Fantastic food and great service! Prices are quite reasonable for the quality. Highly recommended! The house made mole (pictured) is milder than what you might be used to if you're a mole fan, but it's outstanding.

Taco-bout a great local restaurant! With fabulous food and an extensive beverage menu, anyone can find something they will enjoy at Casa. You can't miss with a Taco Trio, and the Esquite is a must try appetizer.

This location has been three different restaurants during my time in Buffalo, but this is the best iteration. Previous spots were too loud, the fare too expensive, and the vibes off. Now that Casa Azul is here, this place shines! The staff is wonderful and offers good suggestions when you can't decide between certain entrees or drinks. The food was top-notch, and I was full onyym order of 3 tacos and some guac. The guac has pickled red onions in it, which were divine, and the chips it came with had large salt crystals all over that you could SEE (I am a salt fiend so this was a big bonus for me!). I don't know what was better- the drinks or the food. I ordered a mule (vodka based drink) instead of a tequila based drink, since that is not my particular jam. My drink came in THE cutest, hand painted terracotta little mug! It was delish. My friends all got tequila-based drinks, and I think the group favorite, after sampling multiple drinks, was the Pineapple something or other (maybe Pineapple Express? I can't remember, but it looked good!). The only sad moment was an entree someone wanted was out for the night- which is a good sign when something sells out! The food was so good, and the total for all the food and drinks was very reasonable. I am definitely going back, and can't say enough good things about this place.

I always come here when I visit Buffalo! Great Food and Cocktails, and they have the BEST patio in the city hands down! Order carne asada and a Cucumber jalapeno margarita - you won’t be disappointed!!

We had a lovely dining experience at Casa Azul. Jessica provided great service and knew the menu well. The hostess also worked hard to get us a table not in the Sun (thank you)! They were able to modify the tres tacos to be vegan (already gluten free). In spite of removing the queso, there was plenty of nice flavor. Chips, tortillas, guacamole and beans and rice were pleasant appetizers. Others at my table enjoyed the churrros with great delight. Especially if you are vegetarian, vegan or gluten free this is a destination to include on your Buffalo itinerary.

Outstanding. Food is delicious, gluten free homemade tortillas, amazing specials, homemade rice and beans is phenomenal, little clay pots you take tequila shots out are super cool, and the tacos were delicious! Also the chips and dip is made in house and fabulous as well. Staff also knowledgeable and friendly as well. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend this restaurant! The trio of tacos were on point! I loved their Hot salsa as well- it was definitely spicy and I do spicy all the time. Staff was very attentive which I found very impressive. The speed at which the food came out was amazing as well, despite them having a full house.

Super glad I finally had a meal here. Very fresh and flavorful food and all came out quickly. We had a lovely server who gave us excellent margarita recommendations from the specialty flavors list. Appreciated the three vegetarian/vegan taco options as well as the weekly specials they had. The inside had great energy for a Tuesday night. I know on weekends it can get packed especially out on the patio. Will definitely return for quality Mexican food and drinks
