“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.“
“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!“
“So glad we finally stopped in! This place impressed us. We shared the spicy mango salsa, house salsa, Steak Baja burrito (amazing chipotle sauce!) and chicken quesadilla. Everything was tasty, fresh, portions were great, and service was incredibly fast. Excited to frequent!Dietary restrictions: Menu clearly states vegan/vegetarian options and they seem to take gluten sensitivity seriously.“
“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“
“I ordered THC from Uber Eats for dinner tonight and it was excellent. The bowl was BIG and made with fresh ingredient; I particularly loved the flavor of the chicken. Definitely recommend the queso and guac too! Like the other reviews say, skip Chipotle and order from The Hungry Cowgirl!“
“I've spent 30 years in Los Angeles (and Mexico and around the world) enjoying amazing Mexican/Hispanic cuisine. We are finally getting some authentic and creative Hispanic food in the Burgh! Yesterday I tried Tepache Fox Chapel. The menu was very creative with authentic dishes from around the world. I tried the birria tacos. They were perfect! "A Jalisco staple. Quick-fried chipotle-corn tortilla stuffed with beef slow-marinated in chile de árbol and cinnamon, topped with raw onion, cilantro, melted queso Oaxaca. Served with lime and consomé broth for dipping." Yes they even came with console broth!!!!! The drink menu was also very creative! Great service and as we know a beautiful restaurant!“
“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!“
“They have best tacos I ever had. I went here for first time and believe me, this is my favourite from now.I ordered chicken quesadillas, Hard tacos with rice and beans, with overload veggies. Was so so so delicious.I had another soft tacos by their recommendation. It was also good.And 3 leach is fabulous.Highly Highly Recommended.“
“The food at this place as absolutely great. We always compare food with the best Mexican restaurant we’ve ever been to (in Arizona) and this is the closest competitor we’ve had so far. The guacamole was great, so were the deserts. The one complaint we had was the music is so loud it’s hard to talk with people at your own table. We wish the music was a little quieter. Other than that, it was great!Parking: We had to park at the bank. It’s pretty difficult to find parking unfortunately.“
“Absolutely overjoyed to have authentic mexican in my neighborhood! As I was born and raised in California, I know the real deal when I taste it and everything we had was truly the best I've had in the 18 years I've lived in Pittsburgh! We look forward to when the dining room opens but in the mean time we will continue to take out and try everything!“
“El Rincón is my favorite place in Pittsburgh! I've been going to the food truck for a while now, and I'm so happy I could finally make it out to Carrick to try out the new restaurant. The tacos are always fresh, and the carnitas melt in my mouth. I had the agua de piña last night as well, and it was perfect! I love these guys so much; best of luck with the new restaurant :)“
“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!Vegetarian options: They had so many vegetarian and vegan options compared to many other restaurants. They have at least 6-7 in their menu itself and a few others that can be made vegetarian / vegan“
“The food here is always delicious. It reminds me of food down in Mexico. They have the best black beans by far. The service can be slow sometimes, but the food is never bad.Vegetarian options: You can get almost any dish made with no meat if you ask them. They are pretty good about it.“
“I love it, it is a very familiar place, the food is delicious and the service is very good, friendly and respectful. One of the best places you will find on the waterfront. I recommend itKid-friendliness: The atmosphere is very familiar and comfortable.“

“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“
“I ordered lunch from here for the first time using grubhub. I was quickly called to confirm my taco toppings, or should I say the lack thereof. I explained I like them on the simpler side for toppings. I am not sure if I spoke to the owner or not, but she was very kind. So apologized as one of the toppings I selected was currently out of stock and the drink I selected as well. She offered to replace my drink and even said she would send 2 with my delivery! I was shocked I wasn't expecting it, I understand things happen. Once my order arrived, it was just as I wanted, and upon inspection, there was a small gift card for the out of stock items to come back and try again. I am speechless they went above and beyond, especially for the price point of their food, which was delicious and really made my day better. I will now be taking my husband to try the place soon!“
“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! ?“
“Fabulous hidden gem!!!You can most definitely taste the passion the food is prepared with in every bite! HerThe steak tacos are soooooo…..tender and savory!The chicken quesadilla is packed with flavor!Vegetarians get in your cars and head on over for the BEST vegetarian, quesadilla that will ever grace your lips!“
“If you're looking for a good birria quesadilla, Stoney's have some of the best birria quesadillas in the Pittsburgh area with other tasty side options. Dont be shy to dive into their desserts as well, they have an amazing guava cheesecake i ordered, thats rich in every bite. I highly recommend great, atmosphere and great customer service.“
“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!“

