The 48 best spots for tacos in Pittsburgh

It is centrally located , They have a lot of seating including outside siting. Though the weather currently is not supportive of it I guess most days we would get parking in the adjacent street, which is a big plus Tamales tastes nice , The guacamole is fabulous to taste Empanada were not done well though 😔

I was extremely hesitant to try this spot because Mexican food in Pittsburgh is questionable. I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty our meals were and the great value of the happy hour menu. Wonderful service, good food, and nice drinks.

We recently had dinner here to celebrate my future sister-in-law finding her dream wedding dress! We were all so excited because it was a first-visit for everyone + the menu looked 🔥 Unfortunately, upon arrival, we noticed the building’s A/C was broken and they didn’t actually have our reservation noted down (which we’d intentionally made multiple days in advance). Sadly, the service left Much to be desired… The server was very flustered even though there were maybe 2 or 3 other tables sat in the whole place. She finally sat our group upstairs, showed us the QR codes on the tables and proceeded to act like we were crazy when we questioned her about ordering AND paying ahead of time through their linked website. Odd, but OK… I know I would have felt differently if she hadn’t made a point to tell us she was really busy and already had “too much” to do. It made us feel like an imposition. I will say: the food I had was delicious… I personally gave the food category a 4-star rating because the plantain/cheese empanada and the birria tacos and the guacamole were all phenomenal! I’ll be dreaming about it for weeks, I’m sure! I’ll close with this: I’m not often one to leave a review for a less than 4 or 5 star experience because I know how Google reviews can impact a business (I’m a small business owner myself), but sometimes honest and constructive feedback leads to positive growth.. 🍀

I tried La Palapa’s food truck and it did not disappoint. The ingredients were super fresh and everything tasted great. Everything is first come first serve and they can run out especially if they are super busy.

I visit La Palapa since years ago and i love it! Margs, delicious food, great owner engagement and some live Luis Miguel🙌🏻❤️

We recently hosted my sister’s bridal shower here and it was absolutely perfect. The staff were incredible and the food delicious. We had a space outside behind the main restaurant which was a bit warm but spacious. Jesus was easy to work with and prices were reasonable. Great music, curated by our server. Highly recommend!

We came here for a family reunion in Pittsburgh. This was one of the few places that was able to accommodate our large group of over 20 people in a reserved dining area. The management and staff did a wonderful job making our family dinner a success, for both adults and kids. The food was wonderful and the service was fabulous. Highly recommend!

Went here for lunch. We had tacos. The tacos were good. The chicken bacon ranch taco was amazing but I was most concerned about them putting us next to the back room where all the dirty dishes go to die when the place was empty. It was creepy and dirty. The dragon fruit seasonal special wasn't special. The habanero rim was too much and the drink was too sweet. I can see someone liking it. I didn't.

We tried this place when they first opened and hated it. Years later they're still here so we figured we'd try it again. It's even worse. Some of these reviews say they use canned chicken and I can confirm that's 100% true. We got a bowl that was cheese sauce thickened with rice and canned chicken. The rice was like gas station sushi rice. It was awful. SLOP! We couldn't eat it. Miller lite in a mason jar was $5.50!

There are plenty of options, toppings, and sauces. They have some specialty pre-defined tacos or you can build your own. I liked they had double decker style too, with a hard shell wrapped in a soft tortilla. Started with the elote queso. Could have used more corn, but was really good. Chips were not overly salty and very crisp. I got one of the Korean bbq tacos, but substituted tofu for the pork. The gochugang sauce was a little heavy, but the tofu was nice and firm and evenly fried to stand up to the sauce. The sauce did soften the hard taco a little but not totally soggy. I also got a chicken bacon ranch taco and substituted the chipotle crema for the ranch. It was really good. Lots of crunchy bacon. Also had a Cactus Juice mocktail which was very tasty. I went in late and wanted to watch the end of the college football game, so I stayed downstairs. The downstairs is small and there was a group of about 8 ladies at a 6 person booth/table. They were so loud you couldn't hear the music overhead and the bartender and server were having to scream to be heard. Service was great and decor was nice.

Great variety of excellent tacos with the ability to custom make just about anything you want. Lots of options for vegetarians and the food is just plain great! Staff was very friendly and quickly accommodated a larger group of us during lunchtime and allowed us to get separate checks. For the size of the group the food came out pretty quick and everything was as ordered. This place will be a repeat for me if I get the chance.

Get's the job done. I love that you can customize your tacos however you want, and the staff can be friendly enough. The meat in the tacos seems just average though, edible, decent, but nothing that wows me enough to make me want to tell all my friends.

LOVE the staff first and foremost. Raylen (I Amy spell that wrong) was an absolute delight! We stopped by because of a recommendation from a random person an hour away selling Amish baked goods. She said we HAD to try them. The waitress told us about all the other spots for locals and we cannot wait to try them. Now the food.. the food was so well seasoned. I had the brisket swole bowl.. I added pickled onions and a crunched up spicy taco shell. It was so damn good. Hubby had the Ju-Ju taco with ground pork and said it was the best seasoned meat he ever had. I had a mezcal marg, he had a strawberry one. Super fresh and so refreshing. 10/10 would recommend. And ask for Hayden.. she is amaze-balls.

The food is so good we went to eat here two days in a row. The swole bowl is absolutely delicious, and so are the crunch lunch burritos with a side (which are a good deal during lunch hours). The staff is also very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place!

Cannot comment on the tacos but we LOVE phat bagels in the am! The candied jalapeño spread is out of this world and they give you a bagel! They don’t short you like most places that charge $10 for a tiny bagel with no spread (iykyk)! This place LOADS IT UP! Massive breakfast sandwich, tons of spread options, and we have had it several times and it has always delivered! Bagels are tasty, fluffy, and soft. Staff is wonderful and we always have the best experience! Have tables for outside seating, but nothing indoors as of now! Def a must try if you love bagels or are the in area!

I can't believe I haven't left them a review before but this time I finally remembered to take a pic before devouring the food. This time around got the gordito burrito with beef and chips and salsa. Both delicious! I was actually shocked at the amount of flavor packed into the salsa. The burrito is so filling that I might save half for later. In the past have also had their limeade, which is delicious, and different kinds of breakfast burritos....the BBQ mushroom is fantastic. These are awesome people making awesome food. They never disappoint.

Very disappointed right now. You guys can't be contacted by mail, email not phone! I already left and lost money. I asked for Burrito with Rice Chicken. And Beans and to put the Pico in it. I went to eat my burrito and no pico...no cilantro no veggies and I tried to call, only to find out they have no phone! I just lost $15. Never again! They can't follow directions? BTW the chicken tacos are thigh meat or the dark meat!!! 😩Let the customers know you aren't using white meat please!

OMG! We went because we heard the birria tacos were great. My fiancé got them, and I chose to get something different. I had substantial anxiety about it, but I had nothing to worry about. I got the San Diego Burrito w/ brisket. Unbelievable. Though, to be faaaiiiirrrr, the brisket is a cheat code. I'm pretty sure I'd eat a slipper if they put that brisket on it. Wow! My fiancé says the birria tacos were the best she's had. So, yeah, eat here! Some things to note, there is no inside dining. It's takeout only despite what it says in Google Maps and even the photos are probably from a prior location. They have 3 or 4 tables on the sidewalk. Make it work. It's worth it. No photo because burritos are not photogenic, even outrageously delicious ones.

Baby Loves Tacos is more than just amazing food—it’s a family-owned business where the warmth and love are served first-hand. Every taco tastes homemade, with perfectly seasoned fillings, soft tortillas, and salsas full of personality. The team is welcoming, genuine, and passionate, and that family energy makes the whole experience special. Truly one of Pittsburgh’s best spots—you’ll taste the love in every bite.

This place is absolutely fantastic. The food itself is so good. Its high quality ingredients and really good recipes. I also feel like the value cannot be beat. When I go here I am paying for the food versus the atmosphere of a fanciet sit down restaurant (which is of course nice at other times) which I appreciate when I go somewhere for lunch. I also stopped by one time and they were closing up and were giving out free burritos. They didnt want to waste the food which is really thoughtful and I think shows great values. Makes me want to keep spending money here. Thank you very much to everyone who works here!

This is one of the very best food spots in Pittsburgh. Heck...this is one of the best food spots I've ever been to. And yet...it's a hidden gem for so many people because this is a small family business. Baby Loves Tacos is a true hidden gem...somehow...in Pittsburgh. The food is S tier and the family that owns are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

Located on the upper floor of a building in Market Square, Las Velas can be a little tricky to find at first, but it’s absolutely worth it once you get there. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, and despite being a random weekday, the place was bustling—always a good sign! I visited solo and chose to sit at the bar, which turned out to be a great spot to enjoy the quick service and friendly staff. I ordered the Al Pastor tacos, and they did not disappoint—flavorful, well-prepared, and satisfying. As someone visiting Pittsburgh, I had heard great things about Las Velas, and I’m happy to say it lived up to the hype. I’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for delicious Mexican food in the heart of the city.

I got a pork plate, taco,burrito enchilada with rice and beans. The food had good flavor. Everything was lukewarm. My taco had hard reheated pork in it, I thought they were bones. Good atmosphere, clean, good service. I think all the businesses in that area are suffering from construction right outside their door. First Mexican restaurant were you didn't get chips and salsa. They were extra.

Absolutely loved this place! The food was bursting with authentic Mexican flavor, you can really tell everything is made with care. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was warm and colorful, and the whole experience just felt special. If you’re craving real Mexican food, this spot is a must!

Service here was not good , server took a long time to get our appetizers and food. And when the food did come , most of it was wrong or missing, when we told the server it was wrong she said she would check the receipt which is weird because we know what we ordered . We didn’t get any refund on the 3 orders that were messed up. I’m ok with paying my food but at this point there was 3 orders messed up and we only changed one of them because we didn’t wanna take up even more time waiting .i don’t remember the servers name but she was tall Hispanic with glasses and brown/blonde highlights .Here are the pics

Service was a bit slow, seems understaffed. Our server was running around a lot of tables. I waited 15 minutes for a soda refill. Not impressed with the queso, it was very watery and dripping all over us and the table. I wasn't expecting all of the pork/carnitas tacos to be al pastor style; I'm personally not a fan of the pineapple taste in my carnitas but it wasn't bad per se. This is one of the most sparsely decorated Mexican restaurants I've ever seen, kind of disappointing. And if it matters to you, there is a discount if you pay with cash.

I ate dinner here based on reviews. Did not disappoint. Service was extremely fast, but almost to a point where it felt like we were rushed to order. The food was great, however the stuffed jalapenos felt like they were missing something. Couldn't put my finger on it though.

Awesome place, Great Food, Service and Atmosphere. I ordered Chicken Enchiladas Mole... The Enchiladas need to be a little warmer and a touch more salt, the refried beans were Great... I believe they are made in house as well as the great Spanish rice. The Margarita was good too. But most of all my waitress Ash or Ashton was Fast, Nice and friendly and was Amazing to watch her work She had such a Rhythm about her when she was working and never missed a beat, I asked for the manager so I could compliment her to the manager and she said that's me... Amazing experience at this place and I highly recommend this place !!! From me a Top 10 USA Google food blogger Ask for Ash and you won't be disappointed. Way to go Ash !!!

Was staying nearby for the night and this place looked good. It did not disappoint! I got the taco box with two very generous and absolutely delicious tacos plus chips and salsa. The shaved ribeye and Pollo taco were outstanding. For the price it was a good amount of food and the service was quick and friendly. Highly recommended.

Tacos are ordinary, no need to make a long distance if you are not really craving for tacos or other Mexican food. Prices are reasonable.

Have had better doce tacos these ones were average at best but we did go very late, the queso here is so good!

So good… Very large portion of fresh protein. Everything tasted wonderful!! The service was really good too. Choose this place over other Taco places!

Large portions, but cheap cheese spoilt the food for me. Hip decor. Limited menu. Friendly service.

You really doing expect a place that looks this fancy and “chainy” to taste authentic. But Doce Taqueria has a great selection of fire tacos! Fish, vegetarian/vegan, meat options, etc. I have been here several times and have not been let down! Really delicious tacos, salsas, guac, all at great prices!

First Time, Won’t be the Last!!! Delicious, Fresh, Clean and Amazing Staff. In from out of town and E.Carson Streets BEST tacos!!! $12 Box Deal Delivers. Shaved Rib Eye and Americano are a 10. The Chips and Queso and Pico, Chefs Kiss. ❤️😊. Come see Sam, Alyssa and Seth!!!!

Totopo is hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants in Pittsburgh. We ordered guacamole, nachos, fish tacos, and shrimp tacos. All of them were absolutely top notch. The naked burrito was just okay, but everything else made up for it. I also tried the spicy pineapple cocktail, and it was hands down the best drink of the night. To finish, we shared the tres leches cake, which was perfectly moist and delicious. Definitely a place worth visiting if you’re craving flavorful Mexican food and a fun atmosphere in Pittsburgh!

