Shark Gives New Bite to Mighty Taco
Mighty Taco was founded in 1973 and has always been exclusively in Buffalo. They have 15 locations across the WNY region and have no signs of slowing down. Shark Energy Drink has been around since 1965, but just recently moved to Buffalo in 2007.
Shark has really been making a splash around the city. With their presence on Chippewa, as well as with Mickey Rats and Cozumel, they have emerged as a contender for the top spot of energy drinks in Buffalo.
It almost comes with no surprise that Mighty Taco has taken them on. Full of taurine, choline bitartate, caffeine, and vitamins B6 and B12, Shark Energy Drink is the perfect fuel to regain energy after any meal.
CEO of Shark Energy Drink, Moe Boukadida speaks of the partnership, “We at Shark are thankful for the opportunity to be the first energy drink in a local fast food restaurant, not to mention in a place like Mighty that has won the local popularity contest.”
Isn't it great to know you can make your mouth and your body happy with Mighty and a Shark?

Music For A Sunday Afternoon
As some may know, the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society’s museum building was the NYS pavilion during the Pan-American Exposition. Sitting in the exact same place as it always has in the museum building is the Steinway & Sons grand piano, custom-built 107 years ago for the exposition. Stephen Baker, the BPO’s Associate Executive Director, will bring the grand piano to life at “Music for a Sunday Afternoon” on Sunday, July 6.

Recycling Made Easy? Is it possible?
Can anyone tell me why the vast number of cafés and restaurants in the city do not recycle? I’m actually having a hard time coming up with more than a couple that do. I am constantly walking back to the cash registers with papers and plastics asking where the recycle bins are. And I’m repeatedly told that there is no recycling policy in place. That means that the only way to recycle is to do it yourself… and who wants to carry papers and plastics around with them until they … - Today, 10:41am

The Kids Are Alright
One of the things that I really enjoy at the Thursday at the Square concert series is watching all of the young people congregate on Main Street. Last evening I found out that there is a new policy in place that forbids these kids from hanging out near Lafayette Square. From what I understand, a couple of fights broke out last Thursday and a shop window got broken. I can understand that there should be a concern when these incidents happen, but shooing everyone away because a coup … - Today, 10:15am

Help Re-Tree Buffalo
After the 2006 October snowstorm, Re-Tree WNY was established with the goal to restore the 8400 trees that were destroyed in Buffalo during the October 2006 storm.

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 liked the paper bags at mighty. Just cheapened the product when they went to plastic, plus a bit more environmentally unfriendly I believe.

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 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...

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.

Mighty has a policy that any new restaurants built must have a drive-thru. And you've seen the uproar curbcuts and increased traffic cause in Buffalo.
They should have moved into the new ETS location.
Actually, a Mighty at the old KFC would seem to work. Room for drive-thru, good location. Is it big enough?
But i really don't want to start any arguments on KFC again.
