Andale Mexican Restaurant in other cities:
Bland food. Needs cilantro all around. Have hot sauce to add but that wont help. Salsa also bland. Great waitress and fast service. Visual beef fat pooling around burrito.
Ordered the birria tacos and they had absolutely no taste whatsoever. They were literally the worse birria tacos Ive ever had. The service was also terrible. I definitely will not be retuning.
We dont usually eat at Mexican restaurants because were doing low carb and the beans in the rice and chips and tortillas are off limits but we decided to try Andale. We got the fajitas for two with chicken shrimp and carnitas. The carnitas for some of the best we ever had. Tender melt in your mouth deliciousness. The service was very friendly and the items we couldnt eat looked delicious
This place is authentic and delicious. Fast great service. Classic margaritas the bomb. Street taco s out of this world. Music and presentation 5 stars!!!!
Food is good. Kind of expensive for Mexican. Hours on door are not accurate. Stopped in for lunch and they were closed until 3. Why even have lunch options on your menu.
I’ve been around the world and back, This place has the best Mexican food I’ve ever tasted !!!! Absolutely love…. Definitely have to try nachos carnitas!!!
Taco was excellent... Was too stuffed from Lebanese food from earlier to give an accurate assessment of the food... However, the ambiance AND The Lebanese food from earlier was quite good, if youre wondering...
Queso was great. Loved my cheese enchilada, rice & salad w pico de gallo. All in all, nice quiet lunch, clean restaurant, VERY attentive waiter!
Great food and prices!
I really liked this place. Good food and prices are respectable.
Was not pleased with my order the chicken was boiled and slimy tasted uncooked the salsa tasted like spaghetti sauce chips were stale rice was over cooked refried beans were cold. I would never go back here again. I had better Mexican food at other local restaurants heck my mom cooks better Mexican food then this place.
We visit Andale weekly. They have a full bar with a nice selection. Food has always been fresh and flavorful and authentic tasting. Service great. The 3 taco meal was filled with steak to the point I had plenty for lunch the next day.
We were sadly disappointed in all 3 of our takeout meals. The fish tacos had weird gooey stuff on the bottom and I couldn’t bring myself to eat them, chips were stale, and they forgot fries for my son. Maybe they should cut their menu down to a few good items instead of having so many options that are meh.
My husbands and my first time visiting. We loved the atmosphere, it was crowded, but friendly. The staff very quick to seat us although they were packed. The food was amazing! I ordered the enchiladas supremas, omg loved it. My husband ordered carne asada fundido, steak and chorizo, he loved it, and we ordered a chicken quesadilla. We cant wait to come again and try other dishes.
Went there tonight with friends and our server was so rude after we asked a few questions about the menu. Every time she dropped something off she would throw it on the table like we were bothering her. The food wasnt good. Queso was runny and watery. The salsa was the only thing I liked. I wouldnt have even minded how bad the food was if the server had been pleasant. But wow.. so nasty.
Excellent service, they went over and above and the food was great.
Made a 7 o’clock reservation that apparently was a waste of effort. Staff was friendly and helpful but the ambiance is lacking. Food prices were reasonable; the the food quality was disappointing. Likely my first and last visit; there are better options for good Mexican food in the area.
I went to this place couple of days back purely based on good reviews online and I was definitely disappointed.To start off, the food neither tasted great nor authentic. The rice was alright but the refried beans and guac tasted terrible compared to all the authentic Mexican restaurants I have been to. The grilled chicken from my dish that I had ordered was overcooked and rubbery. And to top it off, the waitress was not friendly and that definitely did not help.So will I visit this place again? Yes, I would like to give this place another try. Maybe I visited on a day where the chef/waitress were having a bad day. I hope the experience is better the second time. If not, that will be the last time I will be visiting it.
Ordered here for the first time a month ago and the reviews and pictures looked great so I gave it a chance. I had my food to go. The food wasn’t any thing special. Lacks flavor. Also there was a black curly hair in my takeout container.
My husband is mexican, we know good authentic mexican cuisine. We enjoyed the Molcajete, which was phenomenal and Churro for desert. Staff and server were excellent. Management came to our table to check how everything was. We will be going back.
Ive only ever ordered takeout from Andale, and I have never been disappointed in my meal. Super fast, super fresh, and always super tasty, theyve become a regular part of our take-out rotation.
Ended up here unplanned. But glad we did ! What a great little place and nice atmosphere. Felt like I was in Pee Wees big adventure looking for the basement in the Alamo. Our waiter was great and drinks were very strong not watered down. I would def recommend for a non fancy but fun experience .
