“I come from a Mexican family in California, so when I moved to Pittsburgh, I was deeply disappointed at the lack of good, authentic Mexican food. When I found this place, I rejoiced! The food is amazing: made with the authentic basics in mind, yet refined with originality. It really feels like home in all the best ways.“

“It was a great place for dinner. With a decent amount of vegetarian options, the place had a nice selection of appetizers and entrees to choose from. The drinks menu was also quite nice with some unique drinks. The quantity of the food was really niceBetween 2 of us, we ordered 1 nachos, 1 burrito, 1 pair of tacos and 2 drinks. Quite enjoyed and look forward to having their churros once“

“The wife and I are always looking for a new place to try pretty much each week. I've been seeing so many reviews, we had to check the place out.I have to say, I agree with everyone else. The food is excellent ?.The menu is simple which I love and everything I've had I love and will be back for more.I've always wanted to try Mofongo, so that was a no brainer. I went with what others were raving about and got the Pernil?? I am not much of a pulled pork guy but this stuff is the bomb!!Can't wait to go back.They also have a large seating area.We played games while we waited and they were free.“

“You may like to build your own tacos from the nice selection of ingredients or choose one off the list by name. The music played at a volume not too loud but not soft and I enjoyed the songs. The margarita was awesome. The taco tasted the best of any place I have been.“

“5 stars all the way. I'm vegetarian and my server recommended the mushroom taco. OMG. It was crispy oyster mushrooms with the precise amount of heat. I also go the baha fish taco and subbed potato for the fish. The potato was so crispy I thought they messed up my order and gave me fish. It was awesome, I can't wait to enjoy it again! I can't remember my servers name, but she was great too!“

“We order chorizo tacos and burritos from California Tacos. The food is consistently good and full of flavor. The chicken would be a better choice for those who are sensitive to heat. They provide fresh lime slices for the tacos, which is great! Pay cash and avoid the service fee. Love this establishment!“

“I tend to enjoy menus that encourage you to build your own entrees, so that's a plus here. Good ingredients served on sustainable-ware.Huge windows but faces a parking lot.Vegetarian options: The tofu was crisp and tasty! Lots of sauce and condiments combinations to keep things seasoned.“

“Quirky location, but that only makes it better. Definitely worth the visit. Afteryour first, round two will definitely be on your mind. Also, where else can you get tacos, a sixer, scratchers, and a redballs all in the same spot? Do it! Do it! Do it! ?“

“I orderes the platos con pollo, and it was delicious. The flavors meshed well, and the spices did not overpower the natural flavors. With the piquant, vibrant salsa, the food was the perfect blend of spicy, sweet, sour (due to the acidity of the tomatoes), bitter and umami! Regarding the servicd the nice man who was working was incredibly polite and helpful. He made sure our food turnes out fine. And he brought silverware over to us. I went here for my birthday with a close friend. And I was grateful to spend my cumpleaños here. ¡Muchos gracias por una expercion fantasicta!“
“About a month ago my wife and I were looking for another restaurant which was closed but we drove by this joint so I called at 5:30 on a Friday night and was told they were 100% booked all night. So, I had to investigate. This is a small place with only about 12 tables and a very small bar, I think a 4 seater. We had the greens and beans with sausage. This version had both spinach and escarole and was a solid 4. Our two entrees were the veal and peppers and veal scaloppini both very similar. The veal was cooked perfectly and the the mushrooms were plentiful in the delicious gravy. The portion size was not small but not enormous, my bride was the only one with leftovers. However the coconut cream pie was enormous and amazingly and a true 5! The service was spot on and BYOB. Would highly recommend and return!“

“Adorable taco joint right in the center of downtown. Convention center is only a block or two away, making it a great stop during Tekko or AnthroCon.Is it the fanciest, most authentic taco you'll find in the city? No. But what they are is a comforting take on American-Mexican food, served in a non pretentious, fun environment.They're a chain, too. There's a bunch in greater Pittsburgh, and some in Ohio and such as well.“

“Too good couldn't take a picture until I was done! Got the chicken quesadilla and it was moist and delicious! Only complaint is it didn't come with salsa on the side! After I ordered I noticed you could add some for 25cents but then the line was too long too get any! It was a huge amount and very filling!“

