La Verdad Cafe Deli

When it comes to BBQ, many places claim they are the best. But when you give them a shot, they end up missing the mark. La Verdad went beyond hitting the mark, they hit dead center for a bullseye. Like many other Yelpers, I came here for a the elite event. They were featuring a meat slider with your choice of protein. With a side of bbq beans or a kale slaw. It also came with a free can of pop ($10). The other option was the Veggie rice bowl, also with the same choices of sides ($10). My wife and I both ordered the stretch mark brisket sandwich, top with mac&cheese, kale slaw, and bbq sauce. The brisket was soft as butter, and the smoke taste was just right. I enjoyed the kale slaw inside the sandwich, it gave a nice break from the smokiness of the meat. We also ordered their tacos ($4-$5 depending on protein). We tried their chicken, two pulled porks, and the brisket. You have a choice of toppings (kale slaw, yellow rice), and I believe their is one other topping but I can't remember. The tacos ( Soft shell tortillas) came pack, with meat and toppings. Again the meat was nicely smoked, and the toppings was a good compliment to the meat. La Verdads is going to give alot of bbq joints, in Buffalo a run for their money. I would like to suggest a few things though. As good as the smoke meat were, they all tasted the same. If you were blindfoled you wouldn't be able to tell, what meat you were eating. So if they could season the meats differently, that would be alot better. Also for the toppings for the tacos, it would be wonderful to have a mango salsa choice. Another thing regarding the tacos (chicken), not sure if this is supposed to be included. But I would've like it better if it was taken out, and that's the skin. Skin that isn't crispy, just adds a rubbery texture to your meal. Lastly, the wait time is extremely long, we waited an hour for the food to arrive. I know good food takes time, but this was a bit to long. I will be back very soon, the food is really good.

BBQ was great and the service friendly. Brisket was fantastic and the potion my sandwich was very satisfying. Came with Mac&cheese on top of my brisket but it added nothing but calories. Kind of bland. Next time I'll go without to focus on the BBQ meat.

Love serving the people and putting a smile on their faces. Voted the # 1 Bbq spot in the state of New York 2020. Featured in a cooking competition in 2021. Takes pride in making sure that the food and customers are always on point. Due to a little setback, we are excited about to seeing the new La Verdad Cafe Deli Takeout and food truck.

What an amazing place! When my husband and I first walked in, we were greeted by smiling faces and offered samples of burnt ends and brisket- as soon as I tasted those I was hooked! After combing through the menu and asking a few questions we ordered and sat down. Our food was brought out to us about ten minutes later. WOW! Just wow. Amazing! We ordered the burnt ends sandwich and pulled pork sandwich with a large side of jalapeño Mac and cheese. I ate the pulled pork. The coleslaw on its own was the best I've ever had (I love coleslaw!)- seriously. The pulled pork sandwich that I ordered traditionally comes with mac and cheese on it but I asked them to skip it and they did with no issues. The pork itself was perfect with an amazing BBQ sauce. The side of jalapeño Mac and cheese was amazing, made with real cheese not that gooey cheese sauce some BBQ joints serve. I can't say enough how wonderful the staff is, and the food speaks for itself. Seriously amazing, we cannot wait to go back!!