Best Mexican food in the area and the staff is incredible! Great portions and pricing. Have been coming here since 2019 and have always been beyond satisfied. A must try if you are in the area!!
My usual Mexican restaurant was closed so I figured I would try this place because they had such a great review. All I can say is Taco Bell has more authentic taste than this place.The food was horrible! The beans tasted like they came out of a can, the queso tasted like that cheap white Velveeta and the guacamole tasted like the horrible pre-made stuff at Wegmans. Then the service, I lost count on how many time the waitress threw something down in my table. She definitely had an attitude for no reason. Even though the food was horrible we didnt make a single complaint. Definitely will never return.
Had lunch here for the first time. Staff was great. Great atmosphere. Service was super fast and everything tasted great. Great price too.
The food is overpriced and small portions. Very disappointed as we recently moved from San Diego, CA and was hoping to find our new favorite Mexican restaurant.
Hands down the best Mexican food in the area. Food was delicious and the waitress was super great! She recommended the chili poblanos and they were excellent!!!! Will be coming again! 5 stars!
Second time we have eaten here. One of only a few places that are back open to indoor dining after the injunction. Sunday night dinner and it was great. Service, top notch. Not pushy, not too slow, just about right. We arrived at 7:30 and they planned on closing at 8:00. We said we’d order right away and be as quick as they could be. Ordered queso fundido right away and with the drinks, it arrived. Ordered our meals when the queso arrived. The Special Steak was very different. Grilled veggies on top a very tender steak with all the sides. The chimichangas with pork is my daughters favorite and it was to her liking. The wife ordered mole poblano and the chicken was very good, moist and cooked perfectly. If you’re in the Amherst, Clarence, Lockport, Pendleton areas, a small place with a bar that has great Mexican food. A must try!
Excellent food and you get alot of it. Im happy the first place we went to was too long of a wait and we found this. Definitely will be back.
Best Mexican food in the area, exciting about the new location on French road to open soon. My experience was excellent good service and food taste fresh made. Glad to supoort small businesess!
Beautiful decor, excellent food, great service
We order from Andale at least once a month. The food is always amazing and the service is always friendly! The food is a million times better than anything youd get at a Mexican chain like Moes - plus Id rather support a local restaurant than a chain! If you dont know what to get, I recommend La Bandera (enchiladas). If you like a lot of spice, try the tacos al pastor!
I LOVE their food! Always delicious, never disappointed when we dine in or have food delivered by grubhub. Definitely on the top of my list when you want fantastic Mexican food ❤
This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant in the greater buffalo area. We had a party of 8 and the place is rather small and it was full however we had a reservation and we where seated smoothly. The staff was friendly and attintive. The food was so good I am from the west coast and to honest I find east coast Mexican food to OK but far less tastey then the west coast counterparts. I was impressed with the sights and smells of all the food all 8 of us where pleased thats not easy in any diverse group. I hope to go back soon.
Good atmosphere, fast service, friendly staff. I got the Chimichangas. Very good. My 3 year old got the cheese quesadilla, also good. Fried ice cream was delicious. Would recommend and go again.
Awesome food!. Can’t wait for them Margaritas to come in soon!
Food was good, but service was sub-par. The staff seemed harried, as if someone had called off work and they were struggling to keep up.
The steak fajitas were really good along with the sides. We were in the area for the exhibit and stopped in to get some eats and it was with the stop.
My wife and I just tried this restaurant tonight, and we are currently splitting the burrito villa. It is absolutely phenomenal, and we cannot wait to go back! The owner was incredibly nice, the portions are generous, and the taste is to die for. Highly reccomend!
Definitely one of the best Mexican restaurants around, definitely try the Burrito Villa
Great place. Excellent food. Staff on point. Stopped in for Mothers Day for lunch. When the check came had a rose for my wife. Will be back.
Good food but a bit pricey
Ordered fish tacos, and shrimp and rice entree. Both were very good. Andale is becoming our favorite Mexican restaurant.
This is the best Mexican food in the North Buffalo área. The staff is friendly the prices are comparable if not better. I only gave 4 stars because I always look at the green impact of restaurants and I wish they could find non styrofoam options for take out and to go orders.
Love this place!! Great margaritas, salsa, and queso in particular (the essentials). Large vegetarian menu as well. Portions were HUGE and the prices were very reasonable. Everything I ordered (and I ordered a lot) was delicious. Everybody was so friendly and attentive! I did feel guilty since I am a regular at El Ranchito and I felt like I was cheating on them, but then I learned that Andale and El Ranchito are in the same family, so I feel much better :) Definitely will be on my regular rotation of restaurants to visit.
