Deep South Taco

Name: Deep South Taco
Address: 1707 Hertel Ave., Buffalo
Telephone: 17162358464

The second location of what's now a thriving local chainlet of taquerías whose menu splits the difference between authenticity and creative culinary fusion: a decent selection of tacos ranging from familiar but well-executed favorites (fish, carne asada, al pastor) to harder-to-find specialties (pork belly, guajillo-braised beef short rib, Yucatán-style pollo pibil steamed in banana leaf) to vegetarian options filled with potatoes or huitlacoche corn, and a smaller selection of other south-of-the-border favorites. As well, the decor is toned down quite a bit from the original location's psychedelic sensory overload, so if giant lucha libre masks and acid-trip light shows aren't your cup of tea, opt for Deep South's North Buffalo satellite.

Roots Coffee and Tea
If you do want a hipster coffeeshop experience in North Buffalo, Roots is the place to come — especially if you agree with the one reviewer who said "robust and bold isn't the only way coffee can succeed"; the flavor of the house brew is light, subtle, and almost tea-like. Plus, aside from the two titular beverages, they also serve a selection of craft beer from around the region, pastries from the Blue Eyed Baker, and kombucha on tap. Best of all, the quiet, mellow vibe doesn't translate into lackadaisical service: Roots takes care of their customers in a way that's quick and efficient, but still friendly.

Lexington Co-op
The much-anticipated second location of Elmwood Avenue's beloved upscale specialty grocer finally opened its doors in July 2017, with the same range of items on its shelves: if you're an aficionado of things organic, locally-sourced, gluten-free, non-GMO, or pretty much anything Gwyneth Paltrow might be into, the Lexington Co-op is your promised land. If not, it's still a friendly and pleasant place to shop for products that other area grocery stores usually don't carry. And if you're planning on staying in town for awhile or being a repeat visitor, consider purchasing an annual co-op membership to get access to special discounts and promotions.
