I wish Mighty Taco had 15 locations across the city. Sadly, there's only one remaining.

Also, I everyone I know is very upset about the switch to little bags of Tostitos.

You're right. It should say 15 locations across the WNY region. Changed.

With this headline I was hoping that Mighty Taco would start serving Baja-style fish tacos...if you think that sounds gross, I promise it's not...

i miss the homemade warm nacho chips or at least they seemed homemade :(

no kidding... how is there no Mighty Taco in the University Heights or Elmwood Village? Sure seems like their demographic. I don't know a time when the Mighty on Forest wasn't busy. I guess they ONLY have locations where they can have a drive thru. And that's sad. Guess that's the reason there isn't one downtown either. Was it true they wanted the current ETS location after BK left, and that's why ETS jumped into that location, to beat Mighty?

I don't think the chips were ever homemade, at least not in my lifetime. I remember they switched shapes a few times, from round to rectangular to triangular. I agree with flyguy about the plastic bags, the paper bags were much nicer. And remember how entertaining the placemats used to be? What about the change in the bean recipe? Is anyone else aware that at one time you could get Italian dressing on your taco?

Seriously, though... why has Mighty Taco all but abandoned the city? Maybe they should build a new store at Elmwood and Bryant. It would preserve the fast food character of that corner.

They would make a killing with a location proximate to Canisius and UB South.

Speaking from experience, they would also do well with a location in Geneseo. I remember friends in college driving an hour to an hour and half back to Buffalo for a "mighty run." They'd come back with food for 20 or more people.

LivingForge - I remember doing that during my freshman year of college. If I came home for the weekend I'd call Geneseo before driving back and pick up an order for all my friends from the area.

"They would make a killing with a location proximate to Canisius and UB South. "

They used to have a Bailey Ave location in the UB area....guess it was a victim of changing neighborhood demographics. I think a Univ Heights location on Main would do just fine. The original at 1247 Hertel was the best ever - open late most nights you grabbed your tacos and stood at the front window counter watching the nightlife pass by...

Anyone miss the big soft homemade chocolate chip cookies? I remember eating at least 3 with my meal they were so damn good. Now they serve hard ones...definatly not as good. Oh well I still eat there every week.

Folks love Mighty Taco because they're local, but in reality they're now just as suburban-oriented as Taco Bell. It's sad the same can apply to Anderson's and Ted's, too.