Amazing place for those who love authentic Mexican cuisine! Delicious and diverse dishes, friendly staff, and a cozy atmosphere make this restaurant the perfect spot for a great dining experience. Will definitely be coming back again!

I had a wonderful experience at Totopo. The food was authentic and everything tasted delicious. I particularly enjoyed the carne asada steak, which was cooked to perfection.

Good experience! Enchiladas and cochinita pibil were great! Enjoyed the company and the service is great! You won't stop eating salsa.

Joyless and sad Mexican food:( For $17+ I got a lukewarm, tasteless, small burrito, chips. 2 pink tomato wedges and some lettuce. I asked for everything on it but see the pics....nope! Also when I came in, it was sitting on a rack for Grubhub with no warmer.? GROSS!!!

Had a fantastic experience. Our waitress was amazing and really created an awesome experience. The food was just a good. This has to be the best Mexican restaurant in Pittsburgh by far. If you’re in the area you have check it out!

Totopo has been one of my favorite restaurants to go to for years. The food and drinks are amazing! The staff is always friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant especially when you're in need of some great guacamole.

Part 1 - About the Place: Bull River Taco's location just off the highway is convenient, but the small parking lot can be a challenge during busy times. The restaurant was surprisingly empty when I visited, which created an odd atmosphere. Part 2 - About the Food: When it came to the tacos, I had high hopes, but they fell short. The pork taco was disappointingly dry, lacking the succulence you'd expect. The spicy beef taco was passable, nothing more, while the chicken taco was outright unappetizing. It's a shame that none of the tacos lived up to expectations. Additionally, the homemade sauce had a strong vinegar taste, overpowering the delicate flavors of the fillings. A missed opportunity for a great meal.

Really great food! The nachos are the perfect and very well disrupted. They have very generous portions which I love. The people working there were very friendly! I’ll definitely come back again!

Love this place!! Loved the brisket tacos!! The queso is so yummy. We also love the beef tacos! 😋

GREAT tacos, everything is made to order with fresh ingredients. Loaded nachos were enough for two people. Prices are very reasonable. Will definitely be back for more. Please tap the like button if you find this review helpful.

Outstanding tacos! Had 3 one chicken, one pork, and one spicy beef. I'm not in this area very often but I will be coming by for a few tacos now and again. Those tacos were big and filling. And since i was the only person there at the time the service was super fast had my food in minutes.

I've only experienced the location in White Oak. They are consistently delicious and fresh. I've only had the beef and chicken tacos and the BBQ crunch wrap was a nice surprise. Street tacos can be messy. These are no different. I like that they give you a small lime wedge with each one. WILL BE RETURNING and will likely try out the Whitehall location as well. CHEERS!

Food was excellent! Had the brisket tacos and general Tso's crunch wrap. Both were top quality! My fiance had the taco salad and my daughter had the kids taco. Both were also raving about how good it was and that this is going to be a new usual spot for us. Not only was the quality of food good but the price was also great and the wait wasnt long at all (maybe 5 mins)! If all that wasnt enough the guy threw in some candy snacks and a drink free of charge for my daughter. You guys have new regulars for sure!

I was really hoping to enjoy these tacos but they’re $4 for each taco. Chorizo is my favorite but this chorizo taco was sour. The portion sizes are tiny! $16 for 4 tacos isn’t great but the people were super nice !

Absolutely delicious. I personally love his ground beef burritos with some salsa verde sauce on the side, but great food and awesome service. Edgar always remembers his customers too. Awesome guy and awesome food I would always recommend to anybody.

Edgar's Best tacos in Pittsburgh and like my daughter claims - THE BEST TACOS IN THE WORLD. Wow it's the best ever and the service is amazing. So authentic and we love the place. If you're in the Burgh and over by the Strip District, do yourself a favor and stop by and see Edgar.

Edgar man I had high hopes. I gave you three stars because your steak taco was good but you skimped out on the taco. Single tortilla, taco was slick thin, tacos ddnt seemed. I know this is the strip but I came through to support a local business but wasn’t super impressed. I was at the truck not the restaurant just FYI

I loved Edgar's as a taco truck and I'm so excited they got their own place! I wish I didn't live so far away from them or I'd be there everyday. Their food is authentic and delicious. I also had the très leches cake which was amazing! I loved the guac and chicken tacos with the homemade salsas too. I highly recommend!

The tacos were amazing, just the right amount of flavor!! We also got the pork taco to try, but did not get a photo. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

Can't say enough good things about this place. As soon as we entered the door we were greeted with a welcoming smile and a cheerful "Hola". Food was served quickly which we were happy about because we were starving after a long bike ride from South Side to the Strip. Dug into and quickly devoured four tasty Mexican-style tacos. Two were chicken tacos and two were carne asada. They were all out of this world! Will definitely return.

I was a bit disappointed this time when I ordered my burrito as it didn’t come with sour cream and it states on the website that it comes with sour cream. Also theres more rice than there is other ingredients, and the chicken tasted a bit old like if it was done in the morning time; A bit tough to bite. I would also suggest changing the styrofoam plates since my plate was a bit burnt throughout. Other than that still tasted good.

I came for takeout and ordered the Ranchero burrito, when I got home it turned out I received the original burrito. I was very disappointed as I paid $15 to get the wrong food. Also I found a long hair in my food. Which put me completely off eating the rest of it. Extremely disappointed by the fact. The food was also mostly rice, not much meat or anything else. Extremely disappointed

This place needs more love! The Alambre Tacos were recommended and did not disappoint! Amazing flavor and very filling, especially for the price. They offer other south of the border items along with several protein options. The service was helpful and friendly.

I’m in town for a few days so I had a craving for good shrimp tacos 🌮 shrimp 🍤 Everything taste fresh and seasoned so good… Churro was so yummy 😋 Coming from a restaurant background this place is a hidden gem if you didn’t know about… Whenever I’m in Pitt!!! I’ll be here for sure!!!

The staff was very friendly and did a great job of explaining the menu since this was our first time visiting the restaurant. My sister got the enchiladas. She thought they were excellent. I got tacos. I just thought they were ok in comparison to other Mexican restaurants I have been to. I wouldn't order them again if I went. My daughter got a quesadilla and thought it was really good. For our appetizer, we got the nachos. Those were definitely the star of the show for me. They were delicious and I would highly recommend this menu item. Overall it we had a good experience.

Any time I come to the Pit I go here. The tacos are so good, the yellow rice and pepper sauce. Yum.

I am super surprised at how good this place was! On the outside it doesn’t look the best. And, the prices are really quite cheap. The food might not be the most authentic, and it’s not “high class,” but it is delicious. I tried the empanadas with chicken and cheese, rice, beans, and a churro. The empanadas were incredibly good! They were huge too. Filled with lots of tasty cheese. The chicken was well cooked and well seasoned. I would have loved it to be a tad more crunchy, but still very good. The beans (black beans) were just okay. They tasted a bit canned, but they came for free with the empanadas. The rice was pretty good, but not that flavorful. Still tasty though. The churros was decent as well. It made for a nice dessert. Decent size, but the taste was not remarkable at all. Kind of standard. All in all, I really enjoyed this place. It’s some of the best empanadas I’ve had in a while. And, the sides aren’t bad either. Very good prices and portions. Definitely recommend for some cheap Mexican!

Stepping into this taco haven, you’ll immediately be enveloped in a vibrant yet soothing atmosphere. The rich red decor creates a warm, inviting ambiance that is both energetic and remarkably calming. Soft lighting and gentle background music, sets a relaxed tone. The food itself is a celebration of flavors, with tacos crafted to perfection using fresh ingredients. The menu offers a variety of choices, ensuring there’s something delightful for every palate. Complementing the excellent food is the top-notch service. A special shoutout goes to Hans, whose presence truly stands out. Hans not only provided exemplary service and suggested a variety of delicious tacos but also impressed with his great hair and impeccable sense of style, adding a unique charm to the dining experience. His friendly demeanor and stylish flair made the visit even more enjoyable. Sorry I couldn’t thank you in person before I left. In all, this taco restaurant is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates great food served in a beautifully designed, calming environment with service that goes the extra mile.

This place is fantastic in every aspect. We got the street corn app, chicken and Al pastor tacos, and cocktails. All were amazing! I could rant about it all, but the flavor and char on the chicken was mind-blowing! Service was exceptional and food came out super fast. As we dined, we admired the beautiful decor and wall paintings. Great atmosphere, great service, and amazing food. Don’t miss this spot!

Love the food, atmosphere and service! I normally have the Korean taco today. I changed it up and had both the fish taco and the mushroom taco with the classic margarita. They are all so good.

Probably the best tacos I've ever had. The ambience was so dark and moody I loved it. And the bartenders and service were amazing. 10/10

I have been to Tako probably 50 times since they opened. A solid choice and I am always grateful they serve food on the later side when most restaurants are shutting down at 9pm. My one wish is that they would offer a vegetarian taco as one of the daily specials because the mushroom one on the menu is not their best work. They had a carrot taco that was divine - bring it back forever! Subbing potato for the meat in the other tacos is offered as an option. Always good service.

I dined at this restaurant somewhere around the first month that they opened and there was a great deal of care going into the food and the recipes and the quality everything there was delicious that felt like several years ago. I talked it up to my family. we went before a show recently. We had the Korean barbecue tacos. My daughter had the gringo tacos. No one ate anything I ordered the Korean barbecue tacos. They were inedible burnt to a crisp crunchy like potato chips I make Korean barbecue at home often. This had no resemblance to Korean barbecue tasted like ashes I looked in the kitchen. There were six or seven people there just turning out food. I understand what happens when suddenly you have to make numbers and meet a scale instead of the passion in the quality I felt that this place lost for me all the appeal at once had. I’m sad to have to write this. I don’t see how I could go back for $150 for tacos and beer. I know the group that owns this has done and can do much better, but that’s what happens when volume takes over

Tasty food and such a fun atmosphere. The lighting made it hard to capture how tasty the food is, but trust me it’s good. I enjoyed it for date night with my husband. It’s noisy, so if you don’t like that it’s not for you, but the taste of the food meant I didn’t feel like I had to take space with words and I got to enjoy the moment.

Our waitress was really kind, fast, and helpful. However, I've had better Mexican food. To be fair, I only tried the enchiladas, and while they were good, they actually tasted better as leftovers the next day. The presentation of the food was excellent! As for the restaurant, it’s nothing extraordinary—just a decent spot for a quick meal when you're really hungry.

Tacos were fantastic killed em, my girl got the nachos, which she does not recommend, taco tuesday is a great deal of the deal, meals r lil uppity on normal price except for the drinks so happy hour is a definite must here

Overall, the experience here was good. Food was quick and quite tasty. The service was fantastic and our waitress was very nice. The reason this review is not a 5 star is because the food portions were a little bit small. I was still hungry after completing both my and my wife's meal. This could have just been the specific dishes we ordered, but we have ordered the same things in the past and they were bigger. Besides the portion sizes being smaller, everything was good, and I would return here!

I wanted to like this place, but the menu can really use some serious work. I'm not sure if the taste of everything was weird because all the ingredients were about to expire, or what? The tortilla soup is quite literally a clear broth with tortilla strips and a small amount of shredded cheese. I won't sugar-coat it, the soup sucked horribly. It was as if they ran out of the real tortilla soup and slapped the broth concoction together and hoped for the best. It has zero taste, even the tortilla strips flavor was absolutely lost. And the cheese added ZERO value or taste to the soup. The service was fantastic, the drinks were just fine. But please kick up the flavor of the food, and get RID of that awful tortilla broth.

come to have lunch order chicken and rice with cheese and i get a plate of rice with nothing but onions and lil piece of chicken and a big Potato in the middle of my food will not be coming back and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone lunch here is awful

This is a really solid mexican restaurant! Service was quick and the food came out piping hot. We were in and out in under an hour on a Saturday night which was just what we were looking for. Definitely glad we stopped by, I would recommend the burrito. The portions were very generous and the salsa had a good bit of kick as well.

Awesome restaurant. Staff are friendly and prompt. Hardly any wait on food. Prices a reasonable to potions, which are huge! Definitely worth your time to eat here. 🧡

Great place for tacos and burritos. I got the nachos, which took way longer than I expected, which affected the texture, and there wasn't enough protein, a lot of sauce and guacamole, which wasn't a plus for me. I would come back one more time because maybe the staff was having a bad day. The flavor was there, so I'll get something else next time.

Great spot in the North Side for more authentic SoCal Mexican. I had the Cali burrito. The vibe is so festive and fun, I love the unique stools and all of the Knick knacks. Elliott was so friendly and talkative. Can’t wait to go back!

Thought I'd give them another chance after their reopen . Queso was so thin and really didn't taste much like Queso SHOULD taste like (like it was literally watered down with milk? ). Polo Asado was so bland with not much flavor to the chicken at all. Last order I'll be placing.

