I ordered the chicken birria taco it was disgusting the presentation was horrible looked like a two year old made it I wouldn’t feed this to my dog but I do recommend the shrimp and fries for a fast food taste also the smell of the tables a very strong oil stain odor horrible I felt as if I was getting high as I sat there the price should have been a .25 cents and I’m being nice for the birria tacos please stop serving this the chicken tastes like preheated week old food

The food was the worst I’ve experienced. The barria tacos were disgusting. And not barria at all

July 27, 2024

Only one star for the cashier who was sweet and recommended food, also the people cleaning stayed on top of wiping the tables down. Food was not good. Tacos were super soggy, the hard shell tortillas they use tasted stale. We asked for no pico de gallo and they still put it on there. By the time we got the 3 tacos, they were cold. We got a bottled drink and it tasted expired . Don’t recommend at all.

Disappointed in this place because they should/could be so much better. Service was on the lazy side which brings this place down because the food was overall decent. Ordered some queso with chips, a chicken quesadilla (they didn't make correctly) and some birria tacos.

★★★

The rice and beans were disgusting. It tasted like minute rice, canned beans, and some kind of smoke paste. The only upside was that the protein was plentiful and the chips were the highlight of the meal. Great chips, maybe I should have gone with tacos.

Personally, I loved this place for my lunch/dinner. I got the Roasted Chicken Tacos… and they were delicious. My mom got the Queso Burrito. I would highly recommend this place if you want some high-quality, great-tasting Mexican food. HUGE shoutout to the staff, they were VERY nice and accommodating to my needs. The service I got there was possibly the best service I have ever received in my life. Therefore, I felt great that I was supporting such a wonderful restaurant. Thank you to the worker girl who told me she loved my necklace. :)

Tacos were delicious and messy!!!!! Here's the bad part. 1. What's their identity? Wannabee Mexican or Soul Food? 2. How do you not have guacamole?! Menu says it's seasonal. So it's only available wintertime??! C'mon!! 3. On the Soul Food Menu inside the store, It advertises "Shrimp & Grits" We tried ordering it but the cashier told us it's not available and that you will have to cross the street and order it from their Food truck. Went across street to order it and was told they DONT HAVE SHRIMP AND GRITS JESUS CHRIST! So we only had the 3 tacos and a banana pudding. Have you ever ate a really good meal while being annoyed?! This is the place. I really want to give it 5 stars but I can't . The store and food truck need to have better communication. And please order some damn Grits and Avocados!

Originally ordered to dine in, but decided not to. Table's were unclean. The owner was disrespectful and unfriendly. Sad part this happened on my bday and anniversary. Grill wings taste like frozen wings that had been microwaved and then tossed in a sauce. It wasn't good to me, but the Birria tacos were ok. Place has potential, but service needs much improvement.

Food Was Horrible I Paid About 17 Dollars For The burrito And The Meat had A Old Texture Too It Like it had been sitting for a week kinda like a old texture something I never seen before I ran into this problems a few times but never too much they not a bad place but the tables were very sticky and unclean customer service was ok could be a little better had better customer service from food truck during the summertime even better experience with the tall young strong kid with dreads a never forget his description everything was on point food was 10/10 have been here time to time and it s been going down hill every since The other Chef Left that worked with the kids in the district it just haven t been the same in my opinion sorry please come together and Improve all love

The food is pretty full filling more than I anticipated and tasted great I could taste the smokeyness in the meat. Overall atmosphere has got a city kinda vibe in the aspect of walking and not what you expect from the outside.

The first impression was even good, but later the food was so average, they served it in aluminum bowls. We paid $90 for 4 portions of 2x tacos, fries with chicken and fries with shrimp, so it was expensive. The atmosphere is cool and apparently there was a guy from Hells kitchen there, but he doesnt have any certificate. Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian dishes, e.g. tacos, but you have to choose them yourself

It was okay, but really not my cup of tea. The fries werent bad, although I would have liked some sauce with them. The meat in the tacos wasnt as bad as often described, but it really wasnt good either. The price would not attract me to this restaurant again.

★★
August 22, 2024

Overpriced, the place reeks of bleach, demanding tips at time of purchase and not providing any service. Taking cash at a register is a job with full pay. Cooking food on a grill is a job at full pay. Nobody got my drink out of the fridge and opened it for me. I did that myself. Nobody brought my food to me, I had to pick up myself. Dont ask me for a tip. I will give one when its warranted but not until then.

If you want fake nails and someones hair in your tacos, then please, by all means, visit and enjoy their food. They should be called Bite your way into the falls and enjoy near death experience instead of F Bites ... Hygiene is not their top priority.. Im surprised you guys have Hells Kitchen posted all over your restaurant because if Gordon knew the shyte that gets served.. hed never let the owner of this place on his show .