Best authentic drinks and home made food
Love this place. Carnitas are fantastic and the Mexican shrimp cocktail is the best I ever had. Generous portion of both the carnitas and the huge shrimp. Our new favorite restaurant, definitely worth the drive for us.
I placed a 60 dollar order to this restaurant through doordash, which was confirmed by the restaurant and I was charged for it. When I got to the restaurant I had to wait outside for over a half an hour before someone even acknowledged me, all for them to tell me they never received my order. They said it was an issue on doordash’s end, but when I contacted doordash they stated their was no issue, and that the restaurant actually did receive our order. So the screw up was on the restaurant. The guy who was bringing out orders was rude and frantic. And the entire system for bringing out orders to customers was chaotic and disorganized. They also disconnected their phones (I called multiple times), so I was unable to contact anybody about a refund or getting my food. I will not return to this restaurant and would not recommend it.
DELICIOUS!!! I had the chicken quesadilla and my husband had the beef tacos and both were dynamite!! Service was very fast, highly recommend!
Our new favorite Mexican Restaurant. The food was delicious, portions very generous and service was good. Can’t wait to go back!
Fantastic food, kind and hard working staff. My wife loves Mexican and we found this place about 2 weeks ago and have already been back. They also have take out!
Former site of Chesters Cajun Grill. Very busy Saturday but not too long of a wait. Service was decent. Food was good. I enjoyed the Chori Polo.
Food was amazing. Wait staff very friendly.
My kids loved the carnitas tacos, my husband had the beef enchiladas and Im sure these are the best hes had. I had the shredded chicken tacos and I was very pleased. Everything was fresh.
Excellent Mexican food with a phenomenal and friendly staff. Dining in or take out is always fresh and tasty. Always a good experience. Prices are a bargain for what you get.
Awesome expierence, we ate here for lunch a couple times. Food was amazing and service was top notch. Havent left hungry yet a prices are very reasonable.
Food came quick and server was nice, the food was hot and was delicious! It did take a bit to get second round of drinks and the check though which is why not 5 stars.
Been here twice in a week and both times was delicious. Would recommend this to anyone and the chips and salsa are to die for
$42 for two lunch specials and a non alcoholic pina colada... over charged me and didnt even say anything. Definitely not going back here.
A quality Mexican American cuisine. Staff is always courteous and food always fast and fresh.
I REALLY enjoyed the food. So happy to have an authentic Mexican style restaurant in north Buffalo. Will be back soon!
I guess the quality of the food is decent but they are charging 4 dollars for a little cup of cheese and 2 dollars for small bag of chips. They make sure whoever walks into their door gets ripped off.
The food here is excellent. This is classic Mexican food made fresh and tasing wonderful. The staff, owners, are always so friendly. Very clean too.
My husband is from Georgia and this has been the best Southern Mexican restaurant weve found anywhere close. We actually drive over 45 minutes one way to just to get food from here.
My favorite new(er) restaurant. Still working out the kinks with service so they are a touch slower than to be expected, but the food is worth the wait. Delicious barbacoa!
Enjoyed a lunch special of steak fajita, rice, and beans. Everything was very good. I will return.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE PLACE EVER. our first trip was in October when we moved in the East Amherst area, and we order from them at least once a week now. It’s addicting. Have only been treated with respect and never a disappointing experience, I will forever be an Andale customer!!
Growing up in San Antonio Texas, then relocating to WNY in my early 20’s was rough, for the want of a bueno Mexican restaurant. Then. There she was. Like a haloed senorita she appeared magically in my own backyard.....Andale. With homemade tamales, just the right amount of spicy enchiladas, freshly made salsa, large Mexican beer selection and beautiful, not tacky, Hispanic decor, I am smitten . If you think you’ve had great Mexican in WNY and you haven’t been to Andale yet, you are wrong. Andale, Andale! Hurry up and get to East Amherst to eat and keep the hottest, yummiest new restaurant in town alive and well.
Had lunch here today - beef, chicken, and cheese enchiladas. Absolutely scrumptious. The best Ive had in this area. ❤❤❤❤!
Good service good food. Margaritas were excellent
LOST MY BUSINESS FOREVER. Placed an order 90 minutes before closing through DoorDash, and 70 minutes later, order was cancelled without explanation. Clearly this place doesnt need the business. Ill go somewhere that wants my business.
Really good food and big menu. Super friendly server. Awesome drink menu. Go check them out!
Great place. The food was excellent and the salsa and chips were a nice extra. The four of us had the Burro Ranchero, quesadilla especial and pollo asado. Highly recommend this restaurant.
Chips & Salsa are complimentary and really good. Margarita was perfect. Prices are reasonable. Its not a big place but worth the trip.