Not what I expected when we chose this place before a concert on google, but it was delicious. It's on again city street, so parking is limited side streets. It's just a small little place. Seems to do more takeout than dine in. They have two long high tables against the sides of the walls with stools for dinning in, so it's more of a quick eat and head out. The food was delicious. I got a California burrito (which was LOADED with carne asada) and rice & beans.

Staff is super friendly and the place is very cool. I love the decor and painted seats and all. The food was pretty good quality, the queso wasn't my favorite but still pretty good. My only problem is that it was a little pricey but they probably use good quality ingredients so id say it's worth it. Would still recommend.

I got a chorizo, a chicken taco, and a TJ hot dog. You have to go street style because soft shell or die. The tacos were massive compared to the typical street tacos of Mexico or LA. Definitely worth the money. It came with the signature cilantro and onion, topped off with lime. I wish the hot sauce was a little hotter, but great tacos. As for the hot dog, it was described to me as “bacon-wrapped”, but I could not fin any bacon. It came topped with Mexican cheese, cilantro/onion, tomatoes, and guacamole. It was a great hot dog, but going in expecting bacon and not getting bacon was pretty disappointing. I will definitely go back, but I’m going back for the tacos, u less someone finds the bacon. Great atmosphere, very limited seating (I think there like 12 bar stools). Definitely get over here or I think there is a location in Regent Square. Either way, you’ll be happy and full.

I got two tacos - carne asada and a chorizo. Very yummy. Wish I’d tried more! Would definitely eat here again. Thought this was a restaurant but it’s quick service. There are places to sit, but not really a dine in place.

Edit : I really like this place but over past few years the quality of the tacos have degraded and so my rating. From 5 to 3 and now to 1. About the Place: This local taco place situated outside a Mexican grocery has its perks. The convenience of being adjacent to the grocery is a plus. There are tables outside where you can enjoy your meal, which is a nice touch. About the Food: The chicken and beef tacos are the standout choices here. They're both quite good and definitely worth trying. However, it seems like the quality might have taken a dip compared to how it used to be. It's disappointing when something that was once better doesn't hold up now. On the bright side, they offer fresh veggies as taco toppings, which adds a healthy and flavorful dimension to the meal.

These are the best tacos in Pittsburgh— hands down, landslide, no question. Every taco is made to order with fresh toppings for your choosing. There are excellent people who work here, and they provide not only a fantastic culinary experience, but have lots of good food to offer inside their grocery as well. Support this business!!!

The best tacos in Pittsburgh? Definitely a delicious top contender in the Steel City is Las Palmas Pittsburgh in Brookline. And at ONLY $3 each? Make the trip my friends! A grocery store with a taco counter outside. Simply order at the inside counter and then enjoy some of the most flavorful, authentic tacos in the city. Chicken, Steak, Chorizo, and Beef just to name some of my favorites. And can't sleep on the salsa bar that packs a flavor punch. Smother your eats to your likings is all I'm saying 🌮😋🇲🇽

Used to love this place, favorite spot in the city. But as all things… good things die. Here is the $3 al-pastor taco🙄

This place is part convenience store, part taco stand. The Tacos are a standout street ttrat at a great price. They have other locations, dine in restaurants, around the city but this one is by far the best. If you don't believe me just park near by and watch the customers come and go with big smiles and full bellies.

Amazing freshly prepared food. Would jump at the opportunity to eat here again.

I hate using the race card but they aren’t to fond of black women! I got tacos here recently And they had very blank expressions. Me and two other black women were in line and the guy cooking the foods energy was so nasty when he asked what I wanted. I thought I was over thinking it and then another black woman came out of the store and I see the guy cooking look at her and started whispering something under his breath while shaking his head in disgust. I love their food but if this is the treatment we receive while being paying costumers , IM GOOD. Other black people beware they are not too fond of us. Wish is wasn’t a race thing but unfortunately sometimes IT IS. This isn’t the first time I walked in there and they have unwelcoming energy. I just haven’t said anything until today where it was clear as day the cook was disgusted by the lady waking out of the store who just paid for her food !

Exceptional queso and tortilla chips. Mediocre enchiladas. Loved my rice, enjoyed my beans. Not very flavorful in general. Suited for a casual, chatty dinner with friends with a stronger focus on dining as a social experience than a culinary one.

Tocayo-Shadyside has excellent food. Delicious, perfectly crafted cocktails. I had the Jamaica Margarita and my Mom had a frozen Mango Marg. The guacamole is one of the best in the city. I was expected to be charged more for it, since the menu listed it's cost as "market price". But I believe it came to $14 for an appetizer portion fit for two. For my entree I tried the mix and match tacos. I had the fish taco, which was insanely good. And I tried a chicken chorizo taco, which was very good. These came with a very flavorful and nicely portioned side salad. My Mom tried the shrimp taco and she raved about how good it was. Service was nice enough. As far as atmosphere goes. Tocayo is beautifully decorated with vibrant, colorful and cheerful decor. But the overall vibe from staff and other patrons was the opposite of cheerful, warm and vibrant. It was sterile and muted. That was kind of a drag. Maybe they didn't particularly like that my eight year old son was with me? He's very well behaved and quite frankly, the life of the party anywhere we go. Maybe they could take a nod from him and loosen up and crack a smile once in awhile. I would give them another try. But if I get the feeling my kid is unwelcome again, then I'll never go here again.

My meal consisted of chips and salsa, a blood orange margarita, 2 tacos (chicken and chorizo, and steak), the white bean chili, and an espresso lava cake. Solid food all around. The green tomatillo is a must, and the white bean chili was a stand out as well. The tacos were great, the margaritas were tasty, and the dessert hit the spot. Consistently served great food here. I paid $80+ for 2 adult meals with margaritas, 1 dessert, 1 taco for a child with a horchata drink, and chips and salsa. Overall, a 4.5 out of 5.

Tacoya serves flavorful tacos, fresh homemade guac and delicious cocktails. Chill vibes a great service!

I almost never write reviews but this place deserves a dozen from me. We went with our hockey team last night, so we were almost 30 people and they took amazing care of us. The drinks were outstanding and the service was fast. I had the guac, shrimp and chicken tacos and a tortilla soup. Literally best tacos I’ve ever had. The shrimp ones were especially good. Just a gorgeous mix of flavors and ingredients. Not a one note taco! Staff was helpful and responded to us! Not one mistake in orders. Just outstanding. The corn hole and ladder ball outside was perfect for the boys too.

Stopped by this food truck in PPG plaza. So delicious! I got Barbacoa tacos with no onions and they did not disappoint!!! Mad I haven’t stopped sooner.

Really nice mexican place with a good atmosphere. It is general moderately priced, but I'd say it's worth the taste and the quality. The horchata pitcher is the best thing you can order if you're more than 2 people, and I'd definitely recommend their enchiladas as well. The rice and the burritos are really well cooked and the staff helps you with your specific taste as well.

Felt like las palmas meets homemade, plus tons of toppings. Or maybe - like a more intense flavor homemade leaning version of patrons. Overall really nice mexican food in the area. Intense, sharp flavors. Tacos were packed. Prices were a little higher than i expected. Paid 16 dollars for 3x a la carte items, but perhaps that’s the deal these days Worth mentioning it was fast service in an authentic feeling joint. I’d go back and enjoy it. It’s not blow your mind mexican food, but it’s quite good and you’ll likely enjoy it

I tell you what this place was fantastic, I come in not really knowing what to expect because it's in sort of tiny strip mall and there isn't a lot of signage letting you know it's there visible from rt.8 and I never would have noticed it had it not been for google maps recommending it to me because usually you are driving as fast as possible to beat that light by the gas station. Anyway the food was amazing and we ordered nearly everything from the menu, we are taking about $150+ for two people (we had loads of left overs of course) Everything was got was great tasting and exceeding what I had expected. The taste was authentic and the service was great as well. They do have a small seating area which was empty when we got there and nobody ever sat down except for my wife and I. This seems mainly as a carry out joint and there were plenty of people coming in to pick up orders. Cost wise they are in the middle and had a recent price hike due, what I suspect, is inflation and the cost of food going up but it was still a good value for what you got. This is an easy repeat for me as it's on the way to my parents so I will be back for sure.

Good food, reasonably priced, friendly staff, plenty on menu items to pick from, and a clean restaurant. Order was correct and came out of the kitchen... hot and delicious! I will definitely be a returning customer!

The food was absolutely delicious, reasonably priced, and quickly made! I had the chicken burrito and churros. Before ordering online, I'd recommend calling them since they were out of tres leches but it was still listed on their website. The grilled chicken burrito was quite large. I customized it without onions and they were ensured there were no onions. The sauce in the burrito is excellent. A bit creamy, flavorful, and plentiful. The chicken is tender and there is quite a lot of chicken! The outer shell is soft and when I picked it up, it was still warm. Took only 10 minutes to make. The burrito comes with two sauces for free (red and green). Both are somewhat acidic and quite spicy. You'll love them if you are a fan of real spice. The churros were the best I have ever had. You can add caramel to them as well, probably for a small upcharge. The plain version was still amazing. Crispy on the outside, and fluffy in the inside. It was not overly hard. There is some sort of sweet cream/stuffing on the inside which was also quite unique. I believe you get 6 with each order. Overall, I highly recommend the California Taco Shop. It is a great bang for your buck, has authentic flavors, and lots of variety. Plus, they make your food very quickly. Delicioso!

Out of towner trying this place for the first time. Delicious food, fresh, and very flavourful. Tried the fish taco, shrimp taco, Al pastor taco, and al pastor burrito. Had the guac and chips. Stick to the tacos.

DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS GEM! We happened upon this place purely by chance today as I was planning to shop at a nearby store and we needed some lunch. As a former California resident, when I saw fish tacos I knew it was going to be different than some "white people taco night" deal. I peeked in the window and knew it would be great. I got the carnitas plate which the cashier said was one of his favorites, and my friend got the fish tacos which she said were amazing. Food came out lightining fast My carnitas plate was BUSSIN ya'll, with freshly grilled tortillas on the side and a generous plate of crunchy, meaty, fatty, delicious carnitas, some smooth delicious beans and rice, and a little salad. Topped with the house hot sauce it had the perfect blend of heat and flavor. And they had Mexican coke which I prefer because it doesn't have HFCS. The decor on the wall almost made me feel like I was in a California taco place and that I could walk outside to some hot sunshine and a short walk to the beach. Can't get that here on the east coast but at least the food got me close! Though I am from a couple hours away I plan to return to Pittsburgh several times this year and will be sure to hit this place again. Definitely recommend.

OMGGG EVERYTHING WAS SO GOOOOD! The food was amazing. The staff was kind, organized, and serene despite the busy weekend dinner rush. We came for my sister in law's birthday and they took care of our table while managing a steady stream of customers.

Decent food, for cheap. I enjoyed my Birria tacos! The churros were mediocre. Great for a quick bite.

This was my first time here! went there for lunch. There was no wait. The employee was good friendly and welcoming. I had got two fish tacos. My daughter had the steak tacos. They were good! this place also has a downstairs. It’s big inside too. They also serve liquor.

Nice taco spot with a wide selection of flavors. The staff were great to us as we had a toddler with us. Really good experience.

My experience inside this place was horrible! I ordered from this exact place two weeks ago through uber eats and ordered the same exact thing inside. Totally different food. I order the barria tacos and I got fried corn tortilla no limes no cilantro no nothing my tacos are dry even wit the side of sauce they give you. I ask the waitress what was going on and she said they are always served this way and I know for a FACT they are not because I’ve had them before. Im very disappointed!!

We were there tonight and had such a horrible experience. The server got an attitude when we asked for silverware and dared to call lettuce topped with steak and NOTHING ELSE a salad.there were like three servers just sitting at a table ignoring customers. Never. Again.

They force you to buy 2 of the same. There's no a la carte feature. No unsweetened ice tea. What I had was very good but I don't want 2 tacos exactly the same. Chips are below average. Lots of broken pieces.

Ordered takeout. I ordered the steak tacos, which do not list cheese anywhere in the ingredients, nor is there an option to remove it if there was. I received them with cheese and was very disappointed as I’ve heard good things about the food and was excited to try it out. I wasn’t able to eat it as I have an allergy.

