Reviews for Maizal Mexican Kitchen and Mezcaleria in East Amherst, NY

Ate here last week and had a really nice experience. Walking in you are immediately immersed in a new world and it feels like... you are transported directly to a small “restorante” in Mexico. The decor was first rate, and the decorations for Day of theDead were truly fantastic. We are at the bar as we were only looking for drinks and snacks, but we still received great serviceand both of our choices were really good. We started with large margaritas; fresh made and well balanced between flavor andalcohol content. For food we we opted for one of their loaded nachos- these was a tasty option, and the chips remained fresh andcrispy even when loaded up with meat, cheese, and all of the veggies. Despite being a cooler and damp week night, the stream ofguests entering for dinner never waned- It was refreshing to see a small business with such demand despite much strugglingfollowing Covid. I would definitely recommend reservations as this is an intimate space, so there are not hundreds of seats. Wewill definitely be back to try more food, and also enjoy more of those tasty margaritas.

First time here, great selection of authentic Mexican...great tacos, I doubt there is anything you can go wrong with. Starts... off with nachos with salsa, could have eaten that all night. Easygoing atmosphere, great staff to explain the dishes to helpwith first timers. We live out of town but if we lived closer I'm sure we'd be regulars. My wife and I both thought it'd begreat to take a group to try out more dishes. Highly recommend! Read more

My new favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. The food is amazing and Édgar is the absolute best, he is such a delight and... remembered us from the last time we had been in a few weeks before and even what we had ordered. He asked what kind of drinks Ilike and recommended one to me and it was absolutely wonderful. I will trust him with any and all recommendations he has for mehere. Maizal will now be my go-to for Mexican in the area!! Read more

You can easily split any entree with someone. The portions are huge. The Burria tacos are to die for. The decor is stunning and... bright. Make reservations for dinner, and plan to arrive early. You'll have to be a parking lot vulture to snag a spot anywherenear. The price point is rather high and service is slow. The food other than the tacos was just okay, the chicken in eltropical was dry. Read more

Let’s start by saying that the salsa is AMAZING!! When you first walk into Maizal restaurant you will be captivated by the... esthetics of the place. The food is flavorful and the portions super generous. The service was great and welcoming. Read more