Very tasty camarones al mojo de ajo. Carnitas had a bit too much fat so spent lots of time trimming. Good though. Well go again.
The best Mexican food in the northtowns hands down! We have ordered here on a weekly basis for most of the pandemic and it never disappoints!
Did someone say CEVICHE? Oh yes. Ill be right there!
Had to wait 15 minutes to cash out as the person waiting on me made 3 drinks for tables in the restaurant. Then he cashed out someone else. When I got home, our order was wrong.
If you ever want to try some real mexican food this is the place and this is also reasonably priced compared to other restaurants around Williamsville, would highly recommend!
Great service! Waiter was very friendly and generous. The quesadilla’s were amazing! Definitely going back
Ordered takeout tonite. Cinco de Mayo. While I don’t think they were prepared for the influx of customers, food cake out fresh and hot and they didn’t skimp. It was delicious. Worth the wait.
Staff was amazing food was very good and authentic!!!! Fajitas sasage queso were amazing.. kids burrito was very large and did come with red sause.
Mediocre at best. There are better alternatives (Maizal).
Excellent!!! Super quick service and excellent food every time. If you are looking for great mexican food at a great price check out Andale!!
Alexis was awesome!! So friendly! Food, drinks and music was great! Will be back again
Me and my wife had an excellent time at andele. Being from California, I can say its as good as a West coast Mexican experience! God bless this business.
Decent Mexican fare. Prices a little more than used to, especially for the fajitas
The food was fresh and excellent! Our new favorite place!
The experience was horrible from the waitress to the food. Small sizes not authentic and waitress should not be dealing with people.
Food is great, the specials are always interesting, but they never have enough staff so service is always very slow.
Food was very good. Service was prompt, friendly and efficient. They did a nice job with the remodel. Salsa was very good.
Had the shrimp quesadilla and a small taco. Was very delicious. Service was excellent and quick.
Best mexican restaurant food is so good and their togo margaritas are the best highly recommended you have to try it 😀

2022-02-13Great place for some Mexican food. Always delicious and the food came out very fast, which was perfect because we were all very hungry.
Review №2
2021-12-31The chilaquiles were just hard, dry, crunchy nacho chips with a little green salsa and cheese on top. So disappointing!The pastor taco didnt have enough meat.$14 for a medium frozen margarita is insanely expensive and not worth it.
Review №3
2021-09-18Our first time here and the food was amazing! Nacho carnitas w pork you must try! Fajita Quesadilla with steak and shrimp my hubby had and it was amazing! I had Chile Poblano and it’s the best I’ve had! And the drinks are great too! Ambiance was spot on! Great service! We try every Mexican Restaurant around and they are top notch! Our new favorite!
Review №4
2021-05-31My first time eating here. Many of my local favorites were closed for the Memorial Day holiday so it was time to try something new. I had the steak fajita quesadilla and my friend had the enchiladas supreme. Both were absolutely delicious with generous portions. The place is small but its very clean. The atmosphere is cheerful with beautiful decorations and lively Mexican music playing. I will definitely be returning here often.
Review №5
2022-01-30I want to give 4 stars. I thought the food was good and priced accordingly. The drinks were really good but SO expensive. So 3 stars for that reason. I understand that the cost of everything has skyrocketed and I know that the price needs to met somewhere but seriously $18 for a strawberry daiquiri? Will probably not go back.
Review №6
2021-12-06Apparently this is what this restaurant calls a „guacamole salad“. One tiny slice of avocado. I would laugh if it wasn’t that expensive. The ribeye steak was like eating my own shoe. Maybe just unlucky? Idk

2022-05-10We always have a nice meal here. Food is great and service is good. This time we had the California burrito and the chicken/steak fajitas. Cant wait for their new location to open!

2022-05-28Where do I begin with this place. We have been coming here a couple times a month for the past two years. Throughout the past two years you can see that there service and quality has been slowly detroiating. Almost every time we go in the prices seem to change. They have raised the prices per meal about 5 dollars and the portion sizes have been cut in half(at least for what we order). I placed an order today and the woman read it back to me and I get there and she said she didnt hear what I ordered... Fine I waited 10 minutes for my food and I live 2 miles down the road and it was ice cold. I got the burrito villa and got only the burrito and the quesadilla (only a quarter piece). I also got a margarita to go the large one and they told me it was 21.00 bucks. When I went 2 weeks prior I was charged 16.00. I honestly feel that this place is extremely overpriced now and the service is not great. I hope they can turn it around but can tell you I will not be coming here again if things dont change and prices are more reasonable.

2022-07-10I enjoyed the food! Service was quick. Food came out very quickly after we ordered. The draft Corona Premier was extremely tasty!