Las Palmas es muy delicioso!! Atwood Street is where you’ll find Las Palmas tacos. Locating parking can be challenging but don’t get upset! Because these tacos son muy ricos! (Very good). Atwood street is a one way street so take that into account. When trying to find parking I found that taking boulevard of the Allies all the way in until you meet Basset st, hanging a left at that light and taking it up until you run into Atwood street is the best route. The tacos are done on an outside flattop grill. The well seasoned and well loved flattop grill pumps the tacos out in a timely manner. As your eyes grow as large as your stomach, the mind paces its thoughts on what you’re about to do to these finely done corn tortillas and choice of meat tacos. Finally in what seems to be a blink of an eye your tacos are done and waiting to be garnished by no one other than you. You’ll find the garnishes to the left of the flattop grill and it’s up to you to pick your toppings. The selection is plentiful between the cilantro, salsas, limes, and toppings the tacos become your canvas of love! But don’t forget about the.. ..Tienda (store) right behind the gentleman who makes these wonderful joys, is a door to Mexico itself. Finding all the joys of a Mexican tienda right here in Pittsburgh Pa!!!The store houses Mexican candies, spices, pops, and candy as well as a deli in the back. This place is a little piece of Mexico nestled into the college community of Oakland!

Not really a restaurant, more of a grocery store. There is a dude out front who grills your tacos 🌮. Tacos and everything he makes is very good 😌. definitely a super authentic place to go 🙏

Little grocery store is packed with good produce and fresh prepared goods as well as usual canned/bagged snacks and spices. Tacos in front are cheap and excellent for the price - many of the salsas have great heat and flavor. 4 stars because the area is somewhat dangerous and slummy (not safe at night or alone, especially for girls). Also the taco stand consistently fails health inspections year after year which isn't a surprise considering all the taco toppings just sit out exposed for hours a day. You better have an iron gut because there's a decent chance of getting some bug from here.

$4 a taco now and most the time don't have ribeye anymore. Time to learn to make your own tacos

Best Taco and quesadilla in the burg. True Mexican food; reminds me of Tuijuana and Rosarita on SoCal border!

Best tacos in Oakland, great selection of Mexican groceries and snacks as well

2 of 3 tacos were okay. Ordered lengua got tripe. Yuck! Double check orders before you leave.

Did you know that Duo's Taco is actually in the Duolingo building (yes, the language learning app!) and owned by the same people? Fun fact! I really liked the interior and overall atmosphere—very cool and inviting. The service was great too—everyone was polite and courteous. We ordered guacamole and salsa as appetizers, and both were delicious. I also tried the pineapple hibiscus drink, which was just okay—not bad, but not my favorite. As for the tacos, you get 3 for $13, which isn’t bad. The tortillas were corn, handmade in-house, and absolutely delicious. My only critique is that the tacos felt a little small—I wish there was a bit more meat in them. Overall, though, a good experience. I’d go back!

Duos is located in East Liberty. I the guacamole was freshly made. The flautas were good too. The goat birria was delicious very flavorful, it was served with five of the smallest tortillas I’ve ever seen, and toppings, and you build your tacos. The menu is kind of small not many choices, everything I ordered was tasty. The prices are high, the portions are small, but overall good experience

Freshly made and flavourful guac. They refilled our chips after we finished with our first round. The burrito was absolutely delicious too and I’ve never tasted such a yummy green sauce that came with it. Went on labor day and overall a pleasant experience. It was overpriced in my opinion but worth a try

Had such a great experience at Duo’s - the service is amazing, the ambience is great, and the food is fantastic! We didn’t have reservations for the night, but got seated at the full-service bar. The guacamole y totopos were great - the chips can be refilled which was great since the portion of guacamole was gigantic. We ordered the zanahorias (carrots) which were sooooo yummy - the carrots are so sweet and the beans gave it great balance. We also got the tacos estilo baja with the oyster mushrooms (mayo omitted) which were also very delicious. With the addition of refried beans on the side, this was a great meal for two of us! The mango agua fresca was also great! Appreciated the many vegan options, which are clearly marked on the menu, as well as other dishes that can be modified to be vegan. The service here was also very attentive and the staff gave great vegan recommendations! I’d highly recommend checking out Duo’s for a great dining experience! Cheers to the staff for the great service as well. We’ll definitely be back!

Yes, you read that right—Duolingo, the language learning app, has a Mexican restaurant- Duo’s. And surprisingly— It’s not just a gimmick. Duo’s delivers authentic flavors in a warm, modern space that feels like a curated escape. The staff was welcoming, the cocktails were elevated, and the overall vibe was inviting—definitely built for groups, date nights, or anyone chasing a polished experience. I came specifically to try the suadero tacos—after eating my way through LA’s street taco scene, that cut has become a personal favorite. Unfortunately, they had just pulled it from the menu. I pivoted to the Al Pastor, and it was solid. Nice flavor, good execution. But here’s my honest take: the tacos are street-sized and priced like fine dining. If you’ve been in the taco game for real— and enjoy Spanish/Latin culture and food— not just riding the “Taco Tuesday” wave—you’ll know what I mean when I say— you’re going to Duo’s for the experience, not the value. The food is authentic, yes. But the pricing— Not so much. It’s A la carte. Which pulls away the true authenticity of Mexican / street tacos. Would I return— Maybe, if I’m in the area. It’s worth visiting once just to say you did.

First, definitely ask for Megan. She had wonderful recommendations and described the food in wonderful detail. Next, the FOOD! Everything we had was fabulous. The tostada is a great introduction to their housemade tortillas and guacamole with a lovely thin slice of Ahi Tuna and sesame. It's extremely fresh and a must try. The chicarrones are also housemade and come out WARM. The berries is wholly indescribable, like a warm hug. It has the perfect amount of bite and smokiness. If you're willing to experience goat, get it here as it showcases all of its strength. Even the side of black beans usually a forgotten accoutrement, was delicious with pickled red onions. The accompanying salsa added heat and enhanced flavor. I did run of tortillas long before I ran out of birria, but that didn't dampen my enjoyment. The kanpachi is good, but the pickled jicama on the side is the real star. You must try the tamal de cacao. The tamal is masa and cocoa with whipped cream infused with corn, it is a corn desert but in the best way possible. Also the aguafresca(hibcusus pineapple) was extremely refreshing. The flavors melded, but it wasn't too sweet.The margaritas were also good, with the perfect ratio of tequila.

Duo’s was my first stop after arriving in PGH, and wow, what a welcome. The photo doesn’t do the food justice, but the flavors of the gringa al pastor were incredible. And the tamal de cacao recommendation? Unreal. Hands down the best first impression of PGH’s food scene.

Definitely go to other Mexican eateries if you’re craving Mexican food. The lunch special sounded nice and to be honest the portion was good, but still wasn’t worth it. The burrito was big but tasted odd and fell apart immediately. Had to eat it with a fork and knife which isn’t what you want from a burrito. It seemed to be missing cheese and for some reason had zucchini randomly in it. I really did not like the burrito and my stomach was upset all day. The lunch special comes with chips and salsa and two churros. I had to remind them about this part ten minutes in. The chips were fine but the salsa wasn’t the best. Actually tasted better dipping the chips in the dulce de leche that came with the churros. The churros were the best part of the meal tbh. So maybe come here if you’re craving churros and can’t find them anywhere else at the hour.

This was my first time here. It wasn’t busy at all. They make orders soon as you come in the door. The atmosphere was welcoming. I had the shrimp taco with cilantro Mexican style and we also got the steak taco and a mango fresco drink. We waited about 15-20 minutes for the food. Which wasn’t bad at all the food was nice and hot.

I’ve been trying to find a good taco in Pittsburgh - and this was fantastic. I love the flavor of every taco I’ve tried here, and the prices are right.

The birria pizza was outstanding the only thing I wish they did was put an additional layer of cheese on top to make it more “pizza” like. It’s basically an expensive quesadilla at this point but it still tasted good. Needed salt but I added some adobo once I got home and it was perfect

I appreciate the late hours this restaurant is open until. As a night owl, I've been here many times. And every time, I have no regrets coming back. The best thing I've had so far is the quesadilla. Although its on the smaller side, it is incredibly good. Their menu isn't very long but this is still a great place to get authentic Mexican food

So so good!!! Everything on the menu is delicious and worth every penny. Prices are reasonable and staff is super friendly!

I heard about how great their food is, so I decided to go for lunch today. Upon arriving I waited at the counter to place my order for a little over 7 minutes while the 3 people working there chatted amongst one another and then finally decided it was time to come over to the counter. Once , I began placing my order the gentleman taking the order decided to try and rush me and became rude in the process because now more people were coming in. I told him exactly what I wanted in my burrito only to get it with everything that I didn't want and I had to eat it with a fork because it wasn't folded properly . When I lifted it to eat it everything came out of the bottom. So, by now I'm irritated although the food was delicious I wouldn't return because of the customer service received on my first and last visit. Since you're a small business you should try and keep the customers you have as well as the new ones coming in. Thanks but no thanks.

The Pinky Beans Taco Truck came to our school as a moral booster and it turned out great! The food was delicious and the students and teachers loved it! Dan Bartow was incredibly helpful and the staff was so kind! Thank you so much for coming to our school!

First time having them at the brick layer festival. Food truck is inviting and has beautiful art and it’s clean inside and outside. Veggie tacos were so good! I just wish they had non dairy cheese. If you see this pink truck around you should definitely stop by. The staff is friendly and the food is good!

I recently had the pleasure of using Cool Beans food truck at my home for a surprise 60th birthday party for my husband. The food, Dan and his staff even the arrival of the truck was amazing. We couldn't have been happier. The neighbors are still talking about it! And my husband was blown away, couldn't wipe the smile off his face! Thanks Dan you were terrific!!

I recently had the pleasure of having the Cool Beans food truck visit my neighborhood. It was an absolute treat for my taste buds! From the moment I arrived at the truck, I knew I was in for something special. I must commend Chef Dan for his outstanding service. Not only was he on time and well-prepared, but his friendly and approachable demeanor made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It's always a pleasure to interact with someone who clearly loves what they do, and Dan's passion for his craft was evident in every taco he served.

Chef Dan always comes to my business with an A+ menu, music jammin’ and gets the lunch party started! We use him several times a year !!

We used Cool Beans Taco Truck for my 50th birthday. They were FANTASTIC! All around they were super. The food was amazing! Chef Dan and his assistant were very personable and helpful. I can't wait to use them again! I would highly recommend them!

Booked Cool Beans for our annual block party. Chef Dan and his team were wonderful. They were prompt, handled the crowd with ease, and the food was AMAZING. Only scheduled to be at our event till 7:30 and stayed well past that to accommodate the people wanting to order more. 100% recommend and plan to book again next year.

Urban Tap is hands down one of the most amazing restaurants we’ve been to in a long time! The food was incredible, and the drinks were so creative and good, especially Mimosas 🍹✨ The girls and I pulled up at 11 AM for a pink-themed brunch yes, even the guys joined in 🤭💖. The greeter hyped us up right away with the sweetest compliments on our outfits, which made the experience feel even more special. I had the classic breakfast, and everything was perfectly cooked and super satisfying. I also got to try bites of the chicken and waffles so crispy and flavorful, paired with a touch of sweetness that just hit right 🔥🧇. The Anglaies French toast? Melted in your mouth. And don’t even get me started on the shrimp and grits creamy, savory, and seasoned just right. One of my coworkers ordered the Brisket omelet, and it looked amazing! Definitely on my list for next time. I’m already planning to go back for more of their creative themed brunches and I can't wait to finally try the dinner menu too! 10/10

Always wanted to come here, finally did. It wasn’t packed at all, just right. It’s welcoming and the atmosphere is great! They have a bar with a nice selection of alcohol and beer. I like the fact that it’s has an open window/door straight at the front of the place. They have big screens TVs everywhere in here. The music was just right cool vibes… I ordered food to go we Fried cheese curds with Shrimp tacos and we also got the donuts holes.

On Friday, March 14, 2025, I had the pleasure of visiting The Urban Tap for dinner with a group of friends. This was my first time dining here, and it certainly left a great impression! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was lively and inviting. The restaurant was buzzing with customers, and the bar area was well-equipped with several large-screen TVs for sports enthusiasts. Despite the crowd, we had a great dining experience. Now, onto the food—absolutely delicious! Every dish served to our group was well-prepared, flavorful, and generously portioned. Some of us even had leftovers to take home. It was evident that the chefs put great care into each meal, ensuring a satisfying experience for everyone. Parking near Carson Street can be tricky, but we were lucky to find a spot on our first go-around. Just a note for future visitors—The Urban Tap does have a dedicated parking lot, but you do have to pay to use it, even after 6 PM. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and I’ll definitely be returning to explore more of their menu. If you’re looking for a spot with great food, a vibrant atmosphere, and a solid selection of drinks, The Urban Tap is worth a visit! Here's a breakdown of what was ordered: 1. Fish Tacos ($16.50) 2. Tuna Tartare Dish ( Tuna & Crispy Rice - $18) 3. Shrimp & Grits ($22) 4. Classic Tap Burger ($15) 6Bacon Onion Jam Burger ($19.50) 5. Burrata Pesto Pasta ($26) 6. Brussels Sprouts ($5 - Side / $14 - Fried Appetizer). 7.Wings ($18) A plate of chicken wings with celery and carrots is also visible. 8. St. Paddy’s Day Specials - The Reuben Mac ($18) and Guinness Pub Burger ($18) The food looks delicious, well-plated, and generously portioned. From classic pub favorites like burgers and fries to more refined options like tuna tartare and pesto pasta, the variety on the menu ensures something for everyone. The drink menu is also extensive, featuring classic cocktails, specialty drinks, and themed St. Paddy’s beverages.