“Honestly I’m a bigger fan of their vibe and drinks than food. It’s a fun place to hang out with friends and drinks are great. Food is just okay in my opinion. I’m not a big fan of these type of tacos and menu is very limited otherwise.“

“If you like Mexican food and are in downtown Pittsburgh, make it a point to stop at this restaurant. The place itself has a wonderfully cozy ambience. Ordered the black and gold burrito. It may have a hometown name but it is wonderfully authentic all the way down to the mole sauce and queso dip. Just really flavorful delicious! Definitely going to be back.“

“Yallah restaurant is located in the food court of Ross Park Mall. The menu lists foods such as nachos, burritos, fajitas, quesadillas, rice bowls, and tacos. The prices are reasonable.My husband and I ordered a burrito, which was very large and fresh, tortilla chips with queso, which tasted very cheesy, and a mango drink, which tasted very sweet. The cashier and cook did a good job.“

“Solid little food truck for Mediterranean meals. Essentially everything is made in house (although, I’m not sure about the bread/tortilla/pita). I tried the tandoori chicken wrap as well as a dessert wrap.The tandoori chicken wrap was good. A bit small maybe, but still solid. The chicken itself is nicely spiced; it is definitely flavorful, maybe even a bit too spicy for me. Good texture, well cooked. I asked for mine without lettuce.The tomatoes were juicy and very good as well. There’s nothing really special about the bread. Just average. The sauce was good as well, nice kick.The dessert pita was interesting. It had a lot of nuts, bit of coconut, Nutella, chocolate spread, and maybe a few other things as well. Kind of a random concoction of sweet items in a tortilla. It’s good, and I really liked the Nutella especially. But, a bit odd and the tortilla tasted somewhat stale.All in all, a solid spot. Decent prices, okay portions. Quality halal food that’s made by the owner.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options for bowls and wraps, desserts as well“

“I love coming here for a couple of modern American tacos from time to time. The drinks are always good and I try to switch up which tacos I try each time. The guacamole is a very creamy consistency but packed with flavor, definitely recommend as an appetizer! I like the brisket and pork and seafood options but just can't get behind the ground beef here, I think it's the seasoning they use.Fun artwork to look at while you dine and the outdoor patio is open in summer for a casual fresh air bar atmosphere. They also have yummy brunch loaded potato skins and sometimes holiday drink specials. I shared some pics from multiple trips here. What I think is the odd part is how they have changed their plating a few times, sometimes serving items in plastic ramekins and sometimes right on the same plate.Parking: The parking is part of the same plaza that is shared with the Yard gastropub.“

“They have pretty good hard and soft shell tacos or you can get a soft taco around a crunchy taco as well. The various options a big chicken fish although I didn't see any shrimp to the best of my knowledge and would be a great addition. If you did get shrimp make sure you grill it as well as some people on Shore like it fried. Another suggestion would be putting the sauces and cremas and guacamole on the bottom. This way it doesn't go everywhere when you bite into it. It's probably our third time here this time we had the Pollo smoked taco which was pretty good. Also had the shaved prime rib but it was a little dry and it was more chopped not shaved. Also had the fish taco that was fried it wasn't too bad but I think if you'd sear it blackened Cajun or something on those lines would be a little bit more moist and flavorful.Vegetarian options: To have multiple vegetarian optionsDietary restrictions: Can work with most dietary restrictionsParking: Ample parkingKid-friendliness: Good kid friendly itemsWheelchair accessibility: Is wheelchair accessible“

“Best tacos that I've had in a long time. For those that do not like it spicy be careful, the orange colored hot sauce is actually hot. Pico is also fantastic. Lastly they offer chard jalapenos as a side to go with the tacos. Every kind that I have tried has been wonderful.Parking: Small lot in front of the building.“
“My second attendance. A great place to start the afternoon. Friendly, polite, hospitable. and endearing. The afternoon patrons are all friends that stop by to pay their respect to each other and the staff. I've received welcoming reception during both visits; literally from all--staff, owners, and patrons. Handshakes, warm embraces, kind words, and thoughtful appreciation for my attendance is always shared. So glad my friend/frat brother invited me. I will go again, again, again, and again!“

