Every year, Buffalo kicks off the summer season with one of the biggest Cinco de Mayo parties in the Northeast at Cozumel Grill & Tequila Bar on Elmwood Ave in Buffalo, NY! Thousands of revelers flock to the city's largest & favorite patio destination to sip cervazas & margaritas at this awesome Mexican restaurant & bar in the heart of the historic Allentown neighborhood near downtown Buffalo. And, don't worry about the weather because the Cozumel crew always plans ahead.

Cozumel Grill & Tequila Bar has been here on Elmwood in the historic Allentown neighborhood of Buffalo, NY for 11 years. Cozumel is widely known for their spacious patio and friendly bar atmosphere. But, they also serve up the best Mexican and southwestern food in Buffalo. Traditional favorites and tasty originals, they have something for everyone. Cozumel recently bought the building next door from Budget Rent a car. They have added some much needed parking for the growing business. The old Budget building is also being converted into a banquet hall - a great addition to one of my favorite restaurant/bars. As with any business in this small parochial town, building or expanding anything is never as easy as you think it will be. Questions of design, traffic and noise have been raised by just a few. But it only takes one complaint to squash the best laid plans. I attended a meeting with one of the owners at Cozumel and several of our neighbors. One neighbor complained about garbage, vandalism and late night noise from the patio. For us, street crime and trash from street people are by far the biggest problems. I live directly across the street from Cozumel and haven't had any problems with noise and trash from Cozumel. Most of the crime and vandalism that we worry about happens long after everyone has left the bar and the street's deserted except for the crackheads. The only time our street is busy with people and cars is when people come to Cozumel. We're happy to have people visiting here, from all over the city and the suburbs. I think the business that they're doing is great for all of us and is well worth any minor inconvenience from one drunken idiot who crosses the line occasionally. Cozumel employs up to 70 people during their peak and would like to be able to retain more of those employees during the traditionally slower times. One of my neighbors told me that he didn't see how the employment of those 70 people benefited him in any way and therefore was not Click Here For The Rest.
