Easily one of the best Mexican restaurants in Rochester. It doesn't look like much from the outside but it's a great spot. Food and drinks are always on point. They also do live music and entertainment downstairs. Tons of parking available. Great experience!
Let me begin by stating that I am Hispanic and come from a Hispanic family. I am well acquainted with central Mexican food and haven't found many places in NY that can actually claim to have true Mexican food.
Great lunch buffet. Food is very fresh and easy on the wallet. Definitely a better alternative to fast food.
Itacate is, without a doubt, the best Mexican restaurant I have been to in NY state. The food is truly authentic Mexican, not the standard Americanized Tex-Mex. They use fresh ingredients and make almost everything fresh in house. The staff are all friendly and knowledgeable about the food and conscientious of individual tastes and needs. I felt like I had stepped into a little patch of the Mexican countryside and loved every minute of it.
The regular salsa was just so so, but the hot salsa had just enough heat with a nice brightness to it. Very friendly staff.
I judge a Mexican restaurant on their tamales. I was mildly nervous since it comes with salsa on top (ordered without). The consistency was perfect! It could have had more flavor however (I have Mexican family members who would take a whole day to make tons of excellent tamales - this is what I'm basing my review off of).
Their buffet is an excellent value. No complaints. Tried the fresh margarita which was pretty great too.
Dinners are amazing too. Huge portions. Always fresh and very filling. Great margaritas too!