Went for the Summerween themed brunch bc the past few themed brunches were 10/10. Giving 4 stars only because it was 85 degrees & humid outside & they didn’t seem to have tar AC on. It was HOT inside, we were dripping in sweat. But other than that everything was great. The service was awesome & the food was delicious! I ordered the shrimp & grits which was 10/10 I would order it again & again. We also ordered the waffle board which is always a great choice, I’m obsessed with the buttercream on top. Can’t wait for the next themed brunch!

It was our first time dining here. Stopped in for lunch. The menu had a lot to offer & not your regular "bar" food menu. This was some place unique & special. We both had the Grilled Pear Salad. It was delicious and plentiful. We could have split one & been satisfied. They offer craft beers but I'm a traditionalist & opted for a lite beer. The other had a non-alcoholic Mango Mojito. Very tasty.

Urban Tap on the SOUTHSIDE OF PITTSBURGH is a true gem for food lovers. I got the chicken biscuit and it did not disappoint—crispy, flavorful chicken on a perfectly baked biscuit with rich, savory gravy that tied it all together. Easily the best biscuits and gravy I’ve ever had. The staff was polite and engaging, and the vibe was spot-on: cozy, energetic, and inviting. Great spot for brunch or a laid-back night out.

We recently had dinner here to celebrate my future sister-in-law finding her dream wedding dress! We were all so excited because it was a first-visit for everyone + the menu looked 🔥 Unfortunately the room was So loud we could barely hear each other across the table, there were huge flies (looked like horse flies which bite) swarming us throughout the meal, there were many were covering the floor by the windows, and sadly the service left Much to be desired… First off, the drinks menu failed to list Red Bull as a main ingredient in “Shipwrecked,” one of their specialty cocktails and the person who ordered it should not have caffeine due to a medication she’s taking— very dangerous!!! Multiple orders at our table came out wrong and in fact one person in our party had to send back her entree because of an allergy which she explicitly shared about when ordering. To top it all off, the remake wasn’t rushed which meant she didn’t get her food until AFTER everyone else at the table was done eating… not to mention it came out cold. No apology given by the server either who was inattentive at best. I will say: most of the food we had was delicious and the place was decently full of patrons so they’re clearly doing something right… I personally gave the food category a 4-star rating because my entree (the tuna appetizer) was phenomenal! I’ll be dreaming about it for weeks, I’m sure! I’ll close with this: I’m not often one to leave a review for a less than 4 or 5 star experience because I know how Google reviews can impact a business (I’m a small business owner myself), but sometimes honest and constructive feedback leads to positive growth.. 🍀

Had a great time at Mad Mex Shadyside on an absolutely beautiful October day in Pittsburgh. My Apple Cider Margarita was delicious and I'm still thinking about how good it was a week later (which I normally don't do with Margaritas). I was so impressed with my roasted veggie bowl. The sauce on top was delicious and the mixed peppers and brussels went so well with the chicken - which was cooked perfectly. There were some larger brussel sprouts that were a bit hard but the smaller ones were amazing. My husband loved his burrito and it's a great size for the price! Our server was so sweet and attentive. I'm so glad they had the wall open to the outside and could seat us close to the outside. It was perfect!

Mad Mex was great! The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and I especially love the decor. This is a beautiful restaurant and it is so fun. My one note is that the anniversary margarita was very salty for some reason, but the standard margarita that I got afterwards was delicious. This is a perfect Mexican joint with great specials and a wide array of choices to make everyone happy. Will be returning!

We had our dinner here. We took chicken/beef fajita and big burrito. The portions are big enough. Tastes were okay. Sauces were sufficient and service was good. Prices are reasonable.

My waitress Mikayla was amazing & my dinner (Grilled Steak & Street Corn tacos) was delicious! Mikayla was very sweet and brought refills very quickly. This location is often a bit loud but today wasn't bad. I had a birthday coupon so my entree was free, just paid for my drink and tip. Love this place and will be back 😊

Amazing Mexican restaurant, I highly recommend! Delicious food, big portions so the meal will last for 2 meals, guac is very good, great burritos! The waitress was amazing, and the ambience is super cool!

I have loved Mad mex for years but food quality has gone to crap at this one. When questioned why the basics have changed so much they said oh we are a test kitchen. I am adding pictures the sad looking chicken tenders are from this mad mex the other is the mad Mex by airport that was fantastic!! Highly disappointed. When the staff came out said oh all others are the same we aren’t. So they lack the quality that the other ones have. They offered to change dishes but waitress was MIA most of time never refilled drinks. Finally gave up and left wishing we would have drive to the other one.

Combined, we have traveled to about 100 countries, and we agreed: the gobblerito is the best culinary invention our Mother Earth has to offer!

Didn't get food just some drinks. However, the bartender was great. Very knowledgeable on the various tequilas. The restaurant is located in the basement on Penn Ave across from PNC Bank. It's a very relaxing and cool atmosphere.

Definitely a great place to go for brunch on Sunday! Was not crowded and the food was excellent. The tortillas are as fresh as can be since they are made upstairs at Reyna Foods as well as the salsas! And you can't beat a sampler of 4 salsas and chips for $5!!! The breakfast tacos were filling and had just enough heat for me, I'm a wimp.

Liked so much!! Tasty traditionally Mexican food with a lot of delicious souses and hot tequila. Unique atmosphere, friendly staff. Will visit one more time.

Super authentic Mexican place.(Go downstairs) 140 tequilas, just leave me there! Easily the BEST margaritas in town(hand squized citrus), or anywhere! Oscar is the man! I will be back-several times.

Stop at the outdoor stand on the weekend for a quick treat, but make sure you experience the full menu at some point. They have several styles of tacos, and you need to try them all.

Delicious food and very friendly staff. My husband and I sat at the bar and shared a pitcher of their house margarita, guacamole, 2 tacos, and a flan. Everything was fresh and incredibly flavorful, even if the margarita was a bit weak. Definitely recomend.

Seating either ground level outside (covered) or downstairs under the grocery store. No matter, the food is on point and top shelf Margs. Wide array of homemade salsas and dips. Table side guac of you like, too. Fantastic corn tortillas, homemade too.

This restaurant has really fresh fish & seafood, great service, beautiful plating and we love the concept of the fishshop next to the restaurant. The self serve soups that you can try out were very nice too. We wanted to give this restaurant a 5 but there were a couple of dishes that were a bit of a letdown even though the produce was fresh. The dishes we loved were the benny roll, the seared ahi tuna, the grilled octopus & the fresh raw oysters. The unagi nigiri was subpar, and the spicy yellow tail roll was good but not great. The biggest letdown unfortunately was the main, which was the blackened snapper. Snapper portions were quite small for the price, underseasoned and could be better spiced, and dried out. Luckily the fish was fresh and so it was still edible. The asparagus & seaweed salad that came with were tasty, but the sauces we didn’t enjoy. We would definitely want to return to this spot if ever in Pittsburgh again to try out other things!

I give Pittsburgh a hard time for its (let’s be honest) underwhelming food scene, especially coming from someone who’s lived in a big city like Chicago her whole life and spent plenty of time eating my way through NYC, LA, and Vegas. My two years living here were rough in the culinary department… but leave it to me to move out of Pittsburgh before discovering its hidden gem: Penn Ave Fish Co. I was back in town for an appointment and to catch up with a close friend and finally tried this place and WOW. Easily the best meal I’ve had in Pittsburgh by far. The sushi, oysters, and seafood overall were the freshest I’ve found in the area (and most affordable on top of that). They don’t serve alcohol, but the staff went out of their way to let me know it was BYOB (I had no idea) and even helped direct us to the nearest liquor store so we could grab a bottle of wine to enjoy on the patio. Huge bonus: they brought out smoked salmon for our pups, totally on the house 🐾💛 We might’ve overstayed our welcome (they closed at 4 and we didn’t head out till about 4:30), but the staff was beyond kind. They never rushed us, just let us enjoy the food and the moment. Next time I’m in Pittsburgh, Penn Ave Fish Co is without a doubt where I’ll be spending my time. A true standout in a city that really needs one.

A foodie’s very satisfactory, Bona Fide exclusively fish/shellfish eatery in Pittsburgh 😎. NO MAMMALIAN NOR AVIAN foods here… None of those highly processed plant-based foods either 👍👍👍👍👍. +++ A draw to this place is also a market of a SELECT variety of fish and shellfish, which are cleaned/cut according to instructions of the customer👏👏👏… YES fish is fresh.. the very transparent fish eyes👀 prove it. The eatery itself is SELF-SERVICE, food ordered at the counter by the entrance. The ambience is quite pleasant 😎. The menu, printed on chalk boards, is mainly sandwich and “raw fish”, with a few cooked fish/shellfish.—- They are on pricey side! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 The fish soup counter is quite surprising. The MOST NOVEL is the Chili with a pescatarian twist. 🤩 The “sashimi” plate is very good… —— EXCEPT for that fake crab that should NEVER EVER be served calling it sashimi😡😡😡😡😡. —- This, quite frankly, is a culinary slur whether it’s American or Japanese raw fish eatery. 🫤😡🫤😡🫤 Seeing the “sushi rolls” served to the adjoining table, I can say, it’s not what I would order here: Too thick layers of rice and they are drowned in sauces. — Real sushi is simple, clean and fresh! None of those sauces that hide the flavor of fish. … I for one want my palate distinguish between tuna, salmon, eel or whatever! — BTW there is no such thing as vegan or vegetable sushi. It is ALWAYS fish. 😊 The Salad Bowl is very good, fresh cuts of vegetables, not from bag like so many other places. - The option of adding cooked fish or shellfish is a good touch BUT the sizes of it, is NOT worth $15 extra. Because it is a self-serve eatery, the wait staff simply bring the food and take away emptied plates.

super casual experience- you order at the window, self serve your drink and soup choices. They bring your order to your table and you pay after. I did ask if the blue crab soup was a bisque.... it wasn't, it was pasta e fagole, so i went for clam chowder instead (I'm not a soup person unless it's a cream base cause I'm weird.) The clam chowder was good. Big chunks of celery that i could easily pick out, thankfully. The sushi "lollipops" were delicious. I could eat a dozen of those things... but it was a perfect light lunch. this place had so much charm, and tons of options. thanks!!

I had quite a delightful lunch here. The sushi was very good and I also got a swordfish sandwich which was very good. There's a water station which is very convenient. The sushi chefs are very friendly. I will definitely be coming here again!

AMAZING Resturant for seafood with plenty of options. Staff were super friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Our favorite was the grilled salmon and seared tuna. Salmon 🍣 sushi was good So was the California roll Oysters were fresh 👍🏼 Will definitely be back.

Pleasant surprise in the strip. Easy going atmosphere a wide selection of fish based meals. The sandwich selection features new looks at time honored fish sandwiches. I had the teriyaki glazed tuna sandwich served with slaw. Seared to perfection and moist yet firm. Tremendous flavour and texture. There were three choices for bowls: chili, gumbo and shrimp/scallop bisque. The bisque was very good. Prices were very reasonable and service is fast. Highly recommend.

I’ve been here multiple times before. On this occasion we came for a friend’s birthday dinner, and it was a mediocre experience. There were 8 of us and we were seated at a table that sat 6 comfortably max. The drinks were decent, but the tacos are overpriced and never come out hot. I had the chorizo, which was fine but came without the potato. Some of my friends’ orders came out incorrect, which typically wouldn’t be a big deal but in this case was an allergy, and the food runner argued with him instead. Then the server blamed the mistakes on the kitchen, not a good look. The esquites were the only highlight of the meal. All in all, a good place for drinks and get your tacos elsewhere.

Guac could use salt and lime but portions were very big! Yummy vegetarian option for the setan tacos. They should bring out plates for sharing the guac but overall nice atmosphere and decent food.

We were there yesterday for Valentine’s Day dinner and the food was excellent. They have so many vegan / vegetarian options which was helpful. I loved everything I ordered but especially their vegan chorizo taco. Love the lime kick in it. It was truly love at first bite. The waitron was very sweet and checked on us only when needed unlike many places where they keep intruding. Loved the atmosphere too!

I love round corner now Esquina is an amazing restaurant. I have been here many times and love how many vegetarian and vegan options they have on the menu that are delicious and not just salad and French fries.

I enjoyed the food, and the place had a fun, unique vibe. My only comment is that it felt a little overpriced for what you get.

The waiter was pushy and unwelcoming. The enchiladas were extremely bland, but tacos were ok. The outdoor area is nice if it wasn’t for the poor attitude of the waiter.

