Went here with two friends for dinner and we had a good time, however the tacos were far too pricey for the size. The tortillas also lacked structural integrity which resulted and a messy eating experience.

Lloyds was so fun years ago. The Hertel location has gone downhill, possibly already hit the bottom. The quality of the food is lacking, the portions are terrible for the price, nothing seems fresh. The worst part is by far the last couple times we've been to the bar (and our last few visits were spaced out due to not wanting to go back right away due to service). Every time we go, the bartender working is 100% more interested in chatting and gossiping with friends at the bar than paying attention to the fact that our drinks have been sitting, empty, for 20 plus minutes... Last time we were there around 1:30pm on a Monday... So not a busy night or day. It is every single time. Its terrible. Where are the own, the folks in charge? Do you ever visit this location or even care about quality or service? It's such an utter disappointment...We used to take out of town guests to Lloyds, order delivery, go to Hertel, visit the food trucks... Now, it seems like they don't care at all. Also... Clean the bathrooms, please. Like actually spend some time. It's gross and dingy.

I’ve been a fan of Lloyd for years, and every time I see their green taco truck parked at an event or parked on the street, I have to stop. They never disappoint. I ordered the Dirty South taco and a braised beefburrito with their house chimi sauce — absolutely incredible. The meat is super tender, the flavors are bold but balanced, and everything tastes fresh. They also have great vegetarian options (the “Skinny Thai”) is a must-try if you’re into that). on the truck Carrie is always friendly, upbeat, and fast — even when there’s a line. You can tell that she works hard but still keeps a good attitude. Carrie is quick, and the food is always hot and fresh, even when they’re slammed. Bonus points for: Consistent quality (been eating Lloyd for 6+ years, still amazing) Creative menu items Affordable prices for the portion sizes That chimi sauce — honestly addictive If you’re in Buffalo and see a Lloyd truck, stop what you’re doing and order. Seriously. You won’t regret it.

Awesome place. Free street parking. Very quaint location in North Buffalo. Lots of small, interesting, local shops, restaurants, and bars. Ingredients are all super fresh and properly prepared. The pork tacos were delicious and the crack potatoes were insane. The manager waited on us. She was very helpful and really knows her stuff. Today was very nice and we sat outside. Heaven.

I literally order the same thing 90% of the time how do you mess it up? When Lloyds first came on the scene I enjoyed their flavors and now it’s just “meh”. What I truly despise is when I order nachos to go you put my protein in with my queso and for the amount of money you pay and what I paid today it’s not enough protein or queso in this by a long shot! What happened!? It’s always off when I dine here it lacks the consistent flavors it once had. I also didn’t get my rocket sauce with my order so and the presentation was unappealing. This really is disappointing.
