“Definitely not for the faint or older generations. Food was amazing. Vibe definitely geared towards younger millennial/gen-z crowd. I’m a Xennial and I loved every second of it. Definitely coming back. Food accurately priced for the quality. And my drink came in a zebra glass! Dancing shark was a fun bonus too. Haha.”

“I’ve been enjoying Mexican cuisine for over 50 years, but I must say that Tepache is hands down the best, most authentic, flavorful of them all. The service is spot on and their selections of house made margaritas are all amazing. Don’t look any further. Just go here”

“Great food, good service. Only thing I did not like is that they automatically added an 18% tip charge to may bill and I was a party of 1. I would have given my server 20% tip, but the fact that they unilaterally added it rubbed me the wrong way.”

“Sever was very polite, food was pretty quick! The Queso was delicious & chips tasted really fresh. The Shrimp Taco was really plain, good shrimp but just needed some kind of sauce. My daughter said the quesadilla was good. I tried the sauce that came with the pastor tacos & it was Hot Lol !! Maybe we will return again sometime to try some other things. Pretty good, very cute atmosphere!”

“They were a lifesaver when we forgot to order food for a little party. We called and very quickly we had delicious food delivered. It was fresh and delicious. I’ve also been to the food truck and it is equally good. They give a lot back to local charities which puts them on my ❤️ list. Totally saved the day today”

“The assistant manager Gabriel is the most kind and caring man; he exceeds expectations of a restaurant manager by a long shot! This modern Mexican restaurant showboats Mexican pride, while having more than reasonable prices. Food was cooked perfectly and quickly, it felt like we just ordered. I cannot recommend this place enough; the delicious margaritas are an added bonus too. Nothing but positive vibes over here! Huge shout out to our server Fran for being so great with my toddler! He went the extra mile engaging with my child, to the point of my son smiling and giggling every time he came back.”

“This place is amazing. The food is insanely good and very affordable. You know it’s the real deal because the website doesn’t work, advertises Asian food although it’s Latin, and the sauces come in sandwich bags. Straight fire. This is the place! Buy now.”

My husband asked to plan a trip to Pittsburgh next year for the NFL draft- I only agreed because he promised me we could eat at this restaurant! Looking forward to that a year from now!!!”

“SERIOUSLY, BEST Mexican food I've tasted. Great and friendly staff. Got a double tequila, combo plate...$25. UNREAL! End result, this place is TOPS! EDIT: Been there at least once a week since initial review. Owner and staff always seem to treat me like Familia. Usually go on off peak hours, so we're always chatting World Cup and anything else that pops to mind when they're not busy. Slowly getting to know everyone's name and story. Although I'm white Irish-American, getting to know other cultures interests me more than typical Americans. Happy to say this might just be my new regular hang. Going for the USA game Monday. Sure me and staff will be jabbing at each other in a friendly way, especially when Belgium embarrasses us. Again, BEST STAFF, FOOD, DRINK AND VALUE!”

“Very good. Pleasant change from the usual giant taco, burrito street food norm in Pittsburgh. Amongst other nice flavours, the Queso a good deal tastier than the usual Velveeta & bottled salsa fair. Had no idea what to order and server very helpful, including checking with his other staff, and we let him fill our order as recommended, from the combo Sangria / Margarita cocktail through app and entree. Not a complicated menu but was nice to have that guided hand!”

“Overall was good when I visited. They did get my meat wrong though as I had asked for steak and was given chicken. I didn’t want to food waste so I told them I would eat the chicken if they were just going to toss it out but they could’ve given me a partial refund or even just an extra sope with the steak since it was their mistake and not mine. Really small space so best if you’re grabbing takeaway or just solo for a quick meal alone.”

“We had täkō last night in Pittsburgh for the first time and it was SO GOOD! They had their Spookeasy pop up Halloween bar and the set up was so cool, it was pretty packed with it being Halloween weekend but it was such a cool atmosphere! We ended up getting seats at the bar and the two bartenders were so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful with deciding what drinks we wanted to try! The tacos.....the octopus is the BEST, chorizo was second best for me. Pictures aren't the greatest, but it's the best I got. Definitely a great time if you're feeling fancy 🍶 It's not cheap, but I'd say definitely worth it for the food, drinks, staff and just the atmosphere of it all.”

“Threw a last minute gathering at Mamacitas in their private room and it was perfect!! The atmosphere was amazing for our small girls gathering. They set the room up beautifully with some flower arrangements and table decorations. The staff was wonderful and attentive, but never intrusive. The food and drinks were constantly flowing. The room was much bigger than we needed and could have accommodated many more people, but also worked well for our small group and didn’t feel huge because of the decor and special touches. Food was wonderful as always. Highly recommend having an event here in the future!”