July 22, 2024

Terrible! Hair in my food and dirty atmosphere. Gross, food was meh far below average.. ordered and paid for chips and queso and they said they ran out and then wouldn t substitute and argued with me about giving my money back.

The tacos were nasty there was no salt no seasoning or nothing in the tacos it was just pure oil the tables was not clean the service was horrendous and they had an horrible attitude

June 22, 2024

OMG I have had a better buritto in jail. Without salsa. This place has garbage food for real. I paid $16 for a buritto that was only rice and chicken, undercooked rice and spoiled chicken. No salsa,no guacamole, no queso.

June 22, 2024

Disgusting! I ordered chicken quesadillas and the shredded chicken was soggy, grey and had an aftertaste. I had to toss it. The $5.00 chips and salsa was a joke. Salsa tasted like tomato sauce. My husband ordered the queso burrito and the rice was from a box or some microwaved rice. We threw all the food out after a couple bites because we were afraid we were going to get food poisoning. Do not waste your money!!!!

June 22, 2024

Honestly one of the worst tacos Ive ever consumed. I ordered birria tacos. There was no consomé and the chicken was unseasoned, soggy, and gray. They had salsa verde, which was just cut up pickled banana peppers :( I truly do not know how they can call it birria. Most notable, I spent the night vomiting after eating here.

So I walked in towards the end of the day. First time here, ordered the walking taco.. I should of walked out just when the guy in the back yelled, :we have no more food, were closed. Told the girl i just take a refund, refused and told me were not closed its ok . You might as well call it the walking vomit. Food got me sick, the next morning throwing up and was not pretty. From Hells kitchen to kitchen nightmares, ohh how the mighty have fallen....Gordan Ramsey better come to this Kitchen nightmare. #GordanRamsey #Kitchennightmare

My friend got the double smoked BBQ wings which he said were spicy dry and barely any chicken on the wings, I got to the open faced pulled pork, mainly fatty, and the sub was a mess, rolled up with most of the toppings outside the bread. Hells kitchen Chef endorsement?I think not.

I went in the off season. You could see chef Bobby bouncing around behind the counter, and he was excited about his new menu. I went for the Buffalo NY classic chicken finger sandwich; and the chef (and his team) did not disappoint. Their spin on the classic was packed with flavor and fresh ingredients. I wish I could make this place a regular stop.

April 22, 2024

Not fresh food, extremely overpriced. Go ANYWHERE else.

Taco bowl wasn t a bowl! It was a bunch of chips with items listed piled on top. The chicken was so dry, I couldn t chew it. The salsa over powdered the flavors of everything. I ended up scraping most off. The music was extremely loud! You couldn t hear the person seated right next to me. There was a woman yelling out names and at times Screeching! Gordon won t be impressed, nor would he put his name on this place

I wasnt expecting to come to Niagara and find great tacos. But maaaaaan the Jerk Chicken tacos were AMAZING!!!! I came here multiple times during my visit because of how good it was. The 2nd time I came back it was crowded and I can see why. Chef also let me try the oxtail gumbo and that is another winner. If Im ever visitng Niagara again I will be stopping by.

Worst taco s ever. My boyfriend got chicken burrito which had hair in it and I got the beef nachos literally 15 nacho chips with a pile of un seasoned beef and a bbq tasting salsa with a half teaspoon(if that) of sour cream on top definitely not worth the 16$ I wasted. These people need to go to a real Mexican restaurant and eat. I recommend compadres.

I had a bad experience when I went to order at the food truck. The individual that work there told me that he did not to serve me because he told he felt trauma and that he felt my spirit was not good. He made scene that I felt embarrassed. Your customer service is wack. And cant say anything about the food because I didnt get to eat, maybe if u would serve me and told u the food was great....your spirit would of been fill...

Cute little place. Initial reaction was ew because of the dead plant? With a glass container that was beyond through..in the entryway. The tacos were average. The best was deff the beef brisket(?) Tacos. Plus side was servings were large enough to share for sure!! Average but cute.

December 22, 2023

Awful food, confusing service. Ambience was okay

★★
December 22, 2023

The tacos are not authentic and not very good. The walking taco is ok I guess, if you have nowhere else to get food. The Gordon Ramsey posters do it justice. Gordon must not like this place. I suggest going to Canada for a decent meal.

December 22, 2023

They market the Hells Kitchen thing and I get that - use what you have to generate business. They were out of all diet soda - I have never heard that in ANY restaurant ever - then they were out of ribs, wings any of the barbecue they advertise. The place was empty and it wasn t real busy because end of summer and a Tuesday - no excuse to be out of soda and barbecue items. Then we get nachos and tacos- NO PLATES! Didn t have any! They gave us to go containers to eat from at the table lol. Tons of dark and lumpy ground beef - just a terrible presentation. Service was friendly and did thee best that they could but it s not run well at all and that s on the OWNER - very disappointing!!!

