    Lone Star Fajita Grill

    A hidden gem in an otherwise Italian neighborhood. Tucked away on Hertel Ave Lone Star Fajita Grill is a hole in the wall restaurant with food that speaks for itself. Try the Jalapeno / Habanero Death Sauce...if you dare. 1853 Hertel Ave. Buffalo, NY 14216

    Burrito Bay

    Big. Huge. Ridiculous. These are just a few ways to describe Burrito Bay's signature dish, The Glutton. Challenge yourself or challenge your friends to put one down, it's not that easy. It is like eating a football, in fact, your arms get tired from lifting this monster to your face. If you can finish two of them, you get a third one for free, or a free t-shirt. I'm assuming most people go for the shirt. 2341 Millersport Hwy. Getzville, NY 14068

    Chipotle

    After a long wait Chipotle has arrived in Buffalo and not only have they brought great food with them, but a new way of doing business in the 'semi-fast' food industry. Food With Integrity is Chipotle's commitment to changing traditional "fast food" culture by serving customers the very best ingredients, all raised with respect for the animals, the environment and the farmers, in fact, many ingredients are grown right in Western New York and their food is always fresh and organic. With five locations already in Western New York, it is only a short drive to get your Chipotle on.

    Sole

    Sole is actually more of a South American restaurant than a Mexican restaurant, but it's close enough for us. Sole has relocated from Williamsville to Elmwood Ave, but have kept everything the same. Fresh guacamole is made tableside to your liking and comes with an endless supply of chips and salsa. 810 Elmwood Ave Buffalo, NY 14222

    Mighty Taco

    Mighty Taco, Mighty Taco...did you just sing that in the Mighty Taco voice? Because that's how we wrote it. Mighty Taco first opened in 1973 on Hertel Ave and has grown to 19 locations over the past 40 years establishing themselves as a Buffalo mainstay. Stop in for lunch, dinner, late night or hit the drive thru for a Mighty Pack and a Loganberry. It's not fast food, it's food, fast. Plus the place mats are always fun to read.

    Lloyd Taco Truck

    Owned and operated by two childhood friends (neither are named Lloyd), Lloyd's Taco Truck was Buffalo's first food truck and is still my favorite. Wherever you spot Lloyd, there will be a line. That line of people is there for a reason, a good reason. The food is awesome and is worth the wait, it actually goes pretty quick. Try a burrito or an order of Tricked Out Nachos and be sure to grab an ear of grilled corn on the cob when it is in season. Check out their website and Facebook to find out where Lloyd is going to be.