“The food was good, the service was a little delayed could be because of the language barrier or because they were too busy. The atmosphere was not bad, just made me feel like I was an odd ball out for being there. Other than that everything else made the place great!“
“Don't know why this place doesn't have way more reviews and hasn't blown up yet, but it deserves so much more hype!! Las Palmas has the most authentic tacos I've had anywhere in Pittsburgh. It's essentially a taco stand outside of a Mexican grocery store -- you can't get any more authentic than that! You pay upfront by letting the cashier know how many tacos you want to get (3 was a good amount for a filling meal) and then you go up to the guy cooking and specify which meats you want in your tacos. You can see them literally cooking the meat right in front of you and it smells sooo good. I tried 3 different ones because I couldn't decide. There's a self serve toppings bar w all the classic options (salsas, guac, onions, etc) for you to load up your tacos after you get them freshly handed to you. The tacos were fire. There isn't any seating nearby which is probably my only complaint so we just ate them on some random steps nearby, but it's such a good vibe especially in the summer. If you're looking for tasty, cheap, and authentic tacos in Pittsburgh, this is your place!“
“Chose tacos and was able to try three proteins without it costing extra. Loved the variety of toppings. The roasted vegetables and mango salsa were delightful. The pickled onions are also very tasty, but adding them will potentially overwhelm everything else on the taco.“
“I had an opportunity to attend a catered event here, and sample a buffet of menu items. Everything from the tortilla soup, to the tacos was amazing, great choices in the specialty tacos/burritos. Also, the Cho’s are fire, and I can’t even“

“The absolute best Mexican restaurant in all of Allegheny County, Westmoreland County, etc! The service is top notch. The food is excellent every single time! The waiters & waitresses are so kind! Amazing service! & soooooo clean! I could not recommend this place enough!! Just top notch! Every single thing! Thank you Plaza!“
“The restaurant is in walking distance from the hotel, so it was super easy to get to. The entire staff was friendly from the time I walked in. The restaurant was very clean. The strawberry margarita on the rocks was very good. The food was flavorful and I received it before I could even finish my chips and salsa.“
“We came for lunch on Sat, and we grabbed the last table available. There were about four or five tables inside, and a couple outside. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. I tried the carne asada tacos. The flavor was great. The meat was slightly chewy, but maybe that's just the cut of meat. Overall we had a great time here. We enjoyed looking at all their mule theme decor. The whole time we were there, we only saw one wait staff. The food came quickly and we were in and out in about 45min.“
“This place has very good Mexican food. We're from the Southwest where good Mexican food is easy to find. Finding good Mexican food here has been a challenge. I had the rellenos with chicken, my husband had alambres pollo and both of us were very impressed. The chicken had been marinated & cooked on cast iron before being put inside my relleno which was egg washed and fried! It had amazing layers of flavor. The pico was fresh and crispy. My husband fell in love with the cilantro margarita. We has sopapillas for dessert which were thick, deep fried sopapilla chips with whipped cream, raspberry & chocolate drizzle & a scoop of ice cream. The food had authentic Mexican flavor & the ambiance is warm and welcoming & the use of multiple materials and textures shows the owners pride in his restaurant. We had a table that overlooked Market Square so we people watched & enjoyed Pittsburgh's historic architecture. 10/10“
“Went there yesterday for the first time with my girlfriend and i ordered the quesadilla supreme. It was really good one of the best meals i have had in a while. Service was super quick and food came fast. I would definitely recommend to a friend.“
“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.“
“Great food hall right in the lower north side. I went here on a Friday to meet someone, and it turned out it was 50% off all drinks at the bar (everyday from 4:30-6:30 I believe). I didn't have the opportunity to eat, but it appears there are 4 or 5 restaurants here currently. From what I saw there are a pizza shop, a taco place, wings, and I don't recall the others. Go and check the place out. Particularly nice I've the weather breaks. Follow for more...“
“I love the tacos from this place ? in particular the birria quesadilla comes with a side of “consome”where you can dunk it in the traditional way! ? the rice that accompanies the taco is very tasty too and the price is great! without saying that the service is angelic ❤️“
“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.“
“Maaannnnn when I tell u I been waiting all summer for the Street Corn!!!! I absolutely mean it!!! I have went to other places to try it out and I mean NOBODY have hit that spot like they have!!! I went last Friday and I ordered 3 and jus sat in the car and didn’t have a care in the world!!! Sooo good!!!“
“This was a true delight! The atmosphere was very authentic. My server recommended my meal and it was great!!! I had the El Salvador Pupusas! We were there during Happy Hour. I had a 20 oz Margarita, yummy! My husband partakes in the taco Tuesday event. He enjoyed thoroughly! What we loved the most were the prices!!! Definitely add to your list of restaurants to visit!Parking: Parking lot is free and ground level with entrance.Kid-friendliness: Very family oriented“
“We came here for a quick lunch over the weekend and enjoyed our meal here. We were quickly seated and brought menus and water. We all ordered the BYO tacos and they came out super quickly. We devoured our meal and service as attentive throughout. I'm glad I got to check out the South Hills Village location.“
“This Moe's location is somewhat unique in that orders are primarily placed using kiosks (iPad Pros -- nice choice!). You can also order at the counter if you prefer. The employees at this location are very friendly, food is served quickly, and the dining area is clean. Conveniently located on Fifth Ave; frequented by students and hospital workers.“
“Excellent service and food. The photo doesn’t do justice but we are so busy that we didn’t get a chance to take photos. Birria quesadilla was excellent. Drinks are great. We were visiting Pittsburgh from New York City and this is definitely one of the highlights of our trip.“
“Ordered delivery through the app, somehow the order was cancelled, so I called, they couldn’t see my order. I tried again without issue and was surprised by extra goodies for my inconvenience. This restaurant has great people working there, reward the person responsible for the great service! Order was4/4/24 @ 6:42pm“
