GG Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Paula's, ever notice everyone there is 100# to 200# overweight? I loved Mulberrys, last time there it looked like every dinner portion was cut in half. Problem and a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 La Divina is AWESOME! Best kept *not so much* secret in Kenmore. Took the wife and twins there Saturday...really enjoyed it. The tortillas are absolutely perfect, and the fact that the food is in your hands in less than 5 minutes is a major win for a couple trying to keep two 3-year-olds occupied. I will most definitely be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 My biggest problem when I get back to town is not enough time to get in all the meals I want. It's a serious issue, and this isn't helping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 C'mon Hondo. You don't want a few beef and cheese hot so your stomach is killing you in the morning? When I was much younger and had a cast iron stomach, I used to enjoy Mighty Taco's original location on Hertel. It was a dumpy little place and it seemed like greasy hair and acne were requirements to work there. The sketchy neighborhood, the dirty kitchen, the drunken clientele - it took a bit of courage for a shy teen like me to eat at Mighty in those early days. But the food so tasty that it overcame my fears. Now they've gone all generic and my strong stomach has been weakened by years of abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not at the table Karlos Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Ate at Amy's Place in North Buffalo when I went to college; I like falafels.

LabattBlue Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 F*** Schwabl's. After an elderly person crashed into their building several years ago, the ****head owner put a sign out in front of his building declaring "closed due to careless driving", while the driver of the car was in the hospital. I wouldn't go in there, if they were giving food away. http://www.buffalonews.com/city-region/west-seneca/friends-of-injured-driver-have-beef-with-schwabls-sign-20131205 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darn it making me hungry for the old food. Give me your address on a PM and I'll send you a pack so you can bring back your youth. All good bud. As an aside, thanks for the pro football history lesson a couple of weeks ago when the Tonawanda article came out. That was awesome as I didn't know so many of the pieces of info you provided. Your a football scholar my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) I went to the Mighty Taco in Henrietta when it opened last year here. Rochester has a Duffs now too. No point in going and clouding up the myth with a meh review. Some things are better left as a fond memory. There is a pizza joint in South Brighton we used to go to on Friday nights as kids. Parents gave us money to go there to suck down soda and eat pizza. One of my favorite memories. It is still open. But i do not dare go there. I want the memory to remain as great as it is. I want again say, i love this thread. It really does bond us in a way. Food is the way to the heart. That is why i love taking my Family out to eat as often as we can , if only for brunch. We remember pleasantly , after many years these moments Edited June 28, 2016 by 3rdand12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 F*** Schwabl's.

I wouldn't go in there, if they were giving food away. http://www.buffalonews.com/city-region/west-seneca/friends-of-injured-driver-have-beef-with-schwabls-sign-20131205 Sounds like careless driving, it appears a factual statement: Krupinski reportedly was charged with imprudent speed, making an unsafe turn and failure to stay in lane. I had a driver dodge a deer (she was cited as driving too fast which is why she could not stop in time), drive thru a brick and concrete wall around my house and her insurance company refused to pay for damages to property; they did not even clean up mess other than tow car away, I needed to file against my home insurance to get repairs with the insurance company (AIG) trying to give me an estimate which no contractor would do job for. After several repeated calls and emails it was finally resolved but wall does not match rest of property now. The insurance company then raised rates citing me at fault (I am at fault? The wall is on my property and was on it when they signed me as client) for which I immediately dropped. I have sympathy for his position. The restaurant took a big hit during the busiest time of the year, and it will remain closed into January, Staychock said. Damage topped $200,000, and 27 people were left without jobs. I am sure many of the employees out of work have same opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yall Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Really? Maybe things are changing but I've always thought the pizza in WNY blows the doors off of pizza on the West Coast, for example. Or most international pizza. I used to rave about Mighty Taco. It was awesome when it was new. Now, it's just another non-authentic Mexican-inspired fast food joint. I'm not a fan of the medium thickness crust or the Cisco truck sauce that is on 90% of the pies in town. A few really good places, but a whole lot of mediocre.