We ate here in 2021 and the food was amazing. We were just back for our honeymoon and ate here 2 days ago. We both ordered shrimp and grits (1st thing on the menu), was told that they dont serve that. So we both ordered queso burritos with pork and fountain pops. Almost all the pop had no syrup attached, both of our food was room temperature if that. Neither one of us finished it. Mind you, we waited for it to be made to order. This is the only place at the Falls where we both ate the same thing. Now were home, both of us have food poisoning. So, Id suggest not eating here. Terrible service, filthy dining area (and they werent busy), and obviously bad food.

Stopped in with my family yesterday day after visiting the falls. Not everything was bad but the wings were nasty and undercooked. They didn t have take out and just handed us open food containers to put in bags to go. And they charged my husband 4$ for a side of queso which would be fine if it wasn t in a tiny condiment cup. My two brothers and sister all got Birria tacos and when we got back to eat they were just regular tacos.

December 22, 2023

The birria tacos were not birria. These were BBQ rib tacos. The BBQ sauce itself being tangy in all the wrong ways. That not even being the worst of it, my girlfriend got food poisoning from them. Being as the only difference in my eating habits over the last 24 hours was she ate the birria tacos while I had a quesadilla without any meat.

December 22, 2023

Had this place for the first time today. Terrible. Tacos had No taste. Chips were stale. Queso was just water. Order was not worth the $50.00. Very disappointed. . .

Chef Charles is there for the kids to learn post-graduate work and see ahead of time what positive influence is! Have enjoyed our time with him through our school program- kids are planning to apply when they are of age to do so! Great atmosphere with supportive criticism/instruction and plenty of patience. According to the kids- the food is DELICIOUS! (I am unable to partake of anything due to allergies) I would 100% recommend this restaurant for a lunch or dinner. Support this group of restaurants and keep them going!!! THANK YOU CHEF CHARLES AND GUYS THAT HELP MAKE THIS PROGRAM HAPPEN!!

Chicken tacos were good The Birrira tacos were way salty Chips and salsa werent bad, but the salsa had huge chunks of tomatoes. The dining room is not well kept, there were literally layers of sticky stuff under the chairs and on the floor. The glass was all covered in streaks. The utensils were in just a basket near the floor. The bathrooms thats kinda odd to keep out the tourists they keep the bathrooms locked, and you need a key. You would think they would be kept clean but NOPE. There was smears of stuff on the wall by the soap dispenser. See Pic The toilet seat was dripping in dried urine. There was zero toilet paper and only 2 paper towels left. They seemed to do something with Gordon Ramsey and hells kitchen. And they have something to help high-school kids. I wonder what he would say about the lack of cleanliness.

Well hellooo there you little hidden gem of Niagara Falls! I am a local resident and I am so glad I discovered this place today! Let me begin by saying my husband and I travel often and are big food enthusiasts! We appreciate flavor and thats exactly what this place gives. Charles helped us at the counter and was such a peach! (thanks for the experience Charles!) My husband ordered the ribs with mac n cheese & collard greens. I had the 3 tacos. 1 of each protein. Fish, Chicken & Steak. I was blown away at the size of these things when I got them. Piled high with an arrangement of toppings. Each bite that I took burst with a variety of different flavors. The batter on the fish was so seasony (is that a word?) & CRONCHY. yummmm. The jerk chicken had a nice sweetness & the ox had a great smoke flavor that wasnt overwhelming. (Alot of places around here get carried away with smoke flavoring) Anyhoo... the portion sizes are huge & are definitely enough to share. I tried a bite of my husbands collard greens and immediately had to go up to the counter to see whos making these! THEY ARE DELICIOUS. My family is from the south. I appreciate a good collard green. The flavor is euphoric. I WILL be back for more! Possibly tomorrow. Either way this spot just picked up a new regular. I cant WAIT to come back & try the cheese grits & shrimp!

I loved eating here. Aspiring culinary art chefs in training. The music was cool. The food was better. Fair prices. 3 homestyle tacos (fried shrimp, fried fish, steak, pork, oxtail, ground beef or chicken) good amount of food for 15$ that comes with beans layered on rice. Their sour cream is delicious. Not the average plain sour cream. All the food pops with flavor. Robust and fresh food. The place was very clean too. If you want a taco worth eating then come here.

Made a stop here on my trip to Niagara Falls. The best taco s my girlfriend has ever had. I ate an order of chicken wings and they also were very tasty. If your ever find yourself in Niagara Falls make sure you check out F Bites Cantina.