Esquina Cantina is inside the historic Round Corner Hotel and Bar building. My husband and I ate one meal on their outdoor patio. Our waiter made a couple of mistakes but corrected them. We really liked our guacamole, tostadas, quesadilla, beans, rice, and non-alcoholic drink. The tacos had excellent tortillas, but my husband did not like the carne-asada meat.

Chicken Latino, an authentic Peruvian restaurant located on Broadway Avenue in Beechview, serves contemporary Peruvian cuisine inspired by a fusion of flavors from around the world. Chef, owner, and manager Shelbin Santos is the sweetest woman and incredibly talented in the kitchen. She even imported a special wood-fired brick oven from Peru, allowing her to cook signature dishes in a truly authentic Peruvian style. The food is absolutely fantastic! While there, I had the chance to try a variety of dishes. To start, we quenched our thirst with traditional Peruvian Inka Cola, a popular and delicious fruity drink with hints of coconut, banana, and pineapple—refreshing and unique! We also tried chicha morada, a traditional and healthy purple corn juice that is both sweet and flavorful. As we browsed the incredible menu, we snacked on warm, freshly made corn tortilla chips with salsa—an irresistible start! For the main dishes, the lomo saltado was a standout. This traditional Peruvian-Asian beef stir fry, served with white rice over fries, was bursting with flavor. The chicken quesadilla was massive—a 12" tortilla stuffed with chicken, rice, beans, and Mexican cheese, served with sour cream and salsa. It was the biggest, cheesiest, most satisfying quesadilla I’ve ever had! One of the highlights of the meal was the Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken, a staple of their menu. The chicken is marinated overnight in their secret seasonings and roasted to perfection in the authentic brick oven. Served with house-made spicy green chili sauce, it was juicy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Their green chili sauce is so fresh and tasty that they even sell it by the bottle! We ordered the rotisserie chicken combo, which allowed us to sample some of their signature sides—rice and beans, plantains, and yuca—all incredibly fresh and well-prepared. Their burritos are also huge, with various filling options. I opted for chicken, which was stuffed inside a soft tortilla with rice, beans, and Mexican cheese—all for under $10! Talk about a steal! To top it all off, I was surprised with a slice of their tres leches cake, a rich and moist three-milk cake topped with caramel and strawberries. It was the perfect sweet ending to an incredible meal. If you're looking for authentic Peruvian flavors, generous portions, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, Chicken Latino is a must-visit!

Can't believe I haven't been here before, this place is just absolutely delicious with food that you can't get as good in Pittsburgh! The seating area is very colorful and fun and in a cool area of Beachview, staff is extremely kind and service was top notch. Everything was delectable and I'm so stuffed and I payed barely any thing for how much food I was given!!! Cant recommend enough.

The food was delicious, with an authentic Peruvian flavor and excellent seasoning. I'll be back to try more dishes. I recommend the passion fruit drink and fried yucca. The waiter, Erik, was very kind to us.

I had a fried burrito and it was tasty. Not off the charts or anything, but it was good and well priced. It was just shredded chicken and cheese served with small containers of guacamole, salsa and sour cream. The service was wonderful, I'm confused about the one star reviews regarding the service. Our waitress was very kind and attentive.

Please go here. This is some of the best food I’ve ever had. The amount of food you get for the price is amazing. Almost everything is made in house. You can taste the passion going into each dish. I love the chicken quesadilla here or the chicken burrito. The plantains are to die for!

They catered for an event of ours, and they were quick to respond and early for delivery. They called the day before to ensure all the details and everything was correct. We got chicken, fried yuka and sweet plantains for our catered lunch; it was a hit! Everyone loved the food!

The pork and chicken quesadillas were packed with flavor—tender meat, perfectly grilled, and loaded with melted cheese inside a crispy tortilla. The real star was the green salsa—creamy, zesty, and just the right amount of heat. Paired with an ice-cold Inca Kola, the whole meal was a delicious blend of savory and sweet. Highly recommend for a satisfying, flavorful bite!

NOT A MOES! Don’t be fooled, you have to order on a screen and when you see your food you have not half of what you ordered. We specifically asked how to ask for extra rice in both and it doesn’t have extra rice. There is zero pico on both which asked for double. No cilantro. I’m pissed at this place. Super weird and horrible vibe and I literally paid for not half what you get at ANY other real moes where you can see them doing it in front of you and ask for more or less. They rate it on 1 up I guess so by default u get 1/10th of a portion. What a complete rip off of a business model. Shut this place down because it’s an absolutely disgusting disgraceful embarrassment, and it is not a Moes I don’t care what the sign says. Completed rip off.

First of all, the to go counter was locked so I had to talk inside. About half of the time I go here the to go counter is closed. I opened the door and there is a massive line of people waiting. After fishing my way through the crowd, I go to the counter pick up my food. I try and leave through the exit door but it just leads to a patio that's completely closed off. That has to be a fire hazard because the door clearly says exit. So I had to go back inside fight through the crowd again to leave. All of this just to get back to my desk and find a tiny amount of food. I got a salad but they forgot the LETTUCE. This place is trash.

I've been buying lunch here for a couple of years now, and the food used to be consistently good. However, over my last three visits, the quality has noticeably declined—especially the rice. It’s been undercooked each time, leaving it crunchy and half-done. I initially thought it was a one-off issue, but the same problem persisted on my next two visits

Order a burrito at the kiosk and you would think since it’s written down it would be easy to make but no. I asked for no beans and ended up gettIng damn near extra beans tried to give me another burrito hut no I just want a refund. Everytime I order from moes my order is either incorrect or cold. Couldn’t even scrap them out

I ate there a few days ago and the 1st guy taking my order was mumbling, only saying half of his words and got mad when i askrd him "excuse me, i can't hear you?" Horrible attitude and he "huffed" because he had to take an order. He did it to the guy in gront of me too. I guess that should of been the red flag that made me just turn around and leave and never come back. The Rice was undercooked like it was leftover from yesterday. He barely put in any of the halfcooked chicken in there, it was all rice, which as i look back i'm thankful for now. The 2nd girl tried to rush me through and "huffed" too when i asked for the toppings, like it was an inconvenience for her to do her job or give me what i paid for. Then she yelled "move on down." 3rd girl, took cash from the guy in front of me, then went over and was touching food without washing her hands or even putting gloves on. Then, was talking personel stuff to her coworker for a minute before deciding to get back to work. As she got to me she, "huffed" too. "Is that it?" Threw the burrito in the bag like she was mad. The chips were all scraps, tiny broke up pieces that were days old. Then, at the card reader, this place has the nerve to automatically go right to leaving a tip? It took a second to figure out how to say 0 tip. And i always tip, but refuse to when they treat the customers like crap. But i will give them 1 tip, get a new personality and attitide. Your restaurant needs to fire that crew. Disgrace to your place. The place was trashed. Food was horrible. Queso tasted like it was burnt. I learned my lesson though, if the 1st person who is supposed to greet you and start your order is shitty, just walk away because it will only get worse. 2 different tables were complaining about their food as i sit there watching the 3 workers do the same thing to other customers, so i didn't take it personally. Nor did i take it back to complain because they were rude the 1st time through, so calling them out would have just caused a scene. I won't ever eat there again. I'm glad i didn't get food poisoning. Sounds like this is a common thing reading these reviews.

Great staff. I felt though the rice and beans were undercooked but it might be just the day I visited.

This is such a a gross Moe's compared to the ones down in Florida and I forgot that places in Pittsburgh require a code for the bathroom 😭 I mean you could make sure your bathrooms and pristine if you are gonna require people pay first. That's another thing, you can't aquire the code before purchasing your meal and I sure as heck wouldn't want to leave my food next to random customers while I pee before eating LOL.

Good place to eat after going up the incline. Food was good, service was good, prices were normal for these days. The rueben was good and was a large sandwich. The tacos came with three generously sized tacos. The nachos were good and the pork fries were good. I would give the food above average. Portions were excellent. When you're done eating you can enjoy the view across the road at the observation deck.

Food was very disappointing. The grilled cheese lux was more bread than cheese and slightly cold. There was nothing “luxurious” with that meal. The pizza tasted like a frozen store bought pizza. We also had a burger with fries, that was the only good meal that we ordered.

Me and my fiancé went out for date night up to Mount Washington. I had this place on my bucket list to come We had few drinks and something small to eat. We like the open doors. It did rain but was nice and refreshing. We had the smokehouse fries. I also had kicking mule and espresso martini and my fiancé had two peach cobbler martinis. The bartender working Saturday night was extremely friendly. We will be returning. There is a parking lot behind and it’s not horrible price to park. $12 bucks but I think it worth it.

This was a fantastic find! Sat outside, fantastic weather (3 Aug). Waitress did fantastic job (Raiin)! Had blueberry cobbler sour/hazy IPA/espresso martini. Food was the jackfruit tacos and cauliflower sliders... All very yummy. The music was right-on target, and a perfect volume (enjoyable, but still able to talk in a normal voice... Thanks!) We could see making this a hangout, if we did not live 500 miles away!

I had a Blue Inferno Burger which was pretty good. Nice and spicy. My wife had a Grilled Cheese Lux which was mostly bread and very little cheese. I mean it's a grilled cheese sandwich. Shouldn't the cheese stand out a bit? I saw another review that said there was very little cheese as well so this is not the exception. I also found it odd that they chose to serve our entrees on what I would consider a dessert plate rather than a dinner plate. Maybe they were short on plates that night. It was kind of cramped and I had to move everything around to make room for some ketchup on my plate.

Stopped in after the incline ride! Nice place and the bartender was very nice and helpful. Salads were good and the wings were hot and fresh!

The place was wonderful! The cafe is very clean, not dirty, the food was very tasty (although the burger was almost not salty, but for me it was a plus), the employees are kind, not in a hurry. I came here with my family (it is unlikely that we will be there again because we live in another state) I love this place! It may look like a bar, but it's a cute cafe ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We got the combination where you got two tacos and chips and salsa. The chips with the roasted tomato salsa was really good but didn't like the queso. She got the shrimp pipian which was pretty good and she got the mahi which I didn't like as much. I ordered the barbacoa flower and that was pretty good but the carne asada one wasn't real good how's the meat was a little tough. Was a little expensive for tacos

Although there weren’t a lot of people, the service was some of the best I’ve ever had in a long time in Pittsburgh. Our server was kind, courteous and on top of any and all of our needs. The food was exceptional. Some of the best tacos I’ve ever had, delicious salsa, the chips were amazing. The hot sauce was some of the best that I’ve had since visiting Costa Rica many years ago.

The black bean and queso dips are totally tasteless. The queso didn’t even seem like cheese—it was a just a white glob—even salt didn’t help. The verde was good. I’ve had the carrot tacos here and margs and they’re pretty good. But this restaurant could definitely use some help in crafting better recipes.

The raspberry margarita is awesome. I think it's a special for just what brief period of time. The tacos and dipping sauces are great. Highly recommend!

** Update ** 🌮 Taco Tuesday Highlight 🌮 I am very pleased to continue giving Gordo's an all around 5 🌟 review. We visited on Tuesday night for Taco Tuesday. At Gordo's the tacos are priced individually and on Tuesdays they are offered at $2 off. Gordo's makes great craft cocktails. I had the Spiked Horchata and my Mom had a Tequila Sunrise. Both were really good. We tried the Taquitos appetizer and they were delicious. For our tacos, we each had three, five different "flavors". Every one was delicious. The Shrimp Pipian and Chicken Verde Mole -these two were the most traditionally Mexican in flavor and style. The Nashville Hot Chicken Taco is a fan favorite and style expertly seasoned and prepared. My Mom really enjoyed the Chorizo and Potato Taco. And our surprise favorite was the flavor-bomb, Roasted Carrot Taco. It is just jam packed with smoky, sweet flavor. It's such a a delicious bite. A visit here is not complete without the excellent Churrolis to cap off the meal. I definitely recommend a visit to Gordo's. ** Original Review ** Gordo's is great! Let me preface this review by saying I love Nashville Hot Chicken but outside of Nashville, TN is has been difficult to find a "hot" chicken that compares to what I've had in Tennessee. Some other places around the Burgh have Nashville Hot Chicken but the spice combinations don't work. At Gordo's the Nashville Hot Chicken Taco is so good with a perfect spice blend. It tastes like hot chicken tacos that I had at Pie Town Tacos in Nashville. Gordo's is the place in Pittsburgh to satisfy your hot chicken craving. Not to mention, their other menu items are delicious too. And they have great margs. My second favorite menu item is the Churoli- A churro and cannoli hybrid that rocks!

Absolutely delicious! This Mexican restaurant exceeded all expectations! The Mexican Cesar salad was to die for, the guacamole was super fresh, and the margaritas were perfectly balanced. The staff was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere was fun and lively. Definitely coming back—this place is a gem!

Delicious food. Great service. Amazing views of the city.

