First off, this place is confusing. It’s listed as two different places online, when we got there we thought we were going to La Davina Dos but the sign said Taqueria Cielito Lindo. Our receipt says La Davina Dos, so perhaps they’re one in the same but it’s definitely confusing if you’ve never been.In combination with that, we immediately realized that the prices were not accurate in the online menu we had read because in the store they were much higher. In all honesty we had almost decided to go elsewhere but we ended up sticking with their original plan.We both got two tacos, and we got their carne asada fries and churros to share. They asked if we wanted cheese and sour cream on our tacos and we said yes, but I will admit that I did not expect such a high upcharge for these. When I looked at our receipt, it was $0.50 each for cheese and $0.50 each for sour cream. I know everything is more expensive now but that seems incredibly steep, especially considering how much cheese and sour cream can even be put on a taco in the first place.This brought the tacos we thought were $2.75, that were actually $3.95, to a whopping $4.95 each. I just think $5 a taco is high, and if the quality and flavor had been there, I might be more amenable but sadly it wasn’t.They have a salsa and topping bar which we grabbed cilantro, salsa and limes from. The limes were rock hard and nearly impossible to squeeze.The flavor of the tacos though, was the real issue. In that there really wasn’t any. The tortillas tasted stale or borderline anyway, and the meats were so bland I was honestly quite surprised. Even the salsa I got - there was no way it was medium. I’d say it wasn’t even mild. The sour cream was also a bit off. Overall the tacos were fine in that they satiated our hunger, but they were dry and bland and quite the let down otherwise.The fries were also quite the regret. $14 for fries, cheese, sour cream, some dry steak and a half an avocado. The fries were so pale we wondered if they were even cooked, and again, these was supremely lacking in flavor and bland.Lastly, the churros which were actually a happy surprise. We expected one and received two and they were excellent. At $4.00 for two this seems like a great price. They were crispy and flavorful. The sauce they came with was good as well.Overall I’m not sure if I’d return here. The food was very expensive and had it been flavorful and great quality, that might help me deal with the cost but we were underwhelmed on all counts.
Wonderful food and service. Best tacos in WNY in my opinion.
The BEST, & most authentic tacos in Western NY.
good food, good atmosphere, nice selection $$
My new favorite taco ? place. Tried 4 different tacos $20. Pork&Pineapple, Barbacoa, Chicken and Chorizo! They even fried the shell for me.Real food Fresh and hot Made to order. Tacos comes with meat cheese sour cream then you top them off with everything else no nickel and dimein you for toppings. Customer service was great and answered all my questions. Will be returning (on Tuesday of course)
Absolutely delicious food! We had several tacos and nachos. The food was so fresh and very authentic. Will absolutely be eating here again!
Tacos blew me out of the water. Was not expecting them! Amazing tortillas! Add some cilantro and salsa, I already can’t wait to go back!
Barbacoa Taco was amazing. Best authentic Mexican place by far.
If you are looking for authentic tacos, this is the place to go! My favorite is the cecina enchilada, the spicy kick and the saltines of the beef covered with cheese and a squeezed lime does wonders to my taste buds!
One star for the beer. There’s no such thing as authentic Mexican food anywhere in Buffalo. Tried this place the first week I moved out here because it was supposed to be the place...no. Tried it today again because I didn’t want to drive far and maybe I’d give it a second chance... it was worse. Every place I go I get three tacos, adobada, carnitas, and carne asada....the adobada tacos were flavorless against the raw pineapple that overpowered the meat, the carnitas was just like everywhere else I’ve tried all grease and salt with no flavor, the carne asada just tasted like cooked beef with no seasoning. Nothing about this place or others here is close to authentic Mexican food. Enjoyed my bottled beer through and the service was great nothing against that just the quality of the food
