portisizzle Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Fellas, I am here in Buffalo with my Bills fan brother. We have been riding by these Mighty Taco locations. So we broke down and made the purchase. Jesus. What a bad freaking taco. I asked the guy at the window if the "Mighty Taco" was better than Taco Bell. Ahh, no. We bought six of these things. I am conviced that they use Kaopectate in the secret sauce. We have four left so if someone wants the rest, give me a shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't take kindly to people who talk bad about Mighty, and we sure as hell don't appreciate the blasphemy of saying it's not better than Taco Hell.

portisizzle Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 We were at the Anchor Bar for lunch. Mighty Taco product is INDEFENSIBLE. Maybe you have a regional issue with Taco Bell.

You're not from WNY so you can't understand. Just don't try to pass off KFC and Taco Hell as the ultimate in fast food. KFC 10 years ago maybe. Now - no way. Taco Hell also runs through most people's digestive tracts like a bullet train. BTW, Anchor Bar doesn't have the best wings. It's a touristy place. Go to Duff's for much better wings.

I am conviced that they use Kaopectate in the secret sauce. We have four left so if someone wants the rest, give me a shout. I know! They aren't bad if you want a cheapo, slop of a taco. Since moving to the South Side of Chicago... Nothing compares outside of Mexico (and that is even a stretch)... I don't know how even Taco Bell makes it here on the South Side? Mighty would fail miserably here... Well, I kinda know how Taco Bell makes it... They cater to the people who want a name brand. Here... Everything is authentic... Even my Mexican sister-in-law who lives in the BFLO area is always requesting that we send her authentic Mexican products that she would only get in Mexico... Closer to send it from here! Once you hit these places (along with hitting Nueva Maxwell Street on the weekend), one will feel cheated at Mighty Taco by eating a "Greengo Taco": Beyond The Taco Nueva Maxwell Street I have local joints that are within a couple of blocks where I live and the food will knock your Sox off! EDIT: You have to get over one's "Anglo Fear" when walking into some of the small local joints... Oh, and brush up on your Spanish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 You what Mighty Taco is? It is BFLO's version of White Castle. You wouldn't believe the drunks that rave about this place (Whitle Castle... White Castle'S if you use the lame "City" of Chicago version... )... But, man how did they (Mighty and TB) ever bastardize a taco so bad? ... Though they are alright and a world above Taco Bell! Man! I am slamming everybody tonight!

Chef Jim Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 If the taco place has a drive thru or if any of the people in the kitchen speak English then it ain't worth going to.

DrDawkinstein Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 as much as it will always have a special place in my heart, i wont bother trying to defend MT here. dude doesnt like it, thats fine. blasphemy, but fine. HOWEVER, saying there is "NO BETTER restaurant(sic) than KFC/Taco Bell" is just down right laughable and negates any validity to your opinion on MT. Might Taco may not be the best, but Taco Bell surely isnt even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 sidenote: the reason there is no good mexican food in buffalo is because buffalo is the one place left that has no mexicans. and it has no mexicans because there are no jobs to steal. so you gotta pick your poison i guess.

dib Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 We'd always stop at mighty taco after a night at the brick bar. always enjoyed the gradations of hot sauce ending with 'asbestos underwear' My folks sent me some loganberry concentrate so I made a pitcher for the game.

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 just a heads up, they don't use aunt rosies anymore. they went to some other brand and the loganberry tastes like watered down apple juice. I had to take it back and get mountain dew. I always wondered about the loganberry phenom in S. Ontario and WNY. From Wiki: The loganberry (Rubus × loganobaccus) is a hybrid produced from crossing a blackberry and a raspberry. A use common to Southern Ontario, Canada, and Western New York, USA, is Loganberry Juice. While the Loganberry is primarily harvested in the Western United States, growers there were unaware that a niche market existed for a Loganberry-derived drink to the east. According to local lore, the loganberry drink was developed by entrepreneurs in the late 1800s at Crystal Beach, a local summertime resort, and one time amusement park, in Southern Ontario. The drink continued to be served at the amusement park and is still produced there. The most popular commercial version is 'Aunt Rosie's', which is commonly enjoyed in Western New York. 'Aunt Rosie's' is distributed by the local Pepsi-Cola bottling operation out of Buffalo, and is found in local restaurants and establishments. A smaller, more local version of Loganberry juice is available to locals in New York's Capital District, under the name of PJ's Crystal Beach Loganberry Juice, available in Sparkling and Diet. Loganberries may also be purchased in their syrup form in local supermarkets for use at home. Oh... Give it to your children and the stuff stains like all get up!

Philly McButterpants Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 OVERRATED. All they do is kill their wings with hot sauce. No, Sorry . . . Your Buffalo resident card has been rejected. Duff's wings are by far the best because: 1) They use smallish wings which allow them to be fully cooked. (there is nothing worse than half cooked "jumbo" wings) 2) The wings are always crispy, not soggy. 3) The sauce. Lots of it. I like my orange lipstick when I'm done. 4) HEAT. and lots of it. 5) Atmosphere . . .and by atmosphere i mean hot waitresses in skin tight t-shirts.

plenzmd1 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 OUCH...that hurt. Posted this a few years ago but will again. Got me a case of Aunt Rosies when the Wegmans opened in Fairfax. Cracked my first one with Red Hot, and about spit it out it was do damn sweet. Guess it had been 20 years since I had one. Some things just do not carry over from our youth, or maybe thats just me. Also, loved the MT in my youth, but now would have to be after 2AM for me to eat there. And seeing as I haven't seen 2AM in the last decade, not so worried about it LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