Great Mexican bowl! Sour cream, grilled steak, cheese, salsa are great! However, there's a bug on the lettuce

It’s obvious they’re hurting for staff for a number of reasons. I live nearby and it’s always different people. The trash bins are always full and dining room always dirty. The line areas (both) look incredibly messy. Last week I placed an online order and when I got there at the time it was supposed to be ready it was not. No big deal, so she made my bowl very quickly. She gave me a large container of Guac and said she was out of little containers but that she just doesn’t care. Now, as much as I love free guacamole I don’t love to hear from people handling my food that they don’t care about the restaurant and presumably my food they’re handling. The rice in that bowl was chunky and the guac tasted off. I didn’t eat my order because it was really awful. I appreciate the girl giving me extra guac but telling customers you don’t care about the food you’re serving them is a big turn off. I probably won’t ever return here. It’s a shame because I live super close and I would love to be able to eat there more often. Sadly this chipotle seems like every one I have been to in the last few years. This whole chain has gone WAY DOWN HILL.

I went for lunch one day right around 11:30 am so it was clean and only one table was occupied, no line for food. The woman who made my bowl was so friendly and did a great job and complimented her coworker on how good her steak is which I thought was kind of sweet.And she was right, it was delicious! I've been to a lot of Chipotles and this is my favorite. I recommend going early if you can because the food is fresh, hot, and plentiful.

Like maybe serve a bit less? Ordered from Uber eats because the Chipotle app doesn't allow to change where to deliver from. Understandable to pay extra fees, but this is the smallest portion I had ever been served and they missed two toppings, thank you.

This is the worst Chipotle I’ve ever been to. My partner ordered three tacos that were half empty, and the sour cream they put on them was liquid. I “had” a chicken bowl that I didn’t finish because of how cold and & rubbery the chicken was. I also ordered a bag of chips (they were too hard) with queso blanco (which honestly was the only thing that was good). Overall, the price was ridiculous for what we got. And most tables were dirty & greasy. I’ll never go back to this location. Especially having Emiliano’s less than 1min from there.

BARELY gave me any chicken. or anything else. then said it was because i didn’t order that much. should’ve never came here

Don’t order take out from this location. They’re extremely careless and lazy with to go orders. This is how my tacos came. I only moved one to the right to show how the sour cream was just thrown on the container. Chicken, rice, lettuce and cheese are spilled all on the sides instead of in the tacos. This has happened several times with tacos to burrito bowls. Several times my order was thrown together, sloppy and poorly made. Doesn’t make it better that some of the staff here are rude and unprofessional. I’ll take the extra commute to the Centre Ave location going forward.

Came here today with my friends and our server Brad was on point! He was very attentive, came to check on us, and recommended some good drinks to us! The food was very delicious and the portion size was huge - I loved the shrimp ceviche especially because it came with plantain chips instead of traditional tortilla chips! The restaurant has a very intimate vibe to it and everyone was friendly. P.S. ABSOLUTELY get the fried ice cream! My friends loved their salad, soups, and fajitas and we all agreed to come back!

This is my 2nd time here. First time was a year ago. Both times were take out orders. First time I went food was amazing. This time we just ordered 2 chicken quesadillas. By time we went to pick up our order it was already 5 min past the time they said it will be ready. We sat there for almost 30 min due to them saying they had a catering order to get out. Mind you there were only 6 other customers there. While waiting they didn't offer any chips since we had to wait. Once we got our food, drove 5 min to get home just for my chicken quesadilla to look and taste how it looks. Never in my life have I had a soggy quesadilla, not even from Taco Bell. I'm so disappointed in the lack of quality they gave us. When have you ever been ble to stick a fork in a well prepared quesadilla.

Small little hole in the wall restaurant in Penn Avenue. It's pretty cute on the inside. I sat at the bar and we were served pretty quickly. The bartender was very nice. I ordered the Fajita Trio with Steak, Shrimp and Chicken. The beans were watery and the rice was bland and hard. I will say that the steak was a decent flavor as well as the peppers and onions. For a quick bite it wasnt bad but I do prefer other places to this one.

Best fajitas in Pittsburgh! I struggled to find good fajitas in Pittsburgh for the longest time and am so happy to have found El Sabor. Their Pastor tacos, street corn and yucca fries are also some of my other favorites. Always a great atmosphere and Staff is super friendly.

Dropped into El Sabor while visiting Pittsburgh—wanted to see how their tacos stacked up. For the area, they’re decent. Nothing groundbreaking, but they hold their own. I went with the chorizo. It was well-balanced, not greasy, and had a nice flavor. The drinks were just okay. The service was good and the vibe was chill enough for a casual bite. If you’re in the neighborhood and craving Mexican, El Sabor’s a solid option—but not something I’d go out of my way for.

Good place for friends to hang out. Wide selection of food and alcohol. Very good flavor. They have a mix of a lot of Latin American food — Mexican, Brazilian. It is not like your typical cheap Mexican place where you order at a cheap price and get a lot, but it was a decent and flavorful meal for me. The waitress was friendly too. The only thing I need to complain is the place is noisy, so do not treat your granny or colleagues here.

Had dinner for the first time about 2 months ago with my son and daughter-in-law, who frequent the restaurant. I wanted to treat them to dinner to celebrate before my granddaughter was born. The service was great and the food amazing. Also prices are very reasonable for the quality of food you get. Tonight my son picked up our order to go and yet again El Sabor did not disappoint. The food was amazing and I am in a Mexican food coma right now. I got the dinner combo. I would have never imagined I would try sweet plantains let alone really enjoy them. Your street corn is really good, as is your chili rellano and enchilada. Thank you for the excellent service. You are a new favorite for me.

Great place for pleasant dinner. Reasonable prices for good quality food. Outside seating, pet and children friendly. Wait servers professional and helpful. We were surprised to see a robot helping with serving food but we had human assistance.

It's good, fish taco was great. The Tako was a little hard to eat, maybe smaller octopus pieces or segmented. Pricey but very fresh. Esquites had good flavor, but on the menu says "off the cob" yet it was served on the cob. No big, more traditional, would've liked the cilantro garnish to be picked off the stems to make the garnish more functional without having the customer do the work. Nonetheless it was tasty. Queso dip was a hit, had almost like a beer cheese flavor and consistency.

We had the most wonderful time here. It felt like an art museum! The food and drinks were delicious and it was mostly self-service which was also great! There were so many unique and beautiful places within the restaurant. Highly recommend!

If I'm going to pay over $5 for a single taco, I would pay it here. Inventive, tasty, and overall decent. If I still consumed alcohol, I would be more excited about the plethora of fruity cocktail options too 🤗 Soft shell taco shells tasted deep fried... Prefer if they weren't but it's definitely a cute spot to stop by for drinks with a friend. Decor is colorful & photo opp friendly

Cool atmosphere with a nice outdoor and indoor space. Service at the bar was nice. It isn't full service. After we ordered at the bar, we picked up the food at the pickup window. The menu is all online, which I don't mind, actually prefer. The food was good, and we were full, but the price was a bit of a shock for not having full service. We ended up spending around 70 dollars for 2 drinks, an app, and two entrees. Overall, we liked the place and would rate it higher if it wasn't so pricey. Might try to check out their happy hour sometime.

If you know their downtown PGH location, then the one in Bakery Square is going to be a massive disappointment. There's virtually zero service. You go up to the counter and order, you pick up your food after you get a text message that it's ready, you eat, and then you bring away your tray and clean up your table. Yet they turn around their tablet at checkout and expect you to tip 20%. The food was good but cold. It does not merit the $65 we spent there for a dinner for two people (two taco dishes, one starter, two drinks). The drinks and the overall atmosphere in the place were good, the interior is nice. That alone does not save it for me, I won't be coming back. You're way better off going to the Galley at Bakery Square or any other place nearby.

This is an interesting restaurant. First of all, they have indoor and outdoor seating, and a bar. The atmosphere is very chill and relaxing. They serve your food in a different way - you order at the cash register, they give you a number, they make your food and put it at a shelf, and you would pick up the food at the numbered shelf that was given to you. The food was not bad, it has a very interesting blend of food that I haven't tried before. I just wish I get more food that i received for the price that I paid. You get such a small plate of food and it's not filling!

Good place for a vegan to get their Mexican fix—quite a few vegan options. (Check out their menu on their website, because it’s more extensive than the menu inside the restaurant.) I was into the small-town-on-the-Mexican-border vibe. Minor constructive feedback: Boyfriend and I thought the hot sauce tasted like weak tomato water

Went with a friend for lunch and I got the chorizo burrito ($10.99). Service was really fast for the food coming out, and the burrito was good too. Place has got a whole vibe going on inside and I can tell this is one of the "hip" spots in the neighborhood.

A nice place to get some food and drink. We went for a Paws Across Pittsburgh event as they were supporting them by getting donations. A donation got you a drink ticket. They had a DJ, tequila tastings, and a raffle basket too. The margarita was delicious and so were the nachos. My husband got the burrito and it definitely could have been spiced more but I understand why it's not.

I got a California burrito and my friend got chilaquiles and they were pretty good. We dropped our take out bag, thats why the chiaquiles look like that. They also have micheladas on the menu, which is not something I see often in the United States.

I personally don’t eat out really, so I’m very picky when going somewhere. El Burro gets a lot of positive word by mouth reviews and I went for the first time. It was amazing/fresh! Service was great and the owner, Wes, is doing a great job. Definitely support this local small business and enjoy great Mexican food. You can sit inside or outside on the patio!

This is a very cute spot on the Regent Square high street. I'd give it a 4.5 if I could. They have a nice patio out back and serve some of the best taquitos I've ever had. However their menu isn't super diverse and it still can't quite break through the upper bounds to qualify as "great Mexican food." I'd stop here for lunch on a sunny day and chill on the patio.

A great little Mexican restaurant! And they've got a nice little covered patio in the back! If it's not too hot, it's very nice to eat out there. And you can make almost anything vegetarian! The veggie churizo is great and can be easily subsituted in for the meat!

First upon walking in the restaurant was quaint and small but pretty well managed. The server was friendly and attentive as well. The food at this restaurant was pretty decent. The chicken had a decent flavor and depending on the item from the menu you got a great portion size. The soups are a huge portion and really good tasting as well. I got the chicken fajitas this is where I said the chicken tastes really good but the portions aren't that big. I also got a pineapple strawberry margarita. It was so good and they put fresh fruit in it as well! So yummy and worth the price!

Caution: Enter at Your Own Risk This place serves food with the same energy as a DMV on a Monday morning—cold, lifeless, and soul-crushing. The entrée arrived colder than my ex’s heart, and the dip was the temperature of a sad bath that’s been sitting out since 2003. As for the drinks? Imagine licking a battery soaked in discount sour mix. Yum, right? The service? Oh, it was slow… not “busy restaurant” slow—more like “they forgot we existed and maybe hoped we’d leave” slow. By the time we got our food, I had seen the stages of grief twice. If you’re looking for a waste of time, money, and hope, congrats—you’ve found it. If not, do yourself a favor: set your money on fire instead. At least it’ll be warm, unlike the meal. If disappointment were a restaurant, this would be its flagship location!

Super cute little place with delicious food and friendly service. The covered outdoor patio was really nice. We were disappointed that they didn't have any of the specialty taco meats available, but we will definitely come back to try again. Everything we did have was delicious, and there were unique menu items that I haven't seen around here much.

Very, very good Mexican spot. Everything I had from this place was very tasty. I wanted to try quite a variety of items from this spot, including the quesadilla, platanos Fritos, and the tres leches. Every single thing I had was very good. To start, the main meal, the quesadilla, was quite filling. They served it with complimentary rice. The rice was surprisingly flavorful, and had a great soft texture. The quesadilla itself was also quite good, filled with a nice amount of cheese. Simple but tasty. The platanos Fritos were also excellent. The plantains themselves were sweet and soft. Almost worthy of being a dessert. The cheese they had on top was a bit unnecessary in my opinion, as it was stringy and tasted a bit like plastic. But still, very good overall. The tres leches was an excellent dessert to end off the night. So creamy, fluffy, and perfectly sweet. They definitely do not hold back on the whipped cream here (which was a tad excessive). All in all, a very nice Mexican spot. I would definitely come again. Enjoyed everything I had.

Btosk is a weekly must go to for my wife and I. Weve been coming for almost year and Im not sure why I havent left a review sooner. We love everything about it! Great service, amazing food, and the BEST BEST BEST Margaritas in Pittsburgh. They muddle them with fresh fruit!!! I cant say enough good things about you Btosk. Heres to another year! Pineapple Margarita with Tajin in photo.

I finally found a good Mexican restaurant in Pittsburgh! The food tastes authentic and fresh. I enjoyed trying grilled cactus for the first time too. Highly recommend this restaurant especially if you can sit outside in the back patio.

I wanted to like this place as I had seen so many good mentions in one of FB groups. When my food came it was cold. I think they spent more time on my boyfriend’s dish and let mine sit. We went at about 5:00 and hardly no one was in there. My bf did say his sandwich was good and he tried my cold dish and said it tasted good. I won’t go back.

