I went there with my daughter on a girl's day out for some great Spanish food and the food is delicious same now as it was when she was a little girl and I used to go here
Having had authentic PR food in South Florida, this misses the mark. Tostones, Alcapurria, and Maduros all lacked seasoning and salt. You could tell the pastelillos and alcapurria had been sitting under the lamp for hours- so dry and bland. The Carne Guisada was good and flavorful but was served in a tiny portion cup. The place needs a good deep cleaning and some seasoning...guess its good if you've never left Buffalo and had authentic cuisine.

I visited this location back when I was a UB student back in 1998. A lot has changed his then but the food is still great tasting. There's a small seating area but the restaurant is mainly for pickup. They only take cash in store but you can order via Uber Eats. The garlic sauce adds a nice touch to any meal. I no longer live in Buffalo but when I drive to the area from Toronto, I make a stop here.
We had an incredible experience today. The food was delicious, the service was amazing, and we truly enjoyed talking with other customers. I was there with my young daughter, and the staff kindly helped bring our food to the table. Several customers took the time to talk with her and warmly welcomed us to their local church.
I had a really nice experience at Niagara Cafe. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, and the staff made a great first impression — the ladies greeted me warmly and helped me decide what to order. I’m not from Buffalo — I’m from Houston, Texas — but I’m currently working in Lockport, so I know what rice and peas is supposed to look and taste like. The food here was well seasoned, which I definitely appreciate. I ordered the rice and peas, empanadas, and alcapurria. Everything tasted delicious and flavorful. My only small suggestion would be to add more peas to the rice and peas — it was mostly rice — but the flavor itself was still very good. Overall, the experience was enjoyable and the food satisfied me. Would I go back? Yes, I will. I definitely recommend stopping by if you’re looking for good Puerto Rican food in Buffalo.
I love their food but the chicken is smaller and staff don’t listen. This is the third time I’ve gone to the restaurant and they messed up my order. I only asked for all dark meat this time. I don’t get it I get white meat and I don’t open the food until I get home in Niagara Falls so I could not change it bc they were closed and extremely far away from me
Authentic Puerto Rican food highly recommended by our friend. I've never had this cuisine before so I was very excited to try. We got an alcapurria (cassava&beef) and a pastelillo to start. Then we ordered roasted pork with maduros and beef stew with yellow rice. The food was tasty, very homey and meaty, overall an excellent combination. We also got passion fruit juice whichwas pretty refreshing. I was told that the establishment has been here for a long time, and I can understand why. They're just so good at what they do, and they give generous portions of the meat. The place itself doesn't have much seating area (which is totally okay) and they only accept cash, so please prepare ahead of time! Definitely worth it!!!