Me and my best friend went here on our first night in Niagara and we had the Biarra tacos, grilled chicken, and fried fish tacos and trashed it. We each took and bite and was like UHM... NO. Only saving grace was the lavender lemonade. As a taco lover I will never recommend this place.

Unknowingly while stopping in we learned that this guy was on Hells Kitchen. The restaurant has a 3.7 rating at the time of writing this. I ordered a gumbo, my kids a queso burrito, my wife ordered 3 tacos. 1. My gumbo is really salty. It is really good, though. 4 out of 5 2. My sons burrito is rated a 2 out of 5 3. My daughters burrito is rated 3 out of 5 4. My wifes tacos are a dripping mess of grease for a 2 out of 5 though she likes it as a 3 We ordered lavender lemon tea - which arrived in a Startbucks cup. There is a place on the block. Uhhh, okay fine. The womens bathroom had many empty rolls of toilet paper, the owner is yelling at his crew like its Hells Kitchen - and this is not, the guy giving us our food is a bit rude. I went and got a rag to clean our table because most tables were dirty. The music volume is stupid loud here. When calling ready orders the customers have difficulty hearing. The kitchen yells multiple times and louder each time. My son used his decibel reader and we hit 63 though I could not get a picture of it. 5. I asked the family if they would want to eat here again in the future and it is a 3 to 1 NO! My daughter, who is 10, was the yes.

The ribs and greens were salty and the owner was extremely rude when approached about it. I found it to be extremely unprofessional and a poor representation for minority business owners everywhere. Be clear we will never eat here again and others would be well advised to consider a different option when visiting Niagara Falls.

We ended up stopping here for lunch and we got the birria tacos and queso burrito w/pulled pork. The birria tacos were okay, nothing special. Mild favor. The dipping sauce is what made it but they dont give enough of it. The queso burrito was not good at all. The pulled pork had absolutely zero flavor that even salsa couldnt help it. Highly do not recommend.

Tacos shouldnt be difficult. I really wanted to give this place a chance, as my family and I were hungry for a quick lunch after visiting the Falls, but F BITES Cantina served the worst tacos Ive ever paid for. They only offered ground beef for their tacos, and only sold them in three packs for $15. No single tacos. We ordered two three pack tacos and a side order of chips and salsa. When we received our food, these flavorless tacos were sitting in puddles of water/grease and basically fell apart the moment you tried to eat them. Also, the chips were stale, as if they had been sitting out for a few days. I immediately regretted our choice of visiting F BITES Cantina. We would have been better off waiting twenty five minutes and buying Ortega Taco mix and and making our own at home. These over priced bland tacos were a waste of money. I would honestly give them zero stars if I could. These were the worst tacos Ive ever had.

Ordered fish tacos and carnitas tacos. The side of rice & beans was mixed so that the rice was soggy, and the beans were a sweet barbecue flavor. Some people may like this but I m from the Southwest and I expected plain pinto beans, and rice that s not soggy. The carnitas meat was quite good but the salsa verde was a creamy white - looked like mayonnaise and dill. Would not recommend if you want authentic spicy Mexican food.

So my family and I stopped in to Cantina Falls for a late dinner. What a horrible mistake we made choosing this place. When we first got there we felt some promise because the food smelled pretty good. Boy were we wrong without question the worst food we have had in a long time.

Burnt as hell pulled pork sandwich. Enough BBQ sauce for 10 sandwiches. Fries were hot. Not a good restaurant choice.

December 22, 2021

Super disappointed, after building the excitement for the jerk chicken tacos. We almost left the rest of the food. Even the homestyle tacos we ordered were bad. They look good but you bite into beef that just tastes like old grease. How is the chicken burnt but the taco is still cold? You would think it would be warm after you got it right off the grill. Yet, after the first bite it was so cold we threw most of it out. Nowhere close to authentic tacos or even good American fake ones. Forced it down to waste the good amount of money we paid. Could not finish the last taco.

December 22, 2021

Its nasty. Overly salty. Too many toppings. The tacos came out looking like tortilla soup because it was so watery/greasy. I would take down the hells kitchen pictures, Gordan Ramsey would be embarrassed. It was also really expensive. We should have eaten at one of the street venders. Please dont eat here.

My husband had the tacos which were also very good. Try the lavender lemonade!! Fast service, clean restaraunt, hip atmosphere, and a no fuss menu with some unique dishes. Almost five stars, but the staff was not wearing masks which is wide spread in Niagara Falls and surprising for the level of tourism from around the country.

The truth is that the tacos, apart from the fact that they were not Mexican style, had a bad taste due to all the tanning they put on top, to see if I knew I would have eaten pizza across the street, no way. Save $15 for an order of 3 tacos.
