Maizal Mexican Kitchen

Maizal Mexican Kitchen and Mezcaleria at 4840 North French Road in East Amherst, NY is an authentic scratch-made Mexican and Oaxacan restaurant tucked inside the Commons on North French just off Transit Road, where Chef Leo’s entire menu is built from family Oaxacan recipes — from handmade tortillas and fresh squeezed margaritas to a signature 26-ingredient mole negro that sets Maizal apart from every other Mexican restaurant in Western New York. The restaurant doubles as a full mezcaleria featuring a 400-plus bottle agave spirits collection including tequila, mezcal, and rare agave pours, making it one of the most extensive agave bar programs in the Buffalo area alongside a casual, family-friendly atmosphere with outdoor seating and live music. Open Monday through Thursday from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, Friday from noon to 9:00 PM, Saturday from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Maizal also offers reservations, catering, delivery, and private event services for the greater Amherst and Buffalo area.
