Taquito Lindo - Williamsville Mexican Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in Town of Amherst

We found our new favorite family restaurant! The place is HUGE, service was amazing! Lyon was our server and he was nothing less than personable, knowledgeable about the menu, and attentive. This was our first time here and even our hard to please toddler was impressed! The taco trio is a must try for a first timer. You can choose your protein (I did chicken, steak, and pork), and they come with different toppings. The pickled veggies on each taco added so much flavor to the proteins. My husband got a pork, bean, and veggies rice bowl (Barria??), which was amazing! It’s only made on Wednesday so 10/10 recommend. Of course we ordered chips and queso as an appetizer and requested more chip because they weren’t greasy or topped with oil. The queso was great. The kids menu .. the cheese quesadilla was HUGE hit with our little one. She doesn’t eat much when we go out to eat, and she ate 3/4 of the quesadilla. And let’s talk about the churros… oh my taste buds! Sooooo yummy. All this to say the food, price, service, and atmosphere exceeded any and all...

My only disappointment was not taking a photo before I enjoyed my first meal here!

I stopped in for a quick lunch and ordered the “3 Tacos for $15” and selected the Carne Asada, the Al Pastor, and the Pork Belly.

Three nice sized tacos arrived several minutes later presented on a stainless steel carrier that made sure that all of the goodness that was packed into these soft shells stayed put. I began with the Carne Asada that was packed with tender and tasty skirt steak. Amazing!

I followed up with the Al Pastor. The pork was very good and the pineapple, of course, makes it! Delicious!

Based on Nick, the bartender and server’s input, I saved the Pork Belly for last.

I don’t know of another way to explain this other than it was like the Fourth of July fireworks finale in your mouth!!! The flavor from this taco is nearly indescribable… sweet, a hint of spice, warm maple chipotle pork belly, cold chipotle coleslaw and pickled onion…. Out of this freakin’ world!

I will definitely be back, very soon and regularly!

Thanks for the great...

I would leave half A star if I could. The place initially looked cool when we first walked in. But that feeling immediately changed with the proximity of the seating in the center, on the tiny tables. On top of that, the music was pretty loud, both from the radio and then the live performance of a Billy Joel band at a Mexican taco joint? The food was seasoned well, but everything (literally everything) was served cold. The fresh chips and salsa? Cold and somewhat stale. The quesadilla I ordered half beef and half chicken? Good but cold. The rice bowls. All with cold meat and rice. Then the prices! Incredibly expensive for the poor food quality. Also also, why does it seem to be a Mexican restaurant with no body of any Latino ethnicity in sight? Everybody that came in was the whitest gentric family I've ever seen. And this place has 5 star glaring ratings? Crazy. Never going back. El ranchito remains...
