On August 31, 1973, four guys opened the proverbial taco stand. But they didn’t blow it.

Today, Mighty Taco proudly operates 19 restaurants in the Western New York area. After four decades of continuous operations, Mighty Taco means fast, delicious, Buf-Mex food you can’t get anywhere else.

If you’ve eaten at Mighty, you’re probably a member-in-good-standing of Mighty Nation. And if you haven’t, well, what are you waiting for?