This is a great 3.5 star place. Standard mexican fare, consistent, and always enjoyable for almost everyone. Vibe is lively and fun. Service is always great. Food is standard mexican for American but always nice and good. I always enjoy it. While it’s not blow your mind or super creative, that’s not an issue and not the point. Prices are fine if not a bit more expensive. What isn’t though I think patrons is a classic staple - what you expect, what you like. It’s like a great average. I often go, and I am always satisfied.

I stopped by for lunch with my family. Our waiter was very nice. The music was nice. We all got something different, I got an enchilada. I was not a huge fan. The sauce tasted like it just sat in a can, I didn’t even eat it. They did take it off my tab which I was grateful for. The fajitas were very good. The steak tacos were very good. My mom got the chimichangas and she really loved them. The rice was extremely flavorful. I would go back for the rice alone. I’m also a huge fan of the lunch prices. I’ll be back for sure.

Food is decent but I enjoy the atmosphere and the service staff a lot more. The steak that I got was great piece and the shrimp is a big size. One thing I would recommend to improve on is the tostados. The shell is slightly soggy because all the juices are absorbed, making it harder to eat by hand.

We were here strictly for the “Margrona” on the rocks and it was so cute and tasty! 🍸 Complimentary warm chips and Salsa are served here! Bartender was awesome. 👍🏽 We have eaten here before as well and we have enjoyed the all items we’ve tried. The walls are covered with bright and colorful artwork and neat decor throughout this venue. Very inviting. Not bad for a small Pittsburgh chain. We enjoyed our mini visit.

Took me to go find someone to wait on me at the bar. Then I wanted my check, I got my check, I placed my credit card in the sleeve and it took them over 10 minutes to process my credit card. Every time I come to Pittsburgh, I come here however the service here sucks. Food is great here, service sucks!

My favorite Mexican restaurant in the burgh! Food is so good and that Cajun queso dip is fire! Service is always top notch and I'm never disappointed, lots of seating in a nice cool atmosphere as well

Great service! Prices I thought at first were a little high until I saw the plates and realized its about 2 dinners worth per dish. The salsa was so fresh, nothing like the canned chunky stuff. It had a nice kick to it. Will definitely come back, probably with a larger appetite!

I really quite enjoyed this place. They sell donuts on the weekends in addition to their regular Mexican offerings, and I am so glad I decided to come on a weekend. I tried out their glazed donut holes, glazed donut, and Mac n cheese. Very simple, but done so well. The Mac n cheese was very tasty. It has flavorful breadcrumbs on top with tons of cheesy, creamy sauce all inside. It might be a bit too rich and creamy for my taste, but it’s still very enjoyable. The only real down side is that it is quite expensive for Mac n cheese, even with the very nice portion. Both of the donuts were absolutely excellent. Again, so glad I went on the weekend. The glazed donut, although again a bit expensive, it was delicious. Definitely homemade. Soft on the inside and perfect glaze. The donut holes were equally delicious; a lovely bite sized treat, soft and flavorful. I thought it was very good overall. A bit pricey, but I still recommend this place for sure.

Stopped in for a quick bite during the during the day so I had the place to myself lol. They were friendly and pretty quick. I happened to be there during happy hour and had their house margarita and steak tacos. It was all perfect full of flavor not lacking at all. Tacos were small but this was expected and explained prior to ordering. I will be returning forsure. My server did ask if I had any dietary restrictions was really nice.

Came here with a group of friends as a group of 5. The decor was really cute and created a nice atmosphere. The restaurant even conveniently lets you order through square and you pay when you order, including tip. That’s a great business model for a restaurant that doesn’t provide you food for 40 minutes. The restaurant was empty when we got here. There’s really no excuse for SMOKE to have taken so long with the food. Drinks were prompt and came minutes after our order. The food was extremely salty and the regular tacos looked like burritos and only had meat in them. The special tacos had other toppings in them which was more worth it. This restaurant definitely wasn’t worth the LONG wait or the price.

Smoke is my favorite place to eat. Smoked bbq meats on tacos. All food made in house from scratch with quality ingredients. Everything on the menu is excellent. If you stop on a Sunday make sure to try a donut, the best you’ll ever eat!

Amazing food! If the Burnt Ends are available, they are A MUST! All of the tacos I had were very flavorful and had so much meat! The atmosphere is very casual and friendly! Local drinks and mixed drinks are fantastic. The Brisket is also darn near perfect (if not perfect)!! A great restaurant all around!

Food: I ordered the brisket special, the ultimate fried chicken taco and the chorizo taco. The tacos were too saucy with melted cheddar and mayo. There was not much flavor. There were no condiments or salsas Service: The tacos came 45 mins after I ordered with no apology from the staff for the poor service Price: 9.00$ a taco is way too expensive. You are better of going to Condados for a similar text mex taco with more customization, better condiments and better taste at a much friendlier price point. You have to pay upfront including the tip. Vibe/Ambience: The atmosphere is nice

Attentive servers, good food and good vibes. We had the Mac and cheese and one of the tacos. ** SMOKE IS ALSO DOG FRIENDLY ** The taco was so good we didn't even get a picture of it since it was eaten too fast. Best Mac and cheese I've ever had

Five stars for the staff!! But that food was beyond bland. Having lived in El Paso may have contributed to this but that taco meat had zero flavor. Very generic. Definitely overpriced. Guacamole was ok.. Was not a fan. But like I said, staff was AWESOME.

Don't sleep on this spot. The food is really delicious, the tacos are stuffed! I've certainly seen much smaller tacos for more money. The burritos are great and the chips are awesome. Somehow they're unique and have a sort of crispy bubbly thing going on which is really hard to do with corn chips. They're also seasoned well. The only thing this place needs is to finish its sorta DIY decor and lack of dishes. But that's something that can come along later.

We frequent this place quite often. Angela is normally our waitress, greeting us by name and always with a smile! She knows what we order by heart!The food and service and atmosphere are quite awesome. We will continue to patronize this gem of a local watering hole while supporting Angela and the rest of the team! Thank you for a job well done!

Ordered chorizo and steak tacos and chips and pico. my steak taco was cold the chorizo was over cooked and tasted a little burnt. And I wish the chips came with a larger container of pico my first and last visit

This is such a great taco place to visit any day of the week! The girls are always incredibly pleasant and the atmosphere is great, tacos are delicious! Many options to choose from. Thanks 202 for 6 awesome years 😁

THE best local bar! Angela (bartender) made the most delicious on the rocks Margaritas! We had one mango, one blueberry, they are perfectly balanced, and super fresh…If you’ve not been here, you should…

We are locals who frequented this establishment regularly because they have reasonable food at a reasonable price. The staff are always friendly. They did open a new dining room that has awful acoustics and while finishing up taco Tuesday with my 3 and 5 year old, they became a little bit roudy. I was disappointed that we were told our children are too loud due to another guest. I would not recommend this establishment to anyone with kids. As a Bellevue resident who walks here with my kids, I was saddened by this.

I come here last minute after my brunch plans fell through and I’m very happy I did. This food is scrumptious. The prices are amazing. The chips add amazing. The salsa needed a little more heat and a little more flavor. I can’t believe how good this food is. The staff were really friendly especially compared to the restaurant we were originally supposed to eat at. I will be back.

Past experiences at this location have always been excellent. Apparently something recently has changed. The food was tasty, but the portion sizes have been greatly reduced. (See picture of taco as delivered) Tuesday dinner specials have been discontinued. On a positive note, service was very good, facility was clean.

noo bro dont eat here... your dollar is worth more than flavorless ground beef when you're expecting steak !! 😭 never like to leave negative reviews but the price is so not worth it. guac is just chunky tomato and onion- basically browning when served. it might be a comfort place for some people, but it really was a disappointment. man the old el paso tacos were not what i was expecting </3 best part was the chips n salsa😭

The Skrewball margarita and the cheesy fried shrimp was really good. I sat at the bar so I didn't get a full scope of the restaurant. The staff was nice as well.

I am trying to figure out how this place has 4.3 stars. DO NOT GO here, they are very over price for what you get and don't get me started on the flavorless meat. Taco Bell is more authentic then this place. Never in my life been to a Mexican restaurant as flavorless as this place. Literally their taco had a hard shell with just flavorless beef and shredded lettuce. Sad excuse of a Mexican restaurant. If I could give ZERO stars I would.

Had a great lunch the other day. We got the lunch specials. They came out quickly and we're perfectly prepared. Fair pricing. Nice atmosphere. Friendly service. Highly recommended.

The food was so good, the prices are fantastic. It’s not too expensive to eat here with your family and the portions are big. Our waitress was so nice, friendly and helpful.

El Paso is an absolute gem! The food here is nothing short of amazing. Every dish is packed with incredible flavors, and the portions are generous, ensuring you leave both satisfied and impressed. The taste is truly marvellous – authentic, fresh, and perfectly spiced. It’s a must-visit place for anyone who loves Mexican cuisine or simply enjoys a fantastic dining experience. Highly recommend!

My boyfriend and I stopped through for dinner while driving through the area. We walked inside and were seated almost immediately. The restaurant is really unique inside with wall murals stretching all across the restaurant. Once we were seated it took a second for someone to come by to take our drink order and drop off a chip basket with salsa. Our server was also not very personable or friendly. She was pretty to the point and didn’t really seem like she wanted to be there. I will note however, a man I assume to be a floor manager was regularly checking up on us. Once we ordered our food came out pretty quickly. My boyfriend ordered the Chicken Chimichangas (“4/5 ⭐️/ delicious / heavy but in a good way”) and the cheese dip that comes with chorizo (also very good). I ordered the Quesabarilla Tacos (really good, but very messy). During our meal, the server came through pretty frequently to bus the table. While I don’t usually mind a server pre-busing the table, I felt like i was being rushed through my meal. All together it wasn’t a bad experience and I wouldn’t mind going back. I just hope the service is a little better next time.

First, they act like they didn’t want to take my order. Second, the chicken quesadilla I ordered was very disappointing, a small rolled over tortilla with shredded chicken, a little cheese and nothing else! Third, they tried to give me this little bowl of queso I had to pay for. Needless to say, they don’t have to worry about about me or anyone else I know patronizing their business ever again. Good riddance to bad rubbish!

Beautiful murals on the walls, service is so fast it’s unreal and the steak quesadilla makes me transport to another world. Hands down my fav Mexican restaurant in and near pittsburgh.

Spent $70 for takeout and my food was dry, cold, and I didn't receive the tortillas I paid extra for. My burrito is supposed to be covered with ranchero sauce. It looks like they scraped what was left from the bottom of the pan and called it good. First time patronizing this place and probably my last. **Update** Found plastic in the food. Definitely not going back.

I come here every week from Dormont. This is the best Mexican restaurant I've found in Pittsburgh. The service, food, atmosphere, and kid-friendliness make this place number one for our family.

food & drinks are consistently great. birria tacos & the burritos have been our favorites. eddie is awesome and we love coming here regularly!

This little “hole in the wall” spot blew our minds! The guacamole was fresh and the chips crispy! The presentation of the food was beautiful and tantalizing. The burrito itself was DELICIOUS. The service we received was warm and gracious even arriving 45 minutes before they closed. The atmosphere was calm and chill—they had a comfy lounge area with a big screen as well! 10/10 place to go to just chill with your group or stop for some quick eats. You won’t be disappointed! The second photo was my leftover bit of the burrito. So much yummy food for a good price!

My favorite place to eat. Everything is wonderful and made to order. The Chefs are amazing and the atmosphere is great!!!!

Stopped here for the first time after moving to the neighborhood recently. This place is amazing! Everyone was really friendly, and the food is — in a word — incredible. I got a Torta Milanesa, and my husband got tacos, and they were both amazing. The chips and guac (which are also delicious) felt like a bonus. We’re so excited to go back! Thanks!

Moved to the neighborhood recently and HAD to check this place out. The men who run this place are so incredibly kind! They have the best homemade salas and the best burritos. The burritos are very different from others in the city and I liked that, they’re lighter on your stomach too. The atmosphere of the restaurant is fabulous, definitely feels like you’re not in Braddock or pittsburgh really.

ONE YEAR LATER UPDATE: Quality is still amazing and I’m pleasantly surprised every time I try a new menu item. New photos are of the chorizo hash they do on Sunday for brunch! . . . I got to say - when you take a bite and taste the freshness of each ingredient it is worth every penny. This is a gem in the Braddock neighborhood. On top of that the ownership and employees are always courteous and helpful. I live in the area and will DEFINITELY be back!

I love Mexican food and I try to sample as many places as I can. This is some of the best I’ve ever had. Good price, made quickly, a whole lot of food, and comes with chips and guacamole.

Looking for flavorful tacos in Pittsburgh that will fill your stomach? This is the place. The food? Delicious. The vibes? Immaculate. Service? Yes.
