intimate family dinner and I’m so happy I got to cherish that time with my parents. I think that is truly what food is about and what Las Puertas is able to achieve. I know some people will balk at the price, but this is pretty standard expense for this type of experience. If you have the ability, please go here. You will not be disappointed.