“A new favorite. The wife and I got put on to this place by the kids. Everything here is freshly made and you can see them making everything right there. Burritos and tacos are great and the Fries and Cheese are the best ??Parking: Usually plenty of street parking but you may have to go up, down and around due to all the various one way streets.“

“I came here for marvel trivia night and it was fun. I wasn't a big fan of the drink I had, I got one of signature cocktails for the night called the Wanda vision. It was pretty strong, I thought it would be more flavorful but was just kind of bland. The cocktails were 13 each so not a terrible deal. The service was nice, they are pretty warm, and overall it's a fun place to be. It's really pretty inside.“

“This was our first time at Steel Mill and we will be going back. We were hosting our friends from NY so we wanted a relaxed atmosphere with a view. The hostess was willing to seat us upstairs to catch the city view. They were accommodating for one in our party that couldn't eat meat with multiple options. The food was so tasty and our waitress was excellent. She was accommodating, friendly, and attentive. Definitely will eat there again.“

“We went here with our son and his wife, who live in the area. From the moment we walked in, my stomach was growling from the delicious scent of smoked meats! From the many delectable-sounding choices, I finally chose the pork taco and an apple chicken taco. Wow! The first bite had a kickback of spice that I wasn't expecting, but as I got used to it, I loved it! Oftentimes, spice overrides flavor, but this time, the pork was so tasty that everything blended well! Unfortunately, I didn't get to taste the chicken one I ordered because I was too full. I took it back and ended up forgetting it in my son's fridge. Oh well! My daughter-in-law had recommended it and will enjoy it. We'll just have to go back next time we visit.“

“Wonderful addition to the South Hills. The food and service are both excellent and you can't help but feel like family. They are so welcoming and really make an effort to make you feel at home. We have made Tocayo a weekly favorite. The fajitas and salsa and guacamole are fantastic. Great place for some margaritas after Cool Springs as well.“

“I love this little gem of a place. A small menu of all delicious, moderately prices items. My favorite is the braised beef taco, although all of their tacos are delicious. Pair with a delicious Mexican beer, simple margarita or another gourmet tequila cocktail.“

“Shorty's has the potential to be a really cool place. After visiting and reading a few reviews, it's clear to me that the problem is the staff. When the staff doesn't care, standards get lowered. On Wesnesday (3/20) around 7:30-8pm when I visited, Shorty's was pretty quiet. Just a few tables. The staff had zero enthusiasm. Our waitress wasn't welcoming, she didn't make chit chat, she never smiled or made eye contact, she didn't talk up the food and drinks. The owners should do an assessment of their staff and retrain or let go the one's that are not contributing to business. Get the right people working there and Shorty's could really thrive.For food we had the Wachos- they were good but they needed to be hotter. The sweet potato mash -delicious. The honey cornbread -too dry, just okay. And the two piece fried chicken -I loved it! Hot, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Very flavorful. For drinks -we had the daiquiri on tap and the sangria on tap. They were sweet and very strong. The drinks are more like party bar drinks, not craft beverages.Atmosphere and vibe is cool and like I said, could be much better with the right people working there.Kid-friendliness: My 7-year old had fun. He had the kids grilled cheese and he liked it.“

“Ordered a Bellevue bowl and a mojitoThe Bellevue bowl was fantastic, and the turnaround time from ordering was only around 5 minutes which was awesome, and I'll definitely be returning either to dine in with friends or pickup a Bellevue bowl for takeout.The mojito on the other hand was pretty weak, in more ways than one. It came out with no mint in it and no minty flavor, and when I asked for some extra mint the waitress (who was excellent) let me know that they used a mojito mix. She did offer to bring me out some extra mix which was kind of her. The drink itself was fairly weak too, and it was served in a pretty skinny highball packed with ice so the drink was gone in 4-5 sips. They really only need fresh mint to make their own mojitos considering they should have rum, simple syrup, and club soda stocked already so it did feel like a cop-out for a $7 cocktail at a Mexican restaurant. At least they have the margaritas down! Just steer clear of the mojito“
